SIR,—I have the honour to transmit to you, for the informa-
tion of the colony under your Government, a copy of a letter
from the Foreign Office, enclosing a list received from the
Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, showing the modifications
introduced by his Government into the limits of jurisdiction
of the Austro-Hungarian Consulates in the British Empire.

Foreign Office, 15th July, 1886.

SIR,—I am directed by the Earl of Rosebery to transmit
to you herewith, to be laid before Earl Granville, a copy of
a note from the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador at this Court,
enclosing a list showing the modifications which have been
introduced into the jurisdictional limits of the Austro-
Hungarian Consulates in the British Empire, inquiring
whether the Imperial and Royal Consul at Bombay will re-
quire a new exequatur, inasmuch as the limits of his juris-
diction have been extended to nearly the whole of British
India, as well as to Ceylon.

The enclosed letter has also been communicated to the
India Office.

I am, &c.,
T. V. LISTER.

The Under-Secretary of State, Colonial Office.

[TRANSLATION.]

Count Karolyi to the Earl of Rosebery.
Belgrave Square, 23rd June, 1886.

MONSIEUR LE COMTE,—I have the honour to inform your
Excellency that the Imperial and Royal Government has
thought it right to introduce some modifications in the dis-
trict of the Austro-Hungarian Consulates in the British
Empire, and I attach hereto a list showing the new organiza-
tion of this branch of our consular service.

The jurisdiction of the Imperial and Royal Consul at
Bombay having been extended to almost the whole of the
Indian Empire, and that Consul being now called on to
carry out his duties in places which previously did not form
part of the district for which Her Majesty the Queen had
granted him her exequatur, I leave it to the decision of your
Excellency whether, under the present circumstances, the
Imperial and Royal Government will have to apply for a
new exequatur, or whether it will be sufficient that the local
authorities in British India should be apprised of the ex-
tended jurisdiction of the Imperial and Royal Consul at
Bombay.

Meanwhile, until your Excellency has been good enough
to acquaint me with the views of Her Majesty's Government
in this matter,

I am, &c.,
KAROLYI.
