against India in the following year. But the war" between Persia and
Russia forced the question of Georgia into prominence, and in that connec
tion the French Envoy was unable to afford the Shah any real satisfaction.
When General Godoviteh, in 1808, advanced to besiege Erivan, General
Gfardanne gave the Shah a guarantee that the Russians would not com
mence hostilities unprovoked, proceeded himself to the head-quarters of
the Crown Prince at Khoi, and despatched his assistant M. Lajarre to
remonstrate with the Russian Commander ; but these measures did not
avert the attack threatened by the Russians, and the credit of the
French at Tehran declined thereafter in a marked degree. When the
British mission under Sir Harford Jones, of which the function was
to counteract the proceedings of General Gardanne, arrived at Isfahan
at the beginning of February 1809 on its way to the capital, the
f'reaoh Envoy entered a protest against its reception ; but the reaction
of the Persian Government against French influence was now far
advanced, the French protest was disregarded, and after the middle of
March General Gardanne retired from Persia by way of Tabriz. His
assistant, M. Lajarre, lingered for a time at Tiflis • and M. Jouannin,
the Secretary of the Mission, clung pertinaciously to Tehran until Sir
H, Jones was able to procure his dismissal to Azarbaijan, whence, seeing
no advantage in remaining there, he proceeded to Constantinople.
General Gardanne's failure may have been due in part to the " precipitancy,
parsimony and hauteur " with which he is charged by his British opponent;
at the principal reason was, no doubt, the impracticability of the French
po icy in Persia, which, while it threatened to embroil the Shah with
e Govemment of India, afforded him no effectual protection against
tne encroachments of Russia. This did not however save General
ardanne, if a Persian narrative may be trusted, from the displeasure
o apo eon, on hie unexpected reappearance in Europe. Askar Khan,
