Abstract: Dispatch No. 115 from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to Andrew Stirling, Acting Secretary to the Government of Bengal, dated 25 August 1828.Macdonald Kinneir reports that the Persian Government has agreed to the ratification of the abrogation of the third and fourth articles of the Definitive Treaty, which concern British subsidies and military aid to Persia, in exchange for a contribution of 200,000 tomans from Macdonald Kinneir towards a payment to secure the withdrawal of Russian troops from Khoee [Khoy] in accordance with the Treaty of Toorkmanchaee [Turkemchay], and forwards related correspondence (IOR/L/PS/9/71/290-294). Macdonald Kinneir states that he will not forward the ratification to the Government of Bengal until he has heard back about the proposed modification of the Definitive Treaty, and also voices suspicions that the Russian forces hope to occupy Khoee indefinitely.The letter also reports on civil conflict in Khorassan [Khorasan], including the capture of Meshed [Mashhad] by Reza Khouli Khan Zaferanloo [Rezā Qulī Khān Za’farānlū], and developments in the war between Turkey [Ottoman Empire] and Russia [Russo-Turkish War, 1828-29].This document was originally enclosed in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 36 to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company of 5 October 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/262).Physical description: 1 item (4 folios)
