HAMBURGH, OCTOBER FL Teheran, the mode of conduct which was best calculated to convince the ScNah, his heir, and his Ministers, that Russia had no thought whatever of conquest, that it wished only for repose, and required nothing but the execution of the treaties. They enjoined all the Rus sian authorities to observe the most conciliatory con duct, and avoid all measures which would tend to give to Persia just grounds for suspicion or complaint,. Lastly, in the difference which had arisen between the two States, because Persia, after the cessation of hosti lities, had occupied a tract of country between the rivers of Tschuduw and Kapanaktschay, which by the treaty of Gulistan, was expressly as' igned to Russia; and be cause, on the other hand, Russia had placed posts on a strip of country, which divides to the North West, the waters of Lake Goktscha from the mountains that run along it, the Emperor Alexander, far from disputing the tights of Persia, on this point, required no more for giving it up, than ilia the district belonging to him should be given up at the same time; or he proposed to exchange this rich and fertile tract for that bank of the Goktscha, which is of far less importance, and whose dry and poor soil offered.no currkpensittion but the vi cinity of the lake. A project of demarcation, conform able to these proposals, was presented to the Per sian Court. ARMY CONTRACTS. TREASURY CH4MWERS, Cununissariat Department, Oct. 3, 1826.

M. WALLER CLIFTON. MEXICO. Our readers already know, that the Plenipotentiaries of the new States of America, who formed the Congress of Panama, bad transferred their conferences from Pa nama to Mexico. The following Gazette Eztraordinary of the Goternment of Mexico, with a copy of which we have been favoured, contains the latest intelligence respecting the movements and proceedings of these august personages. 4 , MEXICO, Amon 19. de The official document which we publish by order of the President, makes known to us the most glorious Political event which posterity can celebrate in the annals of the new American States, which, bound together by the indissoluble ties of fraternity, met in the famous as sembly of Panama to support their independence against their ancient oppressors. Blessed be PROVIDENCE, which has deigned to shed on them, so copiously, its benefits ; praise, and immortal renown to the enlightened, zealous, active and patriotic Plenipotentiaries of that assembly, who have fulfilled so successfully the lofty, grave, and important object of their mission, and to the Govern ments of the States which sent their representatives, and which shewed such wisdom in their selection. 66 LEGATION OF MEXICO IN THE CONGRESS OF THE NEW AMERICAN STATES.

The Manifesto fills several pages. At the same time, we have received the following accounts, dated the 7th of September, of victories gained by the Russians on the frontiers of Persia Major General Pr ince Ma daton attacked the Persians on the 2d September, who occupied a strong position on the right bank of the river Chamhora. The enemy had 2000 regular in fantry, eight pieces of cannon, twenty falconets carried by camels, and 8000 cavalry. Mehmed Mirza, son of Prince Abbas Mirz and grandson of the Emperor, - as well as the Sardar A. Mircham, brother of the Emperor, and other Persians, great men, were at the head of them. The advance of our army was given notice of at a dis tance by the outposts of the enemy, who were drawn up in order of battle, and awaited our approach. 'The fire of four Persian cannon, accompanied by musketry, was pretty violent ; but some artillery placed in a battery on our side soon silenced the guns of the enemy. Our ar tillery was especially directed against the enemy's cavalry, which soon followed the example of the Com mander, Mehmed Mirza, who sought safety in flight. The Persian infantry was thus deprived of its support, and our cavalry, consisting of 800 Cossacks, the Georgian Militia, and some Tartars from the district of Kazasch, pursued the fugitives briskly, and cut off their retreat. Terror and confusion seized the Persians— they made but a faint resistance, and were pursued for ten versts. The enemy lost in this engagement two cannon, and above 1000 men were left on the field of battle. We took one cannon, eleven falconets, and se veral powder waggons. After these advantages, Major Gen. Prince Madaton advanced to Elizabethpol, which he took without opposition on the 4th of September; but though this advance after the victory at Chamhora was made with incredible rapidity, 1500 Persian infantry, who were in the citadel, succeeded in leaving it before our troops arrived. The enemy not only did not halt under the walls