The following intelligence bad reached Bushire, from Persia, dated the 15th of :Slay, which is not without importance t (PROlit THE HUIRAUr.) A communication from Persia narrates the circumstance, of an ftrneims murder at Ispaban. The deed was committed on the body of himon Hyrapiet, a respectable Armenian, by the orders of Haim Ilashim Khan, the Chief of a tribe of Shirhonecs. The audacity of this Hakim is said to hate been carried to such a height mat he often made incursions into Ispahan, plundered the shops. burned the houses, and committed other outrages with impunity. The scene of the horrid outrage alluded to was the convent of Sulpha, one of the suburbs of Ispaban. M. Hyrapict was first seised by the servants of the Khan. and forcibly tied up at the gate of the convent. The Bishop of the religious establish:nent solicited pardon in vain, he and the other clergymen being driven back late the church, whilst the hapless victim was shot with a musket. The head was thrown into a pit and the body mutilated. Tile following is an e street from a letter alluding to this atrocity : King am happy to Bind you the intelligence of the arrival of the Kiog of Persia at Ispahan.

The Emile of Saturday contains an account of a trifling skirmish between the Russian army and the Turkish cor don. About forty Cossacks having passed the Pruth to take some cattle, the Turks attacked them, and having killed seven or eight, obliged the rest to recross the river. The Russian army was indignant at this loss, and eight or nine hundred Cossacks again fowled the river, killed a good number of Turks, and afterwards returned to their camp.

An extraordinary courier. despatched from Alcant, brought news yesterday, that on the 19th of this month Colonel Ratan, for. merly political chief of Valencia, and an officer of considerable merit, had just landed at Guartlamar, a small port serer leagues from Alicant, at the head of about a hunt!red men. Alter baying pillaged the town and the church, he threw himself into the moun tains, on receiving information that the reyslist volunteers were ad. vanciog against him in superior numbers, and had already cut off his retreat to the sea. The Government of Alicant has sent 200 infantry in pursuit of this hind, taking all suitable precautions, and it is related that IluzAria is second in command. Sells, formerly cemmander of a free corps, famous for his excesses under the Constitutional Go vernment, has already fallen, with five of his companions, into the hands of the royal troops, rho, it is added, shut them on the spat. A squadron of Muse grenadiers of the royal guard, in garrison at Deana, was to set out to day to force the last entrenchments of these wretches, disgraced by their brigandage, and whose present re treat was always the asylum of malefactors. The ifunheint Gazelle has the following article, ender the head of Russia:—'• Our readers know that there has been a report in all ►he commercial cities of Europe, of an attack of the Turks made by the Russian armies of their own accord. If we may believa ' some private letters, the following is the manner in which the affair happened. About 40 Cossacks had passed the Pruth to take some cattle. The Turks forming the cordon took up arms, killed seven or eight Cossacks, and obliged the others to repass the river. The latter, on returning to their camp, made loud complaint of tha death of their comrades, and demanded vengeance. This event caused a great sensation among the troops; 8 or 900 Cossacks crossed the river, fell on the Turks, of whom they kllied a good number, and returned contented to their camp, where the fermenta tion was allayed by the act of vengeance. There has been another version of a passage of the Pruth. It has been seiri, that the Cossacks pursued one of the indivi dusts implicated in the conspiracy. What is certain is, that nothing has passed the: could give ground for the extravagances which the Journals have published ; one of which spoke of SO,llOO on their march to Constantinople, without Jie orders of their So vereign. TRIESTE, Fmn. Private letters from gyre, of 17th January, affirm that Mr. Stratford Canning, before he continued his voyage to the Darda nelles, had an interview at Hydra with two (limiters of the Greek Government. Letters from Corfu, of 3d February, received by way of Ancona, mention as a report, that the cold had caused vio lent dyseoteries among the Egyptian troops. (From the Courtier