PONDICHERY, 14 Octobre, 1865.

MONSIEUR LE CONSUL. J'ai l'honneur de vous prier de vouloir bien faire connaitre, par le mode de publication que vous croirez devoir employer, à MM. les Capitaines de Navires qui auront à aborder notre rade, que du 1 Mars au 1 Mai, 1866, le feu du phare de Pondichéry sera remplacé par un double feu fixé à la tête du Basmat de Pavilion. Ce feu sera visible à 5 milles en mer et suffira je pense pour indiquer le mouillage. Cette substitution temporaire est nécessitée par les réparations que nous devons faire à la lanterne du phare.

Veuillez agréer, Monsieur le Consul, l'assurance de ma haute considération.

Le Commissaire Général de la Marine, Gouverneur des établissements Français de l'Inde,

Monsieur H. DU CHESNE,

Consul de France à Hongkong. Pour copie conforme,
