I have looked through the 1869-70
correspondence about the status of Bahrein. On
receipt of the representations of the Persian
Government in regard to the proceedings of Colonel
Felly, one British Agent at Bushire, towards the Shaikh
of Bahrein, the Duke of Argyll in the letter of 27th
February 1869, of which a copy is below, took the
line that the Persian attitude was not warranted by the
actual state of the relations of Bahrein with Persia
and with the British Government, the Shaikh of Bahrein
being an independent Chief whose independence His
Majesty's Government had recognised by entering into
Treaty angagements with him. Not only, said the
letter, had we never recognised, but on the other hand
we had always denied the rights of Persia to assert
her sovereignty over that territory. The draft note
to the Persian Minister informing him, in reply to his
representations, that the Shaikh of Bahrein was an
independent chief with whom the British Government had
treaty engagements and whom they must hold strictly to
the performance of those engagements, was concurred
