Joseph Wolff having been presented to us, has explained the desire and wish he entertains of establishing in our city of TAriz, and under the patronage of Henry Drum mond, Esq. a school for the education of children of all classes, and of sending out from England such teachers .as may be necessary to reside here, and to employ themselves constantly .in the instruction of children.— As this benevolent Undertaking is in perfect accordance with our own feelings, and as the strictest intimacy now subsists between the Governments of England and Per sia, the proposal of Mr. Wolff has met with our cordial; approbation. We have, therefore, ordered that a horse' should be given over to him to commence the school,' and have granted this letter in order to inspire a COnfi' dent assurance that when teachers come from England, the institution shall always receive from us all due pa-. tronage, protection, and support. (Signed) ABBAS MIRZA. Translation of a letter from his Itlyal Highness Abbas to Henry Drummond, Esq.—After compliments. The Rev. Joseph Wolff having arrived in Tabriz, and represented to us on his presentation the philanthropy L and zeal with which you promote the establishment of foreign schools for the education of childrea of all per ' suasions, these things have not failed to make upon us a most favourable impression. He has requested our permission, on your part, to have a school established in Tabriz, and promised to send one or more teachers, as may be found necessary, to reside here, and employ themselves in the education of children. As our con stant wish is to promote good and useful works, and as the closest intimacy now exists between the Govern ments of England and Persia, we have felt great plea. sure in complying with his request, and in assiAning him a house to commence with, until a teacher arrives from England. The school shall always be considered under our immediate patronage and protection, and shall receive from us that support and assistance due to so humane an establishment. (Signed) FRENCH PAPERS. ABBAS SIIRZA. FROM THE /TOILE 07 WEDNESDAY. We have received by an extraordinary Cour'er, nor correspondence from Lisbon to the 2,1 of November. In the first Sitting of the Cortes, after the Secretary of State for the Home Depal meat, Francis ManuelTrigozo, had announced in the name of her Royal Highness, that the Session (lithe Chambers was opened, and that each of the Chambers should meet on the 31st October, at nine o'clock in the morning, in • the place appropriated for them; the President of the Chamber of Peers ap proached the throne, and presenting to her Royal High ness, the Missal which he held open, the Infanta pro nounced before him, wih aloud voice (the whole Court standing) the oath appointed by the 97th Article of the Constituti •nal Charter. Count d'Alva writes from his head-quarters at Tavira, on the 26 h October, that he entered that town, on the 24th, where 'he had been joined by the division of the Minister of War, who came lions Castro Marini. The heads of the insurrection have been arrested, and are about to be given up to the laws. Amongst the number of those who deserted to Spain, was the Governor ol Villa It .r-il, who caused all the artillery of that place to be spiked before he left it. The Nlinister of War himself writes, that the Portu guese Refugees have been sent by the Spanish Authori ties of Ayamonte towards Ecija, in Andalusia. The Battalion of the 7th Regiment of Chasseurs, which de• se; ted from Chaves with a detachmait of Cavalry, have marched upon Ginco, in Galicia. The first sitting of the Chamber of Peers, took place yesterday, at halt-past ten in the morning. At the re qitest of the Chamber, the Duke de Cadaval, the Presi dent, n,:minated as Secretaries, the Marquis de 'Fiances and the Count de Mesquitella. When their appointments were being approved, the Count d'Arcos aikeit if the Marquis de Cliavts, ci-devant Count d'Ausarante was According to the Parisier Zeilung, the business, re lative to the free navigation of the Rhine, has been in no respect advanced by the recent ordonnance of the King of the Netherlands, in which he agrees to consider the Leck as the continuation of the Rhine in the Bava rian teraitory, where it is well known the Rhine alto gether disap, ears; - first dwindling into a petty brook, and then into a mere ditch. The only important ques tion still remains to be decided—through what channel is the ire navigation of the Rhine, as far a: Me sea, to be carried on? IVithout that liberty all the rest is Mu ' sory. On that point the- Government