PARIS. [room ova cum PAIII - 111, JAIL 15. DL VILLILI is no longer deceived in the effect likely , re sult from his prgjett de lei for the indemnity; this pro -0 has not only been repelled by the nation at large, to kith, by the way, the Minister pays but little regard, at by the emigrants themselves, whom lie was desirous of eer i a g, and who, with the priests, is the only power he , p ,,es to respect at the present moment. The Change IA Bourse) has hitherto been the only Champ de Bataille ,h eee the emigrants could give a vent to their anger, but ,ey now expect that the Tribune will open to them a new 4 4 1, more promising and of greater extent. Since the prin nn of justice on which it is pretended the indemnity is „w e d has been acknowledged, their pretensions, as I inti gated in my last, appear to know no bounds. The idea of , n e iriog merely a tente of three per cent. upon the value of d u i t hey have lost, is revolting to their high expectations, I nd excites a sentiment of indignation. It is not for them- Oyes they are now desirous of an indemnity, but for the pneeinsers of that national property to which they claim to be restored, and also to be paid up the unreceived rents of •he last thirty years, and also the restitution of des renter ;atrial, their revenues from the state which have been con noted. The party have already in the press a voluminous -onion, in which these pretensions are to be set forth and .upported. The emigrants, who form a great part of the anion Chamber of D. puties, find themselves in rather an embarrauce. situation, and are obliges! to act with more cir cumspection than their brethren out of doors; the new law is likewise by no means to their taste; the favours for which they are indebted to the Minister operate as a restraint spon their resistance to his will. They feel, however, that a positive law, that would affirm the principle of the intlem .iity to be founded on justice, would be to them invalu- able, and that it would be highly impolitic on their part to .eject such a law, merely because they might be displeased with the mode of its execution. 'ffacy were in hopes that if. De VI LLE Ls, after having decided on making two laws, could have entirely separated the one confirming the prin. iple of indemnity from that which should settle the ode of carrying it into effect ; in this case they would save found themselves quite at their ease, and no considera 'on, either personal or political, could have prevented their dopting the tinnier and rejecting the latter. But M. Dr 'luau, who is pretty keen-sighted when the security of is own power is in question, foresaw where this reasoning ould end. and rendered it impossible, by introducing into , • e body of the law, which should confirm the principle of ie indemnity, the clause which determines it to be paid three per cent. stock. There remains then but one re uree for the Chiefs of the Opposition de Droite, which is • to manage it, that the first law shall be adopted with an amendment altering the clause of paying the indemnity in line per cents., and mustering all their force to have the •nat law repealed relative to the conversion of stock. M. DL VILA ale, well aware that it would not be prudent proceed too rapidly, is desirous of prevailing on the ricstliood to temporize a little, and to yield a little in their • etensiuns. He has granted them the laws relative to allege and upon the religious communities, hoping that his will content them for this year, and that they will not mist on the /of sue d'etat civil, and the right to indemnity. • set the clergy are impatient of delay, and insist, at all :vents, on having the dui stir Petal civil (the Marriage Act) passed this Session ; and the Minister finding himself ob 'Aged to submit, has sent to Rome to remove the difficulties which are presented by the contradictions which exist be :ween the laws of the church and the civil laws, respecting matrimony. As for the indemnity, the clergy seem dis i,,, posed to wait a while. But what makes them attach such 'rent importance to the introduction of the word sacrilege to our legislation is, that, according to the church, sacri ge principally consists in invading the property of the ergy. Sacrilege was once punished by our laws with eath, and the priests will consider themselves authorised anathematise all who ale in possession of property be ging to the church before the Revolution ; and they ca ll that the Minister, to prevent this new source of diaor , will hasten to indemnify them. On the other hand, the gy will not consent that their indemnity should be in oncy or in stock, but in solid acres, and that the Govern eta shall either restore them to their ancient domains, or rchase them other landed property of equal value. You may easily conceive what is likely to be the con- Twee:" of all this, when these endless causes of private •mension are added to the existing mass of general discon ut. I learn that there is one family of emigrants, which • e new law has already induced to commence nine actions inst their kindred ; these proceedings have in them the of civil war, and France exhibits the spectacle,—not uncommon as it may appear,—of a Government con icing to effect its own overthrow. TUE LATE EARTHQUAKE IN PERSIA. IFrom the Bombay Gazette of September 0.1 We are indebted to a correspondent in Persia, who was n eye-witness, for the