By accounts from Illmbay it appears that those
f..rmidable religionists theWahabees, of whom so little
known in Europe, continue to extend their power
and their principles. They lately fought a severe
battle with the Arabs of Muscat and some Persian
mops, who had been sent to the assistance of the
imauni. In this battle the Wahabees are said to have
greatly outnumbered their antagonists, their force
amounting to 15,000 men ; while that of the Arabs
and Persians united did not exceed 4000 men. Of
this small army, between 2 and 3000 were put to the
sword ; and the victory, as might be expected, re.
'mined with the Wahabees.
