RECEPTION OF ills MAJESTY'S MISSION AT
THE COURT OF PERSIA.
reception which his Majesty's Mission ti et
with on the day of its entry into Taihran' the
present capital of Persia, although it had been
marked all through the country by acts of unpa-
ralleled courtesy, was more flattering there than
it had been at any other place.
Two Noblemen were deputed by the King to
meet Sir llarford Jones, previous -tct his entry
into the city ; the one Norma Khan, a person of
the 'toys! Blood, and the other Hassan Khali, a
General in the Persian army. These persons and
their numerous attendants escorted the Envoy to
a palace, which was allotted fur his habitation,
I belonging to the second Minister •of State, where
! refreshments of all descriptions were in waiting for
hint, and the day after his arrival he was visited in
groottbremouy by his host, anti other distinguished
Niibtetnen of- the Court.

Thu Mission reached Tashran on the 14th 0
Feb. During the morning of the Moharem—a
festival which the Persians hold sacred, keeping
much at home, and permitting no business to in.
trude upon their religious ceremonies—it was
therefore expected that much time would elapse
before the Envey could be permitted to approach
the presence of the King—but so anxious was his
Persian Majesty to shew every mark of attention
to the King of Fogland's Mission, that he broke
through the old established custems of his cowl,
try to give it an early todieneemind, 'to the ssto.
' oliTithent of all his Court, made it publicly known
that be intended to receive the Envoy before the
Moharem was expired.
On the third day after his arrival, Sir Harford
Jones was admitted to the Iteyal Presence: at
shunt elcren.OPclock iu the morning, Sir Harford
Julies, bearing his Majesty's Letter in a beautiful
oroyinetited case, followed by Mr. Morier with
; thu Presents, in a gold dish, and atteuded by the
other Gentlemen of his suite, issued from. his
; .
apartments, and walked in procession to where
his horses and atte;bdants were in wailing. When
his Majesty's Letter first mime to public view, the
trumpet of Sir liarford Jones's guard of cavalry
i sounded God Save the King. Sir Harlon! then,
in great form, placed tho Letter, Mr. Morier,
I and the Peewits, into a tachteravan (or litter),
covered with crimson cloth, ornamented with the
Crown and Itoyal'lnitials, and enriched with gold
lace, which was borne by two mules, superbly
caparisoned, and escorted by pert of the cavalry,
With drawn swords. When the taehteravan pro.
ceeded, the trumpet again sounded God Save the
King.
The order of march from Sir Harford Jones's
holm to the King's palace was as fellows:—

(le the Threes:, %here the Shah sat.

The Shah's reception of Sir Harford Jones was
most nattering. His Majesty asked with vett
spparent solicitude after the health of his brother
of England, then enquired after the Envoy's health,
the eircuMstauecs of his journey, and a thousand
questions abotit his welfare; expressed his tatis.
faction at having hins at his Conrt, and thee re-
quired
that all the rest of the Gentlemen of the
Envoy's suite should be introduced to him one by
one, which having been perforated by the Vizier,
his Majesty said, with great affability, ts,i!very se.
parate person, " You aro welcome." The visit
having lasted nearly an hour, Sir ilarford Jones
and his suite returned to their home, nearly with
thu same ceremony with whidi they came.
The K leg was seated on a Throne, called the'
Peacock Throne, which is elevated by two steps
from the ground, and is ornamented by precious
stones, and gold plate richly enamelled. Six of
his Majesty's sons stood on the right of his
Throne, and Ste pages on the left, unc bolting
the King's 'crown (being similar to the one his
IMajesty wore); a second, his sword ; a third, his
shield and axe; a fourth, his bow and avows ;
and a fifth, his perfume put.
