§ MR. JACOB BRIGHTasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If the Government will provide that from time to time Consular visits shall be paid to the Congo River, with the view of furnishing periodical reports on subjects bearing upon the relations of our commerce in that part of Africa?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKESir, Her Majesty's Consul at Loanda has been called upon to furnish such information as he is able to procure with regard to the trade in the Congo. The delay which has taken place in the preparation of Mr. Cohen's annual Report is probably owing to a recent illness. The Congo lies within the Consular district of Her Majesty's Consul at Loanda, 109 who is consequently enabled to visit it should he think it necessary to do.
