.9- • •, and having • strong faction to support him at Court, spoke with 'a degree of heat, and in such a manner, de claratory of his hostile intentions to the Russian Am bassador, as could ngt be misunderstood ; in addition to which, some of his adrterents, in the command of some of the border towns, intercepted and detained, the Rus sian couriers. A general rising of the several border tribes, and incursions into Georgia, was the consequence of this hasty, and as the general opinion is, intemperate movement. It this report be true, the Persians have been the ag gressors without cause; but a counter-rumour is afloat, which would lead one to imagine that the Russians caused and fomented the attack, by their harassing and unlicensed conduct. General Yermoloff, commanding the Russian troops in Georgia and the Caucasian pro vinces, is a good general, but a proud and fiercecharac ter ; qualities of which his subordinate officers and sol diers partake of in a great-degree. I cannot imagine much moderation from 20,000 and upwards of semi barbarians, living, as they have done, in a state of peace—to diem. idleness and inactivity—when the ex-' ercise of their employment, arms, excites their hopes, and exhibits the means of aggrandizing themselves, by rifling the rich territory of their Persan neighbours►— No manner by what means obtained, warfare is the only acceptable state of existence for them to live in ; and the choler of the Persians was easily roused by acts of brutality and excess, which' it is reported they have for some time past been pursuing. H--, too has seen Abbas Mirza, says he is a fine soldier-like charac ter, and excellent horseman; partial to European cus toms, and quite an adept at the gnglish cavalry exer cise, particularly the lance, which he has introduced with effect into a corps of his own at Isaphan.

The latter Paper contains an Imperial Manifesto, announcing the completion of the Coronation, and the important fact that the EMPE• BOR had received the holy unction in due form. An article from Smyrna contains a short but interesting nar rative of an affair between a Greek pirate and a Sardinian •essel, which submitted to superior numbers, and re ceived a choke specimen of Christian warfare in the Mediterranean. The following are extracts: MOSCOW, AUGUST 24.—(Sum. 5.) MANIFESTO OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY. We Name Las I. Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. &c. Witb the aid of the Most Rizz i and surrounded with the fervent prayers of our faithful subjects, we have to-day, conformably to the example of the pious Monarchs our ancestors, accomplished the august ceremony of our Coronation, and received the Holy Unction, according to the Rules of our orthodox Church, and we have resolved to signalize this solemnity by the favours and immunities of which the particulars are annexed t 1. All persons in office, and people of every condi. Con, who up to this day were under trial, or subject to judicial proceedings, shall be liberated, with the excep tion of those who are accused of murder, robbery, theft, and venality. This favour shall be equally extended to those whose crimes on account of the obscurity in which they are involved, have not been up to the same date clearly proved by the proceedings, provided they are not of the nature of those above specified. It is to be understood of course, that this pardon does not deprive those who are convinced of their innocence, of the means of legally justifying themselves if they desire it. 2. The same pardon is granted to all soldiers and sailors, except such as may be accused of the crimes above specified, or of disobedience or insolence to their officers, or of having deserted three times or oftener.— Those accused of the latter, shall be exempt from judg- ment, and shlll be incorporated in the companies of dis cipline of tl.e engineers, without any other punishment. 3. Entire amnesty is granted to soldiers of all arms and degtees, as well as to peasants, and other inhabi tax is (except Jews), who without permission may have quitted their colours or their abodes, or gone into fo reign countries, and who within the term of six months, for those who are in Russia, and of a year for those in foreign countries, shall return to their abodes, and (forl the military) shall rejoin their corps, or present them., selves in the Goyernments to the commanders of the battal6ns of police soldiers. 