Agent in Tunrktish Arabia and Consul-General at Bagh-

James Outram: K.C.8., and merits the unqualified
approbation and hearty thanks of the Governor-General
in Council, no less than does the gallantry of Captain
Hunt, her Majesty's 78th Highlanders, and of the other
Military* Officers who accompanied the expedition in
queAior.
The Indian Navy has taken a conspicuous part in
the operations which have been now brought to a ter-
mination, and the Gonernor-General in Council must
not omit to put on record the high sense which he
entertains of its moat valuable and important ser flees.
To Rear-Admiral Sir A. Leeke, K.II , Royal Navy,
the Governor-General in Council begs again to offer his
sincere acknowledgments for the promptitude and energy
with which he gave his assistance in landing the troops
at Halide Bay, and in attacking the fortifications of Bu-
shire. To Captain Griffith Jenkins, Captain of the fleet,
to Acting Commander Adam, of the Assaye, and Lieu-
tenant C;arksnn, of the same vessel, to Captain Young,
Commanders Rennie and Macdonald, and Acting Coon-
mauler Foulerton, much praise is due for their gallantry
en the same occasion.
The Governor-General in Ceuocil, however, desires
specially to record his admiration both of the skill and
energy displayed by Acting Commodore Young, I.N.
(upon whom the command of the Gulf Squadron de-
volved on the lamented death of Comrnedore Ethersey),
in the conduct of the difficult naval operations against
Mohanirele and of the signal success with which they
were crowned.
The Govornor-General in Council has further re-
marked, with the highest gratification, the distin-
guished conduct of Commander J. Rennie, who, since
the departure of Captain Young, has most efficiently
commanded the naval forces in the Persian Gulf. In
the enterprising advance upon Ahwaz, the signal suc-
cess obtained was due, in a very large measure, to
the judgment and resolute gallantry of this able
officer.
The acknowledgments of the Government are
also due to Commander Selby, of the Semiramis ;
Commander Grieve, of the Clive ; Acting Com-
mander Manners of the Victoria ; and to Lieu-
tenants Commanding Tronson, of the Falkland ;
and Wonky, of the Ajdaba, who contributed
largely to the success of the day • and the special
thanks of the Government are claimed for Com-
mander Adams, for the efficient manner in which he se-
conded the attack on the Northern Forts at Mohamreh.
Acting-CoromodoreYoung has commended the conduct
of Lieut. Chitty, commanding the Berenice ; of Comman-
der Nisbett, agent for transports ; and of Acting-Masters
Commanding Meleaurin, of the Napier; Hal'and, Comet;
Fletcher, of the Planet ; Neale, of the Assyria ; Davies,
of the Ethersey flat ; and Mr. Dark, of the Hugh Lind-
sey, for the effective aid which they respectively ren-
dered in the attack on Mohamreh ; and the Governor-
General in Council has great pleasure in acknowledging
their good services.
Finally, the Governor-General in Council wishes to
offer his hearty thanks to all the officers and non-com-
missioned officers, of whatever designation, and to all
the soldiers and sailors of the force, for the bravery, the
endurance, and good conduct which they have displayed
during the several operations in which they have been
engaged.
It will afford the highest gratification to the Gover-
nor-General in Council to recommend the arduous and
successful services of the military and naval forces on
the coasts, and in the interior of Persia, to the mos`
favourable consideration of the Honourable Court o
Directors and her Majesty's Government.
G. F. EDMONDSTONE,
Secretary to the Government of India.
