PERSIA AND.TU.RICEW BAGDAD, JULY,3, 7, IX. . _ There are se, ious apprehensions of a fresh rupture be v een Persia and the Pacha of Bagdad. It is said that Abbas Mil za will not agree to the treaty of peace till .the Pacha has paid large sums of money which be demands of him. this is tiktrtg DANIA Patta on lays as nine% as poSsible`i nieantinie — troops are marching on hink!sidet.. - ..Sestetal battalibao: lave heft .sagdad;• taking the road to Cnrdistan.• • The Turks have taken possession of Solimania, which the Persians have ye.nntarily abandoned. It is sup posed they repent, .and want. to have it back again. It will be the centre of military operations, if war should break out between the two nations. - At present. everything is quiet in Bagdad and the en virons: nothing passes in Cardigan: the two partiez.are negptiating, and all differences will probably be anti-. cably adj.isted. Daond Pacha dislikes war, and in other things has great address. The Prince of Kermashah, his nearest neighbour, is not able of himself to give him any un easiness : and. with money, it is easy to divert the King of Persia from all thoughts. of war or invasion. It is very certain that Prince Abbas Mirza, at the head of an army of 20.000 or 25,000 men, has seized on a part of Curf 'tan. It is still said that the Persians act hotilely metely to obtain payment of the debt which they claim from Daout!, Pacha of Bagdad ; but as one incident may lead to another, apprehensions are still en tertained of a renewal of the war between the two nations. Meantime the Minister of War of Kenneshak, who . has come to this city on account of the removal'Of. the body of his late master, Prince Ali Mirza, is still at Bagdad, where he is treated as a friend by the Paclia and his Officers. THE ASHANTEES. • CAPE COAST CASTLE, JUNE 23i The enemy having advanced so close as to have.driven in our piquets, Captain Scott, his First Lieutenant, Mr. Rosenberg (a xoung officer no less deserving ,of our highest commendations), several of the other officers, with part of the crew, landed to assist in defending the Castle. At half-past two o'clock, p. m. the signal being made from the tower flanking the Castle that the enemy were on the advance, Colonel Sutherland immediately ordered the town to be set on fire, which was, we are happy to state, promptly executed, considering this to be one of the most salutary measures this active officer could have taken, thus ridding us of an abominable town, consisting of the most wretched, filthy hovelspos sible to be described, and which would have afforded cover to any enemy within 20 yards of the Castle. We are happy to state there were no accidents, the woinen and children having taken refuse in the Castle some hours previoui: the only regret is, that the unfortunate inhabitants are left houseless at rather an unseasonable time of the year, and that the enemy should have been ton wary to come within reach of our cannon. Our sole object is to entice them to attack the Castle: until we can get them in that humour, I fear we shalLuever give them a proper lesson. JULY 22.—0 n Sunday, July the Ilth,* Acting Ensign Gordon, commanding the advanced piquet to the N.N.E. of the Castle, 'observed - an enemy's piquet ad vancing, which he immediately attacked, and no sooner had they commenced fitins, than the whole Asbantee force moved forward. Ensign Gordon was in a critical situation, when Lieutenant Svanzey brought his s Party up to their suppoit, and with that determined bravery which has at all times marked his conduct, dashed into the thickest of the fight, when a ball passing through his head, we have to lament, ended his mortal career. , Immediately he fell, a body of the enemy, with that brutal ferocity which so peculiarly distinguishes this sa vage tribe, made a rush, in the hope of obtaining his bead, but were direfully disappointed by the gallantry of Ensign Gordon and his party, who, though they had to contend with infinite odds, maintained the fight most manfully and undismayed, and ultimately had the sa tisfaction of seeing the body of his friend borne off by some of his own followers. The action had now be come s eneral , with all our posts to the eastward; but expecting the enemy would attack in three points, it was not deemed• prudent to call the attention of the whole of our fbice in that ditection, more especially as the fight was so well Maintained. The action, which commerced at three in the afternoon, was not finished until they could no longer see each other, when the A►hantees were glad to retire under the cover of night. Every praise is due to Sir John Phillimoi e, who im mediately landed with the greater part of the ship's company, who were actively employed getting field pieces into positions most likely to bear on the enemy, having one already on a height from which.one or two sell directed shots, fired by Lieutenant Scott, com mander of his M.ijesty's brig Swinger, had an excellent effect on the tor.