This Company, from its various plans of accommodation, affords a greater facility to parties wishing to insure, than any establish ment of the kind in London. 1. It allows the premiums to be paid quarterly, half-yearly, or annually, as may best suit the convenience of the assured. 2. It allows (when the insurance is for life), half of the annual premium to remain unpaid for five years, at interest, to be deducted eventually from the Policy. 3. It adopts the principle of an ascending and descending scale of premiums, which is equally applicable to the opulent and those of limited income ; and, from the moderate and judicious rate of its premiums, particularly on the younger ages, and for short periods, is well deserving the attention and patronage of the public. 4. Policies are granted on very moderate terms, payable on the death of two or three parties (as the case may be,) so as to render leasehold property held upon lives nearly equal in value to lands held in perpetuity. ANNUAL PREMIUM FOR ASSURING 1001. ESTABLISHED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT, 1801. Reynolds. He again repeated that he thought it impos sible for the fire he kindled to be dangerous. After the close of the examination of this witness the Council adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The inquiry is expected to last several days, as a vast number of witnesses are to be examined, who were ordered to be in attendance precisely at one o'clock. Among the gentlemen waiting we observed Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod; Mr. Courteney, Mr. Pulman, Deputy Black Rod ; Sir F. Roe, &c. The inquiry excites the most unbounded interest. By late letters from Constantinople, it appears that Russia has induced the Porte to increase the cessions on the eastern shores of the Black Sea, stipulated by the treaty of Adrianople. By other means, no less unjustifiable, Russia is peopling her own desert regions 'on the Caucasi an f ron ti er , b y f orc i ng t h e A rmen i ans to quit the Persian for the Russian provinces. The fol lowing letter, which we are enabled to lay before our readers, gives, from the first source, the means employed by Russia to draw to her the Armenian subjects of Persia. It is an interesting document. The letter is dated the month of Schewwal (July), 1243 (1828), and addressed by the late Hereditary Prince of Persia, Abbas Mirza, to M. Lazard?, mili tary commander of Tauris, during the occupation of the province of Aserdeidschan by the Russian army, under General Paskewitsch.

By ROBERT MONTGOMERY, B.A. Author of " The Messiah," " Woman, the Angel of Life," From a•Corre§pondent.) Yesterday and Saturday a great many persons who visited the ruins of the late Houses of Parliament appeared very anxious to carry away with them something in corn menioration of the fire. One gentleman seemed to value the broken corner of a painted side table, which he picked up in the Speaker's garden, as a most valuable relic. Another gentleman as highly prized some of the lead of the water pipes, which had run with the heat on the ground, and became mixed with pieces of glass and dirt. Frag ments of burnt wood were caught up in all directions, pieces of composition ornaments were looked upon as great treasures, and every corner was torn off the zinc roofing of a part of the Speaker's house which had been thrown on the ground ; nay, some of the very plants were pulled out of the pots in the Speaker's garden to be placed in the gardens of the persons who thus obtained them.

