agreed these Articles, which are to be regarded as preliminary, shall become a
basis for establishing a sincere and everlasting definitive Treaty of strict friendship
and union. And it is agreed that the said definitive Treaty, precisely expressing
the wishes and obligations of each party, shall be signed and sealed by the said
plenipotentiaries and afterwards become binding on both the high contracting
parties.
Article 2.
It is agreed that the preliminary Articles formed with the hand of truth and
sincerity shall not be changed or altered, but there shall arise from them a daily
increase of friendship, which shall last for ever between the tw’o most serene kings,
their heirs, successors, their subjects, dominions, provinces, and countries.

date of these preliminary Articles, every Treaty or agreement he may have made
with any one of the powers of Europe becomes null and void, and that he will not

power. But if, which God forbid, His Britannic Majesty’s efforts for this purpose
should fail of success, then the forces or subsidy, according to the amount mentioned
in the definitive Treaty, shall still continue in the service of the King of Persia as
long as the said European forces shall remain in the territories of His Persian
Majesty, or until peace is concluded between His Persian Majesty and the said
European power. And it is further agreed that in case the dominions of His
Britannic Majesty in India are attacked or invaded by the Afghans or any other
power, His Majesty the King of Persia shall afford a force for the protection of the
