This island is one of the finest in the Persian Gulf near to -rabian coast, and covered with villages and plantations of dates.

The king of Persia has strongly recommended to the Arab Sheiks and the Iman of Muscat, not to allow the occupa tion of the island of Bahrein by the Infidels, and promised powerfully to support the measure they may adopt for the purpose. A division of the Per sian army has lately really besieged Herat, or He raut, the capital of South Khorasan.

Great exertion was made yesterday to recover them ; the Broker connected with the Chancery Court made a purchase of Stock amounting to £196,000 money ; but the Bears were determined to persevere, and the patty sold immensely against ' this purchase, and have continued to sell largely thi, day. The Commissioners, this morning, were served at 76, by the jobbers generally. The prevailing opi nion is, that Stocks will be lower by the Account-day, which is on the 26th instant. The following is an Extract of a Letter which has been received this morning at LLOYD'S, from the Agent at Barbadoes, dated July 5 : " By the arrival of a schooner from St. Thomas's, information has been received of the Spaniards having taken possession of the brig Eclipse, WORNINCTON, of this plane, which vessel sailed from this for St. Domingo a few weeks ago. Captain WORMnia- TON had been taken up to the city of St. Domingo, thrown into a dungeon, and loaded with heavy irons, the brig dismantled, and the whole of the crew put in confinemmit. The plea for this outrageous insult to the British Flag ia, that they found two guns mounted on the deck, and six or eight dismounted in the hold, as tralLst, and therefore concluded she was an Insutgent privateer.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrive 3 at a late hour this forenoon. The Duchess of ORLEANS was on Friday delivered of a third son, who has received the namo of PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. Fire per Cents. Friday, 78 fr. 40 c. The state of affairs in the Brazils, according to Private Letters which have been received, dated the 7th of May, is become somewhat feverish and unsettled. A Proclamation was issued on the 30th of March against Secret Societies, lest, as it was presumed, they might be converted into instru ments for hatching conspiracies against the Govern mvnt. drawn upon the Treasury by the chief milltary commanders bore a discount of six per cent. though upwards of four months due; and those not yet due were at fifteen per cent. discount. The prac ticability of retaining Monte Video was a qUestion of much solicitude at Court. We add, on this subject, the following extract of a private letter from Buenos Ayres, dated the 24th of April: " The situation of Buenos Ayres with respect to the Govern- , orient of the Brazils puzzles the Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, because they erroneously suppose deep laid sehmses,' when the real intentions of all parties are sufficiently plain and natural. The Cabinet of Rio de Janeiro, true to its new system of aggrandizement in the New Werid, avails itself of the plau sibk unfounded pretence of incursions into her territories by the adherents of Artlgas, to take possession of the fortress of Monte Video, and of the country on the left bank of the river de la Plata—objects which were coveted by Portugal from the earliest times. On the other hand, Spain, ever tenacious of her rights, protests against this encroachment on what she calls her possessions, although they were already lost to her, and endea vours, by meats. of her Allies in Europe, to have them returned to her; by which she would of course be put in a better situa tion than before, because the Portuguese would have done for her what she herself was unable to accomplish, although it Is more than doubtful that she could even retain them. As to the Government of Buenos Ayres, it certainly was placed in a vcr, critical situation ; the other side of the River, together with Monte Videt., arc necessary to the union, and ought sooner or later to be incorporated in it. " The conduct of Artlgas has been most reprehensible, and has dornc infinite mischief to the common cause of independence ; yet whatever line of policy the Government of Buenos Ayres' might adopt, none was free of objections and difficulties. If it openly and effectually joined Artlgas, it would draw on itself the hostility of the Portuguese, at a time when all its resources were wanted in Chili and Upper Peru ; but even if the resist ance of the Portuguese should be successful, and the left: bank of the river be protected from their aggression, Artigas would still keep aloof from the union, and remain its implacable enemy to the utmost extent of his power. It could not, in conjunction With the Portuguese, turn its arms against Artigas, because it would have been contrary to popular feeling, in which the affec tion for countrymen still preponderates, and by assisting the ex tension of the Brazilian frontier to within sight of Buenos Ayres, a neighbour more formidable and troublesome than even Mil i eu would be established. " Under these the Govern:melt of Buenas Ayres resolved to steer a middle course, wLich certainly L•td fie good effect of preventing a rupture with the Fort aad leaving it at liberty to give its undivided attention to the affairs in Chili and Peru." The late Mr. ARBUTHNOT is thus described by the Editor of the Dublin Journal, from a personal know ledge of that unfortunate 'Oecitleman ARBUTH NOT was an amiable man, but the child of Misfor tune. At an early age, he became an orphan—his father was drowned, and his mother died in a mad house ; and now, in the prime of life, he has fallen a victim to Injustice!" Matters are managed otherwise in Europe.