IMPROVED SERIES OF W. G. LEWIS'S CATECHISMS OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. LEMENTARY BOOKS like the following A must of necesssity be, in a great measure, mere compila tions, and the principal portion of originality to which the Editor can lay claim, consists in his plan, and in the introduction of Ety mological and Pron ounc i ng Vocabularies of the technical terms. The great advantages resulting from the introduction of the Technical Vocabularies, are too obvious to require any observation. The Editor, however, may be allowed to remark, that technical terms being for the most part derived from the learned languages, the reason of their application is completely unseen by the mere English student ; and the consequence is that he finds them ex ceedingly difficult to remember. The Greek characters here fore, represented by English letters. In these Catechisms the questions do not precede the answers, as the series by Dr. Irving, &c., but are printed at the end of each part. To avoid, however, any difficulty, each question is numbered so as to answer to its corresponding proposition, which is also num bered. By this plan the tutor may either teach by interrogation or not; and persons, who may use the work for their own instruc tion, or for the purpose of reference, will not be confused and in terrupted by a number of superfluous questions. As school books they will be found to possess many advantages over the common catechisms ; not the least of which is their capa bility of beinr , used as reading books for classes ; in which case, if the tutor employ the questions in interrogating his pupils, they will be found peculiarly useful in exercising the memory, as well as in enforcing - attention to the subject. *, t o It is a remarkable fact that the some of the best books in our language have remained unnoticed for years, until some fortui tous circumstance has brought them before the public, when they have at last met with that p a t ronage th ey h a d so l ong deserveds No class of books, perh a p s , i s so li a bl e t o s i n k into unmerited oblivion as books on education, if not properly introduced to the public on their first appearance. That the intrinsic value of the Catechisms, by Mr. W. G. Lewis, offered to the public a few years ago, would long since have insured their adoption, for the junior classes, in most of our respectable Schools, there can be no doubt, h d it not been for the unfortunate embarrassment of their first publisher soon after their appearance ; since which they have remained upon the shelves of others, unno ticed, because their merits were unknown. The present publisher, however, who has now their entire ma nagement, promises that nothing shall be wanting on his part to bring them properly before the public ; and he feels assured that. he is not too sanguine in expecting they will be very extensively pa tronized.

As beautiful Kitty, the pride of the city, With a bottle of Blacking I met in Shoe Lane, She saw me, she stumbled, the Blacking it tumbled, And all the Jet liquid ran into the drain. " Oh what will I do now ? 'Twas looking at you, now ; Such a bottle of Blacking I'll ne'er get again. Och, hone ! boderation ! a new sitivation I'll sure have to seek, and turn out of Shoe Lane." I stepped up beside her, and gently did chide her, To think her misfortune should sour her sweet face ; Saying, " Aisy, my darling ! lave snapping and snarling, I'll show you a trick that shall keep you your place. Come give us your hand now, to 30, the Strand, now, Where Warren's fam'd Blacking stands piled on each shelf ; Take it home to your master, to cure this disaster, And tell him, my jewel, I use it myself." 'Twas holiday season—perhaps that was the reason— And bad is the wind that blows nobody ga i n, For Kitty, the jewel, could never be cruel, And we married before we went back to Shoe Lane.

The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a private Meeting at one o'clock yesterday af ternoon in the Council Chamber, to examine evidence re specting the cause of the late fire. A more numerous meeting was never known, excepting only on occasions of the demise of the Crown, than that which was held yester day at the Council Office for the purpose of inquiring into the origin of the late destructive fire at the two Houses of Parliament. All the Cabinet Ministers, except the Mar quis of Lansdowne, came to town for the purpose of as sisting at the inquiry ; but, owing, we understand, to the arrival of an express bringing the melancholy intelligence of the dangerous illness 'of Earl Spencer, Lord Althorp was obliged again to leave at an early hour this morning for Althorpe. The Marquis of Lansdowne, it is known, is at present on the Continent. Lord Holland, although suffer ing under a severe visitation of the gout, remained with his colleagues during nearly their entire sitting. The Marquis Camden, Earl Rosslyn, and several other Privy Councillors not connected with the Administration, to the number, we believe, of twenty-two, were