likely to turn the tribes, on whose friendly aid we relied,
against us (see what Mr. Murray says in the enclosed letter
I received from him, from Bussorah, two days ago) and
as rendering almost impossible our purposed advance to
Sinister, or even the supply of carriage cattle to this army
in time to operate against the enemy in our front, before
the hot weather has set in, when the movement of our
Europeans will be attended with serious difficulty and
loss, from the effects of the climate alone.
Our expectations of a favourable change in the
weather when I last wrote (on the 26th) were sadly
disappointed, for next day the north-westers recom
menced as bad as over, and only ceased last night. Our
only hope is, that our missing transports may have thus
been wind-bound within the gulf, and are now perhaps,
close at hand.
Having no steamer to send, and indeed, if we had,
our scanty coal being now scarcely sufficient to take
us to Mohumra, we could not afford to send one, I am
obliged to entrust this packet to the British Flag.
But they say she is a good sailer, and is sure to have
favourable winds, so I will hope you may receive this in
tolerable time.
I hope my packets by the Precursor, dispatched on
the 16th, and by the Punjauh on the 26th May, have
reached your Lordship.
I am, &c., &c.
J. OuTRAM.
(Enclosure to the above Letter.)
Intelligence from 27th February to 3rd March. Further demands
have been made for reinforcements on the Dushteee and Fimgistanee
tribes.
Prince Tahmash (of Shiraz) is still at Naneezuk, but on the arrival
ot the Sirkeesheekchee Bashee, the former is to make over all his
troops and return to Shiraz.
Sirkeesheekchee Bashee has arrived at Ferashbund, with his troops