of the city, but were even seen to fly in the greatest disorder to the other bank of the Zeyva, beyond E l izabethpol. Our cavalry, which advanced 20 versts, did not meet with a single Persian. At Eliza bethpol we took possession of the enemy's camp, with large magazines of provisions. In the citadel we 'found great quantities of flour, powder, and lead. General Yermaloff adds to these accounts that Mahometans and Armenians bad already arrived from Karabascb, who affirm that since the appearance of the Russian troops the inhabitants of thole parts were become sensible of their treason, and are ready to atone for it by imme diate submission. On this intelligence Gen. Yermaloff ordered the Adjutant General Paskewitch to effect, as soon as possible, his junction with Major Gets. Prince Madaton, and to march to Karabasch." RUSSIAN DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST PERSIA. The doubts which Russia entertained respecting the nature of a sudden and unjust attack are now removed. For a whole month, Russia was willing to consider it as impossible that the Sovereign of Persia, in a time of profound peace, and in the midst of an amicable nego- 1 ciation, should, without any ground of serious differ ence, nay, even without a pretext for complaints, and without any previous declaration, have ordered his troops to invade the Russian territory, and at the same time to make it the theatre of insurrection and war.— This opinion, however natural, was a mistake. It is not one of the barbarous tribes dwelling on our frontiers, that has unexpectedly invaded them, as Russia, in its moderation and good-will supposed —no, it is the Per sian army itself that has attacked our posts, and ad vanced towards the interior of our frontier provinces.' Nor is it a restless Chief who, in spite of the command of the Schah, leads them on ; it is his own son, the pre sumptive Heir of his Throne, that directs this invasion, and accompanies it with invitations to revolt. Com pelled to oppose force to force, and war to war, Russia would consider it as a duty to refute, in the presence of Europe, the accusations upon which Persia founded the' nccessity of these extraordinary measures, if it were ac quainted with the grievances of that State, or could even divine them. But though Russia is ignorant of the causes of the contest which must be now decided by arms, it will, however, confining itself to a sketch of its relations to the Government by which it is attacked, spew whether it had reason to expect such a breach of treaties, and of all the principles of the law of nations. At the time when memorable triumphs crowned that noble Alliance which saved the European Conti nent, and gave peace to the world, it had pleased DI.. VINE PROVIDENCE to bless the efforts of Russia in its contest with Persia. Several Persian provinces were conquered by the Russian armies, and as, in consequence of their victories, Persia had solicited peace, a conven tion between the two Powers was signed at Gulistan on the 12th October, 1813. It stipulated, on the principle of the Status quo ad pnesentent, the state of the posses sions of both parties, and imposed upon Russia only two essential obligations towards the Court of Teheran, viz. To recognize as the lawful heir to the Persian throne, that son of the Schah whom he should himself appoint as his heir, and, in concert with Persian Commissioners, to settle the new demarcation of the frontiers which were assigned, by the treaty of GuListon, to the pro vinces which were annexed to the Russian Empire:— The first of these obligations was most punctually per formed by Russia, and as soon as the Cabinet of St Petersburgh learned that Feth• Aly had designated his son, Abbas Mirza, for his successor, he hastened to re cognize his rights as presumptive heir, with which his father's decision invested him. The second has given rise to some diflizulties, and the principal was not yet removed, when Russia had the misfortune to lose the gteat Prince, who had carried to so high a pitch its prosperity and its glory. Meantime, the negociation which related to the more important difficulties, gave continued proofs of the moderation and frankness which chAracter:zed the policy of the Emperor Alexander. Its conformity with his orders, the system of peace, liiendship, and reciprocal good-will, which his Cabinet observed towards all Foreign Powers, should be also ex tended to his relations with Persia. These orders pre scribed to his Ambassadors and Agents, at the Court of 44 After long discussions, in which, however, nothing unpleasant intervened, the two parties appeared to be coming to an understanding in Nlarch, 1325; and when GOD called the