a loss of life quite disproportionate to the magnitude of
the means of resistance at the disposal of the com
mander of the Persian Forces.
I desire to express to you my perfect satisfaction at
the very complete and skilful manner in which the expe
dition was arranged and conducted, and at the cordial
co-operation between the naval and military services;
and I beg that you will offer to Commodore Young, and
the officers and seamen under his orders, the expression
of my admiration at the gallant and excellent service
performed by the squadron under his command.
The precipitate flight of the enemy and the aban
donment of their entrenched position and camp, leaving
guns, ammunition, camp equipage, and public and pri
vate property, without an effort at resistance, after the
troops were landed, speaks strongly against the proba-
bilitv of any future opposition in that quarter; and I am
in great hopes that the report of your signal success at
Mohumrah will hasten the Shah of Persia to ratify the
" Treaty of Peace " which was signed by his ambassador
at Paris on the 3rd ultimo.
You will be pleased to make known to Brigadier-
General Havelock, C.B., to Brigadier-General Lugard,
C.B., to the officers of your personal and head-quarter
staff, to the brigadiers and officers commanding regi
ments and detachments, and to the officers and soldiers
under their command, my warm acknowledgments for
their conduct on this occasion.
I shall be happy to bring to the notice of Govern
ment the eminent services of Brigadiers-General Have
lock, C.B., and Lugard, C.B., together with the names
of such of the officers of your staff, personal and depart
mental, whom you may desire to particularize.
II. Somerset, Lieut,-Gen.,
Commander-in- Chief.
