Occurrences,
A piracy, committed on a Con goon boat in Hallilah Bay, is
traced to Hussoom of Fowarah, a dependency of Bahrein,
and the captured boat recovered.
The Shaikh of Bahrein refuses allegiance to the Wahabees,
and resolves to retaliate all attempts at aggression. The
Imaum pledges himself to him not to interfere in the
quarrel. Pie instigates the Amayir Tribe, who, leaving the
neighbourhood of Kateef, take up a position at Damaum,
and establish a very close blockade of the former port.

sons of Shaikh Abdoolla bin Ahmed, whom the father does
not exert himself to check. The appearance of a consi

and Ageer. The internal dissensions of Bahrein begin to
wear a serious aspect. The Chiefs of Huailah, dependents
of Shaikh Abdoolla bin Ahmed, conspire against his
authority, and enter into treasonable communications with
the Imaum and the Wahabee Chief. They are moreover
joined by one of his sons, who, securing the services of a body
of Wahabees, sets his authority at defiance, and commits
depredations on the trade of Bahrein. Capturing, also, some
neutral vessels, he is compelled to make reparation by the
British Resident, He proceeds to Muskat to solicit aid.
His Highness the Imaum not only refuses to take any part in
these civil broils, but sends his son Hullal, in one of his
