him to act offecsively against the former ; we have much satisfaction in inform
ing you that during the late dispute between this Government and the Chaub
Shaik, the Chaub Shaik gave very acceptable proofs of his friendship towards
the English Nation, in permitting the Galiivat hired by the Resident for the
conveyance of Major MacDonald from Bussora to Muscat, to pass his Batteries
in the most honorable manner as on other occasions."

possessed of the Government by his rebellious subjects.
Sheikh Nassir has done, and is still doing every thing in his power to

Meer Ali Khan not being in a situation at present to resist, and being in a very
weak state of health, the consequence of a terrible wound received some time

act in person in the field) has been necessitated to deliver up Bundereeg at the
requisition of the Sheikh, and to return to his ancient government of Genowa.
Meer Gunnossfthe former Governor of Bundereeg who was deprived of the
Government by Lutf Ali Khan has again been put in possession of it, in con

three hundred men from hence and Bundereeg, assisted by two or three armed
boats by sea. The Fort, which was constructed by the Dutch, being still very
strong, and the person in command being a man of courage, there seems no
great likelihood of its falling. Meer Ali Khan has been enabled to succour
the besieged in spite of the enemy, so that there are men sufficient to defend
the place against any attack of the besiegers wholly unskilled in the art of

upon Khisht, defended by a small Fort, and governed by Leal Khan. The place
