Consuls of the Levant Company (1583–1825)

[edit]
Consul Served from Served until Comments
Harvey Millers 1583 c. 1585 Appointed by William Harborne (first ambassador of the Kingdom of England to the Ottoman Empire) to be consul "in Cayro, Alexandria, Egypt and other parts adjacent."[2]
Paulo Mariani c. 1585 1586 Venetian. Transferred his allegiance to the English after serving as vice-consul for the French. Fled to Constantinople in the spring of 1586 "oppressed with many injuries."[3] Later appointed consul for France in Egypt. Hanged in Cairo at the instigation of de Brèves, the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.[4]
Vacant English merchants in Egypt under the protection of the French consul.[4]
Benjamin Bishop 1600 1601 Appointed by Henry Lello. Not recognized by his countrymen in Egypt. Had problems with his creditors as well as a very bad reputation, hence his dismissal.[4] Later converted to Islam.[5]
Third attempt

For fifty years after Fleetwood's appointment it is possible to trace in the company's books an unbroken line of English consuls in Cairo, and there is evidence that a certain amount of trade was being done. However, the political instability in Egypt during the 18th century as well as the exactions against the English merchants led to a decline in commerce. In 1754, the Levant Company resolved to abolish the Cairo consulate "by reason of the uncertainty of success and the certainty of a great and growing annual charge attending it." The books were ordered to be transferred to Cyprus. Richard Harris, the consul in Egypt, placed English affairs under the protection of his Dutch colleague and withdrew early in 1757.[6]

George Baldwin 7 January 1786 8 February 1793
(de facto until 1796)
Baldwin was appointed "to be His Majesty's Consul General in Egypt" on 7 January 1786.[7] In February 1793 he was informed by William Grenville, the Foreign Secretary, that "His Majesty had no further occasion for your services as Consul General in Egypt." For some reason, however, Baldwin did not receive the dispatch. He did not learn of his dismissal until early 1796 when the duplicate of the letter reached him. He thus acted as British consul-general until 1796, and did not leave Egypt until 1798.[8] George Baldwin by Joseph Bouvier

Ernest Missett[1]
(British Resident at Cairo)
March 1803 September 1807 On the evacuation of Egypt by the British forces in March 1803, Major Missett was appointed "British Resident to the Pasha of Cairo," although he informally acted as British consul-general in Egypt.[9] He thus became the first British agent in Cairo since 1796.[10] He repeatedly worked to discredit the French in the eyes of the pasha and instigated another British invasion of Alexandria in 1807, which led to his departure from Egypt.[9]

Ernest Missett
(British Consul-General)
25 June 1811 March 1816 Missett triumphantly returned to Egypt as British Consul-General on 25 June 1811. He landed in Alexandria amid much pomp. However, he was physically diminished and had to use a wheelchair.[9] He asked the Foreign Office to release him from his duties on the grounds of ill health, and left Egypt in 1816 following the arrival of his successor Henry Salt.[11]

Consuls-General (1825–1846)

[edit]

On 19 May 1825 the Company Secretary sent a letter to the Foreign Office stating: "The Levant Company has, this day, executed a deed for the surrender of its Charter into the hands of His Majesty." At this point, the Company had only 11 consulates left in the region (including the one in Alexandria), down from 32 in 1592.[12] At the time of the British government's takeover of the consular officials of the Levant Company in 1825, the consul-general in Egypt was Henry Salt, who continued to serve until his death on 30 October 1827.[13] Following Salt's death, the consul at Alexandria, John Barker, acted as consul-general in Egypt but was not formally appointed till 1829.[14] Barker's three immediate successors, who served in Egypt from 1833 until 1846, were all colonels with a military background. Charles John Barnett was raised to the rank of consul-general and agent in 1844, following a request made by Egypt's viceroy, who had already persuaded France to bestow this rank upon its consul-general.[13]

Compensation

[edit]

George Baldwin's annual salary of £1,450 was paid for by the government: £500 by the Secret Service, and £950 by the Treasury (Starkey, p. 30). His salary was suspended yet he was mysteriously able to survive.

Henry Salt had 12 months in arrear and was barely able to survive on his salary.[5]

In the mid-19th century, the British consul-general in Egypt was the highest-paid British consul in the world, with an annual salary of £1,800.[6][7]

Notes

[edit]
a^ : Sir Eldon Gorst served as British agent and consul-general in Egypt until his death on 12 July 1911. He had almost restored British control when he became stricken with cancer and went back to England to die.[118] Sir Milne Cheetham took charge of the British Agency for Gorst in the summer of 1911, as he had already done in the summer of 1910.[56] Gorst's successor, Lord Kitchener, was appointed on 6 September 1911.[55]
b^ : Kitchener left but Cheetham continued to play important role.
c^ : The Suez Crisis
d1 2 3 4 5 : The United Arab Republic
e^ : The Rhodesia crisis started when the former British colony of Southern Rhodesia declared itself independent from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965. The Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was signed by the administration of Ian Smith, which opposed black majority rule in Rhodesia. Although the move was condemned as illegal by the British government, several African countries accused the United Kingdom of failing to act on Rhodesia's UDI. The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), meeting at Addis Ababa in its Sixth Extraordinary Session from 3 to 5 December 1965, adopted a resolution (ECM/Res. 13) warning "that if the United Kingdom does not crush the rebellion and restore law and order, and thereby prepare the way for majority rule in Southern Rhodesia by 15 December 1965, the Member States of the OAU shall sever diplomatic relations on that date with the United Kingdom".[119] When the deadline passed without forceful action by the British government, nine African states decided to implement the Council of Ministers' resolution. Egypt (which was officially called the United Arab Republic at the time) broke diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom on 15 December 1965, along with Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Congo (Brazzaville), Tanzania, Algeria, Sudan and Mauritania.[120]
