AI+FAIRS CF PERSIA. Ault Po, APRIL co.—We have learnt here from au thentic correfpondence, that the troops which Fathali Shah marched againfl the Ruffians. to force them to raife the liege of Erivan, have entirely accompliffied their oh's& : the Ruffians were forced to renounce their enterptizes, and to fallback on Teffiis. We are affured they have 101 l many men in the different bat. ties which took place, and it appears that they will not try any more irruptions into the neighbouring provinces of Georgia, the bad fuccels of their arms would difcourage them. It is certain that their force has canfiderably diminifhed, being reduced at the ut most to feven or eight thoufand men, which are fcarcely fufficient to keep Georgia in obedience. On the other hand, the Georgians, difappointed in ' their hopes, and better informed of the real inten tions of the Ruffians, already feel the weight of their yoke, and regret that of the Perfians. The number of difcnnrented daily augment in the pro vince, and we expeet fooner or later to fee a general infurreSion. Fathali Shah has addreffed a circular letter to his fon, and to all the Governors of Provinces, announ cing the complete vi-tory which the Perfian arms have gained over thofe of Huta. The following is a tranflarion of this Circular, from which we could sot but retrench the metaphorical ornaments u&d in the prolix and pompous language of the Orientals, arid tranflate military terms according to European ufages : TRANSLATION OF THE CIRCULAR OF FATHALI SHAH, KING OF PERSIA, ADDRESSED TO HIS SON HUSSEIN KULI MIRLA, AT ICHRAN. " Augu it fruit of the Royal Tree, hloffomed grove of the Garden of the Empire, Hullein Kuli klirza, let it be known to you, that whilit our banners were floating triumphant in the plains of Sultacia, agi tated by the zephyrs of viaory, the public voice reaching the foot of our Throne, informed us that the Ruffian troops, which had previoufly taken the town of Tabs, had laid liege to Etivan. At the firli report of this new enterprife 4.f the enemy, our invin cible Cohorts, animated by a heroic courage, and in feired only by battles and vengeance, like clouds of vigorous eagics, fpreading the wings of diligence, put theanfelves fudienly in motion to go to the relief of that place, and to fave it from the danger by which it was threatened. As foon as the enemy's camp was pet ceived from afar at the foot of the ramparts at Erivan, the brave General who commanded our army gave orders to the Cavalry to charge fit it, and immediately afterwat ds made the company of cara biniers advance. The Ruffians at firft fulta:ned the fhock of our fquadrons ; but almost at the fame mo ment, the infantty having arrived, they could no longer refit ; and yielcing to the Perlian valour, they abandoned their polls, and tcok refuge in an old tvlufcitie at Come diflance, where they entrenched themfelves, after having had zoo men killed and wounded. _ _ Some days after this happy event, the enemy. flattering themfelves that the flar of fuccefs, by a mato , nal furpriie, might efface the darknefs of their fbame, came tofall at night upon our vidorious camp like bats that dare not quit their obfcure refidence but in the ahfence of the Sun. But our warriors, pro tamed by a fortune always vigilant. being warned of their fluent march, advanced boldly to meet them, and gave them a reception calculated to make them repent of their temerity. The aflion was warm and bloody ; and the Ruffians (icing themfelves broken at all quarters, fled in diforder, being purfued to their entrenchments, and leavirg upwards of nine hundred of their men upon the fi eld, of whom about the half had received mortal wounds, and the rell were made prifoners. a' While this was paffing, an &oil of three hun dred Georgians on h.:rfcback, who were conducting a confiderable convoy to the enemy's camp, were attacked on the road, and cut to pieces by a detach• ment s,f our army that had been fent to cut them off. The provifiuns were fazed, and more than one hun dred Georgians made prifoners ; the tea of the troop baying fallen in the action. 4 1 The Ruffian General having been informed that we had given to the valorous Pir-Kouli Kan Kiagar, our commiffion to go and re-eltablidh order in the province of Georgia, fent one of his Lieutenants againft him with 400 men, in order to fruflrate his objed, or at ieaft to retard him as much as poffible on his march. Our General was overtaken in the environs of Pelenk, where an obllinate battle took place ; but the Ruffians were dtfeated, and three hundred and fifty of them became food for the Per- Lin fables. After this viaory PisAthouli-Khan turned the reins of diligence towards a body of the enemy which was coming to join their army. Hay. ing joined, he charged them with vigour, and dif pet fed them like CIAI a featured by the wind. Their artillery. ammunition, and effeets, all fell into the hands of the vanqui(hers. " Impatient to complete the rout of the Ruffians. on the gth of this month we caufed to advance againtl them a chofen corps which we had hitherto kept in referee. As they had time to rally