present. The investigation was conducted with closed doors, and it was said that even Mr. Gurney, the short - hand writer to both Houses, whose services were necessary to take notes of the evidence, was sworn to secrecy. The witnesses were introduced one by one, and every precaution was adopted to prevent the proceddings obtaining publicity. We are, however, enabled to give the following short account of what transpired, which we derive from sources that may be relied upon. The Council deliberated for a considerable time before any witness was called in, when, we understand, it was determined that every individual, either directly or indirectly connected with the House of Lords, or who it could be ascertained were by any accident on the premises on Thursday last, should be subjected to a most rigid examination. The Attorney-General conducted the inquiry. The first witness called was Mr. Whibley, Clerk of the Works, to whose superintendence the repairs of the House were confided. This gentleman gave a full description of the directions he had given to the different workmen, and also stated that he authorised a man of the name of Cross to burn the wooden tallies of the Court of Exchequer in the stoves for heating the flues communicating with the House of Lords. He could not have apprehended any danger could result from such a procedure. Miss Wright, the housekeeper of the House of Lords, was next called in. This lady underwent a very long exa- Initiation. We understand that she stated, that during the day, becoming somewhat alarmed at the unusual heat in the House and the apartments adjoining, she sent no less than three different messages to Cross, to ascertain if there was any danger, and advising him to be cautious. He an swered that there was no occasion to feel alarm, as he would take care all should be right. At one time the ther mometer in the House was more than five degrees higher than ever they had before been able to raise it consum ing an unlimited quantity of coals. The remainder of this lady's evidence, who appeared unusually affected, was a mere recapitulation of the first discovery of the fire, &c., which has been already more than once before the public. Cross was next examined. The substance of his evi dence, as far as we were able to collect it,• was, that he merely obeyed the instructions lie had received from the Clerk of the Works, and lie had no apprehension of danger until the fire broke out. This witness underwent a most rigid examination by the Lord Chancellor, as to some circumstances connected with his former life, but which it is unnecessary for us to allude to, as it had no bearing upon the immediate question under inquiry. He persisted in denying that he was at any mo ment apprehensive of the fire produced by the burning of the tallies doing any mischief. John Reynolds, the man whose duty it is to light the fires about the House, deposed that he went to the last witness three separate times, and told him that he was acting in cautiously, as the flues would not bear the heat ; adding, You are going it too rapid—they never will bear such a I eat as this." Cross replied he knew what he was about. He talked to him for some time on the subject, and recom mended him not to put so much in the stove at a time. After that he left the House, and on his return in the even ing found it in flames. The son of the preceding witness deposed that he was present when his father cautioned Cross not to load the fires so much, and that he was sent by Miss Wright three different times to request of him to be careful, as she began to feel quite alarmed. The witness Cross was recalled ; but it wag found that he had left the Council Office. Messe ngers were immedi ately despatched in search of him, and after a delay of about half an hour they succeeded in finding him. On his return he was again examined. We understood that he in the most positive manner de nied having received more than one m essage on t h e su bj e ct of the fire from Miss *Wright, or that he was cautioned by PREROGATIVE COURT.

PALGRAVE, Mr. ELLIS, Mr. DRINKWATER, and Mr. JARDINE, met again in Guildhall, to pursue their inquiries into the Companies of the City. THE MERCHANT TAILORS' COMPANY. This day being appointed by the Commissioners to re sume the inquiry into the Merchant Tailors' Company, and the former evidence given by Mr. Franks (the Company having refused to give information), having created much interest in the City, the Court was more fully attended then usual. Mr. Franks attended, to resume his evidence relative to the affairs of the Company. The COMMISSIONERS asked Mr. Woodthorpe what in formation he could supply relative to this Company, and whether the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen had exercised any authority over them ? Mr. WOODTHORPE said he had many instances where the Court of Aldermen had exercised such jurisdiction. On the 16th of April, in the Ist of Richard 111., the Court of Aldermen took upon themselves to arbitrate in a dispute between the Merchant