settlement
with Mr.
Garden, 34th
April 1775.
Mr. Garden^ being informed of wliat had occurred at Basrah up to
the time of the British attack on the Ka'ab Grallivats^ very judiciously
decided not to proceed any further on the way to Basrah with his
cruiser and the three unarmed vessels that accompanied it, whereby lie
would have endangered property of the East India Company and of
private merchants to the amount of about 0,00,000, but rather to
avert the trouble which might otherwise spring from the rash proceedings
of the Agent and Council by concluding, with the least possible delay ; a
general settlement with Karim Khan. Accordingly, on the 11th of
April, he despatched a letter to Karim Khan, explaining his mission;
and Shaikh Sa^dun and the local Persian merchants did not hesitate to
assure him of a favourable answer,—" as the Khan has nothing more at
heart than the establishment of an 'English

An East India Company trading post.

<f and that he could think of no other means of effecting it than by the
a detention of Mr. Beaumont, not chusing to make any further overtures

Nassir, in a conversation he had with Mr. Beaumont the night before
" his departure, assured him that Mr. Moored obstinacy had been the
" cause of the present war, for, had the English colours been hoisted
" at Bushire, the present expedition would not have taken place. ;; On
the 15th of April, the fugitive Agent and his Council having arrived at
Bushehr with news of all that had occurred up to the 11th, Mr. Garden
wrote a second letter to Karim Khan, asking him to order his general
at Basrah to take all possible care of British property there ,* and at the
same time he addressed Shaikh Nasir of Bushehr, who was still with
the Persian forces, in a similar sense.
On the 24th of the month a satisfactory reply was received from the
Yakil, laying the blame for the disagreement between the British and
the Persians entirely on Mr. Moore, and promising the restoration of the
«Tyger " on her return from Basrah, against which she had been sent;
Messrs. Beaumont and Green were declared to be released; and on the
26th the Union Jack was hoisted once more over the British

Nasir, moreover, received with joy the news of Mr. Garden^ arrival at
Bushehr, protesting that his friendship for the British had not been
diminished even by the fracas in the Shatt-al-^Arab, and as the question
of the damage inflicted on the Ka ; ab fleet by the British cruisers P
Basrah never afterwards came into discussion, Mr. Garden's settlement
may fairly be regarded as complete and satisfactory. It ushered
