Özet:

 James Yeames was the British Consul General in Odessa from 1819 to 1854. He was renowned for his meticulous and trustworthy reports on both the commercial and diplomatic matters. John Lord Ponsonby, the British Ambassador to Istanbul, feared that the Russians might invade Istanbul and the Straits whenever necessary. Therefore, Ponsonby requested Yeames for information regarding the status and activities of the Russian army and navy. Yeames reports were beneficial to Ponsonby, even though he was a consul with a mandate to deal only with commercial matters and lacked formal training in diplomacy. This study introduces and transcribes the comprehensive and detailed report prepared by Yeames on February 10, 1839.

 James Yeames 1819-1854 yılları arasında Odesada İngiliz Başkonsolosu olarak görev yaptı. Hem ticari hem de diplomatik konularda hazırladığı titiz ve güvenilir raporlarıyla tanınmaktaydı. İngilterenin İstanbul Büyükelçisi John Lord Ponsonby, Rusların kendileri için uygun gördükleri vakitte İstanbulu ve Boğazları işgal edebileceğinden endişe etmekteydi. Ponsonby, bu nedenle, Yeamesten Rus ordusunun ve donanmasının durumu ve faaliyetleri hakkında bilgi aktarmasını istedi. Sadece ticari meselelerle ilgilenmesi emredilen bir konsolos olduğu halde ve diplomasiyle ilgili özel bir eğitimi olmamasına rağmen Yeames, Ponsonbynin oldukça faydalı bulacağı raporlar gönderdi. Bu çalışmada, Yeamesin 10 Şubat 1839 tarihli kapsamlı ve ayrıntılı raporu tanıtılmış ve transkripsiyonu sunulmuştur.
