reasons which made it proper to allow the local authority in Madagascar to prohibit the importation, might also have made it proper to allow the same authority to prohibit (if it should think fit) the exportation of munitions of war, and the remarks of the Procureur General of Mauritius on this subject (which certainly apply as much to the exportation as to the importation of contraband) seem to us to be deserving of attention. If this view were adopted, the sixth (English) Article might begin thus "No article whatever, save munitions of war, shall be prohibited from being imported into or "from being exported from the territories of Her Majesty the Queen of Madagascar.” (4.) Upon all the other points embraced in the observations of the Procureur General we concur entirely in the views expressed in the Foreign Office memorandum of the 25th of January 1865.
