DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
" ship with the Government of France is the source
" of hostility against that of England. If the Mi-
" nisters of Iran avert their sight from amity with
" France, the friendly purposes of both parties will
" not only be carried into effect, but be daily aug-
" mented by the good intelligence subsisting be-
" tween the two States. Otherwise, amity with the
" Government of France must ultimately lead to
" hostility and war with England." Although the
exalted Ministers had suspected, from Askar Khan's
protracted stay in Paris, that the engagements en
tered into with the French Government were not
to be depended on ; yet, as maxims of State and the
rules of sound policy did not permit them to publish
their secret transactions to all the world before the
exact state of affairs became evident, to permit
communications like those of General Malcolms,
while the transaction was kept concealed, would be,
in truth, repugnant to the principles of good faith
and sincerity, and entirely opposed to the magnani
mity of the State and monarchy : consequently, the
Government of Iran was not inclined to sanction
the completion of this embassy; while, at the same
time, the French ambassador possessed the greatest
influence at the seat of Government, and was ex
ceedingly delighted at the occurrence of this event.
At this period, through the clear-sighted poli c }
adopted by Lord Howick*, the English \ izir, (whose
* It is remarkable, the appellatives Ho wick and Jones, written
without the vowels, are, in Persian, significative—the first, of ^ ru
Justice, Equity, Law, Reason, Rectitude, Steadiness, Vigilan ce '
the last, " The head of a genus or kind." This important di-
covery was made, not as Dryden did in writing of long prefaces 1
in the course of one of the very lone: discussions which took pl ace
durin?
