this supine submission 10 the process of

tered a ii the only object of those in
power was 10 seek their own momentary
advantage; as if, IN fact, the Persians
held the country as yearly tenants, and
nothing more. When Sir Lewis Pelly
was lin his capacity of Political Resident
at Bushire) in official communication
with the Government of Shiraz, he
showed his true appreciation of the pO-
litical system of Persia in report to the
Bombay Government. "a he wrote,
''gives to his sub-farmers permission to
collect the revenue by force; this is done /;
next year some Of the peasants are fled 4;
some of the land is lying waste. The
country, in brief, is revenued as if the
Government were to end with the expiry
of the Governors lease. The Firman
Firma had but one word Of explanation
concerning the condition of Persia; the
country, he said, was "very, very poor"
There had been few robberies lately in
his province, but he believed it was gen.
orally quiet Che has since been recalled,
owing to his inability to control the
turbulent people Of Shiraz); he should
provide us with an armed escort from
Shiraz to Bushire, which he had intended
should be ten men and an officer; but as
preferred to have only two sowars, he
would give orders that but two, and those
the most trustworthy, should accompany
our caravan. He provided the customary
entertainment of tobacco, tea, and coffee,
and most polite in desiring to do any
thing which could conduce to the COM
fort and pleasure Of our stay at Shiraz.-
