- Title:
- ‘Firman of the King of Persia addressed to Col. McDonald British Envoy to the Court of Persia’
- Scope & Content:
-
Firman [a letter or order] from the King of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār, Shāh of Persia] to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, dated Jemadebraneh 1243 [Jumādá al-Thānīyah 1243 AH, December 1827]. The King indicates that the articles of the treaty of peace to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], concluded between Abbas Mirza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia] and the Russian General [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], have not been laid before him, and that therefore he has dispatched the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mirza Abul Hussain Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī] to negotiate and agree terms instead.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 9 in dispatch No. 81, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 21 January 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/154).
