PERSIA— NO. YI—1812.

The officers and serjeants, &c., at present in Persia, as well as those who may
hereafter arrive here, shall receive allowances according to the above rates, and
the senior or commanding officer, of whatever rank he may be, shall receive a further
gratuity of half the allowance annexed to his rank, in addition, during the period
of his command ; and if, God forbid, any of them should be negligent in their duty,
the matter being represented to the ambassador, such persons shall be dismissed
His Persian Majesty’s service.
Article 11.
Since it is the earnest wish of the two great sovereigns that this permanent
alliance shall continue in their posterity, the high contracting parties agree
that the respective heirs-apparent of each throne shall hold the Articles of this
Treaty sacred, and if either of the heirs-apparent shall require assistance of a nature
not specified in this Treaty, such shall be afforded according to the ability of the
party in the manner most beneficial to the interests of the States requiring such
assistance. The other assistance and subsidy, on the conditions and for the pur
poses explained in the above Articles of this Treaty, are of course to hold good with
the respective heirs-apparent, &c., &c.
Article 12.
The intention of this Treaty and the respective wishes of the High contracting
powers are to afford mutual assistance, and thereby strengthen, consolidate, and
extend their power and dominions for the purpose of defeating the aggressions of
their enemies. As the sincere desire of His Britannic Majesty particularly is to
strengthen and consolidate the Persian Government so as to prevent foreign nations
from invading Persia, and by his assistance to raise her political consequence and
to increase her territory, the English Government will not interfere in any quarrels
which may hereafter arise between the Princes, Noblemen, or great Chiefs of Persia,
until the King then reigning shall require their assistance ; and if one of the contend-
parties should offer a province of Persia with a view of obtaining assistance,
the English Government shall not agree to such a proposal, nor by accepting it
possess themselves of such part of Persia.
The Articles are thus auspiciously concluded.
This happy and fortunate Treaty, it is hoped, will for ever continue in force
and produce the fairest and most beneficial results.
We, the undersigned plenipotentiaries of the high contracting powers, having
concluded this auspicious Treaty in the true spirit of amity and sincerity in the
twelve foregoing Articles, have hereunto set our hands and seals, in the royal city
of Teheran, this fourteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and twelve, corresponding with the twenty-ninth of Safer-ol-Mazafer,
in the year of the Hegira one thousand two hundred and twenty-seven.
