about ten days after the last of the infantry have
sailed.
I myself leave in the Semiramis on Thursday, the
15th instant, touching at Kurrachee to communicate
with General Jacob, and I expect to reach Bushire
about a week or ten davs before the first of the rein-
for cements.
During this interval, I shall have thoroughly ac
quainted myself with the relative advantages of the
proposed advanced posts of Khisht and Shuster,
whether as regards sanitary considerations, or the facili
ties afforded by either route for future operations in the
interior—in order that, should it not be found prudent
to occupy both, in consequence of a more formidable
opposition being prepared than our previous information
had led us to anticipate, I may be enabled to decide
which to choose; for should the power of the enemy
be such in either quarter as must cause a battle to be
fought ere the desired position is attained, it may be
necessary to hold such post in greater strength than
w T ould admit of such division of the forces as I had
contemplated in the event of meeting the slight or no
opposition which was expected on first establishing
ourselves.
Should the enemy really be mustering in advance
of Bushire in such force as General Stalker is led to
believe, it is next to certain their object is to oppose
our advance on Shiraz ; for they would hardly have the
temerity to attack our entrenched position, in front of
Bushire. In that case, the passes below Khist would
afford positions so naturally strong, and which they
would not fail to improve by art, that we may be
exposed to severe loss ere we make our footing sure at
Khist. And then it might require our whole means,
thus weakened by battle, to maintain our position there;
