him for the loss of his British appoi^ment. The terms of this ultima
tum were not accepted and the situation was in the meantime aggra
vated by a series of insults directed against the British officials and
employ^ remaining in Persia.
On the 17th October 1856 Farrukh Khan, the Persian Ambassador,
arrived at Constantinople with full power to settle all the matters in
dispute between Britain and Persia; fresh discussions ensued; and on the
132nd November a modified ultimatum was delivered to Farrukh Khan bj
Lord Stratford de Uedcliffe. In this revised document the question of
Herat, which was now critical, held the principal place; it was laid down
that the Persian Army must be withdrawn from Herat and compensa
tion paid for such damage as it had done; that Persia must bv treaty
renounce for the future all interference, whether external or internal, in
the affairs of Herat, and the other provinces of Afghanistan, and must
agree to refer to British mediation such differences as she might have with
their rulers; that a new Commercial Treaty between Britain and Persia
must be concluded, giving Britain the right to appoint Consuls in any
part of Persia • that all debts due to British subjects must be liquidated
and disputed claims discussed and settled; that an arrangement must be
made in regard to the lease of Bandar ^ Abbas which would be agreeable
to tbe Sultan of ; Oman; and that the Sadr A^zam, in consequence of the
part played by him in the differences that had ariseu, must be removed
from office. The conditions regarding the return to Tehran and recep
tion there of the British Mission were maintained, except in so far as the
ceremonies required would be affected by the dismissal of the Sadr
A'zam. Hesitation was expressed by the Persian Plenipotentiary in
regard to acceptance of some of the terms, especially that requiring the
dimissal of the Prime Minister; and the arrival of authentic information
of the fall of Herat did not, it is probable, increase his disposition to
concede any point. Meanwhile on the 1st November 1856 in consequence
of previous instructions sent from Europe, the Government of India had
declared war on Persia; and towards the end of December, on receiving
news of this event, Farrukh Khan broke off the negotiations, declared
such engagements as he had already formed to be null and void, and
quitted Constantinople.
We now proceed to give an account of the Anglo-Persian war in its War between
