Jones arrived at Bombay, charged with a missiots from his own to this Court. The Gover nor-General of ludic, Lord Mite% lied previously deputed General Malcolm, up the Gulf of Persia, for the *some purpose. Tiw sailed from Boutbsy after he received intelligence of the arri val of the King's Ambassador in lodin, and tiuve days previous to the arrival oldie latter at Bombay. There, from !natives of delicacy, Sir Ilarford Jones awaited I VII the 110,Lie of General Mat. colon's mission. unwilling to clash authorities, and with the perfect approbation of the Gover n or.G, neral, wbo, hmiever, told him lie hail III 1) controill over his depar4rtt, On the 1211 i of August Sir IL.

Accordingly, en the 17th of Septetnber,Sir Hr Jonas sailed from &nullity, and arrived - at Bushire on the 12th of the following mouth. He immediately notified his arrival as His Majesty's Envoy, to the Persian Ministry. While waitiug for the answer, he received a letter from the Go►enor- General, directed to him at Bombay, requesting him to suspend his departure. When he received this letter, he had not only sailed from India, but had actually commenced his negociations in Persia. It was therefore impossilde fur him to obey, in any shape, Lord Miuto's letter. On the 17th of De cember Sir 11. doers set off from Bushire, for the capital, a journey of 700 miles. Nothing I ould equal the distinguished honour and respect with which hr was treated. On the road he received a letter from the King of Persia, declaring His Ma jesty's desire to see him i tttttt ediately, and request ing him to expedite his journey to the capital. flu the eve of his departure from Schyraz, Sir IL Jones received a second letter from Lord Mints, (Weil •tOth October, by which he suffered a period of 36 days to elapse, without giving Sir H. any in structions whatsoever. This diepatch required that Sir Harford. in whatever eituat the letter should hod him, should immediately retire from the Persian terri tories. It likewise informed 6ifto , that Gement Malcolm was ensuing up the Gulf with a hotly of troops, to teke forcible possession of the Island of Karack. Ciifortuuately, this latter intelligence readied Sehyriis *l3'4m:l-thirty hours before the re ceipt of Lord Alinto's letter. 'The dismay and confusion occasioned by this report, it is impossible to describe. %Visite the Persiais Ministry were utterly at a loss to reconcile the actual appearance•of the King's Envoy io Persia, in a pocitic character, with the hostile proceedings of the Governoo-Generab it ioust be enures:sett that it required some exertion to get our Envoy out of the scrape. Sir Herford, however, overeame all difficulties, and he set off for !sputum. 'fere fresh reports were succeeded by letters from General 'Malcolm himself, specifyiug the day lie could act/tally leave Bombay. Sir El. Junes had again to go through scenes, similar to those which took place at Schrift, and indeed hi had almost iusurniminteble difficulties to contend with. General Gardantie, the French Ambassa dor, was still at Ttelwan„ making every possible exertion to prevent Sir Hurford Jones's approach. Messengers were hourly expected from France, with intelligence, that all the King of Persia's pro posals to the government had been complied with. General Malcolm, if not actually arrived, might be within sight of the coast, and Sir Hayford Jones found himself at a distance of eio miles from the teat of Government, surrounded by a set of men, who could delay his departure for Ispahan as long as they Hewed, and who were not only able, but willing. to take airy advantage of the sukward pre dicainent hi winch he stood.

We noticed. on S.iturday, the arrival of Mr. Moatce, private Secretary to Sir H•aroap Jeers, the British Envoy to the Court of Persia. Mr. plashes is the bearer of dispatches, annisionring the .cninpletv overthrow or the French influence in Petsia, the departure of the French Gnieral GAR DAIS N z front the capital, and all eotroterpart of a Treaty concluded by our Envoy, on the 13th of March, with the Persion Goveninsent. It appears, that, in the execution of this important mission. Sir HARroelb JONES acquitted himself with great ability, but that Lord Mawr°, the Governor-C. e .. sera! in India, has divested him of his polity: functions. and apprised the Persian Court that Le is only to be considered es a private person. Lord NitriTo's ragmen' are nut stated, but they are pro bably connected with the circumstance of General hbis.cous having betn deputed, upon a similar mission, by the Government of India. The King of PERSIA has, however, declared his drtcrmination to adhere to the treaty, and has detained Sir Haanse s . Jortu until he receives intelligence from the Court of St. James's, to vrhidi he has sent a Charge-tka 4aisirts, with a formal complaint against the con. duct of the Government of India in the business.

The Cos raw Extraordissary w not the Official Paper, but it adds, that public rejoicings had taken place, a circumstance that must be known to the Editor, and which confirms the account of the arrival of official iutelligence on the subject.—This is the only mention in the Dutch Papers of a Treaty actually signed, with the exception of an article under the Paris head, which states, that instead of a Peace, it is u Truce for 2u years that has been concluded. The length of time which has inter veiled, without bringing us the details of the Treaty, or even an Official account of its actual conclusion. ha; excited some surprise, and induced some persons to entertain a doubt of the fact.— The German Papers, however, although they have no newels-ow 'View's later than the iSth last, five days previous to the alleged Ogning of the treaty. contain some paingraphs, which, if they •do not directly corroborate the account in The Arasturdare Courrnst, certaitily prepare the mind to receive it.
