bitterness in regard to the events of the war was manifested by the
Persian Government, unless in the punishment of some of their own
officers and soldiers by whose cowardice they had been disgraced.
Satisfaction The result of the campaign gave keen satisfaction to the Nawab
IqlSl-ud^k Iqbal-ud-Dauleh, a British political pensioner at Baghdad^ as may be
Pauleh. gathered from the following lines written by Sir J. Outram to General
Jacob at Bushehr on the 13th May 1857 :
I send an original letter, and its translation, from a member of tbe royal family of
Oude, who resides at Bagdad, and was by some considered the rightful heir to that
throne, when the ex-king succeeded. I would not, of course, accept his proffered present
for the troops, referred to in his letter ; but, perhaps, you may think it right to com
municate to them the warm congratulations of their countryman, which Kemball as
sures me are perfectly sincere; for the Nawab has always stood up manfully for the
character of the Indian soldiers when sneered at, as heretofore the Bagdadees, and Per-
sians especially, were wont to indulge in (sic).
The gift offered was not accepted ; but the NawaVs letter was com
municated to the native troops and was acknowledged by General Jacob
on their behalf in cordial and characteristic terms.
Anglo-Per* A Treaty of Peace, terminating the war, was signed at Paris on the 4th

April, 1857, a j ewe iT ec [ gi rc ll e valued at £10,000, and not long afterwards
he was promoted to the Ministership of the Interior with the title of
Amin-ud-Dauleh. The slowness of communications at the time pre
judiced both parties to the peace, for intelligence of the British victory
of Khushab did not reach Paris in time to influence the discussion of
the terms, while on the other hand the news of the conclusion of peace
arrived too late in the Persian Gulf to save the Persians their crowning
humiliation at Muhammareh. The Treaty was the result of the occu
pation of Rishehr and Bushehr alone.
Its main provisions were : the establishment of perpetual peace and
friendship between Britain and Persia from the date of exchange of
ratifications, which was to take place within three months; the release
of prisoners of war on both sides; a complete amnesty for all Persian
subjects who might have compromised themselves by their relations
with the British forces during the war ; the withdrawal by the Persians
of their troops and officials, within three months after ratification; hM
Herat and every other part of Afghanistan; the relinquishment by
Persia of all claims to sovereignty over, and demands for proofs of
obedience from, the principality of Herat, recognition by her of the