* We regret• . the loss of Colonel Suthei land, who has embarked in the Thetis, for Eng land, being succeeded in the Government by Lieutenant- Colonel Grant. . Commodote Bullen arrived here on the 21st from a , cruise, and we regret to state, lost Mr. —, Assistant' Surgeon, and eight men, hiving been upset in one of the boats on the bar of Bonny River. It was with the greatest difficulty Lieutenant Clarkson and the remain der of the boat's crew weie saved . by the other boats that ' were in company. • Since the action the enemy have acknowledged that they lost between five and six hundred on that day. A great number of their wounded have been carried into Elmina. Our• Joss was corn paratively small. I have not yet learnt how many wsre killed, but I believe not above I:fty. GREECE. FLOM.L . ETOILE, DATED SEPT 30. PARIS, SEPT. 29.. The landing cf the Capitan P.,cha at Samos, and the Egyptian expedition against the Mures, will probably decide the fate of this campaign, if not of the whole War. We tremble when we tecollect that the Capitan himseUltas appeared discontented with the great as semblage troops on the coast of Natolia,, it not being his intention to burn Samos, and still less to deliver it up to these barbatians. Ever since the 30th July, an assemblage of considerable forces has been forming without intermissioa,.•tthd the Capital' Paella will. be compelled to take the island by strum.. On the Sth of August the To, kish fleet, consisting of 133 vessels, Sailed for the Channel.' f Scio, probably- intending to proceed to Samos. Meantime Athens is invested by six or 7000 'Turks, including, 400 hoax, whO ravage the' country, acid advat,ce to the walk of the citadel; it is in a gond state of defence, and has a garrison of 4 : 00 men, commanded by Goura, the G.)vetnor ; it has pto visions for three years. The Greek Governor, in his sallies, kills and takes .prisoneri some turks who yea re into the city. . On the 26th of July there was a serious action sear Salons, in: which the Greeks lost 23 standards and 3 can inn; ,the Turks lost 400 men. Accoonts 'from Sala ;pine say that the Turkish forces in that part of the \lO - do not exceed 14,000 or 15,000 men, including those ,rs'Pons.. -~- . - - TheGree Its, being informed that the army of Ibrahint Pacha is on its way_te Macro . and Rhodes,.have_ put. its motion ail their marine-to surprise it in its progress. It is thought that- Ibrahim is going against Hydra and Spezzia, the karilions_ of which have been rein forced by Greek Albanians,*ind troops from .the island Skyathos, whichhave . bee . is brought b y on board eight of his vessels. _ . The Greek squadron it anchor before Hydra received, on the 7th Of August, three Months pay.. 'This explains why on the Bth there were no Greek vessels off Sams, towards which the -Capitan Pacha was steering. It has been resolved at Samos, if the Turks should in-, vest the island too closely, tb hoist 'at every point the English flag, anti to claim the Support of that Power. The loah contracted at Lon Zion has been entirely paid., The Egyptian fleet-was under sail on the 11th oil August, between Macri and Rhodes. It is composed 'of nine frigates', fourteen three-Masted corvettes, forty brigs or schooners, and aboin 250 merchantmen of all nations, almost all European, but no French. The transports have art immense 'materiel and provisions, and a corps Of about 18,000 troops of the Ike, armed, Organised, and trained in the European fashion: These 18,000 men consists of four regiments of the line, ofl 4,500 men eacb.; .a-chosen corps seriring as - the private' guard of the Prince, and a small number of- horsemen. They are supported by a large train of field .aytillery., Several European Officers *command these regiments. One of them is commanded by an Aide-de-Canip.of a General of Bonaparte, who has turned ' Mahometan since he:entered the service * of Melt met • Pacha ; he has the title of -Colonel, and bas embarked'On - Ward the Don frigate with the Pacha. Some persons think that the army is proceeding against- Hydra, Spezzia, and Napoli di Romania; others say against Modon and Comm. It is observed, that in the slow progress of the Turk ish armament, the vessels occupy an Immense extent; but not being protected by the ship -of war, the expe dition would suffer great loss; if attacked by some Greek divisions. ! • On the evening of the 12th, the whole Egyptian fleet was off the Isle of Rhodes. It was on Thursday, the 19th, that the Capitan Pa eba was to commence his operations against Samos. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAZVSaIt 2, 1824.