following account of the dreadful irthquake that has devastated so much of what is interests ig in that ill-fated country. .KHAN NUMAH NEAR SHIRAZ, JUNE 23, 1824. This monting, about half-past five A.M. I was disturbed at of a sound sleep by the violent commotion of an arthquake, of much greater force than the one 1 sent you in account of from Khonartueta on the ZI inst. My first inject was to move out of the house, but to accomplish it was difficult and dangerous, owing to the number of large bricks, pieces of wood, and mortar, falling from the roof all mend the outside of the house, and a few stones and cha lam from the ceiling inside that had been previously injured. having happily effected my escape without injury to nyself or servants, I walled out of the garden to see what =age Shiraz had suffered : the first sad effect that I oh erred was the complete destruction of the Shaw Mee: Ally ,titia Hams, a beautiful mosque about 400 yards in front t this garden, and perhaps the nine distance from ;him ; its finely ornamented cupola had fallen in, and the ody of the building was rent in every part. Shiraz itself ass enveloped in dust, nor could I for many minutes see any Sing else, but this sad sight was enough to show that it .ad suffered severely. As the dust cleared away, it was lily awful and distressing to see the ruins of the fine stately boques and minarets, a few minutes before the chief enaments of the town, but now a shapeless mass, and each uneeding minute, as it vanished, some fresh object present its shattered form. The eastern side of the wall that urraunded the town, and the only face discernible from ens, has fallen in, and most of the towers were laid level ith the ground, and the remainder much injured. But ielancholy and distressing as what I have attempted to de cribe may he, what is it compared to the sufferings of the mfortunate inhabitants ? The cries and lamentations of liousands, bewailing the loss of relations, friends, and every sting dear, resounded in the air, and were enough to soften he hardest heart: you may then easily conceive what my f 'eitogs were, indeed arc at this moment, hearing dis mal cries and mournful lamentations in every quarter. To Wally thing like an accurate account of tl:e sufferers will take some days. Since the first great shock, and between bat time and ten o'clock, there has been three shocks, though smart, nothing compared to the first. I 'test., *ckted my tent in the garden, and intend occupying it ; due comparative degree of safety will more than compensate tor the comforts of the house. The inhabitants have qua lm! the town, and are living in tents, routies, and under ._ e utslies outside. Meru Ally Aebor (our Agent) poor fel ow, anal his whole family, are living with me ; his house is Completely d estroye d ; an d Z a k ee Kh an ' s (the Minister) , mite in ruins ; the Prince's state room destroyed, and every part of the palace has been much injured e short, I be lieve not alionse has escaped without som e]ury, and most of them its ruins; the tine Bazar is still standing, but much thsken and injured. The exact number of those who have aeribl.eil in the ruins I cannot ascertain. Mesas Ally Idijr assures me that 2,000 is under die number, but re !ive mare conjecture and report only ; I should Mink half the nuralia nearer the mark. %""~rsa~ •.• J...,. ~~ f INDIA. [From the Calcutta Gcncrumeut Gazette of Aug. 16.1 Yesterday accounts were received from Chittagong of the evacua tion of Rantoo by the Burmese. This information is founded on the deposition and letter of two natives from that quarter. One of them, with seventeen others in company, on reaching the flukhalee river on the 27th of July, met with a mug woman, who, on being asked why there were no Burmese about the place, re plied, that they had all fled from Ramoo. The party creased in a hoar, and went into the fort, where they found the fires burning, the food ready dressed, but not a single man. They entered several houses, which were all deserted. Two of the party went to the southward towards Rutna Pu Hung, to look after some of the Mutsu!man Ryots, but they saw no one. They then went to the eastward, and on returning, reported that the Burmese must have retired by the road over the Sonacharry or 11lug1atung hill. There were many broken dhows and digging tools scattered about the forts, but no other weapons. These particulars are corroborated by others who had also visited the stockade at Ramoo. The most probable cause of the evacuation of Ramoo by the Burmese, is the alarm excited at the court of Ara, by the failure of the grand attempt to drive our army into the sea at Rangoon, on the let of July, and the tremendous overthrow which the Bur mese troops received on the Oth. On the receipt of those accounts, nothing is more likely than an immediate order for the recall of the Burmese force from Ramoo anti Aracan would be issued, for the purpose of their proceeding to the assistance of the armies opposed to us at Rangoon. We know that the Burmese at Rangoon were badly armed, and that the Ramoo force was must efficient in that respect. By our last letters from the Sylhot frontier, dated the 31st ult. (July) we learn that, in consequence of the position which Col. Innes had occupied at Juttrapore proving to be very unhealthy, the force under his command had dropped down the river, and taken up quarters for the