Our intellt,ence from the int alotet India speaks favourably of the general tlautia.llity of the country, and the satisfaction of the pco at' ivhig under a Government whose aim as Weil as whose interest it' fortunately is to preserve to them the blessings of, abundance, seculizy, and peace. There at! found here and there, however, refractory brigands, who draw around themselves a set 'of 'desperate adven turers, and seek, jn resistance to established Authori ties, and in plunder of the Peaceable and industrious part of the population, that gain which neither their virtues nor their taler.ts would procure for them in a regular and well-ordered community. The Beitool Valley, and the whole of the Nagpore country, have been principally the scene of these late revolts ; and we have given the details of the-opera tions against the revolters these, as they have occur red from time to time. The most stubborn and cou rageous ,of the enemies with whom our troopshave had to contend, were Arabs and Goands, and among the slain the first have been always the most nume rous, as being constantly found in the hottest of the fight. Lieutenant Cruikshank has particularly distin rai:ehed himself in these contests, and Lieutenant , of the 7th Cavalry, has been so closely engag ed as to have had two horses shot under him within the last two. months, besides being wounded himself. By their small detachments, a march of 40 miles was I.•ade, and two battles fought within the space of 26 hours, and she troops bore all with firmness and cheerfulness, • though 4 .• roads over which they marched were unusually bad, ana Listed no food till the close of their gallant labouri. The i n the territory of Na` pore are so bad, that it is said only six camels survived out of 46 that were em ployed for a very limited period near the Bank of lgerbudda. Major Bowen, of .the Madras army, has also dis tinguished himself in several gallant actions with these Croands and Arabs, and particularly in an affair against Boordaee, where, the rising of the stream 'in some nullahs having cut off his expected reinforce ments, be bravely dashed on with only 100 infantry, and drove five times that number out of the town before him, SOO of whom were afterwards cut up by rh. 7. • Major Wilson has also earned his portion of mili tary reputation, by the taking of Pa..vnee, another strong post, seated on the banks of a river, about 25 miles to the S.E. of Nagpore. The details of this gal lant storm are such as reflect the highest credit on the courage and skill of those enga7,ed. The Mogul horse. who are. attached to Major Wilson's party, -be haved also with great bravery, and evinced, x% hat the conduct of Indian troops has always so conTicuously shown, that good leaders and brave chicitains are almost all that are wanting to make disciplined sol diers, and courageous men. The last letters we have from Hussingabad are of. the date of the 191 of October, and they inform us that Shei kh •1) uni), a celebrated Piniaree Chief, has made his appearance in the BeitoolValley with a train of followers, and that Appall Sahib himself was about to make a inovenwat to the eastward. The Maaas troops, adds cu r Correspondent, are taking fort ;titer fait in the noighboarhood of rag pore ; and th;; ex,ltajah's lic adds, are so completely exiimsted, that he ma soon be expected to effect an escape from his own troops, and throw himself on the mercy of the enemy whom he has so fluitlesly'braved. • CALCUTTA, OCTOBER'2o. . . HUSSIN:: AEA r).—'A'e have been favoured with a private letter horn this quarter, which states, that though the country is in a state of quiet at present, the revolting d:kpmizi(in of the people is likely to furnish stthkient occupation for the troops in the neighbourhood.