their forces, they thought themfelves able to face us, and waited our army with firmnefs. After tome little iltirmifhes, the at:lion became general and murderous. The &It who fignalized themfelves by their bravery, was the murqueteers, who,by their fmart and repeat. ed fires, mowed down a great number of the enemy. Our cavalry performed prodigies of valour, over throwing every thing which oppofed it. The Rut: flans (hewed themfelves intrepid, but they could not withfiand the Yranian impetuofity, they were rout. ed, and our troops made filch a dreadful carnage, that all the field of battle was firewed with their cats cafes. and wet with ftreams of their blood. " The two Chiefs who commanded, Lewid and Dergon, with many other officers of diftinftion, and 6000 men, were killed and wounded. This memorable vidory gained us 34. pieces of cannon, and many other objets of warlike ammtt niti n. of the Ruffians who efcaped, precipi tately abandoned their camp and baggage. and fled towards Georgia. But we have given the neceffary orders to puriue them, and we hope that they will footter or later meet with the fate they merit. " Winking to circulate incelrantly through our kingdom news of the general rout: of the enemy's army, and to publith the fplendid triumphs of our arms, we have difpatched couriers exprefs to all our Lieutenants and Governors of provinces, to enjoin them to caufe to be celebrated in their refpedive de• partments, by public rejoicings, and fulemn ads of grace, the figna. vidory which HEAVEN has accord ed us. " On the arrival of Mohammed•Hufein.Heg, of ficer of our guard, who will tranfmit you this, you will helm on your part, to fulfil exaftly our inten tions, which are to order, in our capital, public re joicings and prayers, which are to be continued for three cloys confecutively ; and you will take care that they than be accompanied with all the pomp and magnificence exacted by the circumilances and the place. Such is our fupreme will. (Signed) 44 FAT H ALT *IL " And fated with the Roil' Seal. The . . Chaban, ist9. LONDON.

It was underllood the final infiruaions to Lord NELSON and Sir SIDN f Y SM ITN were then adopted, previous to their proceeding to the com mands to which they have lately been appointed. Lord Islst.som lark night, after dining at his houfe at Merton, fet off for Portfmouth. He proceeds, it is fuppofed, 61 It to Cadiz on board the VICTORY. It is rather furprifing that no pofitive account is yet receiv ed that the blockade of that port is returned by the united fquadrons of Admiral Cowttcwoon and Sir R. Cainac, though it is very probable that the iota ligence to that effe& communicated by a neutral vet. fel is true. The naval part of the projeded expedition is com plete, and the embarkation of the troops is expetiled to take place immediately. Tranfports for the con veyance of 25,0c0 infantry are colleded in the Downs alone, and the number of cavalry under crders for embarkation, amounts to ten thoufand. This number exceeds fo much the ufual proportion of ca valry to infantry, that it is foppored a very great ad dition is intended to be made to the latter. A general conference of his Majefty's !knitters was yeflerday held for feveral hours, and difpatches, Paid to be of the utmott importance, were expelled ro be feat to the Continent at a late hour laR night. Amid(t all the warlike preparations now going for ward, a r.-§ rt has obtained circulation, that frefh overtures of accommodation have been made to the I French Government by the Cabinet of Vienna. We know not what foundation there may be for this Rate. ment ; and though we have been awed it originat ed in a refpeetable quarter, we confefs it wears a face that neceffarily excites doubts and forpicion in our mind. Upon a due confideratinn r.f all the cir cumftances. we continue firmly of opinion, that at war upon the Continent is unavoidable and certain. Captain COOKE, of the merchant fhip Emerald, bound from Antigua to 'London, one of the (hips taken and burnt by the Combined Squadrons of the Eaemy, is arrived in the BilltiliPE3. He'reports, that after his fhip was captured, he was put on board the Didon French frigate Once captured by the ?Kotula), and rent to Guadaloupe ; that when he was put on board the enemy's (hip, he was permitted to take with him nothing but his trunk, which was plundered of all it contained; and that one of the Lieutenants of the Didon took even his watch from his fob. Capt. Coo was fo fortunate as to efcape from Guadaloupe. and arrived foon after at Antigua, whence he obtained a paffage to England in the BataaDONS frigate, which fh p was appointed to convoy the fleets from the different Wands to Torto la, the place of general rendezvous. It will be a pleafure to our Readers to learn, that the grand Eat India fleet, which has arrived without being molefled by any of thofe hofiile fleets, one of the firft objefts of which was thought to be an attack upon it, was prepared to meet fuel an attack with a refitlance worthy of the charafter the Eaft India Company's Navy has acquired in the various reap:A ires it has had with the enemy ; but