—Not long ago, the Austrian Baron, SINIBSCHEN, Colonel of a Regiment, and Knight of the Order of Maria Theresa, was accused by the Turks with having sup plied arms to the Servians, to aid them in what was deemed their rebellion against the Turkish Govern ment. The Porte presented a complaint against the Baron to his own Government, by whose direction the Baron was tried by a Council of War, found guilty, and condemned to lose all his employments. The unfortunate Mr. ARBUTHNOT, for doing a simi lar service to the Seminoles, but not for a similar purpose, was seized by the Americans, and, without any repfesenfation to the Government whose subject he was, tried, convicted, and executed. The Ameri cans were at once his accusers, judges, and execu tioners ! The contrast does not stop here. Baron Stmas- CHEN appealed for a revision of his sentence—that sentence was revised, was found unjust, and was an nulled—and the Baron has, within these few months, been reinstated by the EMPrROR in all his places and dignities. 111-fated ARBUTHNOT! //is sentence was carried into instant execution ; he was allowed no opportunity of appeal ; his Country may vindicate his memory, but nese; can it restore him to that life of gay hope and aspiring promise, in the midst of which he was so precipitately and cruelly cut off'. It appears by late intelligence from tho West Indies that it is not true that an embargo was la:d on the shipping at Porto Rico, in consequence of the cap ture of Pensacola by the American troops, as a mat ter of precaution by the Spanish Governor ; but it turns out to have been imposed owing to an expected attack from the Patriots, against whom a vigorous deferca :vas to be made, and the militia of the island had been called out to do duty, in case of need. The embargo, we understand, commenced on the 10th of Jura. and was to he continued six weeks. There were about six or eight American trading ships de tained with those of other nations. An article, which we have inserted, of rather an inte;zsting complexion, dated Naples, 16th ult. expa tiates on the benefits derived to that Kingdom from the monetary system recently estal lisped by Royal Or:fir-Ince, under which the Silver coin has become the standard of value, to the exclusion, or rather in disregard, of Gold, which elsewhere operates as the standard. The Neapolitan writer aliedges, that, in consequence of this enlightened r olicy, the Royal Mint is overran with bullion in such quantities. that it cannot be coined in time to meet the multiplied demands for specie. The account of the state of the ClvaEN yesterday was—" ller MAJESTY continues much the same— Her MAJESTY was in a very composed state during Sunday. The operation undergone by the QUEEN is not that which is common in cages of dropsy. Incisions, we understand, have been mad: in her MAJESTY'S arms, which :at: treated in a way wvil known; and by these she has been relieved. The PRINCE Iteccxr slept at the Stud House, Hampton Court, on Sunday night. The symptoms of gout felt by the PRINCE REGENT have gone otf, after detaining his Royal Highness only two days from his visits to Kew. Should the QVEEN'S health continue to improve, the REGENT will still make a naval excursion in the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, which remains at Spithead, waiting for orders. Prince LEOPOLD arrived at Dover on Saturday evening, and immediately embarked on board the Yacht which was waiting for him in the Roads, un der a salute from the batteries. He was cheered re peatedly by the populace, and all seemed to feel sor row and regret at his departure. It is stated that Lord MELVILLE is to succeed the Marquis of HASTINGS as Governor-General of India; that the Earl of MULGRAVE is to be First Lord of the Admiralty ; and the Duke of WELLINGTON Mas ter-General of the Ordnance. The Board for the Investigation of the Claims of British Subjects on the Government of France, which has been established at Paris since the year 1814, is now transferred to London. The Commissioners oc cupy the house in Parliament -street, which was lately the Transport Office. Saturday se'nnight the Grand Duke MICHAEL ar rived at Stirling, and, with his suite, visited the Castle, where he was received in a manner due to his rank. He inspected the Palace and barracks attentively, and expressed himself much pleased with the windings of the Forth and the surrounding scenery. His Impe rial Highness, with his suite, then set out for Drum mond Castle, rested there that night, arrived at Perth next day, and on the Monday the Provost and Ma gistrates presented him with the Freedom of that City: after which his Imperial Highness set off with his suite on a visit to the Duke of ATIIOL.— His Grace has the most magnificent sporting establishment in Scotland, the moors and forests abound not only in the Vack cock, grouse, and ptar migan, but in the finest deer and roe in their wild state. He has also a numerous corps of Foresters and Game-keepers, who are clothed in a green unikrm, and when they are called out " to drive the deer "with hound and horn," nothing can be more s t r iki ng land picturesque than their appearance in the beautt. ful and romantic country which :hey trAvcrse.
