On the 297 h the small bands appeared again, as osnal,
who murdered sine!. Greeks without resistance. Oa the
30th the se. nes of the 27th were renewed, and the Govern.
ment sheeted more indifference than on th et day, not the
slightest noessuet being taken to preserve order. Yesterday
the city was again more q•tie,. The supineness of the Go-
vernment is inexcusable; foe these hands are as cowardly
as blood-thi.ply : the slightest restaia.ece terrifies them—the
smallest dviachment of troops is sufficient to diaper.. them.
Of peddle affairs nothing has yet been known : the nego-
eiations between the Reis Effendi snit the Foreign Ministers
continue. The French and English appear to set in con-
cert : an do the Prussians and the Austrian.. The Spanish
Minister, on Site other hand, the advocate or the Gieck., acts
nearly alone, or at least supported only by the Ministers of
some inferior Powers, for -hoot the Porte has but little re-
aped. The Netherlands have joined France and Fngland.
It is said that some points had been agreed upon, when lir
French English party suddenly started some difficulties, and
the seguciution had to begin afresh. Between Ali Packs

have received orders to pursue the Greek bands without in-
Omission, and wholly to extirpate them. The Pachas, on
their side, have asked for reinforcements, which the Divan
immediately granted. An insurrection among the Srrvians

SIIIL—i have prat pleasure of reporting to your Excel;
(envy that the division which the Goverummit did me
the honour to place under my orders for service against the
tribe of Beni 800 Ali, briviiig ariised before his capital
yestrid my morning, succeeded in repulsing a very spirord
mesa of the enemy, and in gaining complete possevsion of
his whole fortified position before sun-set in the evening.
The principal action fell on tire right brigade, under Lien•
tenant-C-lonal Warren, of bin Majesty's Ofitti regiment, with
4.4) rank and file of stint regiment, and about 300 of
Lt-lib N dive Infantry, which has, lam sorry to say, sus-
I•ined a vary henry 11§10.

The cuemy left upwards of 200 men killed in the field,
and reckoning those they carried, and thine who the
subsequent attack of the citadel, I cannot calculate his total
hop. at Ins than 100 killed and wounded.
There are atsu 236 prune►rs nhu here arm•, of whom 96
are wounded, and the f.niiiies annum to upwards of 1,000
individuals; su I trust 1 can assure your Excelleuey, the
tribe is effectually put down.
The two twiocipal Chiefs of the tribe are also prisoner.,
both badly wounded, one in the attack as our camp at Zorn.,
ow the 10th ultimo, and the tither in the action of yesterday.
The enemy 'viand the most determined gallantry, but he
received such a destructive fire it was impossible he could
mantain bis attack long: I calculate the number be brought
ia•o action at abuut 1,000 113C11.
All the gun which he gained panto...too of from Captain
Thenspeoit's detachment are recovered, and in good order.
I beg to enclose your Escrlleucy a list of the killed and
wounded; and a plan of the fort mad marinas of 800 Alt,
abewiug the whole operations of the day, which woe oust
laborious.
I also enclose • copy of the orders issued to the divition,
whine conduct I cannot sufficiently praise to your Excvlleury.

■rcount of the amecessfol result of our operations in the
Persian Gulf, a detail of the egnally successful issue of the

to obtain reparation and satisraetion for the gross
ties offered to the British represeetative at Mucha.
Caplets' Bruce, who had been appointed the agent of the
Bombay Government in the conduct or the political branch,
arrived at Nloeha on the 3d of October. Receiving nu Mirth-
grime of bis Majesty's ships Eden and Corte+, originally
appointed to the service, that officer determined on com-
mencing on the duty ietrnsted tu him. He opened, through the
medium of his mounsitee, a communication with the MAO,
who answered by admitting the great offence committed by
Hake Futteh, his predece►sor, who was in charge of a small
government, three days march from Moths. and the justness
of our expectations for the fullest satisfaction ; sad he stat-
ed, that the Imams of Srnaa would not forego the friend-
ship of the British Government, by not conceding it in the
completest in .
Captain Bruce was visited by the C immandieg Offset of
the troops, sod every mark of respect was *hewn to him ;
but he refused the most pressing levitation to repair on
shore, until the insult that had been offered to the Rational
character bad been stoned fur. He addressed a letter to the
Imam of Senna, and communicated to the local authorities
his imbues. to allow of the fullest time fur a reply, but
that they might rest assured he would nut leave the roads
without obtaining the objects prescribed In his iustruetiims,
if nut by bit, by coercive means.
It was not until the 3d of December that his Majesty's
ship Topic auchored is the roads. Donne the ieterme-
done period Capt. Brace had anxiously endravuored to ad-
just our demands amicably, but the equivocating conduct of
t►e Government obliged him to declare all negueiations and
relations of amity to have terminated.

Captain Lumley, on being informed of Captain Rrare's
onsucceasful recisions, instantly made erratigemesilli for
bombarding the town and forte. On the morning of the
4th the action commenced, and war kept up without later-
mission Gire limns, when a flag of truce having been *cot
off, two hours were allowed fur determining on our de-
mands. No wormer having been reiern►d, the bombard-
meat recommenced the boats of the sipsadron were Si the
same time mauned and armed, under the command of Lieut.
W. Moriarty, of the Tupaze, for the purpose of occupying
the North fort, spikiug the goes, and blowing it sp. The
heats rowed to the titter* under a heavy and destructive
lire: after a gallant effort to obtain the object of their en-
terprise, we were compelled to retreat, the gateway haying
been barricaded. • Our loss oil Ibis occasion was most severe,
all the Ofrirrin being killed or wounded. Among the for-
mer, we lamest to number Lient. B. G. Atkinson, of she
Royal Marines; Mr. C. P. Gill, master's-mate; and Messrs.
Dorsett and Seymour, midshipmen. Among the latter
Lieut.. Moriarty and Wright; Mr. Martin, the boatswain;
Messrs. Wait! and Stephens, midshipmen ; Ilse Boatswain's
Mate, the Coxswain, a Quartermaster, and ten seamen of the
T••ptse. Four seamen of the Company's cruiser wets

The daring character of this ^Stark produced a salutary
effect in appalling the enemy. The mirth fin was silcuced,
and, et nine o'clock, the 111011 pueereded in firing the
Dorthera part of the tower, which continued to rage until

accede to any terms, provided se world craw• finter. Two
oerpectable hostages having htVII delivered, a truce was
granted for fourteen day.. The hostages ari re rer.i•ed by
Capt. Bruce, and the kindness they experi►nced impressed
them equally wish gratitude a.d attouisloneut at oar gene-
rosity and nsoderation.
The truce was extended for fire d.r longer; the.. h i
