R USSIA. PETERSBURG'', JULY s. • Under the lucky aufpices of the re-eltablifhtnent of goodintelligence between this country and Great Britain, which the aaive exertions of Lord Sr. Ha Ca' i have fo happily acconiplifhed, commerce is daily rifingl , om the languor which, during the Litter period of Ps tres adminlaration, had totally cxtinguillied all mercantile fpirit. -The port of Croniladt is again opened, and numerous arrivals from the German flares of the Baltic have already occurred. The wails releafed from embargo are returning homely-era evety day ; the want df'hands to na vigate them detains many others. The Swedes and Danes,who compofed a part of their former crews, • all returned borne when the fire detention occur , reds and of the F-itglifh, feveral have fallen vic tims to the . harelfhips .and fatigue of their . former arbitrary captivity. To obviate this aggravated Rate of difafter. the Commanders of his IWajelly's fleet in the Baltic have, with a very confiderate attention to the commercial interefts of their coun try, difpatched a number of feamen to di (tribute among the various !hips at Cronftadt, and navi gate them back to England. They arrived on Sunday eat in the COURIER cutter, which now lies ill the Roads, alongfide the nglifh frigate LA TON*, and in, the midft of the whole-Rufan naval forces of the Baltic, amounting to near forty fail, including, atnimgft many fine firil rates, two Al pert, !hips of 120 guns, and a number of fmall vef fels, the whole forming, with the immenfe floating batteries, and other fortifications, which had been mired during the winter, one of the moft grand and formidable fpeftacles which fo confined a chan nel could admit of. Some fenfation has juft been felt here by the fuel den difmiffal from Pererfburgh of the Governor- General of Livonia ' who has been ordered away with all his fuite. He was a Nobleman hitherto poiliffed of much influence, and his difgrace is fup pofed to originate with the Late Emperor's widow: A dreadf ul conflagration having dellroyed houfes in the town of Belew, province of Tula, his In 'tau!. Mijarry,whofe humanity and compla. cence are the theme of general admiration, has ifs fued an Ukafe, ordering the Government of that diftrift to advance to the unfortunate fufferers a loan of 21,000 rubles for so years, free of all intereft, appointing Adminiftrators to fuperintend the equitable diftribution of this benevolent affif lance. Great preparations are making to celebrate the • Coronation of tht Emperor ALEXANDER, at Mof. cow, on the 22d of September next, with all ima ginable „. fplendour.

" In a former letter I mentioned to you the Em baffy having left Abu Shiher, commonly called Buthire, for this place; we travelled in the moft fplendid flyle with refpeft to our equipment and attendants, and were treated with the utmoft at tention and refpea throughout the whole of our Sourneell. The different Governors of the refpeftive provinces through which our route lay, came nut to receive and welcome the Envoy, conditaing him to his tents, undet'a continued difcharge of fire-arms, with a grand difplay of military evolu • titans- The early part of our journey proved ex . tremely unpleafant on account of the exceftive heat, until we arrived at Cazeroon ; having then palled, or rather afcended two ranges of exceeding high mountains, 'we experienced a very fenfible altera tion in the climate. We halted at Cazeroon ten diyi after our fatigue, regaling ourfelves with plenty of different ices, great quantities of (now being brought from the furrounding mountains. " On our leaving Cazeroon, we afcended two more ranges of mountains, before we reached Shi raz, with the fight of which we were at length gra tified on the teth of June. Captain MALCOLM, the Envoy, made his public entry the following day, and was received with the higheft and moft flattering diltinEtion. Five Noblemen of the higher order, attended by a retinue of upwards of a thou find horfe, came out to receive him, welcome him on his arrival, and conduit him to where his tents had been pitched. *hich was on a lofty terrace, under the walls of the garden, called Jehan Noma, and within a few hundred yards of the tomb of the celebrated Hafiz ; and the ftream of Rochna had, fo famed in 11:1 poems, does us the honour ol running through our camp ; it is at prefent not a very mighty Bream, being no more than two feet wide, but the pnrenefs of its waters juftly &- terve all the praifes they have received. The bower of Mofeila is alto clofe at hand, but which has fuf fered from time, nothing now remaining of that foimerly much-admired place, but the ruins of an old brick wall. • Our Ray here has altogether been extremely, plea? het . particatarly the latter part of oar time; the firil fit weeks we were continually entertained with fealting, feats in wreftling, rope-dancing, and fire-works. Soon after our arrival we quitted our tents, and took up our refidence in a Palace, faint ed in the centre of the delightful garden of the Jehan Noma. Since our arrival we have Peen the panics REGENT two or three times; he is a very handfome'boy of about twelve years old. I fop pole our flay at this place will not now exceed eight or ten days. when we 'hall begin our journey to Ifpahan, "from whence you may ag ain expert to hear from me. I proles I cannot help feeling a particular 4egree of veneration for the place we are now in, and conceive dist I NU treading claf tic ground." • .• . • Vrahaa: 8 4 601 4 4 P " 'Agreeable to my promife, I trade* you. a (hurt 'account of our journey from Shim to thui place.

On our way from Shiraz we vifited the ruins of the once celebrated city of Perfepolis, but as we only continued there one day, we had but a very curfory xiew of it, yet Rill fufficient to forcibly imprefs on the mind an idea of its former grandeur. Our reception at Ifpahan was truly magtuficcnt ; the Beglerbeg's brother and fon, at tended by nearly ten thoufand troops, marched out the dillance of eight miles to meet us, and if I may be permitted to judge from appearances, there muft have been not lefs than thirty thoufand fpec. tators affembled together to witnefs the novelty of fuch a fight. We have not yet paid a viGt to the city, but it feems to be of immenfe extent, and its whole appearance denotes the capital of a great and extenfive empire. One of the Palaces of the Seffeiran Monarchs is fitted up fOr our reception, and we (hall take poffeifiou of it to-morrow or next day; at prefent we amencamped on the banks of the river 2ainderood, to the weftward of the city. The Beglerbeg, thy , Mahomed Huffain Khan, has juft . paid us a vit a;, he is a remarkable pleafant old man, Paid to be extremely rich, and made an elegant and fhowy 8/ipeetance in his drefs and equipage.

From the moment of his departure, difpatches were hourly looked for by every perfon, as no one en tertained a doubt of his foon giving a good account of the enemy's armaments. It certainly is a fin gular fpedacle to behold thofe who threatened to invade us with a naval armament, not only block ed up in their ports, and cut off from all commu nication along their own coat, except by Realth, but in danger of being vifited by a force fufficient to delltoy them. In fad, before this time their fquadron at Bou logne is probably annihilated. It is known that Earl ST. VINCENT, when Lord Net.soe waited upon him to take leave, addreffed him thus: .

We (hall not hazard conjeaure of any kind refpeaing the iffue, as a few hours mull bring difpatches from Lord Nils son. Indeed, difpatches were received from his Lordihip this morning, but whether the aaion had terminated when he fent them off, we have not learnt.
