of Khurasan and formerly o£ Fars ; was sent with troops to restore order
in the south j but he failed to do so, at least at Yazd. Simultaneously
the provinces of Kirmanshah and Hamadan were entrusted to ^Abbas
Mirza in addition to that of Azarbaijan, which he already held. The
chiefs of Khurasan had revolted in the meanwhile ; and in August 1828
Mashhad was seized by a leader of local influence, nor could it immediately
be recovered.
In 1830, in which year the Shah paid a personal visit to Isfahan, 1830-33.
Khurasan was added to the already unwieldy charge of the Crown
Prince; but he was ordered to settle the affairs of the south before
entering on those of the north-eastern province. ^Abbas Mirza was
successful not only in reducing Yazd, but also in capturing the chief of
the malcontents there, who was afterwards done to death by Muhammad
Vali Mirza at Tehran ; and the people of Kirman, whence Hasan ^Ali Mirza
was sent back to the presence of the Shah under an escort, received 'Abbas
Mirza with open arms. Arriving in Khurasan, the frontiers of which he
ill had been directed by his father to extend to the Oxus,—the true boundary
of Persia, as laid down in the time of Nadir Shah,—he adopted measures
against the roving tribes of the neighbourhood; and he even captured
with great slaughter the Turkman town of Sarakhs, which depended to
a large extent on a traffic in Persian slaves. He next prepared to attack
Herat and its districts, upon his eastern border ; but at this point he was
recalled by his father to Tehran, and his place on the north-eastern
frontier was taken by his son Muhammad Mirza. The Crown Prince's
health was now failing, but the Shah could not persuade him to remain
at Tehran, and he soon left again for Mashhad, where he died in 1833, in
^he forty-sixth year of his age. Muhammad Mirza was then
summoned to Tehran, designated heir to the thronej and appointed
governor of Azarbaijan.
Meanwhile Hasan 'Ali Mirza, who had once more become ruler of
Pais under the title of Farman-Farma, began to withhold the revenue of
his province; and in the autumn of 1834 the Shah, whose ruling passion
was avarice, and who had lately suffered in pocket through the capture of
some royal treasure by Bakhtiyari robbers between Isfahan and Tehran,
set off for the south to investigate the matter himself. He arrived safely
at Isfahan, where Hasan 'Ali Mirza shortly appeared, but the latter
rought only 13,000 Tumans out of 600 ,000 for which he was account-
a e, and his father accordingly superseded him in his government and
■-ent a minister with troops to recover the balance due from the province,
few days later the Shah was attacked by fever ; and on the 23rd of
1834;
