i'itSlA. ZIeTRACI' Or A LITTER //ROD[ AN COMM ATTACSED TO THZ ZIIASST or PERSIA. " Tehran, May 22,1110. " In my last, I mentioned we had commenced our journey towards the capital by easy stages. We arrived at Sheraz on the 30th December, and on the mad the highest honours were paid to the representative of our gracious Sovereign. Governors of provinces came out to meet and welcome us, dismounting from their horses as a mark of respect on our neat approach. We paid two visits to the Prince of Sheraz, and had barely time to view the tombs of the poets Sadoc and Hafiz, whicl; are in good preservation. The country seats in the environs of Sheraz are not fine houses, with extensive pleasure grounds, but small gardens with summer houses, some of which, and especially those of the Europeans, are very pretty. Mr. Morier took sketches of the whole, which you will therefore probably see. A letter from the seat of Government in India nearly put a stop to our hi,herto successful enterprize. Sir Harford, taking all responsibility on himself, did riot comply with the wishes of the Go vernment for his return to India, but on the 12th Ja nuary recommenced his journey. 6 4 On account of the report of General Malcolm coming up the Gelph, the Persians, suspicious of our designs, wished to detain us at Ispahan to see the event ; for several days, we were agitated between hope and fear ; eir H. surmounted this difficulty as well as the former, and on the 7th, we again moved, and arrived at Tehran on the 14th ; the distance we computed to be about 250 miles ; this, for Eastern travelling, where you have no post-chaises or mail ! coaches at command, is extremely fast. The for. ' mer embassies took five months to go over the same ground, which we performed in less than two. We should have arrived a day sooner ; and it was so ar ranged, out of compliment to the English Mission, that General Gardanne, with the whole of he; train, who had been detained for that purpose, were to have gone nut of one gate of the city in disgrace, while eve entered in triumph at the ()Our ; but travelling in a most boisterous and dark night, our party, by some .accident, separated and lost the road. . 64 On the 17th, contrary to the Persian customs, as their mohorrum, or mourning,had commenced, we paid , our first visit to his Majesty ; Sir Harford bearing the King's letter on a gold plate, and Mr. Morier the presents, to the outside of our house, where I was ready with the troopto salute • Sir H. then mounted. On arriving at the Palace, Sir H. again bore the letter, and Mr. Morier, the presents. The Persian infantry, drilled by :We French, were drawn up to receive us ; they appeared to be very imperfect in their exercise. The King, on account of the mourning, did not receive • us in the public hall of audience ; we parted close by it, it was not so grand as the old palace I before mentioned, built by Shah Abbas ; in the private Court a great many Persian Khans or Noblemen were ranged along the wall ; we made several obee. sances before we entered the apartments and took off our slippers at some distance from the door ; this was probably because they feared we might behave like the French, who never took off their boots in any houses of the Persians, which offended them very much. The King, on our entry, welcomed us, when Sir IL (having delivered the letter, and Mr. Morier the presents, to the Prime Minister for the King) made a short speech, which Jaffer Ali Khan, our great as sistant in the whole of the transaction, interpreted ; Sir H. then seated himself in a chair about 15 yards from the King; Mr. Morier on his right hand stand ing, and Jaffer Ali Khan on his left; the rest of the gentlemen stood against a wall in the rear of the Am bassador. His Majesty was very affable, and hoped his brother, the King of England, was in good health. He asked if the old or the young was reigning ? Sir H. answered the old. The King then addressed the Prime Minister, Murza Sheffea, and afterwards made several inquiries respecting England, and Sir H.'s health. After an audience of a quarter of an hour we took leave. The King was in a dark corner of the room, so that we could not observe distinctly his person or dress. The pictures painted fur him are very flattering. The particular beauty of his per son is a long beard which sweeps the ground. Six of his sons were present, standing on his right hand. The grandeur of the Court was much inferior to what we expected. The presents given by the King of England were veryvaluable; the diamond estimated at £25,000, was of finer water than any the Persian Monarch pos sessed. He had it immediately set, and wore it as a ring the next day. The city of Tehran is the dirtiest pig-stye we have seen in Persia ; there is scarcely a street Is here you can ride two abreast, and very dirty.' " I have been informed, that in a late interview, the Persian Mouurch expressed himself in terms of great j indignation against the insatiable ambition of the French Empe: or, and the atrocities he had recently committed. 6 6 Since our arrival the foundry for cannon, which j the French established here, has been put und er th e direction of an English Officer. No foreigners are allowed to cast ordnance, or to manufacture warlike stores without the approbation of Sir Harford. 64 Sir H. I think, will remain in Persia much longer than he has any idea of himself. While the Persians have such powerful enemies as the French and Ruse sians, their ability to withstand them, and remain in peace with us, notwithstanding their great inclination Monday se'nnight, about seven o'clock, as a fine I to do so, must necessarily be very precarious ; and girl between six and seven years of age was crossing while affairs remain in this manner, the Government she dam-head on the river 'Tyne, a little below the vil- will have great difficulty in finding a person so cape. lage of Eest.l.inton, her feet having slipped, she fell ble of fulfilling the situation Sir H. holds as himself; in, and, before assistance could be procured, was un- indeed he has so perfect a knowledge of the customs, Ibrtunately drowned. manners, and language of the country, and has so Two young women crossing the fields from Cam- completely the confidence of the King and Ministers, berwell Fair to Kennington, on Saturday night, about that a great objection would be made on their side to ten o'clock, were robbed by two men, who appeared his retiring. tohe labourers, of about Bs. being all the money they 64 The King, after reviewing his own troops the bad, and their shawls. other day (when they performed a sham fight, in which one man a n d two h orses were kill e d, f rom t h e A melancholy acecident happened on Thursday week at Milton mills, near Stirling.