Tailors' Company and the Skinners' Company, and the Court adjudged that, in order to put an end to all strife between the two bodies, the Merchant Tailors' Company should dine with the Skinners' Company, at their Hall, Sn the day of Corpus Christi, if it should be an open dinner, unless they could assign good reason for not so dining, and that the members of Skinners' Com pany should dine with the Merchant Tailors' Company, at their Hall, on the day of St. John the Baptist, if an open dinner, unless they could in like manner assign good cause for not so dining. The Court further ordered, as a re conciliation, that on all future occasions of processions, or public meetings, of the City Companies, the Skinners' Company should go before, or take precedence of the Me rchant Tailors' Company, for one whole year, from Easter to Easter, and that on the next following year the Mer chant Tailors' Company should take the like precedence of the Skinners' Company. The Court further adjudged that in case any Alderman belonging to the Skinners' Company, or to the Merchant Tailors' Company, should be the Lord Mayor of London, the Company to which he belonged should, in all processions, go before all the other City Companies, or Fellowships, and these orders are in force to this day, the two Companies having voluntarily submit ted to them ; but if they had not so submitted the Court would have proceeded to enforce its authority. Another instance of the exercise of the Court's authority occurred in the reign of Henry VIII. Renald Newington peti tioned the Court to be translated from the Merchant Tailors' Company, to which he belonged, to the Mercers' Company, notwithstanding th e oa th w hi c h h e h a d b een com pelled to take in the Merchant Tailors' Company, that he should confine himself to that Company, and not belong to any other craft or fellowship. The Court entertained the petition, and ordered that the oath in question should be struck out of the by-laws of the Merchant Tailors' Company, and that clause altogether expunged, as against the liberties of the City of London. To this order the Company also sub mitted, and the oath abolished. A third instance happened also in the same reign, when the Court of Aldermen issued an order, saying that having received information that a number of young men, of the trade and craft of tailors, were goinc , about the City idle, the Court directed the War dens of the Company to search out those who were so idle, and to inform the Court what foreigners of the craft em ployed men, also foreigners, in their own houses. On the 24th of October, 1632, an objection was made before the Court of Aldermen, upon a scrutiny, against several of the Company who had voted at the election of Lord Mayor, and after hearing Counsel, the Court decided that those members not having taken the oath in the Company, their votes were not good and lawful votes. In 1691, the 3d of William and Mary, another instance also occurred, where the Court exercised jurisdiction over this Company, as to swearing in four Wardens and sixteen Yeomen, whom the Company had refused to receive on the Court of Assistants. Mr. Woodthorpe said this was all the information he was at present prepared to give on this part of the inquiry, but it fully proved that the Court of Aldermen possessed and had exercised jurisdiction over the City Companies. Mr. FRANKS now proceeded in his development of the Company's affairs. The Master of the Company has the power to convene meetings of the body, to make liverymen and freemen, and to bind apprentices. The Master and Wardens claim, as their own individual property, the whole of the funds of the Company, and they always exercise this right. The clerk of the Company distinctly stated that the Company possesses large property, both real and per sonal ; but that the whole belongs to the Master and War dens, and not to the fraternity. The Hall of the Company they also claim as the property of the Master and 'War dens for the time being. Property had been devised to the Company under different titles, as the Merchant Tailors' Company, and as the Master and Wardens of the Mer chant Tailors' Company. Mr. ELLIS asked if the Master and Wardens had, by the Company's Charter, a special power to purchase, re ceive, and alienate property? Mr. FRANKS said he believed they had, but still it must be wrong to call the property the individual property of the Master and Wardens. In January, 1831, in an argument of Sir James Scarlett, in the Court of King's Bentt, which involved this very point, Lord Tenterden interrupted tho Learned Counsel to observe that the Master and 'Wardens held the property only in trust ref tho Company, The Master a n d, Wardens gf the Company aro conjointly trea surers, and three of them must sign all orders for paying money, The clerk receives 01 runts fl , om the tenants of the Company, and pays them over to the Wardens, who give receipts. The clerk finds security to the amount; of 3,0001., but the Master and Wardens find pone, There was a ease not