- Abstract: Translation of instructions intended to be given to Meerza Mahomed Ali [Mīrzā Muḥammad ʿAlī Khān Shīrāzī] for his mission to Tiflis [Tbilisi], which were subsequently rescinded (see postscript of IOR/L/PS/9/70/156). They instruct Meerza Mahomed Ali to proceed to Tiflis and ensure the safe return of a group of Russian prisoners to the Governor-General of Georgia [General Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov], and to ascertain whether the Government of Georgia intends peace or war, and whether an ambassador from Persia [Iran] would be allowed to proceed to St Petersburgh [St Petersburg]. Also included are detailed instructions concerning how to respond to questions or comments from the Russians, primarily concerning the outbreak of the ongoing war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], including to inform the Persian Government promptly if it is deemed advisable to dispatch an envoy to St Petersburgh.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 4 in enclosure No. 1, in the letter of the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 23 December 1826 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/156).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
