JOASMEES.

Occurrences.
The Joasmees seize the Bassein Snow, a British vessel,
charged with public despatches, but release her two days
after.
The Joasmees, after having by professions of friendship, &c.
procured ammunition from the Viper cruiser, treacherously
attack that vessel in Bushire Roads, but are beaten off.
Shaikh Suggur dying, is succeeded by his son, Sultan.
Wahabee influence and authority lead to the vigorous renew
al of piracy. The Joasmees capture two British vessels,
the Shannon and Trimmer, and a fleet of forty sail surround
and fire into the Mornington cruiser, but are compelled to
sheer off.
V Joasmee fleet is blockaded at Kishm by a combined British
and Muskat force, and is reduced to such distress as to
solicit a peace. The Trimmer was restored, the Shannon
having been previously given up, completely stripped.
An agreement is entered into between the British Govern
ment and the Joasmees, dated 6th February. It does not
appear to have been negotiated with the consent, or even
the knowledge, of the Wahabee Shaikh.
The Joasmees join Syud Beder, the Imaum, against Syud
Ghes, of Sohar.
Precluded by the Treaty of 1806 to carry on their cruises in
the Gulf, the Joasmees, urged and instigated by the Wa-
habees, extend them to India; and, rendered independent
of their lawful Shaikh, Sultan, by the Wahabee ruler, send
out their boats without his permission, and capture twenty
country craft on the coast to the northward of Bombay.
They commit a breach of the Treaty of 1806, and attack and
capture the Sylph cruiser in the Gulf. She is immediately
retaken by His Majesty's frigate Nereid, which heaves
in sight.
and
The Persians from Lar attack Lingah and Charrak,
compel the Joasmees to retire to Bassadore.
The Joasmees defeat a fleet of Bushire boats, destined for the
attack of Khor Hassan.
The Wahabee Chief appoints Hussein bin Ali, a Joasmee,
and Shaikh of Ramse, his vicegerent in the Seer princi
pality, vesting him with authority over Ras-ool-Khyma,
and nominates Wahabee officers throughout the Joasmee
