of escorting the Kaffilla to Bussorah, and having there
broken up, there is no hindrance to individuals crossing
over to seek our service as mere mercenary adventurers,
which Captain Kemball thinks they will do. I shall be
careful, however, that every precaution is adopted, on
entertaining such persons, to avoid any proceeding which
might tend in any way to compromise the Porte.
I have, as your Lordship will have observed in mv
letter to Lord Clarendon, dated 22nd ultimo, already
apprised the Cabinet that I consider myself fully war
ranted in accepting the services of the Chaab Arabs,
now that they virtually are our conquered subjects for
the time being. And from the friendly spirit they have
displayed, I have little doubt I shall obtain valuable aid
from these tribes, but in what shape I have not yet
decided. Their principal chief is coming to-morrow,
having already tendered his submission through his
deputy, and several of the inferior chiefs have done so
in person. 1 hese tribes entirely deserted the enemy on
his retreat, and availed themselves of the opportunity
afforded by the contusion which prevailed during their
flight the first night, to plunder all Persian stragglers of
the little property they had been able to carry with
them.
We have as yet no positive information where the
Persian army now is, but it is supposed to have con
tinued its disordered flight to Ahwaz, where there may
be some stores; but scanty they must be, for we hear
that almost everything had been brought here; and
certainly the vast quantity of ordnance stores and com
missariat supplies which have fallen into our hands,
besides what was destroyed by the enemy, would lead
10 the supposition that every depot in Kuzzistan was
drained to supply the magazines at Mohumra.
