At the end of the winter of 1809-10 a despatch was received by
Sir H. Jones from the Government of India, in which he was requested
to relinquish his functions in Persia in favour of Dr. Jukes, who
had been placed by them in provisional charge of British interests
at Tehran, pending the arrival there of General Malcolm; but Sir
Harford did not consider it necessary or proper to comply with the
desire of the Governor-General, especially as he had already submitted
his resignation to His Majesty^s ministers by the medium of Mr. Morier
and was in expectation of their orders.
General Malcolm left Bombay on the 10th January 1810 in the

and on the 14th of February he landed at Bushehr. Here he remained
until a letter from the Shah should arrive, making a favourable reception
at Tehran certain, and not until this condition had been fulfilled did
lie start on the journey up country. Leaving Bushehr on the 15th
of April, he arrived at Shiraz on the 27th, where he paused until the
16th of May. During this halt he received news of the murder,
on the confines of Turkish ^Iraq, of Captain Grant and Lieutenant
