to investigate the causes of tKe decline of the Persian trade, was obliged
on arrival at Bushehr, in March 1785, to postpone if not to abandon
his intended journey.
The reign of Ja^far Khan differed from that of his predecessor
chiefly in this, that the Qajars had become aggressive, and that the Zand
ruler was now reduced to acting chiefly on the defensive, and had some
times difficulty in maintaining his authority even in the south. Soon after
the accession of Ja'far Khan, Agha Muhammad Khan marched against
Isfahan, and the new sovereign withdrew in such disorder from the
town that his baggage was partially plundered by a mob ; he found a
safe retreat however at Shiraz, where, under the influence of Haji
Ibrahim, a somewhat remarkable man whom Ja'far Khan afterwards
appointed to the Kalantarship of Fars, Saiyid Murad Khan had
remained faithful to his interests. Agha Muhammad Khan not long
afterwards came into collision with the Bakhtiyari tribe and, having
been discomfited by them in battle, retired to his own country, where
upon Ispahan was temporarily recovered for Ja^far Khan by a force
under Saiyid Murad Khan.

in arms against his master ; and it led to an attack by royal troops upon
the Kazaran chief, followed in the first instance by his flight, later by bis
voluntary submission, and finally by his treacherous imprisonment at
Shiraz. Riza Quli Khan, the brother of ^Ali Quli Khan, fled to
Bushehr and thence to Basrah ; and Ja'far Khan appointed a kinsman
of his own to the government of Kazaran.
The difficulties of Ja^far Khan were added to, about this time, by the 17B^.
revolt of Ismail Khan, a cousin to whom he had entrusted the adminis
tration of a district; and in March 1786 the rebel even defeated him in
a serious encounter. In the following autumn Ja 5 far Khan thought it
necessary to proceed against Biishehr, of which place the hereditary
ruler, Shaikh Nasir, now more than 80 years of age, had been guilty
of an unfriendly act in harbouring the fugitive Riza Quli Khan and
had also neglected to pay the tribute due by himself to the central govern

the 22nd September, the Shaikh tendered his submission and purchased