BANKRUPTCY BNLARCED. COMENI "1/v,‘ kOSIZPS. . tieILDFoRD, AUGUST , to. CIVIL SIDEHOVCITICLS b. CIROVEC. This was an action of slander. The plaintiff, by his declaration, complained that the defendant had, in the presence of divers.good and worthy subjects of the King, called him a thief and a swindler. The defendant had pleaded a justification, admitting that he had spoke the -words, but asserted that they were true, for that the defendant had .stolen a newspaper and two pounds of mutton, the property of the de fendant. _ _ Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD for the plaintiff opened the case, and argued with great force on the value of character, and represented the thing, the most trivial in itself, of the greatest importance, by the plea of I.l'e defendant, which imputed a serious felony to the plaintiff which, if it had not been for the deliberate plea of the defendant, might have passed as mere words of heat and anger. He then called the wit-1 nesses to prove the fact, and in the event, it turned out one of the most ridiculous stories that was ever made the subject of legal inquiry. It appeared that the plaintiff was an old gentleman of retired fortune, living at Newington, and the defendant kept a public house in that neighbourhood, where the plaintiff and many others took their social cup of ale. One day in May last a travelling bear-hard came with a dan cing bear to the door of the defendant's house, and Bruin exhibited in all his paces to please the com pany. The defendant, the landlord, happened to be very drunk, and after Bruin bad danced a• tuts sad, which was pronounced by the company to be a most graceful performance, the drunken landlord was in cited to undertake a ride on the bur's back. This was also done, to the great delight of all the spectators. The plaintiff thinking too much respect could not be paid to a bear of such high accomplishments, cut off the fit flap of a shoulder of mutton, for the purpose of a relish for the bear. The landlord, it seemed, did not relish this liberty taken with his meat, and drunk as he was, he seized the plaintiff by the collar,, and swore that he was a thief and a swindler. This vio lent action excited great alarm among the company, who crowded round them, and amongst the rest, the bear-hard. In this confusion, poor Bruin was forgot, who feeling no interest in the quarrel of his ISM friends, quietly walked off towards the dresser, and there finding the remains of the shoulLier of mutton, the flat flap of which had caused all this confusion, he, without any molestation, contrived, through the corner of his muzzle, to pick the bone clean. At last the tumult subsided. It was impossible to make the bear refund the mutton ; but a lawyer was sent for who brought an action for the slander ; and among many other bad effects it had produced on the .plain tiff, it was sworn that it had so discomposed his nerves he was obliged to be attended by two physicians and two surgeons, which Mr. Lawes, one of the Counsel for the defendant, observed, were wholly unnecessary, as the alone could sufficiently lied him. It was also stated as an agravation, that the detend.int had taken out a warrant against the plaintiff for felony. Lord ELLk.N3OIiOUCaI lamented that a case so per fectly ridiculous should occupy the time of the Jury and the Court, and advised that each should sit down with their own costs, and, both parties agreeing in this suggestion, a Juror was withdrawn. LORRAIN 1. FRANCIS. This was an action against the defendant for poi soning 17 fowls, the property of the plaintiff. Both parties in this case lived at Wallingford, in this coun ty, and it seemed that the fowls in question were in the habit of straying from off the common into a field of the defendant. The defendant, on the 2.=.2.1 of May last, was observed by three persons, about six o'clock in the morning, feeding the fowls of the plaintiff on a piece of waste land, and before nine o'clock several died, and the rest on the same day, except the cock, which lived a few hours longer. On examination of their stomachs, a surgeon said he had no doubt but they had been fed with barley and wheat steeped in an infusion of the nox vomica. Another witness deposed, that the defendant had told him he had given Lor rain's fowls a breakfast that morning, and he would hear of it before the day was out. Lor ELLENBOROLIGH, in his summing up, expressed his indignation in terms of great force and feeling. He said, man, by the laws of Goo, had dominion over the other animals of the creation, but it was to be exercised in mercy, and he had no right to put them to death with torture, or to revenge a quarrel with man, their proprietor. The defendant had equally violated the law of the land, the law of mo rality, and of social duty. But the Jury, however indignant they might feel, must restrain their dama ges within legal bounds, they must give the value of the fowls, but beyond that amount they ought not to suffer themselves to be transported.

