THE Caledonia recently arrived at Greenock, has brought Calcutta Papers to the 29th of May. The Go vernment Gazette of that date confidently anticipates a war between Russia and Persia. The article upon which this belief is founded is dated Bushire, April 12th. It states that " The Russians have of late been doing all they can to conciliate the Persian Nobility, strictly, however, upon the principle of peace to the cottage and war to the castle they by no means include the King, or any branch of the Royal Family within the circle of their benevolence, and in spite of a splendid embassy conducted by General Gennaloff, and now past Erevan on its route to Tehran, I judge from oilier sure aighns and tokens, that any thing but peace reign in the breasts of most of those who may conduct the negociations on tither side." The same article goes on to state, that some French Officers bad arrived at the Persian capital, and many more Vl ere expected, the King having determined to give them commands in his army. Advices have reached town from the Brazils, to the Id August, from which, if correct, Vac important in- TIM NATIONAL REGISTER. telligence is derived, that the Brazilian Government had sent off orders for the evacuation of Moute-Vidao by the:Portug,uese troops. It would seem therefore, ei ther that the difficulties of keeping posse,sion of the place, or the remonatrauces of the Allied Powers, have had the effect of compelling the Portuguese Govern ment to this act. The Paris papers of Monday last, announce the death of the celebrated Polish General Kosciusko, who died at Solcurc on the 15th instant. An article from Lausanne, published in the Mond cur, speaks in the highest terms of this Patriotic General, justly ob serving, that to his name is attached all the sublimity that can arise front inflexible virtue, patriotism, and true glory. Eugene Beauharnois has assumed the ti tles of Duke de Lcuchtemberg, Prince of E;Astad.— These papers quote private letters front Madrid of• the 13th instant, which are silent as to any otli•nsive move ments upon the part of Spain against Port,tgaL French papers received yesterday contain the follow ing further particulars relative to the murder of Wier Pasha, Dey of Algiers:— " The following arc fresh details regarding the as sassination of the Dey of Algiers, Omar Paella, the authencity of which we guarantee :—The chiefof the conspiracy had framed it with such art, that its existence was not even suspected. The Dey, surprised in his palace by the revolted soldiery, was strangled, and his body carried to a small cementry, called Onelli Dalour, in the neighbourhood of the palace. He was there interred without pomp, but likewise without insult. The e nemies even of Omar Paella admit, that he com bined in his character justice and humanity, with courage. The only reproach directed against him by a people devoted to sulx•rstition and fatality, is, that he was bar► under an unlucky star ; and to this circum stance they ascribe the calamities of the last war, the bombardment and the plague—scourges which in a short space of time united to overwhelm Algiers : this supposition was the sole motive of his assassination. I lis successor, Ali Pacha, is a man in the flower of Eli: of a very agreeable exterior, and a prepossessing. address. He is said likewise to be very well informed. Ile has manifested the most friendly intentions towards all nations, with whom he announces his desire of living in good understanding. As a proof of his 14- vourable dispositions, he has of his own accord ordered the restitution of a Hamburgh vessel, with its cargo and crew, though the whole had been declared good prize. Jews who had purchased the cargo were ob liged to restore it. Subsequently to this act of Justice, a report was spread that the restitution had displeased the soldiery to such a degree, as to make them murder the Dey, and elect a successor. This report requires confirmation." A Lisbon mail to the .2.lst of last month arrived last night, the contents are not important, as will be seen by the following extracts : " LISBON, OCT. 18.—On the 15th of this month was decided the trial instituted in consequence of the conspiracy happily discovered in the mouth of May last; by the sentence two were declared not guilty, one ordered to be banished from the united kingdoms of Portugal, Algarve, and Brazil, with the threat of being sent to one of the Presidius (fortresses) of Africa for life, in case of contravention ; three condemned to he transported to Angola, Mozambique ; and twelve sen tenced to be punished with death. This sentence beim; executed on the 18th of this month, the greatest order and tranquillity imaginable prevailed. In the counte nances of all the citizens was seen on that day, —as well as on those in which, after the pa-sing of the sen tence, the guilty received according to the usual custom, the succours of religion,—the clear expression of the horror which, in the midst of a nation distinguished for its unshaken sentiments of loyalty to the Sovereign, is justly inspired by the abominable crime of a handful of individuals, who, deaf to the voice and dictates of both divine and human laws, endeavoured to plunge us into the horrors of anarchy. The sentence is printing, which applied the provisions of the laws to the facts proved by the clearest evidence. The rumours which have been circulating for some time respecting the probable annexation of the Flo rida., to the United States, seem to be rapidly assaming a more decisive character. An article in the Vational Register, of the f. th of September (a paper printed at Washington), after intimating its belief that in less than six months, those territories will be under the Govern ment of the United States, proceeds to state, as a con jecture, that a treaty between Spain and Ameri c a, respecting their cession, will be submitted to Congress, early in the next Session. A similar opinion prevails in the Floridas themselves. The Mobile Gazette, (July 9.