DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
and gloomy in the sight of the people of the fort.
After a short delay, the garrison of the fort of oppo
sition, being without resources on every side, had
recourse to the entrenchment of surrender. Thus
was this strong fortress reduced; the obedient
and the rebellious were treated, according to their
respective deserts, with mercy or chastisement,
with mildness or severity; and their collected
wealth became the booty of the soldiers. Aga
Khan Kajar, with a suitable force, was appointed
to remain for the defence of the captured works,
and the victorious army moved in the direction of
Sabzawar. On their arrival in this district, Husain
Kuly Khan, who had pushed on the siege of the
place with great activity, was ordered to reduce
Nishaboor. Allah Yar Khan, beholding the image
of death represented in the mirror of his soul,
now sent, in a litter, to the royal apartments,
his daughter, the beloved object of desire, whom
Mirza Asad Allah, secretary to the Prime-minister,
had been sent to conduct to court, but whom
Allah Yar Khan had until this day concealed under
the veil of procrastination. He also penned, in
characters as black as his own soul, humble peti
tions, apologizing for his offences, and containing
this request:—" As the number of the years of my
" life has passed sixty, and the spring of my youth has
" become the sport of the autumn of weakness, the
" hand of the rebellious requires to be propped by a
" staff; for his feet are immersed in the clay of stum-
" bling and sin. The vestibule of the celestial court