Francois.) EarPT:—We have received intelligence from Marseilles, that a copy den official tirman of the Pacha has been received, in which he nominates a Christian, a partner in one of the first met. candle houses is Leghorn, to the post of Minister for Foreign Af. fairs. In future ell his vessels of war are to be commanded by Etiropean °Hiders, who have already seen appointed. He has sent emissaries to France, Italy, and Spain, to recruit for persons who possess any degree of naval skill. The nomination of a Christian to the post of prime 31inister to the Pacha, has produced a great sensation among the Egyptians. [From the Congtilittionnell REECE. NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, DEC. 28. (TXTRACT TROM TIIR OFTICIAL nt:I.LETINS.) Towards the end of the month of November Ibrahim Pacha, after having assed the Alpheus sad burnt l'yrgns, advanced upon Oastouni ; his advanced guard, composed of 4UO cavalry, fell in with Captain Sissini with 200 men, who retired towards a village called Moussnuloumbei. After some fruitless attempts to drive _ . the Greeks from their position, the Egyptians marched to the village of Sambanaga, where they massacred such of the women and children as had not been able to retire. Ibrahim Paths, with 5000 men, presented himself before the village of Barthalarnionl where 1500 Greek guerilla troops, and more than 4000 women and children had remained for some days covered by intrench. meats. This position he continued to assault ice a whole day ; but being foiled in all his attacks, he beat a retreat, which gave the besieged time to intrench themselves in the fort of Chlounioutri. The losses of the Egyptians in these various conflicts are estimated at 500 men. Towards evening 100 Egyptian cavalry again appeared in front of Barthalamion, now evacuated by the Greeks. The ♦illages above opposod them, and drove them back as far as Gastouni. This defeat enraged Itollthim so much, that he marched immediately with 4,500 men, to punish the autlacity of these brave villagers. A courier was des patched immediately to Chloutzi to announce the approach of the enemy, and 150 picked men were immediately despatched from the garrison, under the command of Captain Vera, to the assistance of their brethren in arms. Scarcely had they approached within two leagues of Barthalamion, when a strong detachment of Egyptian cavalry OEOO them battle. They accepted it and the enemy, driven from the main road, were obliged to seek shelter in the adjacent vineyards. The conquerors eagerly pursuing the Egyptians and killing great numbers of them, were suddenly surrounded on all sides by 4,000 infantry,• commanded by Ibrahim Pacha in person. Far from yielding to this superiority of numbers, they faced them boldly, maintained the unequal contest for nine hours, and perished to a man on Abe field of honor; but not before they had killed I,2o(lEgypthiets, and wounded a consider number, who were sent to the camp. This obstinate resistance compelled Ibrahim to discontinue his attacks on the villagers of Barthalamion, who were not lessdemnined than the 150Peloponne sums who had come to their assistance. lie even abandoned the plan which he had formed, returned on his steps, burnt Gastouni, and fixed his camp before Patras. Since that time no military event has takes place in the Elide. Captains Delijauni and Sissini, at the head of 2,000 men, observe the movements of the Egyptians and Ibrahim, whose forces, including the reinforcement landed at Drepano, amount to 6,000 men, seems still undecided as to his future proceedings. Ile lately addressed two autograph letters to the Military Chiefs of the Elide, to induce them to surrender, be cause, as he says, he did not come to devastate the Mores, but to reduce it to order. The only reply was, that the Greeks were de. tcrmined to conquer or die. Since the arrival of General Nicetas on the confines of Arcadia, the Egyptian garrisons which occupy the fortresses of Messinia have discontinued their predatory excur sfons, and their outposts have fallen back under the cannon of Na varino. The last letters which we have received from Greece, adds the Editor, arc very favourable. Colonel Fabvier, by keeping clear of party, conciliates the esteem of the Greeks more and more every day. He is the only foreigner who has continued to maintain any influence in the councils of Greece. Fn or Fuxint.—Psats. Al ascii 3.—Fire per Cents.9Bf. 75e. Three per Cents'. 4i4r. 70e.

