by the Persians. In 180^ a proposal by France for joint action by
herself and Persia against Russia, with whom Persia was now at war,
was still rejected by the Shah, although properly authenticated. The
reason for its rejection may have been a lingering hope of British
assistance, which he would have preferred, on the part of the Shab. In
1 ^05 Colonel Romieu visited Tehran on a regular mission from Napoleon •
and he was followed in the next year by M. Jaubert, who induced the
Persian monarch to send a high official, named Mirza Muhammad
Riza, to Europe to treat with Napoleon. The result of Mirza Muham
mad Riza^s mission was the treaty of Finkinstein, whereby, in May
1807, France and Persia became allies on equal terms against their
common enemy Russia; but in 1807-1808, the Persian Government
twice took measures to persuade the British Resident at Bushehr that
their close relations with France did not imply any unfriendliness
towards Britain.
Early in 1807 a rupture occurred between Britain and the Porte
in oonsequenoe of an intimacy which had sprung up between the
urkish and the French Governments, and in Europe Britain and Turkey
