In 1757 Karim Khan was firmly established at Shiraz, Behbehan

expedition against the Ka'ab of 'Arabistan; but in that year the
Qajars of Mazandaran, who had offered their aid against Azad Khan,
made war upon him under the orders of their head, Mubamruad
Husain Khan. The Zand chief, in 1757-58, was for a time besieged in
his capital of Shiraz ; but the Qajar, weakened by defections from his
force, was ultimately obliged to return to Mazandaran, where he was
shortly after defeated and killed by memberis of his own tribe, assisted by

dealings during the Afghan occupation of Persia from 1722 to 1729 ;
but, as Nadir Shah gradually came to the front, a correspondence
was opened between him and the East India Company. In 1733
Nadir promised that on the fall of Baghdad, against which he was
then operating, the Company's privileges in Persia should be renewed;
but after this a coolness arose, in consequence, it would seem, of
dispositions made by the English for helping the Turks to defend Basrah
against the Persians, and the Company's representatives at Isfahan and