Jena early on the morning of the 9th of Match; that from thence he proceeded to Erlangen, whe..e lie rs!.- quested a passport for the borders of the Maine. lie set off from Erlangen on the IStlt, and arrived post on the evening of the 22d at Lomb, five leagues from Manheim, on the other side of the Rhine. At Lorch, he hired a peasant's cart, and arrived at Manheim on the 23d, at ten o'clock in the morning. The wretch displayed much composure; even atter committing the deed, he sheaved no 'symptoms of repentance whatever. His answers, which he had been permit ted to make in writing, as far as was consistent with his enfeebled condition,.stated, that M. de Kotzebue deserved death; that he bad r private revenge against him, but that for a long time he had iesolved upon his death, on account of crimes of which he had been guilty against Germany; that he was tranquil, because he had succeeded; that he had no accomplice, and that his crime could only be im puted to himself. This fanatic appeared to feel no other regret than for the relatives of his victim. His attendants were compelled to tic his hands, to pre vent him from tearing on' the bandages and opening his wounds. His exterior was agreeable, and all the information which has been collected with respect to his conduct before the assassination is very favourable. The body of M. de Kotzebue was opened; all the organs were found in as sound a state as those of a young man; it is therefore preiamed that he might have lived to an advanced age. A French Paper gives the following as the decla ration left by the assassin : " Sale bond or union, Virtue, I invoke, " Whilst Kotzebue's breast receives the mortal stroke!" " In our days it is necessary to pronounce, with resolution, for the law which GOD hall) engraven in flaming characters on the hearts of his creatures. Prepare yourselves—decide for life or death! " Open crimes are not the most pernicious scourges of our nature ; Vice attacks more mortally under the hypocritical veil of habits of Politeness, and the ex ternals of Morality; Falsehood assumes a thousand deceitful forms. What ! shall the present state of the people be the only result of so many sacrifices? Shall we remain plunged in this misciable weakness ? " Half-learned fools, confined by their own vain knowledge, shall they alone continue to set truth at defiance, which reigns in the heart of man in its ow•n noble simplicity ; shall they alone _paralyze its effects on the conduct of life? * * • • In the great German nation there are certainly many individuals who fat surpass me, but, for myself, I hate nothing so much qs the laxity and the venality of the mode of think ing In L e present day * • • 40. "I owe it to you t give a proof,—l owe it to my self to declare openly against that laxity.---1 know nothing more noble than to sacrifice thee, thou Arch- Valet ;--thee, the lEgis of this age of-veitati ry _ t h e corrupter, and betrayer of my country. But I 'ow. i t to you, my country, to hate and to sacrifice all those who, in their culpable audacity, have forgotten that which was divine in those who keep you under by a yoke affectedly wise, like a crowd of fools, and wish to make you move like a complicated wheel, the instru ment of their perfidious designs. • * • *. The refor mation must be completed, Brethren, do not abandon each other in tempestuous circumstances ; treason me naces with slavery our generation, and those which are to come. The book of history is open before you ? Arise! I see the great day of Liberty ! Arouse, my country, Reflect, take courage, deliver yourself!! r Another French Journal contains the following ob., servations Germany, at all . times, divided into a multitude of petty states, from the nature of its Go vernments, is in our days split into various formida ble sects. It.cannot be doubted, that Kotzebue's as sassin sallied forth from one of them, with the death warrant in his hand. All Europe has read the first productions of Kotzebue; the principles which he therein maintained, attacked at every point, with the weapons of ridicule and invective, the purest doc trines of Religion, and the most solid supports of legitimate authority. It is also known, that for the last three years, he had abjured his spirit of incredu lity, and his anti-social doctrines. When M. Stourza, whose pen, it is said, frequently expresses the thoughts (-.1 a great Prince, spread throughout Germany, after the Congress of Aix-la-Chalrlle, a performance re plete with profound and luminous ideas with regard to the political state of the Empire, and in which, after describing the continually recurring tempests during the last five years, he pointed to religion as the only Pharos standing erect amidst so many ruins, and recommending a reform in the system of the Universities which was becoming a source of dis quietude as to the happiness of the rising generation and the tranquillity of the different Governments—a furious war burst forth, and most vehement attacks upon Stourza were issued from the press. Kotzebue stood by him, and took up arms in the same cause ; and hence he excited the hatred and rage of the Stu dents. When Kotzebue received the stroke of the poniard he was reading the letter which the murderer had put into his hands, and which commenced with these words— , It is I who have taken you in charge, vile slave of Kings.' the denomination here given to Kotzebus, indicates the spirit which animates the Students. There was found on the person of the as sassin the Manifesto of the Tentones, or ancient Ger mans. They complain of Prince., of their flatterers, and of their slaves. They call upon Germany to place herself under one sceptre, and, one church—, that of Luther. Mean While a well known author ar Berlin, - puts forth a caricature of the Holy work,' directed against the holy Alliance, or the pamphlet, of Stouiza. -A Leipsic Professor, in a refutation of- this pamphlet, , places the Mutti on an equality with the Pope. • N'i . popery, is one of watch-words of 'Antonia. aincittler.

