° Owing to the practice before referred to of landing the whole or a portion of tbeir
Portion of part. i. live cargoes on the Batinah Coast, it is
Captain Kcmbali's despatch (o Mr. Secretary to estimate precisely the extent to which
MaUt.No.770fOctobera6.185a. traffic in slaves has been successfully pursued
by the vessels in question, or by those belonging to Soor, Moculla, and other places, but
here is every reason to believe that no diminution has taken place in the number 0
individuals imported as contrasted with the importation of the preceding year.

proceed to the subject of importations alleged to have been effected into t
ports on the River Euphrates during the season under notice.