remainder of the wet season in some elevated and more healthy situations in the vicinity of Budderpottr. The first division of gun-boats, under the command of 31r. Keymer, had joined the Colonel's forcce. The enemy, it appears, had not of late ventured to leave their hills and fastnesses, on marauding excursions, as they had formerly been in the habit of doing. Our troops are represented to be in the best possible spirits, and to com plain of no privation, except that of being kept front the enemy by the constant heavy rains, and the inundated state of the country. Our accounts from Chittagong extend down to the 3d inst. (Au gust). Nothing particular had occurred in that quarter lately. RAMOO. The following particulars respecting the Stockades at Ramno, have been received from a party from the V, .11 cruiser, who vi. sited it on the 10th ittstant:— .... The Stockades, three in number, are very strongly built and about one mile square; In the centre Is a high mound, erected as a place of 100k -out, and for the Burmese Officers to retire to, as they had not spared any trouble to make themselves comfortable. There are!utli:ient barracks within each Stockade for the accommodation of 10,000 men, but from the horrid stench inside, it would be im. possible for any of our troops to remain there during the rains. The houses are perfectly dry and very well built. They could not have had less than 20,000 men to have built the three Stockades and houses in so short a time. They appear to have gone away in great hurry, leaving their shoes behind them, and a great quantity of rice and paddy. A golden chute also was found by one of the party, and is now in his possession. An account of the retreat of the Burmese has been obtained fro.n a Mug, who was a prisoner in their camp, and contrived to make his escape, in the neighbourhood of Tek Nasf. He states that the Rajah of Acracan, and two Sirdars from Ava, evacuated their respective Stockades, and proceeded, without halting, b Rutna I'ullung, to the sea beach, as far as Burled, near Tek Naaf. The Slug, although in fetters, with a collar of iron round his neck, contrived to get away while the Burmese were asleep. He beard them say that their retreat was in consequence of an order from the King, the English having taken Rangoon, and at. tacked other parts of the country.—Thc Government Gazette, August 16. 'From the Bengal Ilurkaru, Aug. 10.1 Letters from Ilhopalpore, dated the 25th ult. (July), make men tion of a brilliant little affair, which took place on the prrceding day, between a detachment under the command of Captain Gewaal. of the 60th regiment of Native infantry, and the adherents of Koonur Chyn Sing, the Ex-Chief of Nursinghur. The Ex-Chief was killed, together with eighty of his follower': while, on our side, a subodar, a havilder, and six sepoys, were wounded.

MARSfI, STRACiref et :q " C O. Yesterday there was a Meeting of the. Oregon of Marsh and Compan y. Mr. KNIGHT alluded to his former request, which he thought • reasonable one—a pledge that he should be furnished with an ac count of the bankrupts estate, for the benefit of the creditors whose interests he rrpmented. He complained of the conduct of Mr. Gordon in withholding those accounts. A Commissioner said, that any complaint against Mr. Gordon had better be deterred till the clime of the meeting. Mr. Pot.t.ocx, on the part of Mr. Stracey, said, that if there was one solitary creditor who wished to have the accounts before him, previous to the bankrupts passing their examination, he would postpone the passing day, till the creditors should be sa tisfied. Mr. ME REWETII en acquiesced in the same opinion. Mr. KNIGHT proceeded —As a matter of right on the part of those creditors who had proved their debts, he claimed first, a copy of the former account furnished by the bankrupts, and also that in the hands of Mr. AVilkinson, the accountant, before the bankrupts should pass their examination, and he did not know where an assignee could be found hardy enough to refuse arch a request.—(Hear that I) A Commissioner rebuked these interruptions. Every gentleman should be heard fairly, without marks either of applause or other. wise. Another Commissioner said that the accounts must all be signed first, before they could be passed. Several creditors here proved their debts. Mr. MONT►GUE wished, for the convenience of his Learned Friend Mr. Pollock, with whom he was, that the l'ommissioners would meet tmmormw morning, at ten o'clock, when the Bank of England were to make some prnposition. A Creditor wished to know whether the creditors had received intimation to that effect. No gnawer was given. Mr. 310•T•OttE then observed, that the assignees wished to sr. ford every facility to the creditors, in producing the accounts. On a former day he had expressed himself rather too hastily, but he was sere the creditors would feel that he did it in the spirit of good intention, and not from any desire to go out of his way. The as signees had, shire the presentation of the former accounts, recon sidered them, and also employed every intelligent accountant, and the result was. that though the accounts were in form much dif ferent, yd they were in substance the sante. He had now a draft of an advertisement, which would inform the public as to the time of meeting. Mr. MarnEw wished to know whether a copy of the accounts would be given—yes or