make ktowit the reasons which have rendered this measure
aewiseary.

her Majesty's Novo, Ezweordiaary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary at the Court of the Shah of Persia, sad his Highness

While the k 8 goverment her faithfelly and otr-
steady adhaiell the obligations latish it accepted wider

hes ensitifedd • deliberate sad perrarring disregard of the

8o fir baths Damber, 1&55, the Persian government,
by so article la the Tehran uncial Comae, announesd its
Ulundi)* of despatoblog a fora to Herr, silegiog that the
Amer foot Malossed Khan, the ruler of affgbanisten, had
been instigated by his " neighbours " to parer himself of
Kandahar • that having, with their serrate*, succeeded is
that enteritis*, he meditated an advisor upon Herat; and
that an armed demonstration in the direction of Herat
was required for the preservation of tratiquiWty is
Khorasan.

This assertion, that the ruler of AM/besides was Wall-
gated by bia " neighbours " toot:espy Kandahar, es that he
was assisted by thew in passaging biggest( at that city, or
that he swigs& advice or encouragempt from them to

adman ulna Herat, was, if by tbos. "neighbours" the
British government is indicated, wholly untrue. No such
instigation or assistants or encouragement, direst or la.
direct, hod been given by the British government; nor, so
fir as the British government is informed, had there been,
when the WNW° a wu mode, any set on the part of the
Amery Does Maltentod khan evincing a design to adman,
upon Herat.
Nevertheless, the Persian government has esenated its
Intention. Not only have Penton troops Wooded the terri-
tory of Herat, although the contingency which aloe* could
justify such as act has not some to pan; bet they laid step
to the city, sad have intnfored in its internal drain, while
the goverameat of Tana has sot only assumed the right
to nominate the ruler of Herat, but is addressing the pre-
sent chief of the city bee dinned Horst to be Pongee soil.
The siege of Unit has now ben carried on by the Per-
sian army for many months. Before its commencement,
and daring its progress, the unfriendly sentiment's of Penis
towards the British government have been scarcely veiled
end, receatly, the movemenu of troops in dill parts of
Persia, have indicated a determination to persist In an
agurearisa, whisk is as unprovoked is it is mussy to good
lank.

seamed If Me Majesty's government to constitute an act

PERSIA AND HERAT.

We !lad the following announcement, which is
without date, in the Viennese and Berlin papers
" The hair to the throne of Persia, a boy, au years
of age, bee jest died.
"The Shah has boned a proelamation, announcing
that Booked be. commenced a war 'pint Persia.
" Six English ships have arrived at the island of
Ormus, which they have occupied."
Orono, situate at the entrance of the Persian Gulf,
is aemall and almost uninhabited rocky island. For-
merly it was a Portuguese derat of some importance ;
at present it belongs to the Imam of Menet, a ruler
In amity with England.
The Constantinople correspondent of Le PI M*
remarks that " although the capture of Herat may
appear to English eyes to have augmented the diffi-
culties of an amicable settlement of the dispate
between England and Persia, it will be regarded by
the Persians, on the other hand, as an event which
should tend rather to simplify the question. The
Shah had pledged himself, as a point of honour, to
cot quer the city which his father, with a large army,'
tailed to do; but the Shah has
keep it in his possession. His object is now attained,
the pride of Persia is satisfied, and the evacuation of
Herat, if it be the fret condition demanded by
England, will readily be conceded. New-ad-Din has
repeatedly declared, to the English as well is to the
Hessian ministers, that he did not wish to annex
Herat to his dominions!, but that his sole object wee
to avenge the death of Beid Mohammed, and to
punish his turbulent neighbours."
