§ MR. LEWIS FRY (for Mr. GOURLEY)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he will endeavour to arrange with the Turkish Government to allow vessels trading between the French Mediterranean ports and the Black Sea with clean bills of health, and not communicating with the shore, to pass through the Bosphorus without performing quarantine?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEUnder the regulations which Her Majesty's Government understand are now 25 in force vessels bound to Russian ports on the Black Sea are allowed to pass through the Bosphorus without performing quarantine on condition that they take two Turkish health guards at the Dardanelles, carry them on to those ports, and after receiving pratique, Bring or send them back at the vessel's cost to the Dardanelles. It does not seem that any change has been made in this regulation in consequence of the outbreak of cholera at Toulon.