The fact of the forgery being established by Mr. DitTcll, who bad for that purpose been released by Messrs. Smith and Co. the Jury, without hesitatlaz, returned their verdict Guilty—Death. The prisoner was a young mall of very genteel ac. pearance. At the Assizes held at Monmouth, on Tuesday last, in the cause of Jilin L. Yates against the Rev. Dr. Whalley, of Mendip Lodge, John Crane, M. D. of Lyme, James Ant!loay Wick!lam, Esq. and Mrs. Mary Wickham, widow, both of Frame, for enticing away and harbouring the plaintill's wife, it was agreed that a Juror should withdrawn ; and John L Yates was bound, by an order of the Court, never to molest his wife, Frances Elizabeth Yates, int! to leant her at full liberty to live separate from him, and to have the undisturbed possession and education d John Whalley Yates, her infant s:n. An action respecting a right of toll was to have been tried at Shrewsbury Assizes, wherein the de. visecs of the late Earl of Powis wcre an 3 Mr. Richard Caink defendant, for the recovery of tfe toll of barley delivered in the town of Oswesu y ; but the defeaant has agreed to pay the value of the toll, and the plaintirs cases. Exuel;ntox.—Monday se'nnight, Betty Amplett, convicted at Gloucester Assizes, on the preceding Friday, for the wiiful murder of her bastard child, was exccuteil in front of the County Gaol, agreeably to her sentence, and her body delivere,l for dissection. She conducted herself with great penitence and de. ccrum, acknowledging the erif:,rnfty of l - :er crime, and the justice of her sentence. This truly unfortunate young creature, who was not more than twenty. one years of age, was a native of the parish of Bree. don's Norton, Worcestershire. Being herself the ille gitimate ofT,pring of parents by whom site was aban. tinned in her infancy, she was &pendant upon tl:e heunty of some poor relations ; and, during the shot: interval of peace, in ISO 2, went to France with an uncle, a shoemaker, who intended to settle there.— Upon the detention of the English in .France, they were sent, with many others, to the depot at Verdun. Here she was seduced, and cohabited with an English prisoner, by whom she had several children, who all died. Female prisoners being permitted to leave France, she returned to England in June last year, and sought an asylum with an aunt, who resides near Gloucester ; but when her pregnancy was discovered, she removed to Breedon's Norton. •The reception she met with there, from those whose urst duty it was to have protected her, was such, that she left the place soon after her delivery, and became a wander. in outcast, without the means of subsistence for her- self or her helpless infant ; and, under these circum. stances, committed the awful crime for which her life became forfeited to the laws of her country. It was the subject of her constant regret, during the short interval between her condemnation and execution, that the duties of religion had never been inculcated upon her mind, and was hardly even aware of the exhtencc of a GOD ! ! ! A reprieve has been received at Oxford for .I , lin Bennet, who received sentence of death at the last Assizes. One of the most dreadful storms which has occur red within human recollection, came on at Liverpool on Wednesday last. It was seen approaching from the northeast, about half-past 12 o'clock at noon, in the form of a large dense cloud of most tremendous blackness, and visibly surcharged with electric matter. Soon after it came down in the greatest flood of rain ever witnessed there, mixed with hailstones of astonish. ing size and quantity, and accompanied with the most awful bursts of thunder and flashes of lightning. The • storm lasted for above an hour and a half, we hear that one man in the neighbourhood was hurt by the lightning, and some houses have sustained consider. able damage ; but there is great reason to rejoice that the devastation has nor been much greater. Tbe dis tresses suffered in the lower parts of the town from the sudden flood, particularly in Whitechapel, Para dise-street, &c. have been greater than almost ever remembered. IF EXCHANGE.

Richard Yrslentine Thomas was indicted for forging and uttering, knowing to be forged, a check for the sum of 4400 Bs. on Messrs. Smith, Payne and Smyth, of George -street, Mansion House, purporting to be drawn by Messrs Diffell and son. Mr. BOLLAND having stated the indictment, Mr. GURNEY opened the case, by which it appear. ed that the prisoner, in the month of July List, being in the habit of frequenting the Surrey Theatre, in Blackfriars-road, and the Equestrian Coffee House contiguous to it, applied to a man of the name of Ex ton, who was waiter at the Coffee-houee, to go to Messrs. Smith and Co. to get the bani;ing-book of Messrs. Diffell. This enabled him to ascertain the balance of money which Messrs. Diffell had in the hands of their banker. He then sent back the book by the same person, with a request to have a check book, upon receiving which he filled up a check for 4400 Bs. and delivered it to Mr. Johnson, the box and housekeeper of the Surrey Theatre, with whom he ap peared to be upon intimate terms, and telling him he had some Custom and Excise duties to pay, requested him to get payment of the check in notes pf £lO and 420. The check was drawn accordingly 66 pay duties or bearer," &c. Johnson went to Messrs. Smiths, but as they could not pay him as he wished, he received from them two notes of 4200 each, which he immedi ately took :co the Bank and exchanged for the notes the prisoner desired him to get. The forgery being soon detected, the prisoner was taken into custody in com pany with a woman, with whom he cohabited. Upon searching her a £2O note was found, which was iden tified by a Clerk of the Bank, as having been given to Johnson in exchange for the two notes of 4200.
