standing between the two powers having for its object the maintenance
of the integrity and independence of Persia^ even, came into existence
in 1834 and was renewed in 1838 ; but it did not ; either then or later,
assume the shape of a formal agreement.
The funds which Muhammad Mirza required for overthrowing two
rival competitors,—namely, his uncle ^Ali Mirza, known as the Zilks-
Sultan, and his uncle Hasan ''Ali Mirza, Governor-General of Fars, known
as the Farman-Farma,—were supplied by the British Minister at Tehran,
Sir J. Campbell, in anticipation of the sanction of Government; and the
rapid success of the royal troops was mainly due to the leadership of
British officers in the Persian service. Colonel^" Lindsay-Bethune, who
commanded the forces of Muhammad Mirza in the ensuing operations,
left Tabriz for Tehran on the 10th November 1834; at Qazvinwheret
Maniichehr Khan, a Muhammadanised Georgian or Armenian, wlio after

with a tribal force, all that remained of the Zill-us-Sultanas army sur
rendered; and on the 2nd January 1835 Muhammad Shah entered the
Persian capital in State. In February 1835 Colonel Lindsay-Bethune
moved against the Governor of Fars and completely overthrew in the
field, between Isfahan and Shiraz, his numerous army commanded by his
brother, the Shuja^-us-Saltaneh : the royal force, though small, liad the
advantage in artillery. The Zill-us-Sultan, the Farman-Farma and the
Shuja/-us-Saltaneh, all of whom had been captured, were despatched as
prisoners to Ardabil, the Shuja-us-Saltaneh being first blinded; but the
Farman-Farma died on the way. The Farman-Farma^s sons Kiza Q^ 1
Mirza, Najaf Quli Mirza, and Timur Mirza, the names of two of whom
have been mentioned before in connection with Bushher affairs, naade
their way to England, where they spent a summer in English society
under the guidance of Mr. Baillie-Fraser, the traveller, and were received
by His Majesty King William. Their claims to Fars were not, a PP al

been granted them. At Constantinople, where they were found a ^