no—or if they were to be withheld alto- gether ? Mr. Mosraottx— Withheld ; I beg that word may not be imputed to the assignees. It is their wish to give • copy of the ac counts already made out, with an inspection of Mr. Wilkinson's accounts ; and if, upon that inspection, the creditors should be un satisfied. then a copy of the whole would be given. Mr. K wins! T would rather have, copy of the whole. Mr. MONTAGUE objected, on account of the expense. Mr. MAYHEW said the expense was nothing; the creditors had contributed, and it was but proper they should have a fair account of all. Mr. MONTAGUE then objected on the score of time. Mr. WILKINSON said, that be could make out a copy in a week from this day. The Commiesioners ordered it to be done. Mr. KNIGHT then proposed, that they should adjourn for two nnmthe from this day. Mr. PoLLOCK gaol that three weeks would be sufficient. 'rhiat ime was objected to be several. Mr. MONTAOI'E then proposed six weeks. It was the wish of the assignees to take the evidence of the bankrupts as early as pos sible, and he thought six weeks would be full time. %lr. KNIGHT here asked the trustees, Mr. Holland and Knight if they were satisfied with their examination of the accounts Mr. BOLLARD said, that he was satisfied with what he had ex amined. There was some trifling items, into which he did not think it necessary to look. Mr. Kietun T made a similar answer. Mr. Momnux the.i wished the trustees to state what time they had devoted to the business. The Trustees answered—mostly every day. The C 0,611011 SERGEANT :hen said, that six weeks• adjourn. ment would answer all parties—it would just be before the Circuits commenced. _ After sonic further observation.. it was fixed that they should adjourn to Monday, the 28th of February, at nine for ten in the morning. A Creditor observed, that it was most desirable for the benefit of all the creditors that there should be a continuous elimination ; he trusted that the Commissioners would fix any day but Tuesday or Saturday. lie wished them to give their undivided attention to the examination of the ►ooks, and begin early. The Commissioners said they would endeavour to arrange it so, but they could not sit from nine in the morning till nine at night. The Creditor said he only wished that no other bankruptcy should be taken on the same day. This was assented to, and Monday, the 28th of February, de cided on as the day for passing their final accounts. THE "TWIN LETTERS." The following are the "twin letters" (u they were ap propriately called by Mr. Dennran)—both written on the same day by Mr. Kean, one to the guilty wife, the other to the injured husband : (Post-mark) Exeter, Jan. 6, MS. Dear little imprudent Girl—Your incaution hu been very near bringing our acquaintance to the most lamentable crisis : of course he will show you the letter I have written him; appear to countenance it, and let him think we are never to meet again. and in so doing he has lost a friend : leave all further ar rangements to me. My aunt desires her best wishes to you, not withstanding her anger, she says, of your conduct before him. Love shields the object of its wishes, not exposes it. All shall be shortly as you wish. Mrs. Simpson, care of M rs. Matthews, 12, Tavistock-row, Covent-garden, London. (Post-mark) Exeter, Gth Jan. 1823. My dear Cox,--I have been seriously considering the mass of nonsense uttered by us the two last nights at Salisbury. 1 must own likewise they have given me great uneasiness. If I have paid more attention to your family than any other of my ac quaintances, the simple motive was, to show the world that I va lued my friends as much in adversity as when I shared their hospitality in their prosperity. I ant sorry my conduct has been misconstrued, as the inference is unworthy of yourself, me, and a being, whose conduct, lam sure, is unimpeachable. To re. move all doubts upon the subject, and to counteract the effects of insidious men, I shall beg leave to withdraw a friendship, ren dered unworthy by suspicion. I must be the worst of villains, if I could take that man by the hand while meditating towards him an act of injustice. You do not know Inc. Cox; mine are follies—nut vices. It has been my text to do all the good I could in the world and when I am called to a superior bourne, my memory may be blamed, but not despised. Wishing you and your family every blessing the world can give you, believe me nothing less than, Yours most sincerely, EDMUND KEEN. - R. A. Cnx, Esq. 6, Wellington-street, Waterloo-bridge, London. We observe that a meeting has been held at the George Inn, Axminster, of landowners and other:, the object of which was to create an opposition to the proposed Sh;p Ca nal across :he isthmus of , Somersetshire. to unite the Eng lish and Bristol Channels. We have snide inquiry re specting this meeting, and find that no previous notice was published to convene it, and that it was attended by from fourteen to sixteen persons, some of whom were not land owners. It seems to us quite clear, from all that we have heard and seen respecting the Canal, that the object of not previously advertising the meeting win fully answered, by confining it to the little junto we have already mentioned ; for we know enough of the sense of the owners and occu piers of land generally to he convinced, that had publicity been given to the meeting, such a string of resolutions would never have been carried ; indeed, we should have been surprised had their tenor not been of the most oppo site description. The character of. the meeting at Axmin ster is sufficiently evinced by the circumstance, that all the resolutions, which are in all respects decidedly hostile to the Canal, were carried unanimously, which could not have been the case had the meeting been properly convened.