Consols for Acct. 955,4 Dispatches were received this forenoon at the Colonial Office, Downing-street, from Sierra Leone, dated the 26th August, but they contain no intelligence of im portance. The French Papers of fhursday contain a:Royal Or donnanee, which is abundantly calculated to increase the popularity of Cum/Las the TENTH—the Censorship is abolished, and the Public Journals. are restored to their freedom and the necessary responsibility. When M. de VILLELE put the Press. under a rigorous censorship, it was thought to have had for its principal object the restraining M. de CHATEAVERIAND from assailing the Ministry. through the medium of the Public Journals, several of Which were in his interest. There'is f ever, reason now to believe, that the precarious, state, of the late KING'S health was the .read cause Of the Censorship. A writer in 3 ,periodical, which rarely meddles with ' politics, the Literary Gazette of last Saturday, alluding to the dangerous state of the KING'S health previous to the Censorship, has the following remarks :—" As the malcontents had Icing calculated.on the Royal demise, for an insurrection, it was thought advisable to take every means of concealing the - state of his 1,4t 1 acsTy's health; and .for this purpose the Censorship of the Journals was revived,' so that nninteßigetiCe Of, the kind could reach the Piovipcgs: . :And as tiffs decease was shortly anticipated, the genius 4144 deVtocasat suggested the idea of Making the principal changes ne cessarily conseqtientlon: , a ..new . the ' old one.".. The - writerf *Rh hoivevei, we differ: on some points, appears. to be well acquainted with French politics, for he fOresasi - the measures which, the lEttgor has so recently adopted, " CHAnuts says .he, ‘‘..willaiake few political changes; save to recompense tile zeal, fidelity, and constant friendship of the com panions of his exile; and that he is no friend to abso 7 lute poser will be evident, from:the suppression of the i;ensot ship, which-will be taken off almost immediately." .This - assertion, has been viri“,aird glad•not only to see the French Press relieved fiat theincubus )f a Censorship, but we are gratified to find that the( beginning of the reign of CHARLiS X. has been distin guished by.vaiious acts of clemency. , The French con-_ spirators, on whom the axe of the guillotine would pto bably have fallen, or the penalty of death been cobs muted for imprisonment for life, have now no lodger to dread that fate, and 'the lEttrch we understand, ib : willing . to extend hit Clemency to the French refugees In Entlind, • who went to Spain 'in order to resist the invasion of that country, and the arms of France. All • the Kum require; is, that they should exhibit Marks. of, repentance, and solicit their pardon. • This is' ixit-Only an act of clemency, but it Is at the l same time .a; proof that his •M-AJIISTY feels himself too firmly seated on the throne, to :fear any attempt of his enemies.

M. de Chateaubriaad was seen to have the most flatter's reception from his Majesty ; M. Casimir Perrier, • vited to wait on the Monarch in his`quility of Member of the Opposition, has also been treated with much attention. All the words of the Prince chewed a desire to see all political animo sities cease; but it was necessary. to destroy one of the causes' which the most contributed to cherish them. The establishment of the Censorship had . alienated a: great part of the nation. To Maintain it would have been hindering for a long time the fusion of parties, and suffering an Obstacle to subsist to all re- conciliations, or at last arrangements between the par. tiaans of the present Ministry and the various classes of the OppOsition ; which this Ministry had 'created by the' COOduct it had adopted.