particularly in the gallant action in which tTbe China fleet, under Captain DANCE, beat off the French fleet command ed by LINOIS. Soon after its failing from St. Helena, the fleet that is now arrived, was informed by an American, that Several Squadrons of the enemy were at Sea, the detlinations of which were unknown. Im mediately on receiving this intelligence, Admiral Ramat iffued orders to all the (hips to be conftantly on the alert. The crews of the Indiamen were every day exercifed at the guns and fmall arms. The order of the line of battle was made out and diftributed, each clafs of Ships forming a diftina fquadron, of which the Bengal Ships, led by the Lady Jane Dun das, was to be the van, the China thipb the centre, and the Madras and Extra Ships the rear. With there difpofitions, and this vigilance and determination,' we are convinced that if this valuable fleet had been attacked, it would have come off with honour, and we cannot but think it entitled to the diem and gra-1 titude of the country, though there was no opportu nity for exercifing the gallantry it was fo well pre pared to difplay. The 12th of November is now (aid to be the time fixed upon for the meeting of PArlihment. The Right Hon. Ctrattess Logi? i* appointed to the office of Principal Secretary to the Lord Lieute nant of Ireland, in the room of Mr. Varrsirriar. ' The reported appointment of Mr. Celia tio to fuc ceed Lord Casresas.tcm, as Prefident of the Board of Controul, is not corral. No fuch arrangement has yet taken place. A matrimonial union is talked of in the Gra circles, between the Heir Apparent of the Duke of MEcIGLIN. Bottom STRaLITz, and their MAIRSTIRS fourth daugh ter, the Princelb MARY. At fix o'clock yeflerday evening Lord Haattowav fet off in his poft-chatiot and four, for Weymouth, for the purpofe of waiting on his Ma'am. Lady HARROWBY took an affeaionate farewell yet terday of her lifter, Lady Es.t.torr and family, ut Croon Hill, Blackheath, who Are on Monday to fat off for Madeira. The fAlowing notice was yellerday duck up at the Poll•O(fice : “General Poll-Office, Sept. 52. 1805. " Letters for Spain (except Gibraltar) can no longer be lent from hence through LUbon in the ordinary way; it Is, therefore, recommended to the writers to put their letter under cover to fame Carrefpondent at Liibon,' who will pay the Spanifh poltage, as the only means by which they are likely to be delivered." G. W. ERVING, Eiq. left town on Thurfday lafl for Rotterdam, on hi% way to Madrid, to which place he is accredited as Chars des Affaires of the United States of A.metica. The Dike of CLAIMIC4 left town_yeflerday for his feat at Buthy Pink. The Duke of GLouctsTra, after tranfaeling bufi nets in town yeftcr.tay morning, returned in the evening to dine with the D.uchefs and Prince; $o PHU, at their villa at Brompton. Atter dinner, his Royal Highnefs came to town, where he remained all night. The following article appears in the rimers Court Grur,ene of the 'ash ult.—.. An earthquake was very fentibly perceived at Eifenhartz, in Sti,ia, on the 24th of July. The firft (hock was obferved about i 5 minutes after fix in the morning; the lecond fnon after, and the third at ten minutes after ten. The was ferene,' apd without clouds, though the air was heavy, and of ditlicult refpiration. It was par ticularly remarked, that the fmoke of the chimnies beat to the ground inflead of afcending. At noon the north wind began to blow, which was fillmwed by a heavy rain, that continued till the next day." FIR Es.—Sunday morning i about five o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in a thatched tenement in Drygate-lane, Glafgow, which in a few minutes communicated to the adjoining honks fo rapidly did it fpread that a number of the people were fir& informed of it by the appearance of the flames, and with difficulty elcaped out of the windows, in their fhirts. On the &it alarm, the Magiffirates, Commit*. fioners, and Mailer cf Police, with a party of tbe 741 Regiment, attended. The engines belonging to the city, and to the Glafgow Fire Infurance office; were direeted to pay all their attention to prevent the fire from fpreading fill farther, as it was imp flible to lave the houfes in which it already raged. About nine o'clock it was entirely extingniffied, but not till lit had burned out 16 poor families. Much credit is, due in the neighbours for their exertions in fupplying the engines with water. No part of The premiles is lamed. The proprietors of the property, from in attention or thoughtleflbefri, had. after it had been infured for 3o years, in the Sun Fire'Ofice, allowed their Policy to expire nearly two years ago. Al o sut two o'clock on Monday a dreadful fire broke out in Mr. Hutton's dillillery, Mills of Mount Brown, near James's-ftreet, Dublin, which, after ra• ging for about an hour, was fortimatelY got under, in confequence of the' great fuoply of water, by means of cocks, &c. for the of l.f the ,i)nceritt., and the mill pond, which communicated to almoii all the engines. Mr. Guinnefs's engine, of 'l'htimas-ttreet, was infinite ferviCili'in Caving tbe entire