KOOT AL AMARA.

At live we were in the reach, where Jumbul, the
supposed bridge, is. The pilot tells me there is now
about five deraaa or ells of water over it. We have
had fine gentle sailing all the day, at the rate of
about five knots, with light north-west airs. At
seven we wound round into the Koot reach, 8. 45 E.,
and brought to at Koot al Ainara at eight. Since 1
was here last, a small mud fort has been built, and
a new village established about it, a little below the
old one. The present village is just opposite the
mouth of the Hye, which bears S. 70 W. from it,
distant the breadth of the river, which is here very
considerable, the reach opening out to the breadth
ol a mile. There are live companies of Agalee
Arabs quartered here, who are allowed a small toll
on each boat.

and a great number of Baratalis killed or wounded. The Turks
were actually not ashamed to return to Bagdad with this loss for
their pains. The Kiahya is personally a brave man, but what

posed of ? Last night the

himself ordered a party to be got
ready, and this morning he marched with the half of the Mame
lukes who had not gone out on the former calamitous expedition,
with three field-pieces, the whole corps of the Baratalis, and some
Agalee musketeers. The pretext is a hunting-party.

's expedition appears to have turned
out indeed only a hunting-party. He came back to-day. While
out, he sent me a couple of antelopes. I sent him seven mule-
loads of refreshments, among which were some European cakes,
such as Pane di Spagna, &c., with which he was much pleased.—