of the Nether lands gives no explanation. The Leck terminates at its junction with the Meuse, and the Meuse is a stream en tirely Dutch and Belgic. On the other hand Prussia, on pretence of the delays occasioned by the conduct of Holland, retains in her hands 14 millions of florins,arising out of the duties levied upon the navigation of the Rhine, which she ought to share of right with Nassau, Ba den, Hesse Darmstadt, and other small states. These German Courts addressed Mr. Canning during his stay at Paris; but it appears that England, although she up holds the principle of free navigation, cannot interfere in the distribution of the duties levied on the Rhine, in the interior of Germany. It is said that the small Ger man Courts iittehd to summon Prussia before the Fede ral Diet. Although Holland should be literally and geographically in the right on this. question, we should ,say to the King of the Netherlands, with all the respect and esteem which his political principles and personal qualities inspire, that, according to our view, it would ,be the interest of his kingdom, if well understood, to extricate the diplomatists of the Congress of Viepna from the snare into which their heedlessness has made them fall. They apparently had forgotten that the Rhine on the Dutch territory does not flow into the sea. To open frankly to the navigation of Germany, the Yssel and the Wall with the Meuse, whose natural windings form the true issues of the Rhine, would at tract, we think, to 11,41 and, so immense a commerce both from Getmany and trona France, and Switzerland, that ever so slight a transit duty would produce a very great revenue. The King of the Netherlands, who him self as an able engineer, has traced the beautiful canal of the Ttxel, possesses all the knowledge necessary to appreciate this opinion, and we flatter ourselves, that entertaining the same views, he hesitates to adopt them only with the design of obtaining greater advantages for his country. At eleven o'clock, in the Chapel of the Ch iteau, a requinn was ch.mutetl fur her late Majesty of S avoy, Queen of Fr.ince, and Spouse of Louis the 18th.

LISBON, °cross* 30. SETPLEMENT TO THE OAZETTS.-OFFICIAL. It is with the greatest satisfaction that we transcribe the dispatch of the Ambassador of her Iklajesty, at the Court of Vienna, giving the important intelligence that his Highness, the Infant Don Miguel took the O.►th to the Constitutional Charter of the Portuguese Monarchy, on the 4th current. " MOST ILLUSTRIOUS AND EXCELLENT SIR,-.After the return of his Majesty the Emperor from Schoenberg to this Court, not only the arrears of business, but, in additir.ii, the presence of his Imperial Highness the' Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the other Princes of the Imperia Family, who happened to be here at the same time, prevented that Monarch from enj'ying an imme diate interview with the Infant Don Miguel, with re., specs to tl e oath of his Highness. At length the inter view has taken place, arid in the Bdr/ices which his Im per ial Majesty gave to him, upon that subject, we have had the consolation to perceive his own intentions, which were to conform himself to' the sovereign will of the King our master, cJnfirmed by so wise and prudent a Monarch. In consequence the Infant Din Miguel, on the 4th of this month, took the oath, simply and uncoil• ditionally, to. the Constitutional Charter, decreed and granted by the King, our Sovereign, to the Portuguese n ition, on the 29th of April. That oath, written and signed by the hand of his Highness himself, has been deposited in my hands, in presence of the Viscount de Rezenda, Minister of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, whom his Highness wished to constitute a witness of, this solemn act, reserving to himself the direct trans mission of the act of the above oath to his august brother, since it was our King and Lord who demanded it of him. Immediately after, his Highness, so far as lie was concerned, and myself, in my capacity of representative of the Queen our Sovereign, Donna Maria the 2d, ad dressed his Holiness for the purpose of obtaining that dispensation for the nearness of kin which exists between that august Princess and the Infant Don Miguel, that we might proceed to the celebration of the espousals, which will take place as soon as the required dispensa tion shall arrive. " GOD preserve your Excellency, (Signed) BUDD D 1 VILLA SECCA. 44 Vienna, Oct. 6, 18x6. 