was eventually ordered to Herat, where he arrived in December 1857, was
W eii received bv Sultan Ahmad Khan, the new ruler, and remained till
the following March, returning to Bushehr on his way to India at the
beginning of June 1858.
Meanwhile Mr. Murray had returned to Tehran on the 18th July
1857 ; and, all the requirements of the Treaty in regard to his reception
having been honourably executed, preparations were made for the evacu
ation by the British troops of Bushehr and Kharag.
On the 2nd October 1857 Bushehr was evacuated by the British
troops and Commander Felix Jones resumed his duties as Resident there;
but a garrison, including the SSrd Native Light Infantry, was temporari
ly left, under the command of Brigadier Honner, upon Kharag Island.
Meanwhile the Persians continued to occupy Lash-Juwain in Sistan,
Eventually, beginning in December 1857, the British garrison on Kharag
was also withdrawn, the process being finally completed on the 4th
February 1858.
After the war the relations of Britain and Persia resumed an ami
cable course ; but for a number of years, apart from telegraph operations
to be mentioned presently, apathy was the principal characteristic of
British policy in regard to Persian affairs. After the serious military
reverse which they sustained in Turkistan in 1860, the Persian Govern^
raent once more sought to obtain British officers for the Persian army ;
but their proposals were coldly received by the British Government, and
the negotiations ultimately^ broke down on a question of the proportion
in which the cost of the arrangements should be divided between Persia
and India.
The Persian request for British military officers was renewed in 1870,
when it was again ignored ; and thereafter the guidance of Persia in
military affairs passed into the hand of foreigners of other nations.
The construction of lines of telegraph in and across Persia between
1861 and 1870, on British advice and by British
