1t is believed that Persia has submitted
to the demands of the British, but the in
telligence was received with doubt. The
London News says that Lord Stanford

The ship Aasaye, on coming abreast o.
Fort Bushire, shelled it from a distance o.
LOO yards, and dislodged the garrison
500 of whom took a new position to op-

British thereupon marched on the enemy,
who fought sharply with the bayonet until
driven back upon the fort whence they
attempted to escape, but were met by the
British rifles, seaward, and by the cavalry
landward.
The British loss is reported to be S5

Bushire was then summoned to surren-

replied steadily for four hours, and then sur
rendered, when the British entered the
town.
The British report no loss in the fleet.
The Governor, Commander of the fleet

garrison being too numerous to retain,
were escorted into the interior, and then
liberated.
Bushirc was proclaimed British territory
and free port.
