On the 4th of this month, the anniversary day of the Coronation of the Empress Catherine IF. the Emperor, at his own private expense, gave to, the inhabitants of Moscow, at eight o'clock in the evening, in the quarter of Laferte, a grand exhibition of fire works, at which the Imperial Family were present, in thebalcony of the Palace of the Count Golowin. The sky was serene, the weather warm, and the air perfectly calm. The distance from the Kremlin to the GolowinFalace being more than a German mile, it will not appear wonderful that, by two o'clock in the afternoon, all the streets leading to the latter were crowded with equipages, and persons on foot, pushing forward to obtsin good places. Some marquees were erected in the Pslace for the foreign Princes, Extraordinary Ambassadors, and Ministers.— Seats were also erected before the Police for the Corps Diplematique, on the right and lett of which were placed scaffolds for five thousand peoplo.

PARIS, OCTOBER 31. Ina public Journal of to-day, we read the follow ing article: " A letter from Brodi, in Galitzia, of date 13th October, 1826, received by a commercial house in fi Aria, contains the following paragraph : As I sup pose that the common fr iends I. R. and Co. were not ac quainted with the news of the Russian troops having passed the Pruth, I beg tb acquaint yon, that the torps of Gen. Wittgenstein really did pass that river on the 27th of September, (0.5.) which answers to our 9th October." , Ai hough die same news was in circulation on the Ex change, and although the Jew houses at Brodi, from their intimate connexion with Odessa, may have faci-, lities in receiving news from Bessarabia, we cannot believe that the passage of the Pruth took place at the date mentioned, but it is very possible that the order to pass should be sent from Moscow as soon as the Empe ror was informed of the pretended acceptance of the ultimatum, by which the Turks hope to gain time.

The Journal de St. Pdersburgh of the sth October, received this morning, has at length brought us ample and official accounts of the origin and progress . of the rupture between Russia and Persia. The following are the details; ST. PETERSBURG H, Ocrussa 4 (16). OFFICCAL ARTICLE. • The accounts received froin Major-General Prince Menzikoff, since his return to Tiflis, furnish ,bighlt interesting information respecting the ci rcu mst ances ' which induced the Court of Teheran suddenly to at tack Russia. • We annex these accounts as the Prince , has given them ; and if the declaration of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had not already proved that the aggression of the Persians is distinguished by a degree of injustice and perfidy, of which it would be difficult to find a more melancholy example, the following details would suffice to make Europe appreciate the generous frankness with which Russia has constantly acted to wards Persia, and the entirely foreign and deplorable causes which. have drawn the Schah into a war, at a moment, when on the one hand the most friendly po. licy, and on the other the great interests of his empire impdtiouily called on him to maintain peace. We have had occasion to announce, that after having been re ceived and treated with great respect at Tauris by Prince Abbas Mirza, had left that city to proceed to the camp of the Schah of Persia, at Sultanieh. On the road he was suddenly passed by Abbas Mirza, who proceeded thither with all possible speed. This unexpected joetney, the haste with which it was made, the reports of war with which it was accompanied, could not but strike Prince Menzikoff. In fact, when he reached Sultanieh, he found that war was resolved upon. We annex his dispatches.* SULTANIEH, Jinx 3 (15). The principal Minister of the Schah is Alair Khan, by birth a Kadjar, the son-in-law of his . Sovereign, and brother-in-law of Abbas Mirza, who has married his sister. He bears the title of Auefout-Dovli, which title was created for him. The other Mini4rs-are depend ent on him. and all the decisions of the Schah pass through his hands. • Prince Mere Lhasa couriers were popped by he Persian Go. •efitment, and he" could not send the series of his dispatches :in he i t easked Tres. - However, Alai 4r Khan's want of knowledge in basil: l ei s has obliged hiaho have recourse to the other Minister: in the transactions with Foreign Powers ; and they especially Mirza-Aboul, Hassan Khan, and Mirza. Abdoul-Wehab, have attempted to profit by this circus. stance, to rein him, by proving to the Sultan his inca. pacity, and offering at the same time to prove that this Minister had robbed the Exchequer of 80,000 tomes. The ruin of Alaiar Khan was *boat to be decided, when he found a resource in extreme measures. War afforded them. He joined with the Seid of Kerbelay, in whom he found a support. On the other hand, he sent foe Abbas Mime, who repaired full gallop to Sultanieh, to support his brother•in-law. The:Mollah preached a reli gious war, and inflamed the people ; and Aliar Khaa produced pretended petitions from the discontented in oar provinces, inviting the Persians to their assistance; and Abbas Mirza imisted on the opportunity for