'Translation of Firman from His Majesty Fath Ali Shah to the Prince Royal Abbas Meerza'
- Scope & Content:
-
A translation of a Firman [edict] from Fath Ali Shah [Fath-ʻAlī Shāh Qājār], Shah of Persia [Iran], to Abbas Meerza ['Abbās Mīrzā], Prince Royal (Crown Prince), sent from Tehran and dated Zeekadah [Zū al-Qaʿdah] 1224 (December 1809-January 1810). Following the conclusion of an alliance with Britain [Preliminary Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, 1809], the Firman orders that Jouanin [Joseph Marie Jouannin], a French representative in Persia, should be dismissed, and accommodation should be provided for Sir Harford Jones, HM Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Persia. The Firman also requests that any news from Meerza Abdul Hassan [Mirzā Abul Hassan], Persian Ambassador to London, should be passed on immediately.
The translation was enclosed in Jones's Letter No. 1 to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company dated 3 February 1810.