4 to. IC (The last in 25 sections) Grant remission of debts to the Government under various beads, tines, dues, &c. restoring to liberty those who are in prison for nonpayment of such debts, &c. The tax of two rubles per head on the inhabitants of estates which enjoy the privilege of distilling brandy is abolished, and all arrears remitted. IS. (In I 0 sections) Grants facilities for the repay. ment of sums lent at different times by the Crown to public bodies er individuals. • To granting the exemptions, immunities, and favours above specified, we follow with pleasure the impulses of our heart. May they be the pledge of our constant so licitude for our faithful subjects. May justice and im partiality preside over the tribunals, order and disin terestedness in the territorial and municipal administra tions, and liberty in commerce ; may the manufacturers double their emulation, and agriculture its activity ; may good faith be-the guarantee of engagements ; may, the inviolability of property be respected ; but above all, may the fear of GOD, and a solid and patriotic edu cation of youth, be the basis of all hopes of amelioration, the first duty of all classes. The accomplishment of their wishes is in the hands of the LORD. But while we submit with confidence to his DIVINE PROVIDENCE, guided by a firm will and inces sant attention, we shall not cease to exert our efforts gradually to attaia it, placing in it our only consolation, the sole recompense of our cater, and the object of all our thoughts and all our actions. May HERM' grant that all the days of our existence may be many days of happiness and glory to our dear country ! ('iven in our Imperial Residence at Moscow, the tad day of the month of August (Sept. 5), in the year of mar Loss one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, and the First of our Reign. (Signed) NICHOLAS. ST. PETERSBURG 11, Sm. 11. The news from Georgia, brought by Count Samoy loff, Aid-de-C.imp to the Emperor, does net yet afford the Government sufficient information to discover the motive of the incursion made by the Persian troops into our territory, as to determine the nature of this attack. It appears, however, that we are more and more authorised to see in it the effect of a fanatical impulse which, perhaps, the Schah of Persia him self may not have time to repress. Meantime the troops of the Sardur of Brivan, which bad crossed our frontiers, advanced but slowly. On our side Gen. Yermaloff was collecting his army, and only waited for the junction of all his troops to commence operations. SMYRNA, Strtiocues 21. The Sardinian schooner the Pearl, Captain Guiseppe Lam, which sailed on the 17th June for Gibraltar, with a cargo of coffee, sugar, cochineal, indigo, and Indian silks, arrived at the Island of Lolly, at the entrance of the gulf of Smyrna, where it anchored on the 24th of July, in the evening. On the 25th, in the morning, a Hydriot schooner, which, it is said, was watching the motions of the American quadron, then at anchor at %Tourlac, fired a gun as a signal to the Sardinian Captain to come on board; but the latter not obeying the Greek Captain, sent two boat. with orders to take possession 'of the Sardinian vessel; They were received with a brisk fire of musketry, and after having bad four men killed, tacked about. The Greek schooner immediately approached the Sardinian vessel, threw out grap pling front, and took it by boarding. The Sardinian crew of fifteen men, including the Captain, defended themselves bravely; nineteen Greeks were killed on the deck, but numbers prevailed over valour, and the Sardinian crew were cut to pieces, except one , wounded sailor, who was saved by the Hydriot Cap., tain, whose gratitude held the arm raised to strike him. This sailor, it is said, bad saved the life of the Captain, who was at Constantinople at the beginning of the Greek r4olution. The Sardinian having been this seized by force, was sent to Hydra; the poor wounded' sailor was left on board. The Greek threw him into the sea, near Trico,, but he escaped by swimming on shore, with the assistance of a piece of wood, which PROVIDUCE threw in the way. He is now on board the Sardinian frigate, on the Levant station, which it is affirmed, sailed immediately to Hydra. In the French Papers of Thtitsday, there is no intel, Hgence whatever either from Spain or Portugal, and the little given from Greece relates to events with which we were already ac quainted, from various sources. Brussels Papers to the 28th inst. have also been re ceived. They represent the fever at Groningen as still on the in crease. An application had been made to the Minister at War to send as many medical men to the suffering town as could possibly be spared ; and the Groningen Regency had issued an appeal to Physicians in general, offering 100 florins per month to those who would come to co-operate in the relief of their fellow-creatures. A letter from Ostend announces the arrest of several individuals, and that a deputation had been sent to the Kann to elves. affliction and hope. All the English bad quitted that unfortunate place, and thus added to its distress. The number of inhabitants wounded was 226. The Foutteenth Report of the Committee for in quiring into the Stamp Revenue Department, has been printed. A good deal has been recently said, touching alleged abbses on the part of the