On the 13th of March, 1779, KERIM KHAN died a natural death, an extraordinary occurrence in the modern history of Persia, having reigned (according to the different dates assigned to his accession, from the deaths of different competitors) from nineteen to thirty years. From the fall of MAHOMED HASSAN KHAN the better epoch, his conqueror lived nineteen years, with almost undisputed authority. After his death all was again in confusion; and the kingdom presented a renewal of blood and usurpation. It is scarcely necessary to state the short-lived struggles of his successors: their very names have ceased to interest us. It is sufficient therefore to add, that his sons and brothers, and other relatives, attacked each other for fourteen years after his death; till the fortunes of the whole family were finally overwhelmed in the defeat of LOOLF ALI KHAN, the last and greatest of these claimants; and the dominion was transferred, in the year 1794, to his conqueror, AGA MAHOMED KHAN, of the present royal race of Persia. In latter years, during the war between the East India Company and TIPPOO SAIB, under the administration of the Marquis WELLESLEY, the political relations of England and Persia were renewed. An embassy, which TIPPOO sent to FATTEH ALI SHAH, the present King of Persia, was followed soon after by a rival mission, which the Indian government confided to the care of MEHEDE ALI KHAN, a man of Persian extraction. In the mean time, indeed, TIPPOO was killed; and his death left us in possession of the Persian councils. After this Captain MALCOLM, in the year 1801, was sent to solicit the alliance of Persia against ZEMAUN SHAH, King of the _Afghans_. That gentleman concluded a treaty,[6] by which it was stipulated that Persia should attack _Khorassan_ and the _Afghan_ States, and that we should contribute our assistance in the expences of the war. The King of Persia carried his arms into _Khorassan_, and conquered that province. The mission of Captain MALCOLM was returned by one from the King of Persia to the Indian Government. HAJEE KELIL KHAN was sent as the embassador, but unfortunately he was killed in a fray at _Bombay_, as he was attempting to quell a disturbance between his servants and some Indians. To explain this untoward event, Mr. LOVETT, a gentleman in the Bengal civil service, was dispatched; but he proceeded no further with his mission than to _Bushire_, and delivered it over to Mr. MANESTY, the East India Company’s Resident at _Bussorah_. Another embassy was now sent from the Persian Court; and MAHOMED NEBEE KHAN, the Envoy appointed, luckily reached _Calcutta_ without any accident.
