tianeferred in this manner. In 1736 a peace between the Persians
and the Turks removed for a time the prospect of further collisions.
In 1741 signs of renewed activity in the direction of Basrah were
given hy the Persians, who were said to be buiMing boat-bridges at
Hawizeh; and on the 28th of August ] 74;3 thev laid siege to the town
with a force estimated at 12,000 men. Mr. Dorrill, the British Resident,
found himself in a difficult position : he had done what he could to avoid
complications by preventing British vessels from remaining at the port,
and he had even sent away a small brigantine of his own; but the crew of
the latter, who were Arabs, had compelled the master to bring her back to
Basrah. Mr. Dorrill, having firmly refused to lend his vessel to the local
authorities, was arrested by their orders and kept as a prisoner for two
days in a tent upon the town wall, when he submitted, fearing worse
evils ; but in the meanwhile he had caused the brigantine to be damaged
and pi acticallj scuttled, and the Turks, on becoming aware of this
released him and dropped the matter. By Nadir Shah's orders the siege
was discontinued on the 27th of November, and the Persian troops marched
away with their artillery on the 5th of December. The Persians, during
the siege, destroyed the buildings over the tombs of Zubair and Talhah
at Old Basrah, as having been erected in honour of rebels against 'Ali •
but the shrines were rebuilt by the inhabitants soon after their departure.
No further hostilities between the Persians and the Turks took place
in 'Iraq during the reign of Mahmud I; and in 1746 the boundary of the
two Empires was Te-established by a Treaty, in accordance with the old
arrangement between the Turkish Sultan Murad IV and his Persian
contemporary in 1639, on a line which towards its southern extremity
divided Khuzistan (or 'Arabistan) from Iraq-i-'Arabi; but this line itself
was not defined. The Treaty also disposed of all other important questions
pending between Turkey and Persia.