long ago, iyhore a member of the Court of Assistants was one of the clerk's bondsmen, and being called UPON to pay his bond of 3,0001. he refused, on the ground that the bond was informal, Alderman Atkins was the bondsman to whom he alluded. The opinion of Chief Jus tice Tyndal, then at the bar, was taken on the point, and he declared the bond informal, and that it could not be en forced. A compromise, however, took place, and Alder • man Atkins and the other bondsmen paid between them 1000/. The junior clerk of the Company sometimes had as much as 800/. at a time in his hands before lie paid it over to the Wardens. This frequently happened before the dismissal of Mr. Teasdale, the Company's clerk, in 1822, but now the practice he believed was, to pay the rents over immediately to the treasurers. The Master and War dens are the auditors of their own accounts, and the audit takes place in the month of December in each year. Mr. WOODTIIORPE observed that there was a pocket book published by the Company for the exclusive use of the Court of Assistants, containing all the general business of the year. Mr. FRANKS said he had one of the books. He had in 1831 requested of the Master, by letter, to know on what day the Company's accounts were to be audited, in order that he might attend as a liveryman of the Company. In reply, he was informed that the accounts would be audited the next day at ten o'clock ; but that no person except the Court of Assistants would be permitted to be present. He had seen a copy of the letter sent to summons the Court of Assistants to audit the accounts, and it concluded with the following words :—" N.B. Dinner on table at a quarter past five precisely."—(Laughter.) He had an account of the expenses of one of those dinners. On this occasion 75 persons had dined, 40 of whom had no connection whatever with the Company, and the expenses of the day amounted to 240/. The annual election of Master and Wardens takes place within 20 days before or after the day of St. John the Baptist. The Committee of Finance first held a private audit of the accounts, and dined together, and some days afterwards, the public audit, as it is called, takes place ; but it is only public to the members of the Court. The Finance Committee consists of 11 persons ; but few of them attend : indeed, many reside altogether away from London. For instance, one lives at Bath, another in Dub lin, and another in Canterbury ; and they are so aged and infirm as not to be able to travel. They were all above 70 years of age, and some of them had lately died. The mem bers of the Court are paid each a gainea for their attend ance. The clerk is the only officer who has a regular salary in the Company, amounting to 400/. per annum, and he gets also 150/. a year, instead of fees. Besides this, he has the whole business of the Company as solicitor, so that the office is worth between 2,000/. and 3,000/. a year, as was admitted by Mr. Teasdale, who had been clerk. He held in his hand the bill of costs of the present clerk, amount ing to 795/., incurred in opposing, on the part of the Court of Assistants, a rule which he (Mr. Franks) had obtained in the Court of King's Bench, for an investigation of the affairs of the Company. From this it was plain that it was the interest of the clerk to institute as many law proceed ings as he could. The beadle of the Company has a sa lary of 100/. per annum, besides a house, coals, and candles. The clerk has also a house rent free, with coals and candles, and neither clerk nor beadle pays taxes for his house. The duty of the beadle is to collect the quarterage and summon the members of the Court ; he has a commission of 3s. in the pound on the money he collects, and he has perquisites on all liverymen made in the Company, and all freemen admitted. The payment of the quarterage is not very rigidly enforced at present, except on the occasion of bind ing apprentices. There are quarterly meeti ngs h e ld i n th e Hall, when the ordinances of the Court are publicly read, prayers being first said. Liverymen have no privilege over freemen in the Company, except as to the exercise of their trade. Members of the Court of Assistants claim a right to vote as freeholders for Members of Parliament for the county, and the freehold on which they ground this right is the money they receive annually for attendances on the Court, which they consider an annual income fixed and in alienable. In the year 1791 Lord Loughborough ruled this to be a sufficient qualification, and it had been since acted upon. He compared the right to that of a residen tiary prebend. The opinions of all the other Judges were also taken on the point, and they concurred in the judgment of the Chief Justice. Mr. WOODTHORPE said that it would rather seem that this annual income was the gift of the Master and Wardens of the Company, inasmuch as they claimed all the property of the Company as belonging to them, and it was odd, therefore, how it could be construed to be a freehold. Mr. FRANKS said, such however had