Commissioners; and we now hear it stated, upon pretty good authority, that the present Chairman, Mr. SEDGWICIC, with Mr. Com missioner HALLAM, retire on the 10th of October, and that the Cnief Commissionership is to be given to a brother of the Earl of GALLOWAY. Various reforms and retrenchments are recommended, and amongst them a curtailment of the number of Commissioners, which will in future be five instead of seven ; and the wren clerks are to be reduced to four. It is also pro posed to throw open the Stamp Business to the public, and the dep ,rtment issuing stamps for law•proceedings, 'and whit is called law stationetlf, will be carried on as in the ordinary way of . a shop. Other alterations are enumerated, and the saholeis calculated' to produce a saving of 20,0001. a-year. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. There has bees a fluctuation in Consols this morning of gamut per cent. In the earlier part of the morning they were at 803 for the Account, and the same for Money, since which they were done at 80, and up to the present time may be quoted at 80 3 for the Acct. The business doing has not been to any extent, but the Market has a steady appearance. In the Foreign Market, Mexicans are rather heavy, nothing doing in Shares or other Foreign Securities. THE KING. WINDSOR, Sammons 29. His Maiesiv left the Royal Lodge both yesterday and this afternoon at half-past two o'clock, and enjoyed each day an excur sion of three hours, driving himself in his pony phaeton, visiting Virginia Water and other favourite retrears in the Great Park. His Mernstv was accompanied by Sir CHAS. PAGICT ani followed in a se cond phaeton by the Loso STEWARD and others of the Royal suite. Her Royal Highness the Princess airiness% took an airing yes terday afternoon to St. Leonard's. — This afternoon her Royal Highness passed through Windsor and Eton for an airing in her open carriage, accompanied by Lady MaarTArt.on and Miss Vrss. THE BUIE OF roßr. We are happy to state, that the assertion so positively made in some,of the Papers, of his Royal Highness haviqg undergone the operation of upping, is totally void of foundation. - Equally rejoiced are we to be enabled to add, that his Royal Highness is in ouch a progressive state of improvement as.to afford the most reasonable hopes of the full and speedy restoration of his health. Rio de Janeiro Papers have been received to the 25th of July, but they do not contain any particular information. The report of the meeting of the Royal Family of AUSTRIA, to appoipt a new successor to the Throne, causes some speculation in the City. The Duke of YORK took an airing in his carriage yesterday, from half-past twelve till nearly three o'clock. Sir Hen. Ray TAYLOR, Sir Wmoucauxv Goasox, and Sir Hexer TOR. SRNs, transacted business with his Royal Highness, at the residence of the Duke of Roman., in Arlington -street. Sir HCNRY HAL. FORD, Dr. Macsuelials, Mr. MACGRZGOA, and Mr. SINIION, visited the Royal Duke yesterday. Yesterday was the birth-day of her Majesty the Dowager Queen of Woamsguao, when her Majesty cpmpleted her sixtieth year. Mr. DYKES, the King's Messenger, was sent off on Wednesday night, from the Office of the Secretary of State for Fo reign Afairs, with despatches to Mr. Secretary CANNING, at Paris. Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign Office, to Sir Cliaaxes Bun, our Ambassador at the Court of the Netherlands. Despatches, dated 18th July, were received yesterday at the Colonial. Department, from Major General Bocays, at the Cape of Good Hope. Sir HENRY HALIORD left town on Thursday after noon en a visit to the Kum, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park. Sir Hamar returned to town yesterday morning. COVENT GARDEN THEAraE.—There was an audience at this house last night, such as would be deemed a very fine one even in the height of the season. The advection' were a standard Tragedy, revoke Preserved, and two excellent Farces, The Irish Tater, and Raising tie Wind. We have seldom seen Mr. YOUNG more spirited, manly, and effective, than in his representation of Pierre last night. Mr. C. lExusies Jqfflei we thought superior to I l any of his former efforts in the same character. In the scene of the parting with Pierre, after the latter reproaches and strikes him, Mr. KAMuu called down peals of applause. Mrs. SLOMAN was the Behalern. In the Farces, CON NOR and JONES kept the audience in oonstant merriment, and frequent bursts of incontrollable laughter! A Correspondent says :—Seeing the account of the Consecration of the New Synagogue, in St. Alban's•place, In your Paper, •I beg to Inform you that Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds, has been presented by N. M. Rumour.; F.sq. and family, as a donation towards building the same. Bow BILL:I.—JUNE 4,1762.—80 w Bells rung for the first time ; the weight of them are as follows:—First newt. 3qrs. and 71bs.

