About this record

Content

This bundle consists of summaries of letters from HM Minister to Persia [Iran], Charles Augustus Murray, sent from Baghdad (2 April 1857, Number 12; 7 April 1857, Number 18; 8 April 1857, Numbers 19-20; and 10 April 1857, Number 22).

The summaries report on the situation in Persia, including: the draft of the Treaty sent by the Persian Government for the acceptance of the American Minister at Constantinople, which Murray viewed as being ‘full as incongruities and inaccuracies purposely introduced in order to lower our [Great Britain’s] maritime influence in the Persian Gulf’; the nature of the protection which Persian protégés of the British experienced from the French Mission; ‘scurrilous’ articles against Britain and the British Government in the official Gazette of Persia ; and ‘great discontent’ in Persia caused by a forced war contribution.
