Offices of the Company - 44, Moorgate-street, City, E.C. This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and .the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste be:ng on the eve of com- Pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages 'which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the clangers and delay s of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; 'ehilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the nor thern parts o f E urope i s f our h ours an d a quar t er less by :aTit= and Rotterdam th an th a t by D ov er and Ostend, as tabul aretateme n t, and thus the former must become the direst route of Postal communication.

The dictates of humanity having therefore been complied with, they will no longer delay, unless the governor, seeing the inutility of opposition, prudently surrender the town into their hands: The governor is given until to-morrow morning at sun rise to consider his position, when, should he determine on surrender, the topmast of the Persian government flagstaff at the Chetar Boorj must be struck as the signal of submission The Sirdar General Sahib and the Sirdar Admiral Sahib, commanding, &c., offer the following conditions, in case of non-resistance and honourable capitulation :-- Private property of all descriptions, including dwell ing -houses, will be ecrupulously respected, but public property of every kind, with the contents of grauaries, magi.zines, and public buildings, including arms, =mu nition, and public treasure, most be transferred, with official lists, into their hands. The worship of Almighty lied, according to the dic tates of consciencc_., is tolerated by English law. Ail sects and denominations, therefor, will be tree in the exercise ut their religious rites, and will be protected against the least malestativ.p...-• , • . • - The troops forming the garrison, and all other armed retainers of the Persian government, will be allowed to march out of the town gate with the full honours of war, that is, with drums beating, flags flying, &c., after which they will pile arms immediately under the wall, left and right of the gale, and deposit all military equipments, before becoming prisoners of war. Tile superior ctficers will then approach, and surrender their swcrds in token cf submission. All captives of war, if not set free, will receive honouralle treatment, clothing, and food, agree ably to the usages of civilised nations, which admit of the superior officers being abroad on "parole." The B..itish Government wars not with peaceful citizens and unarmed men. It fights only against the State. All such vre protected in life and property, and in the exer cise of their religious observances, under mild British rule. For these classes conditions are unnecessary. Such are the terms without evasion. If accepted by the display of the proposed signal, peace will continue at Busbire ; if rijected, war on the expiration of the time named.

LEMKE, K.II , R.N., COMMANDING NAVAL FORCE, PERSIAN GULF EXPEDI TION, TO TRH RIGHT RON. LORD ELPHINSTONE, GAIL, GOVERNOR OF BOMBAY. • Hon. Companyvana-frigate Asease, at anchor —''riff shire, Dec. 10, 1855. My Lord,—lt becomes my pleasing duty to report to your lordship in council that after a bombardment, which commenced this morning at 8 o'clock between the Persian batteries and the men-of-war of the Indian navy, and lasted on both sides until nearly an hour after noon, the town of Busbire has been taken, and the flag of our Sovereign is cow flying on the citadel. It was determined that the disembarkaticui of the troops ebould take place in Hallila Bay, about 10 miles south ofthe Khan. All was ready on the morning of the 7th inst., and the gunboats in advance to cover the landing, when a number of the enemy were discavered in a date grove about 200 yards to the left of the beach ; the beats opened fire, and after the exchange of a few shots, the enemy retired. Here the famous chief, the son of Boucher Khan, was killed by a shell f r o m one of the advanced boats, and, I trust, gave a check to, and prevented the approach of a large number of Persian troops who have very much bailees I the army while landing. On the following day I paid a visit to Gen. Stalker, at the camp, and on parting I promised him that I would keep close to the shore in this ship, and support the left of the army on its .approach to the tort of Reshire (about four miles from this place), where it was supposed from the informetion we had received, the enemy, in number from 1.500 to 2,000, would receive our ti• )ps and make resistance. On my nearing the fort this information was confirmed, and we saw it perfectly full of Persian sol diers, who were drawn up ready for the attack. At this moment I was about 1,700 yards from them, when we commenced firing shell ; many dropping within the trenches and committing much slaughter, obliged the Persian troops to fly, with the exception of about 800, who made a resolute stand, and were driven out by the troops in one of the most brilliant and gallant charges I ever witnessed. Here the troops halted for the night. I then pushed for this roadstead, and at daylight this morning, seeing the Persian army drawn up near the wells (their centre supported by a high fortified tower and redoubt), it was my duty to dislodge them ; and for this service I ordered the vessels Falkland (sloop), Ajdaha (steam frigate), Berenice, Victoria (steam sloop) under the command of