- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of dispatch No. 16 from HM Chargé d’Affaires to Persia [Iran], Henry Willock, at Camp Sooltaneeah [Solţānīyeh], to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, George Canning, of 23 July 1826. The letter reports a recommencement of negotiations between the Russian envoy to Persia, Prince Minchikoff [Prince Aleksandr Sergeevich Menshikov], and the Persian Government, and the rejection by the Shah [Fath-‘Ali Shāh Qājār] of Prince Minchikoff’s proposal for the temporary evacuation of the disputed territory (land on the shores of the lake of Gokcheh [Lake Sevan]) by Russia. Willock also reports an 'insurrection' in Talish [Talysh], in which a Russian force has been ‘cut up’, and the appeal made by the inhabitants of Talish for aid from Persian troops, which he believes has influenced the Shah’s decision.
The letter originally enclosed extracts from Willock’s journal, reporting his communications with Prince Minchikoff (now catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/70/106), and translations of a note from Prince Minchikoff to the Prime Minister of Persia [Allah Yar Khan Qajar Davallu, Asif al-Dawlah] (now catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/70/107), and from the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Meerza Abul Hassan Khan [Mirza Abū al-Ḥasan Khan Shīrāzī] to the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Karl Robert Nesselrode (now catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/70/108).
This document was originally enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 23 July 1826 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/99).
