Hay is in this letter preparing Stuart in order to investigate the situation around the death of explorer Alexander Gordon Laing in Africa. Under-Secretary for the Colonies, Sir R[obert] W.Hay, who had been informed about the situation around Laing's missing Journals per private letter from the British Consul in Tripoli, Hanmer Warrington, announces his arrival in Paris to protest to the French government and advices ambassador Stuart:"I conclude that he [Baron Jean-Baptiste Rousseau] is by this

Add to basketCondition: Sehr gut. 5 octavo - pages on 2 sheets, folded. Excellent condition. Signed by Hay and dated probably "Monday, 19 Oct. [1829]". References: I. See "The Quarterly Review - Volume XLI (July & November 1829), page 465 and following pages, in which a report is discussed of a deposition by the British Vice-Consul 'Wood', t…hat in the month of June 1829 the arrival of the lost papers of the murdered Major Alexander Gordon Laing were imminent at Tripoli. It was then reported that the French consul général, Baron Jean-Baptiste de Rousseau was given these valuable papers of Major Alexander Gordon Laing and these then were demanded to be returned to the British in a personal visit to the French consulate at Tripoli by British consul, Hanmer Warrington, who was also the father-in-law of murdered explorer Aexander Laing. According to the report in te Quarterly Review, Baron de Rousseau was appaled to be ccused to have thes epapers or to hold them back and demanded evidence. The consequence of this was a full blown French-British diplomatic conflict and on page 471 of "The Quarterly Review" it is mentioned, that "We understand that our ambassador in Paris was instructed to demand from the French Government an investigation of the conduct imputed to Baron Rousseau; and that a commission was appointed to inquire, accordingly, into the transaction". The here offered letter by Robert William Hay to Baron de Rothesay, is the letter which reflects this report and the action of the British Crown to protest at Paris. Source II: Essay for "The National Archives", on April 5th, 2018, by Dr. Juliette Desplat: "From Tripoli to Timbuktu": In this essay, Dr.Desplat explains: "One hundred and ninety years ago, in April 1828, French explorer René Caillé became the first European to reach Timbuktu, in present-day Mali, and return alive. He was awarded 10,000 francs by the Société de Géographie, the French geographical society, and the book he published was funded by the French government. Caillé, however, had been preceded in Timbuktu Englishman [sic][correct: Scotsman], Major Alexander Gordon Laing. In January 1825, Laing was instructed by Lord Bathurst, the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, to 'proceed from Tripoli to Timbuctoo' to gather information on the Niger basin and determine the exact location of this city. Timbuktu's legend was based on the accounts of Arab travellers who had visited the city before the 16th century. Its name alone conjured up wondrous images of wealth and mystery. The roofs, they said, were made of gold These stories prompted a race to Timbuktu between two old rivals: Britain and France. In the words of the British consul at Tripoli, Hanmer Warrington, 'the French were making efforts to pluck from England's brow those laurels to which the latter was so justly entitled' so time was of the essence. Laing left Britain in February 1825, and reached Tripoli on 9 May. Warrington was quite taken with him, although he feared that 'the delicate state of his health' would prevent him from completing the mission. Laing seemed to get better in Tripoli, however, and started planning. It was agreed that the expedition would go through Ghadames, in what is now North-western Libya. The road from Tripoli to Ghadames was virtually unexplored and travelling along it would provide Laing with an opportunity to fill in a blank space on the map. On 14 July 1825, rather unexpectedly and after a whirlwind romance, Laing married Emma, Warrington's second daughter. The consul wasn't pleased. Sure enough, he found Laing 'clever and gentlemanly', and thought 'his talents were conspicuous' but, given the circumstances, he tried to block the wedding.[.] A few days after his wedding, Laing set out for Timbuktu under the guidance of Sheikh Babany, a merchant who had lived in Timbuktu and promised he could take Laing there in two and a half months. Having travelled across the Sahara, he reached Ghadames on 13 September, after what he described as 'a very tedious journey'. The journey had indeed been difficult: Laing had lost his barometers which couldn't sustain the heat nor the constant 'camel shaking' he was down to his last two thermometers, his chronometer had stopped due to the variations of temperature, and the glass of his artificial horizon had become dim because of the friction of sand. He wrote to Warrington: 'And a camel having unfortunately placed his great grouty foot upon my rifle one night as I lay with it on the ground, snapt the stock in two'. In Ghadames, Laing did a bit of digging and found out, much to his surprise, that the walls he had described as 'a mere mockery of defence' dated back to Roman times; he was looking for coins, and would probably have settled for an inscribed tablet or two, but instead uncovered only broken sarcophagi. Pressing on, Laing reached Salah, in present-day Algeria, in December. In January 1826, Laing and his party left Salah and started marching across the Tanezrouft desert. This was when things really started going wrong. Writing to Warrington on 10 May 1826, Laing described very vividly the injuries he received during a Tuareg attack. He didn't describe the attack itself, but from the number of wounds he sustained, and the severity of them, it must have been rather savage. Writing with his left hand, as his right hand had been 'cut three fourths across', he explained that he had received 24 wounds, 'eighteen of which are exceedingly severe'. He had numerous sabre cuts all over the head, face, arms and legs, multiple open fractures, and a musket ball in his hip had 'made its way through [his] back, slightly grazing the back bone'. He was left for dead. Against all odds, he somehow managed to survive both the attack and the 400-mile journey to Sheikh Sidi Muhammad's territory, from where he was writing. 'I am nevertheless, as I have already said, doing well', he assured the Consul with either great courage, foolish bravado, or a bit of both. Laing certainly didn't.
