remit, by way of conciliating the dwellers near the Gulf coast, a con
siderable part of the ordinary revenue of Dashtistan, —in other words to
reduce his financial demands upon the Government over which the Prince
presided. Sir H. Willock, with some difficulty, restrained the Persian
Government from * sending an agent of their own to Qishm to order the
British detachment away, and from deputing another to Bombay to
remonstrate with the Governor against the military occupation ; and the

Sultan of 'Oman, being a vassal of Persia, had no authority of himself to
permit foreign troops to land at ]VI asqat, still less on Qishm ; and that the
presence of a British garrison on Qishm was unnecessary, because the
Persian officials could and would do everything that was required to
prevent piracy. The note also interpreted the eleventh article of the
Anglo-Persian treaty of 1814 as prohibiting the entry of British ships of