(not 409 acres) thirty brace of partridges, one landrail, and three hares—one day's sport. In two days, 501 head of game were killed. The regular troops in Persia wear red uniforms made in London. This accounts for the report that there were English (Ricers in the Persian service. The health of TALMA if still a source of fresh uneasi- nen. The physicians at first advised the waters of Engbien, and he was is consequence conveyed thither. The necessity, however, of more regular and assiduous attendance, has brought him back to Paris. Much is hoped from the strength of his constitution and the vigour of his character, as well as from the attention of his friends and medical advisers. By the late arrivals from India, we have been put in possession of a Government Notification, excluding the servants of the Hon. East India Company from any proprietorship or management of the Public Press in that country. The lady-passengers from . France begin now to bel quite reconciled to the duties charged on their silk dresses, as they find the amount very different to what they expected from public reports, and see they can ester the dresses for duty according to their worth, from the time of wearing and at landing. The Regency of PORTIMIAL had decided, that there shall be raised two new corps, under the title of the First and Second 'foreign Regiments ! They are to be composed of 5,000,men each, and commanded by the celebrated Spanish General MINA. The second in cons mand is to be Colonel ALAVA, who was Aide-de-camp of the Duke of %Vaud worou in the war of independence. KINGDOM Or AI/A.—Extract of a private letter from an Officer, dated Camp, Wetmachooti, Jan. 80, 1826 , " I bad the pleasure of addressing you from Prome, previously to our taking the field the second time; since then, on the 2d December last, we drove the enemy from their strong hold, without much loss on either side.— After that they fell back on Malown, where we drove them from again on the 19th inst. with considerable loss on the part of the enemy. Our loss was trifling; my company, the Grenadiers, being the leading divi sion, suffered. Our European force, lam sorry to say, is dwindled away very much. The 38th landed at Rangoon with upwards of 1,000 fighting men, and we cannot now bring into the field more than 230." Extract of a letter from Bogota, dated July 18: "On the night of the 17th ult. between 10 and 11 o'clock, we experienced two very severe shocks of an earthquake, repetitions of which, though in a slighter degree, have been since felt at intervals. The damage occasioned is very severe. Two Churches situated on the summits of the mountains, L Guadaloupe and Mont serrat, (1,800 feet above the town), have been, the one partially, the other entirely, thrown down. Many of the convent walls have also fallen, and every house in the city sustained more or less damage, many being rerldered entirely untenant.ble. On the morning of the 19th inst. a Gentleman, ac companied by his son, a young boy, and a servant, went out in a gig to shoot in the neighbourhood of Hayrick; having come to the ground, while the servant was taking the gun out of the gig, it unfortunately went of, Ind wounded him so severely, that although medical assistance was promptly procured, the lad died next morning. bOVER, Sot. 29.

Sometimes we meet with a strange union of offices in the same person. It is known, that in the middle a w e,, Prelates sometimes headed their own armies; and a French paper informs us, that at the beginning of the present year, the Bishop of Babylon has been appointed French Consul General of Bagdad. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATIL—Major Ep worth, late of the Royal Marines, having lately sold ffs Commission, and in ending to invest a portion of the ( money arising from the sale in an annuity, he, on the 21st instant, went to Totness, for the purpose of pro curing the certificate of his baptism ; but whilst the Clergyman was opening the book, the Major was seized with a fit of apoplexy, which carried him off without a struggle. Medical assistance was procured in a few minutes, but in vain, as the vital spark had fled. The ship Countess of Morley, which sailed from Ply mouth in March last, with settlers for the river Plate, under the auspices of the London Rio de la Plata Asso ciation, returned to Plymouth on Tuesday, bringing back about two-thirds of her passengers, which are chiefly of the labouring class. The Countess of Morley was detained seven weeks at Monte Video, by the Bra zilian squadron then blockading the river, who gave the settlers the alternative, either to proceed to Rio de Janeiro, where grants of land and pecuniary aid, under an Imperial order, were offered to such as chose to settle in the Brazilian territory, or to return to England. About sixty of the number, we understand, have re mained at Monte Video, where they are engaged in various occupations ; the remainder ;Ad - erred retu;ning to England. We have been informed that previous to the sailing of this vessel from Plymouth, licences hat been procurettfor all vessels belonging to the association to pass the blockade, but on the arrival of the Countess of Morley, Admiral Lobos had been superseded and another commander appointed, who refus-d to confitm the document signed by Lobos. Evet y other vessel be. longing to the company had passed without interrup tion. The passengers generally are in excellent health; the agent here has been attentive to theft - wants, they were supplied with fresh provisions immediately on arrival, and arrangements are milting to forward them to their homes, to prevent their being burdensome to the neighbouring parishes. The London B idge Committee, on Monday. accom panied by Sir E.
