physical weakness of the new Shaikh did not prevent his taking an active
part in politics for the next twenty-five years.
Meanwhile Muhammad Nabi Khan^ who had been the Shah's Envoy
to India in 1805-07, had been intriguing to obtain the Bushehr govern
ment for himself; and it was at length conferred on him in consider
ation of a payment of 40,000 Tumans. The pretext for the removal of
Shaikh ; Abdur Rasul was his inability to discharge a debt of 28,000
Tumans, including interest, which he had incurred for the purpose of
meeting a demand formerly made on him by the
Prince-Governor
A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925).
of Fars:
the person, even, from whom he was to borrow the money required had
been indicated to him by the same authority. On the 26th October 1808

by him towards the recent Mission, headed by General Malcolm, from
the Government of India. Great alarm and confusion, however,
prevailed in the town and surrounding country; and numbers of villagers,
with all their property, took asylum at the British
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
. Pending
the arrival of Muhammad Nabi Khan the town was governed at first
by Muhammad Khan, the Shiraz emissary, and then by Muhammad
Ja'far a brother of Muhammad Nabi Khan; but so arbitrary was the
mood of the Shiraz authorities, as represented by their emissary, that
even Muhammad Ja'far himself was thrown into jail for a few days f or

Muhammad Nabi Khan, alarmed by the antipathy of the l oca
population to the change, which was looked upon as the end of Arab and
