to France. A treaty founded on the treaty of 1809, but directed,
though general in its terms, against Russia rather than against France,
was concluded between Britain and Persia in 1814, the year after the
treaty of Gulistan between Persia and Russia. This treaty, which
bound Persia to assist in preventing a European attack upon India
and Britain to give active support to Persia in repelling an invasion
of her territory by a European power, underwent a serious modification
in 1828, whereby Britain was released from the last-mentioned condition,
with the consent of Persia, in consideration of a money payment. Finally
in 1834, on a change of sovereign taking place in Persia, Britain and
Russia agreed mutually to respect the independence and territorial inte

Makkah and Madinah; and portions, at least, of Yaman were under
their control. In the direction of Syria they had, it would seem,
made themselves masters of the oasis of Jauf-al-'Amir; and their armies

efforts for its reduction; but Hasa, Qatar and Bahrain had fallen
entirely under their sway and were formed in 1810 into a province of
the Wahhabi empire, governed by a Wahhabi official who was stationed
in Bahrain. The Wahhabis had recently strengthened their hold upon
the 'Oman Promontory by occupying, from their advanced base at