— Evening Paper. FIR E.-14 riday night, about ten minutes after eight o'clock, a fire broke out in a shop in Bell-street, which would have been attended with most disastrous effects had it remained ten minutes huger unobserved. The fire had communicated from a cast-iron stove to a wooden partition, which separated it from a spirit cellar. Close to the parti tion were three large tuns of 700 gallons each, one of which was full, and there was a considerable quantity in the other two. There was no person in either of the shops at the time, and when the keeper of the cellar entered, he found the place filled with smoke, and the partition in a blaze. In a few minutes they got the fire suppressed ; but there can be no doubt that had it communicated with the body of spirits, it would have blown up the premises, and have in volved the surrounding properties in ruin. Stoves of this description ought to be entirely prohibited. It is impos possible to regulate their temperature; and if they arc placed in contact with wood, the most dangerous results may occur.

FROM LLOYD'S LIST. The equalization of the wine and beer measures which~ takes place on the Ist of May next, is important. The old wine gallon contained 231 solid inches, and that of beer 51112; the new equalised gallon is to contain 277 solid inches, which will be an increase of one-fifth in the size as compared with the old gallon. Another measure, said to be now in contemplation, is the reduction in the duties on all wines; it is-thought French and other wines (('apes excepted) will all be put upon au equal footing, and only pay a duty of Ss. per gallon.

[From the Devonshire Preeholder.l It was with surprise, and we confess with some doubt as to the correctness of the statement, that we read in Treirman's Flying Past of the 13th inst., the extraordi nary advance that has taken place on iron, and, n nwith standing the caution and great respectability of that jour nal, we were disposed to consider they laboured under some erroneous information, and so we should have considered at this time, had we not been assured, by a Gentleman on whose veracity we can place the utmost reliance, that in stating " Bars, which some time since met a dull sale at 7!. per ton, can now scarcely be obtained for 13/., while pig iron has even exceeded this, being now more than one hundred and twenty-one per cent. beyond what it was a short time since," they were correct. That this article, in times like the present, when the d&- mends of the Ordnance and the Navy are, for the present, unknown, should experience such a rise, is, to many, matter of astonishment ; but we conceive a little reflection will easily account for what perhaps is not within the re cords of history to parallel, and will likewise continue, if not to the extreme of the prices now quoted, at least very near them. The legitimate effects of peace arc now beginning to be enjoyed throughout a large part of the civilized world, and the children of genius, enterprise, and industry, are calling into action those powers for which our country stands un rivalled. To give full effect to this, a great demand is ne cessarily made for this most valuable of all metals, as not any improvement of much importance can be effected with out receiving its important aid. Two rail-roads alone, now contemplated to be eligible for " tradin and commercial purposes, one from London to Edinburgh, and the other from Birmingham to Liverpool, with the necessary carriages for the conveyance of goods on them, will, we are informed by a correspondent, re quire little if any thing less than Two Hundred Thousand Tons!! This, with a commerce extending now in every direc tion, with every possible encouragement, calls on the ma nufacturer to supply what must be produced by the in ventive ingenuity of the mechanic, who, in his turn, to carry into effect the plan he has contemplated, must apply to the mine for this soul of his invention ; and when we consider that those efforts, however boundless and colossal they may be in extent, are not, as in other countries, cramped and shackled for want of means to bring them to maturity, as the countless millions of our capitalists are ever ready to support any measure that carries with it the least probability of a moderate reward for the sum investee in the speculation ; this encouragement too, instead of de creasing, has a contrary effect every year, from the decreas ing value of money in our public funds, which stimulates its tells of thousands to activity and usefulness, which the maddening influence of war had rendered hardened and in different to every valuable pursuit. Those are a few of the reasons which induce us to con clude that iron will continue to maintain high prices. Our worthy collector, John Gordon, Esq. had the plena ing information to communicate to the Earl of Liverpool, that the receipts of Customs for the port of Bristol, in the past year, exceeded those of the year preceding by 40,000/.
