In conclusion, Captain Bruce was informed that the Gorernor in

terms, and—the more clearly to mark his disapproval of the whole

of Shiraz the Governor of Bombay wrote
expressing his regret at Captain B/uce^s error ; but at the same time lie
made the invalidity of the Agreement very plain in the following
words ;—
It is proper to explain clearly to Your Royal Highness that Captain Bruce had
been merely directed to return to his duty at Bushire, and had received no authority
to proceed to Sbiraz, and no powers or credentials to enter on any negotiation whatever
with Your Royal Highness; the treaty which he has concluded is, therefore,his
own act and not that of this Government. I accordingly disavow it, and desire it
to he considered exactly as if it had never been written.

by Lieuten^
ant John McLeod of the Bombay Engineers, an officer of much promise
who had been employed in the Gulf in various capacities during the
British operations there. In his first instructions, dated 12th November
1822, the new Resident was directed to do all that lay in his power to
efface from the minds of the Sultan of 'Oman and the Shaikh of Bahrain
the unfortunate impressions which Captain Bruce's Agreement had
probably produced, and to moderate the resentment which the Prince-
Governor of Shiraz might be expected to feel at its repudiation; but his
principal duty was to inaugurate a system of purely naval precautions
against piracy, which was now introduced in a manner and with results
which are described in the history of Tracial 'Oman, The ''permanent
local functions ;; of the Resident at Bushehr were defined as exclusively
commercial, and as consisting in the protection of British trade and
shipping and of British subjects engaged in either.
In the case of piracies committed by subjects of Persia inhabiting the
Persian Coast, the Resident was instracted in future, in consequence
the responsibility lately assumed by the Shah's Oovernment, to confine
himself in the first instance to representations to the Farman-
Farma of Fars, and, should these fail, to refer to the British Charge