It brings us an account of the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States- General, of the 27th of February, in which a debate took place about guaranteeing the loan of 20 millions for the use of the Colonies. M. FABRICS LANGnEE stated that the exports to Java alone amounted to six millions. The superiority of the English trade to India in printed cottons is ascribed to their ridiculously liberal system of:finance, and the recurrence to such a state of things is strongly depre cated. The loan was voted by a majority of 72 to 6. These papers contain also a decree against the brethren of the Christian Schools in the Netherlands. The Burgo masters and Senate of Frahkfort, have made a temporary law for the purpose of remedying the deficiency of their currency, by which the Chamber of Accounts is authorised to purchase gold and silver to the amount of 1,500,000 florins. Bullion notes of 600 ficains each are to be deli vered at the mint to the depositors of gold and silver, and the sums deposited are to be refunded on the Ist of May, 1826, without expense. These notes, in the meantime, are to be received as a legal tender till the Ist May., HAGUE, FEB. 27. SITTING OF THE SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL The Order of the Day was the continuation of the debate on the project of law for the guaranteeing the loan of twenty millions for the use of the Colonies. Al. FABRICE Latinate had much difficulty in forming a de. cisive opinion on the subject. According to Arthur Young, France would have obtained an increase in its revenue to the amount of 120 millions if it had employed for 25 years, in the im provement of the most sterile province, the capital which the co lonies cost during that period. This leads us to ask whether in Belgium, where the manufactories require no less than agri culture the employment of capital, it would be advantageous to make a great sacrifice to preserve the Colonies ? May we con (tire the hope of deriving some advantage front what we shall do fur distant countries, the preservation of which is so precarious, as we are certain that nothing that we create in our own country will be lost. Bow many events may prevent us from having access to the Colonies, or separate us from them for ever ? Does the Government hope to command these events, by making a wise po*.izy follow a prudent admistration ; but who does not know how the genius of evil triumphs over human wisdom ? To solve this question, we must again ask what Are the advantages that the nation can promise itself from hem ? They are chiefly to bz found in the matkets which our manufactures in general find in those countries, and which serve as a conipensatimi fur the chaLks which it meets with at home front foreign competition. fly the information he had obtained from the most respectable mercantile Imams of the mirth and the south, the exports of productions of the Netherlands for Java alone amounted to six millions annually, and the demand is rapidly increasing. Besides there is the Indies a consumption to almost the same amount in printed cottons, but these have hitherto been furnished by the English. This is ascribed to our ridiculously liberal system of finance, which has no less contributed to ruin the Treasury than to injure our own merchants. Ile hoped the Ministers would give the Chamber the assurance that this state of things should nut recur. Such an assurance will have great weight with the Chamber which must besides not forget that the inhabitants of out colonies have not the same reasons as so many other people to try to conquer their independence; they are not deprived of it, and we need only make them sensible that the protection they have front as is the least onerous they could meet with. The Speaker declared that he should vote for the law. So many able speeches were made in Its favour that the Minister of Finance, who, in the absence of the Alinicter of the Colonies, had the task of defending the law, did not think it necessary to enter into long details. On the question being put, it was approved by 72 votes to 0. BKLISSEI,%, MARCH I. A royal decree, of 21st February, ilecla7esWiWthe' ; A 4VlCilitiOn of the Brethren of the Christian Schools" shall not be admitted Into this kingdom. The decree is as follows. " We, Wtiiism, &c. considering the petitions addressed to us in MU by the Brethren of the Christian Schools, to obtain the recognition of their existence in this kingdom, that they may em ploy themselves in the education of youth. Considering the advice of the Council of State on these petitions. Considering the individual declarations made and signed sepa rately by each of the members of this association, in this kingdom, showing its independence on a foreign superior. And having taken into consideration, that several ercumstances have proved, that notwithstanding the aboveni.tntioned declarations, the relations that formerly existed between the Superior General out of the kingdom, and the members of the association in the king dom, have not discontinued. That those brethren of the Christian schools, who were not natives of the country, have already been removed from the kingdom. That the