premiles. DUELLING. In confegnence of a public rencontre in the fl ree a, a duel was to have taken place yellerday morning a t the Four Croffes on Wimbledon Common. The ie conds were punctual to their time. One of the prin cipals, however, forgot hit own *pin:a:mt. They are both Officers of the line; but we forbear mentioning names till all the circumfiances conneeted with thrs awkward bawds are properly authenticated. General Wsw, F L NT, jolt arrived from the Eat Indies, attended Lord Mt/weaves office yefterday, and had a long interview. The tfl (or Royal) Dragoons, now quartered at York, commanded by Lieut. Gen. GARTH, have re. ceived orders to hold thernfelves in readinefs to cm. bark on foreign fervice. In addition to the other regiments, which we em s . 'merated the other day, we underhand that an order has been received by the detachment of the King's Own Dragoons, now quartered at Birmingham bar. racks, to hold themfelves in readinefs for foreign fer. vice at a very {port notice. Yellerdiy at two o'clock, the id regiment of Royal Eaft India Volunteers marched into town from Maid hone, at which place they relieved the 11l regiment on permanent duty for twelve days. The Ready and foldier-lik; condua of the 3d regiment excited the admiration of the inhabitants of Maidflone, and the attention of the officers to the difcipline and com forts of their men, races on them tb higheti cre• dit. We lament to (peak of an intlanee, where the character of fo fine a body of men (bald be tinged by the conduit of one. Such, however, has been the cafe. A private belonging to the iff company, while on the march yefterday, was tried by a Court Mar. tial, for uttering improper expreffions I he was found guilty, and fentenced to receive so lathes. The pn. nifhment was ipflided war the Cadet's Barracks, on Woolwich Common % When he had received 33 Ilrokes in as lenient a manner as the cafe would ad mit of, he was fo flrongly impreffed with shame and remorfe at his conduit, that he fell in a fit. Colonel Roberts, by the advice of Mr. Beaufort, the Surgeon, ordered the reit of the punithment to be difpenfed wish. BRrcaps.—Thprfday the following Corps were brigaded in the London Fields, Hackney, by General the Earl of .H.ssa [Reyna, the Duke of Bedf Artificers, the Loyal Britons, the Shadwel , Paolar, Mile End, Shoteditch, Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Sr. Clement'. Danes, and Rotherhithe. The Earl of HAIaIIIGTON, accompanied by Lard BANBURY, Lard Parsasirat a s, General LEIGH, and a numerous Stiff of Officers, arrived on the ground at three o'clock, when the troops, about 1,700 in number, fainted, and afterwards went throngh the tiring and brigade move. meat. with tolerable precifson. As they paired in review order, with bands playing, &c. before the General, the fpedacle was truly pidurelque. A numerous airemblage of genteel fpedators were pre fent during the brigade, and the ground waa kept by a party of the Tower Hamlets Militia. The officer; of a brigade of Volunteers, in the me tropolis, have lately received official notice from the General commancling them, that the wearing of crape on the arm is to be always difpenfed with when wider arm:. On the 22d ult. fifty-three volunteers, from the ed battalion of the'BBth regiment, quartered at Dum fries, marched to join the tft battalion now encamped at Fairlight in Su ff ix. This is the third batch which has been fent for the ad battalion, fince the to of January laft, making in all a;o men, from limited to unlimited fervice. On Saturday IA the Camp at the Curragh of Kits dare entirely broke up. The whole of the troops, with the exception of a few regiments, marched to the fouthward. Tbey are to have a flying camp for two or three days at Maryborough, and from thence proceed to Ardtinan, where, report fays, they are to remain encamped for Come time. The Botany Bay Ihip, in which was Captain Dsvvsa and fome of his confederates, has failed from Co: k. Lieutenant Hewitt is appointed to command the Aatow fehooner, recently launched at Deptford. A Couit-Martial was held on Monday, on board the SA r.v A DOR Psi MUNDO, ig Gip. in Hamoaze. on the Boatfwain of the BAars.cva, on a charge of d&bedience of orders; but the charges not being proved,'he was acquitted, and reinttated in his rants in the navy. Captain Hita.occ, of the fhip Hannah, belonging to the port of London, was landed from a D-ver pilot bGat on Wednefday evening, which took hina up at Beachy Head. The Hannah has been thirty two months time the left the port of London. She failed with convias for Botany Bay, from whence the proceeded to the South Seas, and Wily to the coati of Peru. This fhip had been given over as lad long fence ; the Captain never having had any cpportunity of advifing his owners of his fafety ; the bad not half the complement of hands returning, with which the had gone cut ; Come of them having ran away at the different places the touched at ; and, what is very fingular in to long a voyage, the did not meet a fingle (hip of any defcription, during the eourfe of it home, until the zot into the Engli(h Channel.
