the Persian Government to be involved, in disputes which took place over
the sovereignty of Bahrain. None of the matters thus raised were of real
importance to Persia, however; and it will be sufficient to refer, in this
place, to the accounts that are given of them in the histories of the 'Oman

Relations of Russia and Persia, 1838-1848.
The relations of Eussia with Persia during the remainder of Muham
mad Shah's reign presented no remarkable features, if we except the mea
sures which she took jointly with Britain, as already mentioned, in
securing an adjustment of dangerous questions pending between the
Persian Government and the Porte. About 1840, however, Eussia took
possession of the Persian island of Ashwadah in the Caspian, where
later she established a small naval base on pretext of restraining the
Turkoman raiders of the adjacent coasts. Her action in this quarter was
a natural corollary of the clause in the Treaty of Turkmanchai which ex
cluded the Persian war flag from the waters of the Caspian ; and the
good offices of Britain, though invoked by Persia, did not avail to secure
its reversal. In 1844 Eussia obtained a modification of the Treaty of
Turkmanchai, rendering it incumbent on Persian and Russian subjects to
. mil Fovide themselves with passports and the permission of their respective
Governments before crossing the common frontier.
