already submitted to your Lordship that, in the absence
of any discretionary power, I could not deem myself
authorized to remove any portion of the force from the
position which it had occupied, more especially before
the ratification of the treaty agreed upon. That ratifi
cation is stipulated to transpire on or before the 4th of
June, and, should the signature of the Shah be given, the
only object for the continuance of the force will then be to
see the stipulations carried into effect. As regards Mo-
humra, that service can be adequately performed bv a
small naval squadron ; for the Persian army in Arabistan
is in too disorganized and wretched a condition to be
able to attempt any movement in this direction from
Shuster for a long time to come. I shall, indeed,
anxiously await the arrival of instructions authorizing
me to carry out such an intention, when once the treaty
is ratified, but if such powers are delayed, and an epi
demic should unfortunately break out among the troops,
I shall confidently rely upon your Lordship's after
approval, to the despatch of the Europeans, and a
portion of natives if necessary, to Kurrachee. Their
removal thither would at once place them in better
barracks and in a different climate, and they could be
despatched thence to India, or return to Bushire or
Mohumra, as the eventualities of the treaty might
render requisite. The transports being kept up during
the interval, these changes might be effected with a
very little additional cost to the State, and without
detriment to the position which it is desirable to main
tain with Persia, until the fulfilment of the treaty.
I have, &c.,
J. Outram, Lieutenant-General.
