|
Encloses the letter of Mr. Wilkie, who was charged with the
affairs of H.M.'s consulate at Tripoli till he was superseded by
Mr. Barker. It contains a very faithful account of his situation.
Entreats his Lordship to take into consideration the peculiar
hardships Mr. Wilkie labours under in being left without employ
with a family dependent on him, after the assurances he received
from Commodore Harrison that he would be continued in the
consulate during his good behaviour, which was the occasion of
his leaving Mahon, where he had been established as a merchant
for a long time, with a good prospect and fair character. During
the two years and more he has been employed, there has been
no complaint of him; and the Bey, in a letter just received, expresses himself highly satisfied with his conduct. |
|
Mr. Wilkie's letter to Commodore Spry, his memorial to Lord
Weymouth, and an Italian translation of the Bey's letter.
Mr. Wilkie states that he had done the duty of the consulate for
the whole time, paying the customary presents (amounting to
250l. a year), and defrayed every other expense, without receiving
a shilling from the public, or the preceding or succeeding consuls.
