Previous to the departure of the army from Rasul
Khyma, the Francis Warden, Capt. J. STUTELY, was
sent to Muscat with redeemed Arabs to their Chief,
the Sultan of Muscat. Three British officers, fine,'
intelligent, dashing young fellows of his Majesty's
65th Regiment, Captains PLACE, LEECII, and Nloone,,'
went to the Court of the Sultan on this occasion.—
Capt. STUTELY gives a most favourable account of
the manner of their reception by the Sultan, of whose
good faith to the British he appears confident; these
officers saw at Muscat, the Sultan's fleet and his nu-
merous army ; the former Captain STUTELY repre-‘
seats as excellent, and the latter as good and well
appointed forces as he ever saw.