been the decision of the Judges. The Company exercised the monopoly of ex clusive trading before the charter of Henry VII., but at present there are no by-laws to that affect_ There are two distinct Courts in the Company, one consistir a , of the Mas ter, Wardens, and Assistants, and the other of the Master and Wardens alone. There are besides several Committees. No Court can be held without the presence of the Master and Wardens, and they are also on all Committees. There is no Court whatever at which the liverymen or free men attend, or are admitted, and in fact both liverymen and freemen are in a state of perfect ignorance of all the affairs of the Company. When he first applied to the clerk to peruse the by-laws, the clerk told him that he had no more right to inspect the by-laws as a liveryman, than he would have if invited to dine with the Court of Assistants to in spect the bill for the dinner. The number of Committees was five, viz. :—The Committee of Finance, the Committee of Estates, the Committee of Charity, the Committee of General Purposes, and the Mora Committee. This last Committee is called Mora, or Moor, from some estates the Company have about Moorfields, which this Committee manage. There is no fine for ab sence, but a fee for attending. The business of the Company before the Masters and Wardens began at two o'clock, and ended about dinner time. The business related to the property of the Company and the distribution of the estates. Disputes were settled formerly before the Masters and Wardens, but such has not been the plan for the last century. The Master of the Merchant Tailors' Company, Mr. Attwood, stated that it had been the practice to send the beadle of the Company to Bartho lomew fair with a silver yard to see that the measures were all correct, and that fact was represented as a proof that the Company was not a municipal one. The thing was only a matter of form ; so ignorant were the Master and Wardens of the Company of their new constitution that they were obliged to send to the Tower and Rolls' Court for a copy of their charter. The Clerk of the Company, Mr. Milner, at the end of the 17th century was paid 40/. for translating the charter. He (Mr. Franks) obliged the Company to produce certain by-laws to which an objection was made by the Master and. Wardens, but afterwards acquiesced in upon Counsel being consulted. He (Mr. Franks) applied in January, 1831, to the Court of King's Bench, to examine the books, records, &c., of the Com pany ; but the rule was discharged in consequence of the extent of the application, and he afterwards applied for the by-laws as a freeman and liveryman, which after great delay he procured. The copies were missing, his attorney having mislaid them when removing to another house. They were all obsolete, however. They were confirmed in May, 1613, by the Judges.—(Mr. Franks hero handed in a list of the receipts and expenditure of the Com pany.)—The trust expenses embraced the amount of sums paid in charity. In 1822 Mr. Franks stated, we under stood (he spoke all through in a low tone), that the return was 3,423/, and in 1823 it amonted to 3,6001. The greatest part of the property of the Company was in Lon don. No preference was, he thought, given to the mem bers of the Company in letting houses. The houses were surveyed according to the regulation for the sale of City property, and the occupier obtained a preference on renewal invariably. The Clothworkers' Company held part of the Irish property with the Merchant Tailors. The Merchant Tailors' Company had lent at the end of the 17th century so much money to the Government, that they were obliged to sell part of their property to make up the deficiency which existed. Some of the property was sold to a Mr. Richardson, relative to which disputes existed. The Irish Society had not been consulted in alienating this property, as in the case of the property disposed of possessed by the Goldsmith and Vintners' Company, and he should be glad to see it revert back again to the Merchant Tailors' Com pany. The Merchant Tailors' had a distinct share of th e Irish property, and made up the amount due for the e 5.... .c which the Clothworkers' Company had received. Mr. ELLIS asked if there was any p r .r the Company in letting leases ? Mr. FRANKS said he ...olieved the leases were let fairly, the tenant . ....Lys having a preference. He then handed 'accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Company from 1823 to 1830, and gave information upon the various items. There were dividends arising out of the funds held by the Company. The patronage of the Company's school was in the hands of the Court of Assistants, each having a certain number of admissions. He believed there was not much difficulty in getting an admission for a boy. The school was supported at the entire charge of the Merchant Tailors' Company, and he had been informed, cost 600/. to 700/. a year. At present he believed the school was full, there being 300 scholars in it. The greater part of the re venues of