PRELIMINARY MATTER.
500 Khorasan infantry. This body had shut them
selves up in one of the neighbouring forts ; and Kuly
Khan found it impossible, from the strength of the
place, to get possession of it, otherwise than by
solemnly promising the garrison safety of property,
of life, and limb. This solemn promise having been
acted on, was communicated to Jaafer Khan, who
refused to ratify it. Vexed, and considering himself
disgraced by the refusal of his prince to ratify the
agreement he had made, Hajy Aly retired to Kaze-
roon, followed by his retainers and dependants.
The king soon perceived the mistake he had been
guilty of, and the danger of leaving this nobleman, in
his present discontented state of mind, at Kazeroon:
he therefore, partly by force, and partly by the em

once more to return to Shiraz, and to put himself
in his power. Shiraz, at the time of Hajy Kuly
Khan's return, contained also a prince of the Zend
family, powerful enough to excite the jealousy of his
sovereign : and, early in the year 1787, both of these
persons were arrested, and confined in the dungeons
of the citadel.
If, in the year 1788, Jaafer Khan had materially
extended his dominions to the eastward, by the
reduction of Lar, Aga Muhammed Khan had esta
blished his authority as far as Khomsha, a place
about thirty miles to the southward of Isfahan.
Little remains to be told of Jaafer Khan, except
the manner of his death. It has already been men
tioned, that he had confined, in the citadel of Shiraz,
Syed Murad Khan, who had once put forth some
feeble pretensions to the throne; and Hajy Kuly
