desirable for political reasons, to some other place. This appears to be
one of the last references, if not the very latest, to the trade carried
on for two hundred years by the East India Company in Persia.
We have seen that a Treaty of Commerce between Britain in Persia
was succsessfully arranged by Captain Malcolm in 1801 ; but it was not
re-affirmed at any later date, and after the conclusion of the Political
Treaty of 1814, in the preamble of which it was stated that a separate
commercial treaty, would be drawn up the Persian Government contended
that the Treaty of Commerce of 1801 had ceased to be in force. In
1823a Farman was obtained from the Shah, with reference to anew duty
on the export of horses from the Gulf ports, that no duties should in
future be levied on horses or other property or goods belonging to Britisli
subjects excepting such as were authorised by long established usage;
but this was an insutiicient substitute for a Commercial Treaty, and in
1827 inconveniences which arose at Bushehr in consequence could only
be removed, as has already been mentioned, by special temporary arrange*
ments. Towards the end of the reign of Fat-h-^Ali Shah it was desired
to establish a line for British trade with Persia across Turkey, which
made the appointment of British Consuls at certain places in Persia
almost necessary; but the Shah was firmly opposed to the scheme, and his
objections proved an insuperable bar to the conclusion of a Commercial
Treaty.
