Sir G. Barclny thought the present an
unfortunate moment for increasing the Cossack
Brigade. An increase to the Brigade, whether
more Russian officers were appointed or not,
would be regarded in Tehran as a proof that
.the Shah was being supported by Russia

open to question. It would aggravate the
elfect of the conduct of the Russian troops at
Tabriz, encourage the Shah, and depress the
Nationalists. It should be possible, without
further weakening the force now in the
Capital, to furnish the Governor of Tabriz
with a sufficient guard from the Cossacks who
were with the Ain-ed-Dowleh.
