- Title:
- ‘Prince Menchikoff to Ausef ud Dowleh’
- Scope & Content:
-
The translation of a letter from the Russian envoy to Persia [Iran], Prince Menchikoff [Prince Aleksandr Sergeevich Menshikov], at Sooltaneeah [Solţānīyeh], to the Prime Minister of Persia, the Ausef ud Dowleh [Allah Yar Khan Qajar Davallu, Asif al-Dawlah], of 21 July 1826. In the letter, Prince Menchikoff indicates that the instructions with which he was empowered to settle the frontier dispute between Russia and Persia in the Caucasus were based on proposals discussed between the Prince Royal of Persia [Crown Prince of Persia, 'Abbās Mīrzā Qājār] and the Governor-General of Georgia, General Yermeloff [General Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov], and his deputy General Wilhemenoff, dating to 1825, which he argues are no longer commensurate with the current state of the negotiations. On this basis he proposes the appointment of commissioners to settle the frontier dispute, or for Persia to send an envoy to St Petersburgh [St Petersburg].
This document was originally enclosed in the letter of HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 23 July 1826 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/99).