(ith) says, " we have good cause fur believing_ that the country will be in possasioo of the United States La tin Christmas neat". 7'llE DRAMA. PRURV.LANE. rov. s. The Falls of ahk, a new meld-drame, was performed here on Wednesday night, utter the Hypocrite. The music is by Mr. T. Cooke, or, rather, is a selection of Scotch airs, adapted by way of accompaniuttont to the different situations of the piece. Some of these situa tions are striking enough, and are rendered more so by the excellent acting of Miss Kelly, Knight, and Mr. H. Johnston. Wallach represents with much troth and feeling, the chracter of L 'a young soldier, sen tenced to be shot for the supposed murder of a young Scottish chieftain, who is at last finind concealed in a cave of banditti. Miss Kelly is the sister of Wallach, and sweetheart of Penley, and performs her part with pathos which is almost too harrowing to the feelings.— Her sufferings and gesticulations are lingered out to beep time with the music : and the same •clangers and the same escapes occur too repeatedly to produce much effect. She fhlls flat on the ground not less than five or six times, which is four or five too often. Knight played the old unhappy father of Edrvard and Ellen— one of whom he sees dishonoured, and the other about to be lel to execution fbr avenging that dishonour— with that sort of natural pathos in which he stands un fvalled. Mr. H. Johnston did ample justice to Donald, the hearty, honest, Highland bagpiper ; and gave to the character that mixture of romantic spirit and quaint humour, of which it is susceptible, and in which his great excellence consists. One or two of the scenes were beautiful; but the whole was too tediously spun out, and hardly answered the expectations ut first ex cited. It was, however, given out for repetition with much applause. COVENT-GARDEN THE %TM:. The opera of the Cast leolAndalusia on Saturday night aflbrded a delightful treat to lovers of vocal excellence. Mr. Braham resumed the part of I)on Alphonso. Ile was in fine voice, and in the whole of his songs was most rapturously applauded. The introduced airs of Slaw broke the light and Is Mere a heart that never lava , the latter of which was encored, were given in a style fraught with inimitable sweetness, science, and execution,. Mr. Isaacs sustained the character of Don Ciesar fir the first time. He was eminently successful, and imparted to the various songs their full characterestie force and expression, his Wuy was singularly illustrative of this merit. Miss Stevens also elicicitcd strains of exquisite melody, her Bravura air was given with electrical effect. Mr. Du rasa was peculiarly happy in Fernando. The Spido of Liston exhibited a genuine specimen of comic hu. mour. The house boasted un elegant and crowded au. thence. DRURY-LANE THEATKL.—A successor to the Ma. nagement of this Theatre, in the mom of the hunented Mr. Raymond, has at length been appointed, and the public, we think, will be satisfied with the nomination. Friday the Committee announced to Mr. Henry Erskine Johntson, that he was selected by them to fill the office of Stage Manager, and the intel. ligence was officially promulgated in the Green. room of the Theatre. Much may be expected front the exertions of Mr. Johnston, as the caterer of pub lic amusement, this gentleman being well known to combine, in an eminent degree, all the requisites of taste, long experience, economy, and energy, in bringing forth and superintending of dramatic productions. Bombay papers have been received to the end of May; but they contain nothing iniaidittion to what we have given in another part of our paper. Private advices, however, from Madras give some particulars relative to our dispute with the native chiefs, all calculated to allay the fears which might have been entertained as to the result of the contest The immediate causes of quarrel with the Peishwa arc said to have arisen out of female intrigue. The story of Trintbuckshee and his assassinations has probably not yet been forgotten. Since that Minister made his escape from Tannah, he had em ployed the money and tacit authority of the Peishwa (his master) in secret negotiations with the other Mah. ratta chiefs, who have lung manifested a spirit of en. mity against the government of Great Britain. Not.. withstanding the remonstrances of Sir George Elpbin. stone, the Peishwa's Minister continued his warlike preparations in concert with these confederates. All was known to the English Government ; and so. soon as an adequate force could be piepared, Lord Hastings or. dered the investment of the Peishw•a's capital. That Sovereign attempted no resistance, but submitted with. out firing a shot. The British Minister demanded five of his strongest fortresses as pledges of his future good behaviour. Of these, four were instantly surrendered, namely, Longer, Ituggur, Singur, and Poorunder ; in which last place of safety the Arthieves of his Govern. ment, and his most valuable treasures, were deposited. The intentions of Lord Hastings with regard to the otherchieftains were not accurately known : but as his Lordship had collected a powerful army, it was not pre. sowed that he would let his flirce lie idle, or suffer it to disperse without exacting from the predatory states 501114 j efficient country for the future peace of India.