4 4 To his Royal Hisbneu Francisco de Almeida." FROM THE ETOILE OF TUESDAY. MADRID, Om st. The famous monk of La Trappe, known under the name of the Trappist, a Guerills Chief, who, during the campaign of 1823, commanded in Catalonia and Cas tile a corps of 1000 or 1500 men, died. in his convent on the . 9th of this month, whither he returned in 1824. Brother Anthony, which was the name of the Trappist. died in the most edifying manner. On the Bth current, in spite of the violence of his malady, he rose trim his bed, and was carried to church, supported by two of his brethren ; he these received the sacraments w ith pious fervour, and returning to hit cell, and being laid upon his wooden bed (for the Trappists sleep only upon plank), he disposed himself for death. On the morning of the 9th, while they were about to place him won cross of ashes, according to the manner in which the Trappists are laid when dying, he raised himself up, although he had then lost the use of speech, and was almost insensible, in a last effort to throw himself upon the cross, which hadbeen traced for that purpose. About an hour and a half after making this effort he expired. PARIS, Nov. is. Our Nuremberg Correspondent states that, indepen dent of a division of infantry, and 20,000 Cossicks, who marched at the lint news of the Persian invasion, seve ral other corps of the first army, under the orde:s of Genrral Sackers, put themselves in motion to match to the theatre of war. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 16. The LORD Citascsuos was attended by the Lords Chief Jus tices of the Court of King's Bench and Common Pleas. CORONER FOIL STAFFORD• Mr. AGAR was heard on this matter, in decidi-g which the Chancellor had also required the assistance of the Chief Justices. The petition prayed that the Court would declare the election of Mr. Dent, whom the Sheriff had returned as duly appointed Coroner for Stafford, should he declared void. There were two points upon which the prayer of the petition was founded. The first was, that Mr. Dent was not pos sessed of such a qnalification in property as was required by the Act of Parliament, which declared that no per son should be eligible to the office of Coroner, unless he had land within the county for which he was chosen, sufficient to satisfy all manner of persons. The second point w ts, that the election had not taken place a:WAIL the period limited for th .t put pose, by the statute regu lating such eh ctions. The Lotto CHaateera.ms requested the Counsel to confine himself to the latter point. Mr. AGAR went on to say, that by the Act of the 58th Geo. HI. tire Shet iff, were required to proceed to the election of Coroner at the County Court next after the receipt of the writ directed to him for that purpose. unless such County Court should happen to fall within six days after receipt of the writ. In this case, the Sheriff received the writ on the Ist of April, and the next County Court was appointed for the 13th of the same month, on which day he ought to have proceeded to t'.e election. The Sheriff, however, neglected to do, so, and adjourned the Court to the '27th, and on that day the election was held. The Counsel contended at great length, that this was in violation of the Act of Parliament, and that, as the provisions of that Act were imperative, the election was therefore void. Mr. %VHEATLItY, for the Coroner, argued that there had been no material deviation from the enactments of the statute. The Sheriff had complied with the provi sions, so far as was necessary ; for at the County Court held on the 13th of April, he had read the writ,,and so had proceeded in the election, which was completed on the 27th of the same month, pursuant to an adjourn ment. 'The Sheriff had clearly a right to adjourn the Court, and he acted not only according to the meaning but within the letter of the Act. Mr. Lovas:, for the Sheriff, argued on the same side. Mr. Aux* having replied, The Loan CHANCZLLOI/ then requested the Chief Justices to give their opinions on the point which had been argued. Sir W. D. Bear then said, that having been called upon, he declared it to be his decided opinion that the election was void. The directions of the Act of Parlia ment were explicit, and it was quite clear that the Sheriff ought to have proceeded with the election on the 13th. It appeared that this had not been done, and conse quently that the proceedings which had been taken,being unauthorised by the Act of Par liament,were wholly void. Sir C. ABBOTT expressed his opinion to the same effect. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he concurred en tirely in the opinion which had been expressed by the .