the Company arose out of the surplus of funds left for specific purposes. When he first commenced pro ceedings against the Company there were only three poor liverymen relieved by the Company ; but the Court of As sistants have since created a fund out of the Company's cash, and 20 are now relieved. He complained of the mode adopted by the masters of the schools taking boarders, by which the system was followed of "grinding the boys for I.erence given by " To the most illustrious, most noble, most sage, amongst the grandees of Christendom, Col. Lazareff. " That our good will be known to you! " As soon as we received the letter of your Excel lency, we took cognizance of it. The Commission, relative to the Armenians and to their removal, with which you have been charged by the great General Paskewitsch, is perfectly well known to us. Nor are we ignorant that you have the authority of your Go vernment for this affair. The conditions of the Treaty of Turkmantschoi, February 1828, between the two great Powers, stipulates, it is true, that all those who were desirous of passing under the dominion of an other sovereign should be at liberty to do so. There fore we have not opposed the slightest obstacle to the emigration of several Armenians of Tauris, which took place at the time the Russian troops were withdrawn from that town, and before we entered it. We did no more than this ;we anticipated their wishes. But whilst we remark that in all the places where your sol diers had been stationed, the Armenian population emi gtated voluntarily, as you say, reason and conscience dictate to us to inquire of you whethet it be possible, that many thousands of families should have sponta neously abandoned a country that this people have in habited for a thousand years, and have left behind them their property, their gardens, their houses, in order to drag themselves in your train, without know ing where they might find a resting-place, and being exposed to all sorts of privations ? " According to your account, the Armenians are unanimous in their desire to pass under your dominion. But there are two kinds of desire—that which springs from a full and free will, and that arising from fear and violence. It is true that the satisfaction of the first of these .wants is one of the con ditions of the treaty of peace which is equally advantageous to the subjects of both nations ; but it also appears, from all that is p ass i ng, t h at your Lordship does not abstain from bringing the other into p'ay. I have, with my own hands, delivered passports to the Armenians who quitted Tauris, and I know that their emigration was caused by that of their priests. Now, if all the ecclesiastics of , this country have abandoned them, no doubt the fault lies with the Primate of Etschmiadzin, who threatened to deprive them of their dignities, to excommunicate them ; and he even declared that they would be respon sible, in another world, for their disobedience. Now that your Lordship resides at Salmas, which is occupied by your troops, you send officers and Kozaks to levy contributions in the villages where there are no Armenians who wish to emigrate, whilst you distribute money to those who do emigrate. I demand whether your conscience is satisfied with these proceedings, and whether this is not infringing upon the free-will of in dividuals ? The villages where the Armenians do not manifest a desire to go over to Russian domina tion are immediately occupied by soldiers and Kozaks and the consequence is, that the inhabitants, being unable to support these vexations, are forced to quit their homes, and to abandon their property. I beg of your Lordship to constitute yourself judge in this af fair : you can act thus better than any other person ; for during the time that the Persian territory was oc cupied by the Russian troops, you visited all time towns, villages, and hamlets of the Aserbeidsehan, and you must have observed what violence your officers took upon themselves to commit towards the Arme nians. But now that the war has ceased, and that peace and good intelligence arc re-established between the two powers, you had no right to over-run in this manner all the-villages. By exciting the inhabitants to abandon their homes, and to quit the country, you have acted contrary to the friendly relations which had again become established between the two nations. The coercion y o u pr ac ti s ed agains t th e Armenians was, therefore, misplaced, and the taking possession forced. Thus the injury inflicted on these people must have been displeasing to God. lam inclined to believe that the great Emperor, with that justice, loyalty, and clemency by which he is distinguished, will not see without dissatisfaction the conduct that has been prac tised towards a powerful ally. lam ignOra,nt as to what his Excellency General Paskewitsch will say to it ; but I know that his conduct has never failed to be just. As to you, as you have been yourself employed in this affair, you must admit that violence and threats have not been spared.