competent authorities in some towns where the brethren were established, have taken measures to replace them in the business of teaching secular persons qualified for it. On the reports of our Ministers of Justice, and of the interior, and of the Director General for the affairs of the Catholic worship, Have thought lit to declare that the association of the brethren of the Christian schools cannot be admitted into this kingdom, and to order in consequence those of our native subjects who form part of this association, and who are still in the kingdom, to lay aside the costume of the brethrtn of the Christian schools, and rot to wear it in future. MARCH 3. The death of M. Pisani de la Claude, Bishop of Namur, haS made a deep Impression in that province, which he had eddied for nearly twenty years. It is said that in his will he begs his Majesty to accept his fine emerald, which is a ring of extraordinary value. The Journal of Mons says, it is mid that the Bishop of Namur has founded by his will three Scholarships in the Philosophical College at Louvain. FRANKFORT, FEB. 26. The following notice ha been published here:— " We, the Burgomasters and the Senate of the free city of Frankfort, after a constitutional Resolution of the Assembly of the Legislative Body of the 2,1t11 February this year, order as follows, to remedy the scarcity of money now felt in the circulation, but only for the duration of the circumstances which render this mea sure necessary : Art. 1. The Chamber of Accounts is authorised to purchase gold and silver coin not legally current, which is ia this city, as well as gold and silver bullion, to the amount of 1,500,00 florins, and accordirg to the tariff which may be seen at the Chamber of Ac counts. _ 2. Every seller has the power of repurchasing, between this time and sth April 1826, on paying down the sum received in notes, without interest and without expense. S. As the mint of this city cannot immediately convert into legal currency the gold and Orier coin and the bullion which it shall have received, the Chamber of Accounts shall deliver tor the sums received in gold and silver coin, or in bullion, notes of 800 florins each, the amount of which shall be repaid to the bearer on the Ist of May, 1826, at the Chamber of Accounts, also without interest and expenses. " 4. From this time to lot May 1826, these notes are to be re ceived as money in all payments, nor can they be refused ; but after the Ist May 11128 they shall be put out of circulation, at d OM not be payable to the bearer except by the Chamber of Ac. Counts. Resolved by Senate in full Assembly, 25th February 1826. " In order to put into execution the law of lath February 1826, the undersigned Chamber of Accounts declares, that it is ready to receive to-day, from ten o'clock, proposals, and to-morrow, from two o'clock in the afternoon, the gold or silver bullion, or gold and silver coin not being legal currency, in exchange for notes of the Chamber, issued for this purpose. " The Chamber of Accounts. " Frankfort, 26th Feb. 1826." The discussion of the general question of the currency, while its operation was supposed to be confined to the in terests of trade and commerce on this aide the Tweed, was carried. on without our neighbours of the Thistle caring at all what course it took; but no sooner does it threaten to cross the border than the whole Northern Hive is thrown into the greatest agitation. The hum of their tumult is heard in every cell, and their stings are out in every direc tion. To interfere with their paper sovereign, the one pound note is like an attempt to massacre the queen bee, and the whole swarm instinctively rush forward to save the com monwealth. The author of Warerky, to the utter surprise of the political economists, has thrown down his mighty gauntlet in this field of controversy. His " Thoughts on the pro peed change of Carrenc.fikmd other late alterations, as they affect, or are intended to afKet, the Kingdom of SCOTLAND," which lately appeared in one of i he Edinburgh Journals, under the signature of MALACHI M MAC ROW THAR, is at length published in the more dignified form of a pamphlet. There is no subject, however dry and discouraging it may be, that will not become attractive and interesting in the hands of Sir WALTER SCOTT. On the present subject the fascina tion of his style is much greater than the force of his reasonings, and his invective is much keener than his argu ment; but both are at times powerful, and are made to tell with considerable effect. He charges the English with being proverbially jealous of innovation. Nolumus leges niutari, he says is written on the skirts of their judicial robes, as the most sacred texts of Scripture were inscribed on the phylacteries of Rabbis. The belief that the common law of England constitutes the perfection of human reason is a maxim bound upon their forehead. Ile does not find fault with this prejudice: on the contrary, he admits it to be a preju dice honourable in itself and useful to the public. " I only find fault with it," says he, " because, like the Friars in the Lacuna, these English Monks will not tolerate in their lay-brethren in the North the slightest pretence