Iliza Quli Mirza ; and he asked the Eesident to meet the wishes of the
ilyj new Governor in all respects,,—a request to which that officer returned a
ikitj arc [ed but courteous reply. The popular party had made it a condition
of Timur Mirza's appointment that he should not remain long at Bushehr
himself; nor bring many attendants with him ; and on the 29th of June,
after a short stay, he took his departure. Two persons of rank were

and Nasr Ullah Mirza appeared before the town with a large force;
and the party inside, their overtures for a settlement having been rejected,
prepared to leave by sea. A few of them kept up a show of resistance
upon the walls so long as daylight lasted ; and the royalist forces, on
