against the port of Ras-ool-Khyraa, for the purpose

Shaikh Sultan promising that if His Highness would restore him to his
hereditary possessions and consequence he would ever consider
himself as a vassal of the Imaum and his allies, and would never again,
or his tribe, commit piracies. The Imaum requested that Mr. Bruce,
who was at Muskat, would accompany him to witness the treaty which
he should enter into with Sultan bin Suggur, and for the purpose also
of negotiating a treaty with the Joasmee Chief on the part of the British
Government, which, as observed by the Imaum, would have more effect
in keeping him to the performance of his engagements than anything
else, as Sultan bin Suggur was now aware of our determination not to
allow the slightest insult to pass unnoticed.
42. As the renewal of the treaty entered into by the Joasmee Chief
with Captain Seton in 1806 was deemed essential for restraining the

transmitting that letter, Mr. Bruce remarked that the Joasmee Chief,
who was residing at Lingah, was much attached to the British Govern

in a letter from the Broker Often a local commercial agent in the Gulf who regularly performed duties of intelligence gathering and political representation. at Muskat, dated the /th of November,
stating that the King of Persia had sent an honorary dress for Sultan bin
Susreur, to obtain his co-operation with Persia in the reduction of
Bahrein.
45. In consequence of some depredations committed on the trade,
remonstrances were transmitted to the Chiefs of the W'ahabees and the
Joasmees, on the impropriety of their proceedings. A reply was re
turned from Hussein bin Rahmah, the Chief of Ras -ool-Khyma, stating
that he was not aware that any vessels bearing the British pass and colours