to a similar feeling." That the complaints of our lay-brethren on this score are well founded, would not, we think, be very easily proved. He insists, however, that the old say ing is still true in all its points—Touch but a cobweb in Westminster-hall, and the old spider will conic out in de fence of it. But, we would ask, is not Sandy in his turn as faithful to his own prejudices, whether of law or gospel, and does he not bolt the door as strongly against all inno vation ? The fact is, that human nature is dr: same every where ; eery Miller draws the water to his own mill, and we fear it is as true of nations as of individuals, that what it a source of profit will never be surrendered as long as it can he kept. Sir WALT iR complains bitterly of the recent consolida- . , , THE BRITISH PRESS• tion of the Revenue Boards of Scotland wi;h chore of Eng. land, on the recommendation of the Cummiasioners of " The inquiries and result of another C,ernmissitm are too mu to the purpose to be suppressed The object was to inrawigst the conduct of the Revenue Boards in Irehuid sod Scotland. the .former, It la well known, great mismanagement wee disc vend ; for Pat, poor fellow, had been playing the loon to a wei &Tabl extent. In Scotland, cool o shadow) of abuse preced e You would have thought, Mr. Journalist, that the Irish Mom would have been reformed in some shape, and the Scotch establis iiients honourably acquitted, and suffered to continue on the A m log of independence whirl' they had so long_ enjoyed, and o f w hi t they had p•oved themselves so worthy Not so, Sir. Th e g venue Boards in both countries underwent exactly the sarne gulation, were deprived of their Independent consequence, ao placed under Cie superintendence of tingiish control ; the imipeea and the guilty being treated in every respect alike: Now, o o I tide or Scotland, this was like Trinculo losing his bottle in pool—there was nut only dishonour in the thing, bu, au i loss." lie next atxumes, n the ground on which Miniitei proceeded in what he calls " this indiscriminating spplici tion of punishment to the innocent and the culpable ; first, the expediency of reconciling Ireland to the indii nity— " The other reason alleged for this equal distribution of ?p a wl meat, as if it had been the influence of the common tan , or the general rain, to the just and the unjust , was one which is ezireniely predominant at present with our Itlinisters--rhe Necesrity u x! . r oftm ITY in all such cases; and the consideration what an epic. ward thing it would be to have a Board of Exclae or Customs remaining independent in the one country. solely becau s e they bad, without impeachment, niacharged their duty ; while the same establishment was cashiered io another, far no better reason than that it had been misused." But the fallacy of the reasoning lira in assuming the consolidation of the Irish with the English Boards of Re venue, as a punishment inflicted on Ireland for the mis conduct of those persons to whom the collection and manag• mcnt of the Revenue had been confided, and thence insisting on the injustice of extending the infliction to Scotland, whose public Boards had not offended; whereas the act adverted to was not a measure of punish- tnent, but a measure of rdirrm ; its olject was to remedy the ahtis(s which prevailed, and which, from the distance and the difficulty of prevention, it had become iinpossilik to correct hut by putting the whole direction under out system of management, and subjecting to a more prompt and citi:ctive responsibility. If the necessity of extending the same system to Scotland was not so urgent, it wit at least w;aranted by the same principle of utility, and so period could have been better chosen to carry it into effect. Sir WALTER flatters his thrifty countrymen a little too strongly, if he fancies them so pure in office as to be unas. sallable by corruption. Jobbing is not so wholly unknown in the Land of Cakes as to bring blame on Ministers for the mere endeavour to provide against it. When Sir IVALTga comes more immediately to the sub ject of the currency, and to the prohibiting the issue of small notes in Scotland as well as in England, be mani festly puts forth all his strength to combat the measure. The following is in the true style of " Me great Ux. KNOWN :" •• This levelling system, notequitable in itself • is infinitely unjust ; if a story, often told by my poor oid grandfather, was true, which I own 1 ant inclined to doubt. The old man, Sir, had learned in his youth, or dreamed in his dotage, that Scotland had become an integral part of England—not in right of conquest, or rendition. or through any right of inheritance—but in virtue of a solemn Treaty of Uxtow. Nay, so distinct an idea hal he of this supposed treaty, that he used to recite one of its articles to this effect • That the laws in use within the kingdom of Scotland, do, after the Union, Terrain in the same three as before, but alterable by the Parliament of Great Britain, with this difference between the has concerning public right, policy, and ciril government, and the* which concern private right, that the former may be made the same through the whole united kingdom ; but that no alteration be mat on laws which concern private right, excepting for the evident utility of the shltirets within Scotland.' When the old gentleman came to the passage, which you will mark in italics, he always clenched his fist, and exclaimed, 4 Nemo me impose lace:Mr which, I presume, are words belonging to the black art, since them is no one in the Modern Athens conjuror enough to understandtheir meaning, or at least to comprehend the spirit of the sentio,ent which my grandfather thought they conveyed. 