It, bio' rim of riper yeari and oftool and calculating heads, LYONS, APRIL s. Saturday last, the Sicur Louis Gutton, a dealer in thread, living at the Market de la Grenette, his wife and daughter received a visit from some of their neighbours, which at departing they invited them to repeat the next morning. At an early hour the visi tors presented themselves; but finding no answer to their many applications for admittance, they recon ciled themselves to the disappointment, by supposing that M. Gutton and his family had• gone into the country. The Monday following, however, the same application was repeated, with no better Success. This circumstance raised a suspicion that some acci dent had happened, and the friends lo't no time' in apprising the Commissary of the Acrondis-;entent of the nature of their fears. An immediate investiga tion, in consequence,. took place; and the Officer, in company of the friends and neighbours of M. Gutton, proceeded to search his house. There appeared not a vestige of any of its inhabitants; though, from the condition of the supper table, and the state of the beds, it appeared they had supped and gone to bed. This was the more mysterious, as to one had seen them go cut during the night, or in the morning.— In the evening of the same day, the Magistrate put his seal upon the door, at the request of the friends of M. Gutton. Hitherto the closest inspection into the state of the house did not go far in removing the mys tery; fcr the plate, watches, and jewels were . in their places, and there was money in the chamber, and tne - warehouse--)n Sunday, the ‘2Bth, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the body of Madame Gutton was taken up at Irigny, on the Rhone, having been stopped in a fisherman s net. The night-cap and night-gown which the deceased had worn the preceding niht, were still upon the body; however, from no outward inspection, or by opening the body, could the smallest clue be found by which to trace the cause or manner of her death. It is still impossible to guess by what fatality these three individuals have been thus lost to society, which regrets thetil with a melancholy re flection upon their fate. Was it a simple accident, or the consequence of an act of despeir 4r.nigdness, or could it be the result of a aeliberate frightful crime ? We must leave it time and the active efforts of the Police to bring to light the Mysterious bear ings•of this affair.. THE PERSIAN AMBASSADOR. A Paris Paper contains some. curious details of the history of MIRZA ABDOUL HASSAN KHAN, the Per, %ion Ambassador now at Paris, on his-way to tow.' don. iitoing descended from a distinguished family, who occupied th• hinhest post of honour anckpower under the Kings of Peir.i a , he himself, when yotmg, was appointed to the governut. n t of a district 'of the kingdom of Persia bordering on du. Persian Gulf. While thus enjoying his' Sovereign's favour, azime rse of fortune, not uncommon in the despotic countries of the East, plunged him from the pinnacle of ho nour into the depths of adversity. His uncle, wh o filled the situation of Prue Minister at the Court of Persia, was accused, by the cilurnnies of jealoniii courtiers, of 'aspiring to the Throne: and the Royal displeasure, of which he, in consequence became the victim, extended its withering effects to all his family. The unfortunate Minister was put to death, and his property confiscated to the Crown, while several of his relations lost their lives or had their eyes put out, for no other reason than because they happened to be connected with his family. Abdoul Hassan, the Ambassador, who was de-e prived of his Government, and threatened with a si milar fate, happily escaped death by being forgotten till vengeance was satisfied, and after languishingin prison for three months, was allowed to retire from office and danger into foreign lands. Ills first object was to visit the tomb of the Prophet. at Mecca, and, this pilgrimage inspired him with the wish of more distant travel. Accordingly, after seeing the chief ' city of the Wechabites, and other parts of Arabia, he embarked at Bassorali, on board of an Engliih vessel, for Calcutta, during the time the Marquis of Wellesley was Governor-General of India. In British India, and particularly the Deccan, he spent three years ; when, proceeding to' Bombay, he learned that his Sovereign had made a tardy discovery of his in nocence, and, restoring him to favour, had sum moned him home. In 1809, by the influence of a surviving uncle, who was Minister of Finance; he was sent to England in quality of Ambassador, accompanied by M. Mo rier, who was at time Secretary of Embassy at the Court of Persia. In London he remained only seven months, when he returned to Persia along with Sir tie. Ousley, who was appointed our Minister to Persia. In his passage home, the vessel toucheclat Rio Ja neiro, and Abdoul Hassan was, perhaps, tjie first Per-: sian Ambassador that saw the New World. When he returned to hiSmaster, his.. services were requited with the title of 'Khmark ' s newmark ' s of confidence. He• Was employed to conclude . a peace with. Russia in 1813, and in the • following year proceeded as Am bassador to St. Petersburgh, whence he returned home after'a Stay Of - thtee years. The Ambassador 'is not only knownfor his diplomatic, services, but his literary attainments and elegant accomplishments. He is known to have cultivated learning with:distin guished success.
