The following Extraos, and part icnlerly tI4 Cor-
respondence trona, the lionikay Couriv of Feb. Gth,
affoids so striking an in Lance of the uriaminity
which:pievails between the. Military and Naval Ser-
vices employed in the Expedition to the Persian
Gulph, that we are sure it will give the higher( sa-
tisfaction to out Countrymen itt general-. • We have
already given an account of the Expedition

From Rhus-ul Khyma they proceeded to Linga,
on the Persian. coast, Where they destroyed twenty
dowsand-boats without sustaining any loss. From
this place the Expedition sailed to the port of Luft;-
situated on the norili side of the Isle of Khisma,
where they arrived on the '26th of November. In
the afternoon of that day iNilool,a Hussein, the Chief
of the place, sent on hoird his. Majesty's ship Chit.
tonne, for the purpose of treating for the surrender
of the dows and boats, which lie agreed to do ; but
when the. (appointed 'time armed, he refused, to
give them up.
Arrangements were accordingly made for the
exercise of compulsory means. The do‘Ns and boots
were ranged under cover at a small stone tort at the
western extremity of the town.
In the afternoon of the 27th three hundred men
comisting of the light company of the 47th, halt a
company of the 65h, with the Royal Atirines,
longing. ,to the Chnlontle, under the command of
Lieutenant Drury, and the, detachment of the 2d
Native Infantry, assisted by a party of ,t,eamen under
Lieutenant Cr,chton, of the Chidonne, who were
employed in bringing up a howitzer, were landed,
and having.taken posssiion of the town, proceeded
to the attach-ot the fort, and the destruttiOn of the
down and boats,. while the Fury, which drew little
water, and the gun-boats were employed in keeping
up a smart tire on the fort.

The dows and boatx, eleven in number among
which were three very large dows, were completely
destroyed. The fork made an obstinate resistance ;
but wax at,last delived up by Moula Hoossein, to-
gether with all the property when he had plundered
from the Itnaum.

Ii was taken possession of by a detachment of his
Maje.sty's 47th rs-pzri.ment, and was the next day de-
livered up to Sheik ,L):rvish, the head.of a trine of
Benintain Arabs, attached to the Imautn of INlticat,
in trust for the ;atter.

Moola flu,sein was allot. ed fo depart in safety.
The enemy had between seventy and eighty kiled
and wounded.

While the. armament was lying ,at Muscat, on

the Imaum paid a visit co his H. M. ship Chit Oi,i e,
and wits entertained 'with. fruits, sweetmeats, and.
Sherbet; the juice of the grape being excluded
in deference to his religions prejudices: The ship•
was dressed on the -occasion with the Colours of_
different Nations, and delighted• his Highness by
her beautiful appearance. Captain Wainwright pre-
seated him with a picture-of Lord Nelson, which
he graciously accepted. After having been 'grail- .
lied with the attention shewn to him on board H.,
M. ship, he went on shore to a small bay, where
Lieutenant-Colonel Smith bad prepared a mortar

greatly excited his'astonisliment. •