44 I mono , . help thinling, Sir, that if there had beat any 4ruth in my grandfather's story, some Scotish Member woald, on the late occasion, have informed the Chancellor of the Exchequer. that, in virtue of tl:is treaty, it was no sufficient reason for innovating upon the private rielts of Scotsmen in a most tender and delicate point, merely that the Right Honottrible Gentleman saw no man why the came law should not be current through the whole of his Majesty's dominions ; and that, on the contrary, it was incumbent upon him to go a step further, and to show that the alteration pre. posell was for the evident utility of the subjects within Scotian:l— a propositiou disavowed by the Right Honourable Gentleman's candid admission, and by that of the Prime 31inistt.s. " Methit,ks, Sr, oar • Chosen live-and-forty,' supposing the had bound them:a:lves to Ministers by.swelr oaths of silence and obedience, as are taken by Carthusian tridrs, must have had fire will and speech to express their sentiments, had they been possessed of so irrefragahle en argument in such ara e of extremity. The sight of a father's hie iti danger is said to have restored the PM , of language to the dumb ; and truly, the necessary defence of the rights of our nu:ive country is not, or at lent ought not to be, ales animatim , motive. hordisuderdale almost alone interfered, and procured, to his infinite honer, a delay of sic manila in the extension of this Act— a :tort of reprieve ream the southern jaugs—by which we may hove some chance of profiting, if, during tne interval, we can show Our selves true Scotsmen, by some better proof than merely by bei4 wise behind the hand.' It is most certainly true that under the present sys:ein of banking the commerce of Scotland hes flourished, hEr agriculture has advanced, and the whcle fabric of her prosperity has gained consolidation and strength. But it would be n great error to ascribe these results to herperr cur rency, becaus: they have co-existed with it. This would Ce to resort to the known logical sophism, lost hoc ergo, protter hoc. It is enough, we admit, for 111AL/tent's argument to show that prosperity and the paper system have gone on healthily together, and to protest against their forcible se paration beyond Gretna-green, in consequence of any tli vorce that may take place on this side of it. Bat we &:0.1 he validity of every part of his reasoning as drawnfrcia the Articles of CVOs. The • Article above qiiottll quoted correctly, and the words omitted are csvntial the true constructiou of it. 11e will give it as it studs :a the Treaty— " XVI 1 1. That the Laws concerning Regulation of Trade. 0.• toms, and such Excises, to which Scotland is, by virtue of this Trott. to be liable, be the same in Scotland, from and after the Un'oP , in England ; and that oil other laws in use, within the kirgtioi of Scotland, do. atter the Union, and notwithstanding thereof, tra 4 ' n in the same force as before (except such au, are contrary to, ca consi.tent with this treaty), but alterable by the Parliament. a Great Britain, with this difference betwixt the laws corcemot public right, polity, and civil government, and those which CA cern private right ; that the laws which concern public right. ro . lity and civil government, may be made the some throughout ?he whole United Kingdom; but that no alteration be made in Inn which concern private rigid, except for evident utility of the ash. jccta within Scotland." Now, we would ask MALACHI MALAOROMTPISP -04 we would put the question to his patriotic old grandfaher if he were living—what can more vitally affect the silo system of trade and every branch of our manufacture s than the quality and condition of the currency ? Now , i f the laws concerning the regulation of trade is to bz " f i same in SCOTLAND, from and after the Union, as in EO . LAND," it would clearly follow that a law which affect Me curren,-y—which beyond all others concerns the ?vs' hitiun of trade—should be the same in both countries. A broad and very intelligible line is drawn in th" clause of the Treaty of Union between the la" which concern public and private right ; hitt the 1 4 ' sage which made the old gentleman clench his llsfr" is tilisvrably misapplied when it is brought forward to pm", that Government cannot put an end to the c'rculation of nue and two pound notes in Scotland, without a breach of that solemn compact which united the crosses of Sr. A NUKK %V and Sr. GEORGE. Whit has the regallti" d , the national currcury to do with any In lode right , Wh: valid pretext of this sort can be opposed to the exerele _j that protec.ive policy which the public interest is Wl' quiry.
