- Scope & Content:
- Letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Tabreez [Tabriz], to the Secret Committee of the East India Company, of 11 February 1827, which was received from the Foreign Office on 10 April 1827. Macdonald Kinneir reports the withdrawal of the corps led by General Madatoff [General Valerian Madatov] from Persian territory following an unsuccessful campaign (see IOR/L/PS/9/70/178). He details his views on what would have been Madatoff’s chances of success in attacking Ardebil [Ardabil], which was undefended, and Tabreez, and details the changing of allegiance of Atta Khan, who had allied himself to General Madatoff.. He also reports the departure of the mission of Meerza Mahomed Ali [Mirza Muhammad ‘Ali Khan Shirazi] to undertake peace negotiations with Russia, accompanied by Honorary Consul Noskoff [Ivan Fyodorovich Noskov] (papers concerning which were originally enclosed and now catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/70/180-187), and the peace proposals made by the Russian Chargé d’Affaires to Persia, Mazarowitch [Semyon Mazarovich], to the Sirdar of Erivan [Sardar of Yerevan]. Macdonald Kinneir also details the military preparations made by the Prince Royal, Abbas Meerza [Crown Prince of Persia, 'Abbās Mīrzā Qājār], and the alleged parsimony of the Shah of Persia and the deleterious effects of this upon Abbas Meerza’s war effort. Macdonald Kinneir’s account includes an anecdote of the Shah having confiscated cases of glass and crystal belonging to the Russian envoy to Persia, Prince Minchikoff [Prince Aleksandr Sergeevich Menshikov].
