About this record
- Content
Copy of a memorandum detailing the views of the Prince Royal [Crown Prince] of Persia [Iran], Abbas Mirza, expressed to Sir Harford Jones, HM Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary A diplomatic representative who ranks below an ambassador. The term can be shortened to 'envoy'. to Persia, on the night on 31 May 1810. The Prince Royal mainly expressed views concerning Russo-Persian armistice negotiations and Ottoman-Persian relations including:
- The breakdown of the armistice negotiations and renewal of war between the Russians and Persians over the sole issue of the defence of the Ottoman frontier
- Persian-Ottoman cooperation in the defence of the frontier
- The perceived shortcomings of the Ottoman defensive arrangements at the frontier
- Suggestions for the appointment of a new Seraskier [Serasker] to the frontier by the Ottomans.
The memorandum also details the Prince Royal's frustrations at his having received payments of tobacco and sugar from the British for the war with Russia, rather than money or war matériel.
The memorandum was an enclosure in Jones's letter to Earl Bathurst, enclosed in Jones's secret letter of 4 June 1810, which was received on 4 October 1810.
