Copy of dispatch No. 10 from HM Ambassador Extraordinary to Persia [Iran], Sir Gore Ouseley, in Tehran, to the Governor-General of the Presidency of Fort William, Lord Minto, of 12 May 1812. The letter encloses the quarterly accounts of the Embassy in Tehran and a set of bills for the Chief Clerk at the Foreign Office (not enclosed in this item). The letter reports the contributions of money, matériel and troops made by the Shah of Persia, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, to the Crown Prince of Persia, Abbas Mirza. Ouseley also quotes from his conversations with the Shah on the subject of Britain continuing the subsidy to Persia following peace with Russia, and argues in favour of continuing the subsidy for five years following a peace deal. The letter also recommends facilitating peace between Russia and Persia to mitigate the impending conflict between France and Russia.
