the 2nd August, and duplioato copy of Bussora correspondence to that date.
No alteration has lately taken place either at Ispaliaun or Sherauz. Jaffier
Khan with on Army of from ten to fifteen thousand men is now at Kawsaroon;
he arrived there the 22nd ultimo when he immediately summoued all the
different Governors of these parts except Sheikh Nausir, to attend him. The
greatest part of them is already gone, and the 7th instant Sheikh Nausir sent
him a considerable present accompanied by one of his Nephews whioh the
Khan accepted of and vested the Sheik’s nephew with a robe of honour
Jaffier Khan’s future designs iB not yet known, but it is supposed he will pro­
ceed towards Ispahan so 60on as he shall have collected the outstanding reve­
nues of these parts.
I remain with greatest respect,

Honourable Sir and Sirs,
Your very obedient humble servant,
EDWARD GALLEY.

Hon’blb Sir and Sirs,
The Scorpion Snow Captain John Tbistleton being now despatched to
your Honour, &c., enclosed you will please to receive a duplicate of last res­
pects of the 26th October.
Jaffier Khan 6till continues Kwazaroon, but it is supposed that he will very
shortly proceed to the Northward to join the Bactrians from whence he will
proceed againstjlspahaun, Mahomed Khan qf Mazandiram being dangerously ill
at Teheran.
PrwenU to Jaffier Mirza Hossein formerly Sadoo Khan’s second Secretary, and from whom
Kban’i Secretary.
the Factors at Bussora received much assistance on the capture of that place
by the Persians in 1776 being at present Jaffier Khan’s Prime Minister I
embrace the opportunity of the return of a relation of his to Kazaroon the 6th
instant writing him a complimentary letter and requesting the continuance of
his friendship to the English Nation; and I at the same time sent him a present
of an elegant Aohromatio Telescope and a Farenhei't’s Thermometer, two arti­
cles of whioh Persians are extremely desirous. It is true I might have spared
the Honourable Company the charge of this present; but as the whole
amounts to no more than five hundred rupees and Mirza Hossien from his high
station and great influence with Jaffier Khan may have it in his power of
greatly benefitting the Hon’ble Company’s affairs in his Kingdom. I flatter
myself your Honour, etc., will approve my oonduot and I remain with the
greatest respect.
Hon’ble Sir, etc.,
EDWARD GALLEY.
