Please refer to Sir A. Nicolson’s telegram of to-day’s date.

CONSTITUTION in Persia.
I have received your telegram of to-day’s date, and in consequence have sent
instructions to His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran.
Russian Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs should be informed of this.
I AM informed by M. Tcharykoff that M. de Hartwig has received instructions to
the effect that no direct appeal for assistance to the Russian troops at Julfa is to he
made either by him or by the Russian Consul at Tabreez, but that, should the lives of
Russian subjects be in any danger, the Russian Government is to be informed, and
such orders as may appear expedient will be issued by the latter. It seems preferable,
in M. Tcharykoft’s opinion, that, in view of the improvement of the situation in Tabreez,
control over the movements of the Russian troops should remain in the hands of the
Russian Government. I said 1 quite concurred in the view that the decision as to
whether assistance was necessary or not should rest with the Central Government, and
not with their Agents in Persia.
M. BIZOT called on me on the 25th instant and said that he had been summoned
to the Shah’s camp that morning and had been requested to find some means of raising
a considerable sum of money, which was urgently required to pay and feed the troops at
Tabreez. It was first pressed on him that he should try to obtain the advance of
400,000/. from Great Britain and Russia; but on his pointing out that the Persian
Government had shown no intention whatever of fulfilling the conditions which the
two Governments attach to the advance, and that therefore he could not recommend
the proposal to the two Legations, the Prime Minister then inquired if M. Bizot could
not assist the Government to raise money if he, Mushir-es-Sultaneh, pledged his jewels
as security. M. Bizot said that he could not of course prevent the Minister from
raising money in that manner, as a personal transaction, but that he must in every
way discountenance any attempt of the Government to obtain funds indirectly by this
means. . .
I told M. Bizot that I entirely concurred in his view that it was impossible to
