Not ion^ aftor the close of the first Russian war, Muhammad Vali
Mirza, who had treacherously murdered Is-haq Khan of Turbat/ tk
most influential chief of Khurasan, possibly under instructions from the
Shah, was recalled from Mashhad, where his place was taken for a time
by his brother Hasan ; Ali Mirza, formerly of Shiraz.
In 1817 the head of the Isma'ili sect, a progenitor of the present
Agha Khan of Bombay, who resided at Yazd^ was killed in a riot
between shop-keepers of the town and some of his own servants
Fat-h ^Ali Shah, who feared the vengeance of the Isma/ili sect ; was
careful to conciliate them by punishing one of the principal offenders and
by adopting a son of the deceased, on whom he conferred much property
in addition to that which he inherited. The actual murderers of the
sacred chief did not escape retribution at the hands of Isma^ilis.
Persia was visited in 18^1-182^ by a severe epidemic of cholera; it*
carried off the Shah^s eldest son, Muhammad 'Ali Mirza, who was tben

as a mark of sympathy.
i During the Russian war of 1826-1828 disorganisation spread feraj