Emplror Alexander to himself, every thing seemed to indicate triat this amicable discussion was drawing to a conclusion. " The Emperor Nicholas, inheriting the principles of his august predecessor, hastened to tread in his foot steps. In the month of January he confided to Major Geoeral Prince Menzikoff, an extraordinary mission to Persia ; he commissioned him to announce to the Sehah, and to the Prince Abbas Mirza, his accession to the throne, and to this end addressed autograph letters to them, the friendly expression of which only announced a desire to see the existing treaties observed, and peace consolidated. The full powers of Prince Menzikoff even authorised him to conclude an agreement respecting the only point which delayed•the demArcation of the frontiers, to renew the above mentioned proposal for a change, or in order to consult still more the interest of Persia, and, - to place the views of Russia in their true light, to add to the point already occupied by the Per sians a part of the district of Talyschyne. 64 He was farther instructed to convince the Schah, and the Hereditary Prince, of the rightness of the desire of his Impetial Majesty to thee at m the power combined with justice and moderatioo,.prove to them that it was the common interest of both Empires to strengthen the ties of peace between then), to destroy all their suspicions, and, lastly, to convince them that the Emperor Nicholas desired nothing more than the accurate and scrupulous observance of the treaty of Gulistan: This is the mission to which Persia has answered with war. Tae principal events that followed are well known. Prince Menzikoff arriving on the Prod tiers of Persia was received with great respect. At Tauris Abbas Mirsa loaded him with honour;, and the • most friendly assurances. He was soon invited to the camp of Sultania to execute the mission of the Emperor to the Schah. At the same moment a sudden movement begins in Persia. Abbas Mirza, anticipating the Am bassador of his Imperial Majesty, repairs in the greatest haste to Sultania; the Persian troops advance to our frontiers, the posts stationed there are attacked and compelled to retreat, and the Russian territory is occu pied. The Emperor Nicholas being informed of these hostilities, was at first disposed to ascribe them only to the disobedience of some Persian Commander, who had disregarded the intentions of his Sovereign, and he de manded nothing more than the immediate removal and 'exemplary punishment of the Sardar of Erivan, whom he considered to be the first aggressor. But when his orders arrived in Georgia, it was no longer possible to execute them, and the affair was decided. Abbas Mirza having returned from the Camp of Sultania, took, in person, the command of the Persian forces.— He has already occupied a part of the Province of Ka rabash, belonging to Russia, and he has excited rebel lion there ; his emissai ies encourage the Mahometan subjects of his Majesty in the frontier Provinces to revolt; the proclamations announce a religious war. Such proceedings cannot remain unpunished. Russia declares war against Persia. It declares that, as the Treaty of Gunman is broken, it will not lay down its arms till it has obtained guarantees for perfect security for the future, and a jest indemnity by an honourable and solid peace.

The dollars brought by the Hussar frigate, it is said, are to be melted, as they are of a new coinage, and will not be current in Europe like the old Spanish dollars.

Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated September 5 ; " His Majesty's ship Brisk gave convoy through the Archipelago to the Matilda, Levant, Albion, Skylark, Mercury, and Sefton. His Majesty's ships Cambrian, S2ringapatam, and Rose, with marines from on board the Revenge, which re mains here with the Glasgow and Medina, sailed a ft w days ago, supposed for the purpose of looking after pi rates, although no further depredations have been hea d of. The Medina left on the Ist inst. near Samos, the Williamina, Alfred, Thomston, and Nimble, from Alex andria, bound to this place. According to the last ac. counts, the Turkish fleet, under the command of the Captain Pacha, was in the Scio channel, and the Greek squadron, consisting of 30 to 40 sail, was cruising near Samos. We doubt whether the Turkish expedWoll against that island will succeed, as many of the troops are returning from the seacoast towards the interior, and the ship commanded by the Cart in Pacha is said to have put into Foggia leaky. There is no news of e Lord Cochrane being in these seas. The search for piratical goods at Thermia has not been• so successful as was expeCted, many appear to be removed or effectu ally concealed.
