No. 108 of 1838
Political Department
To
I. P. Willoughby Esqre.
Secretary to the Government
Bombay
Sir
With reference to my letter No.. 104 in this Department
under date the 11th Instant, I have now the honor to forward for
the information of the Honblc. the Governor in Council, the
accompanying copy of a letter from the Senior Officer of the

Indian Navy in Bushire Roads, enclosing the report of the Com­
mander of the H.C. Brig of War Tigris of his visit to Bahrein.

2. The unsuccessful result of this attempt to reopen
negotiations of peace*between the Uttoobee, and the Al-i-Ally
Tribes, is hardly otherwise than I had anticipated, and war I
fear is inevitable. Esa ben Tareef I am informed has proceeded
to Muscat most probably with the view of procuring assistance
from the Government of that place in the shape of money, arms,
and ammunition.

3. As Sheik Abdoollah ben Ahmed in his reply, declining
my offer to despatch the H.C. Brig of War Tigris with his Wuzeer
to Aboothabee, does not allude to the subject of the restrictive
limits, it is not my intention for the present to suspend the
instructions issued to Commodore Brucks regarding their
maintenance.
