Sarawak, Aug. 5.] This being the morning fixed for the departure of our small expedition against the Sekarrans, the _Phlegethon_ weighed at eight and proceeded down the river to await the collection of force. Among those who accompanied us was the Pangeran Budrudeen, the intelligent brother of the Rajah already noticed. This was an unusual event in the Royal Family, and the departure from the Rajah’s wharf was imposing. The barge of state was decked with banners and canopies. All the chiefs attended, with the Arab priest Mudlana at their head, and the barge pushed off amid the firing of cannon and a general shout to invoke the blessing of Mahomet.
