f on) Muscat, by ;i small Arab vessel, which has r-
rived 'that port at. BocabAy, inform us of a con-
' siderable vitiory which had been obtained by the
troops of the Itnaum of Muscat, aided. by a small
body t,f Persians, over the Wahabees. It appears
that the latter had; approached close up to the town
of, Muscat, and harlattateketl, plundered, and burnt
Matra and Arb,,k,, two villages in that vicinity,
massitcreing the inhabitants without mercy. A
tevi_days atterwards, the Waliabee horde- were at-
tacked in their turn, near Burka, a place about
one day's journey to the northward of Muscat, by a
party of Imaum's forces, with a bodvtiuxiliary
horse from Persia, 'the hitter consisting of only 200
sleet). The Wahribees were completely routed ;
Alahommed Binasslr, their Commander, and the
son of the present Chieftain of the Wahabee na.
Lion, was among the Slain ; 700 of his soldiers
were left dead on the field ; and the heads of 60
officers 'were brought in triumph to Muscat, for
each of which the linaum had awarded a sum' of
20 dollars to the siotors. Seven hundred camels
belovng to the enemy had' also fallen into the pos-
session of the Imaum's people. The Wahabee, it
appears, had abandoned the villages above-men.
oohed two days after they entered them. The
!maim of Muscat, at the date referred to in these
accounts, had proceeded to Lung, on the Persian
coast, for the purpose of collecting additional
t roops.

NAY G.—A gentleman who, not long ago, was
. . a Captain in the Company's service on this &dab-.
lishment, has been cominitied on a charge of indr-
der, by the Magistrates of 13qtares, under Cir-
cumstances of rather a.singalar descript ion. The gen-
Aleinno to whom we allude,who had,been permitted
to resign the Company's service, had been sent
under restraint to Calcutta,, and direded to proceed
hi England on board one.ol the Indiameh, whiCh
',aged from' hence in November last. During his
stay at the Presidency,' however, a writ was served
op him for debt—he was sent to jilt ; but pre-
. sently effected an anangement with hi; creditor, and
otrained a release, belore measures could he
adopted on the part of Government to renew his
arrest. file immediately di4appeared—and 'torn that