war. The Schah fearing his sons, the Mollahs and the people yielded, notwithstanding his aversion to war, and Alaiat Khan, is at the height of his power. The troops were ordered to march towards our fron tiers, and the appeal of the Mona]: to the people, was dispatched to all the provinces to be read in the mosques. All these resolutions were taken and executed during My journey from Tauris to Sultanieh, where I arrived under very unfavourable auspices. In these circum stances, the only useful end I can aim at is to gain time, that the authorities in Georgia may be able to repel the aggression, but I have little hope of protracting the negnciation *bout the frontiers ) for they are here resolved to continue it, Only for form's sake, to make extravagant pretensions, and to break it off when I reject what cannot be accep:ed. My arrival at Sultanieh has terminated the civilities of the Persians towards me. My tent is surrounded with guards, who prevent all communication. At the public audience which the Schah granted me, they affected not to pay me the honours which are usually shewn even to the Charges d'Affaires who reside at this Court, though the ceremony of my reception was regulated beforehand. According to this, the Schott was to take from my hands the Emperor's letter, ane I had the positive assurance twice repeated thit he would do so. Yet when I presented it to hiM he would not take it, but made a sign with his hand that I should lay it on a cushion. Now, according to the custom of the country, this was a want of respect to the Emperor. This proceeding war excused on the pretext of misunderstanding. All is done at the instigation of Abbas Mitza, who, always yielding to the impulse of the moment, wishes, in his warlike ardour, to push things to extremity. sth (I7).—This morning I had a conference with the members of the Schah, in which Alair Kban succeeded, and he alone spoke. He renewed strange pretensions, particularly insisting on the restot ation of the Coast of Lake Goktcha. opposed to this the letter of the Prince Royal to General Yermoloff, by which he consented to give tip this ceast to us in exchange for the tract betweet the Kapan and the Kapanaktchay. He answered that the Schah had neve!' given his consent or approbation to such an ex. 'change, and that it was inadmissible. I observed that this change of intention was not known to the Emperor when I left St. Petersbnrgh, and, conse quently, my instructions could not mention a fact of later date, but that I would immediately apply to my GUvernment for new orders. The Minister found nothing to object, and only said, that as the Schah was going to set out for Ardebil, I should be furnished with means to return to Tiflis, and the negociations might be continued in some frontier town, which should be agreed upon fur holding the conferences. The Prince Royal is gone this morning to assemble troops on our frontiers of Xarabag : he fancies himself already in possession of Tiflis, and dictating terms to Russia. Indulging in the most flattering hopes, his presumption is quite childish. He compares himself to Tamerlane and Nudir Schah. JULY 9th (27).—..The Prince Royal has sent a courier from Miana, to his brother-iulaw, Alaiar Khan, to desire him to save the appearances.of a first aggression. It has consequently been decided, in a meeting held at the Ministers, to propose some one to terminate the dif ferences respecting the frontiers, according to the stipu lations of the treaty of Ou%tan, giving them a meaning which I could not adopt. This resolution being adopted, Alaiar Khan trans- Initted to me the annexed note, passing over the propo- sal I had made him on the sth, and without mentioning the resumption of the negodiatlons in a frontier town, to which he had before assented. Mr answer is also enclosed (2). I have sent a copy to Aboul Hassan Khan, that he may communicate the contents to the Schab. Mr. Willock, the English Charge d'Affaires, came to see me this eveniog, and told me the Schah has sent to him, to ask him to speak to me on the means of avoid ing a rupture between the two States, and that he had chosen him, because he could mot trust any of his Minis ten, who were divided in opinions and interests:--. Mr; Willock added, he had charged himself with this message, not officially-, but from his personal wish to see the differences between Russia and Persia arranged, and that before entering on particular., he asked my pei mission to speak on the object of his visit. I answered that 1 received his proposal with infiaiu pleasure, and I assured him that the policy of the Ea peror was too frank and upright for me to conceal , my 1 proceedings from the a_g ent of an allied Power, and that I accepted his good offices without admitting his inter vention. After saying that this was his own meaning, and after a long discussion, he proposed to me to take wi.l) me to Tiflis a Persian negotiator, whose proceed. ings I should second, and who should endeavour to obtain from General Yermoloff the evacuation of the coast of the Goktcha during the next winter, which tumid be employed in arranging the points in dispute .expecting the frontiers. I