Lieuts. Tronson, Worsley, Chitty, and Giles, and eight heavy-armed gunboats, under Lieut. Stradling, to place their ships in position to attack it. This was done in a most gallant way, and iu the course nt an hour I had the satisfaction to see the whole of the Persian troops in full retreat to the town, but in perfect order an great coolness, supported by their artillery. A boat with a white flag was now seen approaching the ship, and on one of the chiefs arriving on board, a request was made by the governor of the town for a delay of operations for 2; hours to offer terms. This I instantly refused, in consequence of his having fired on one of our small steams: e, bearing a flog of truce the day before. half-au-hour wa , given bite to get out of the way of our shot, and the ships having been placed in line of battle, my flag-ship in the centre, the action commenced, and continued on both sides for two hours, when, observing two batteries outside the town, one a kind of miniature Malakhoff, harassing the Semiramis and Peron, I directed our fire toeards them, and in three hours they garteperfeetly'silenced and the guns dismounted. A tower on the N.W. angle of the fort, and a masked battery below the residency flagstaff out side the walls., kept up a constant and steady fire upon the Seiniramii and Feroze. It was necessary to silence them also, and seeing that both ships were much di ma4ed by their steady aim, the foremost guns of thii ship were ordered to be directed towards them, and in the course of an hour both batteries ceased firing. I was now anxious to'malteraa opening in the wall of the town, that the troops might have nothing in their way, if General Stalker, on his arrival determined upon carrying the place by assault. Our fire was therefore directed to the S.W. angle, and the breach commenced by knocking down a part of the tower and the embra sure, in which& gun was mounted, as well as the lower part of the wall. The fire from their batteries at this time gradually slackened, and at this moment the flag staff in the town was hauled down in token of submis sion, and the place surrendered. The army was by this time close to the tow n, ' and it was a source of the greatest pleasure to me - to feel th at we had cleared away every obstacle that presented it. self on their onward march, the more so as they had lost so many gallant fellows the day before when storming the Fort of Reshire. The ships of the fleet have suffered considerably in their hulls, masts, and rigging from th e fire of the enem y 's guns S the Semiramis and Feroz 3 hav e some shot through _ _ them, but nothing to prevent all bei n g ready for sea in a day or two. lam most happy Wad i, that no person has been touched, nor has any casualty occurred during the four hours and a half we were under fire ; how this has happened is miraculous, for the grape shot, which fell at every instant around and abr east the g un boats, and the round shot over and about'our s hi p s was ver y severe, and proved that our enemy were more formid able than they were supposed to be even by those who bad known the town years before, there being 59 guns mounted on the batteries. It now becomes a pleasing part of my duty to bring to the notice of your lordships in council the very great as sistance I have received from Commodore Ethersey (who met me off the Island of Kishm, and from his knowledge of this place gave me much valuable informer. tion), Captains Jenkins and Young, Commanders Mac donald (in charge of all the transports) and Rennie, and Acting Commanders Foulerton and Adams, the latter the captain of this ship, the officers, petty officers, and seamen of the fleet under my command ; nor can I ever forget their gallant conduct in this day's battle, or their cheerfulness and activity in carrying out my orders, and in moving their ships into position abreast of the bat teries, and I am sure the Government will think with me that this was no easy task to perform, for most of the vessels drew from 15 to 16 it. water, and we had to take them (at high water) some way through soft mud to get near enough to the forts, and this under a heavy fire. Where all have so ably and gallantly performed their duty, it is difficult to particularise individuals, but I de sire to express my warm thanks to Capt. G. ;Jenkins, the First Captain of this ship, for the very great assist ance he has afforded me throughout the whole of the operations, and particularly during the action. He was the first officer, assisted by Major Hill, of the Engineers, and Lieut. Clarkson, the Post Lieutenant of my flag ship, to enter the town and hoist the British flag. I trust, my lord, it will not be taking too much upon myself to express my admiration of the gallant conduct of Gen. Stalker and his brave army, the more so as I have bad the honour of being associated with them for many weeks, and have been an eyewitness of all their proceedings from the day of landing, as well as on their advance to the town. In doing so I offer the humble tribute of a British Admiral to the brave General, his offi cers, and soldiers, whose dashing conduct on the day of storming the Fort of Reshire can never be forgotten. I cannot deny myself the satisfaction of bringing to the notice of your lordship in council the excellent manner in wh i c h t h e co mmanders and officers and crews of the Pe. ships during the tim e th ey h ave b een w ith ee Jejeebhoy), have con tnd i i un n eg s te u er l ci a r othh a e at; their as O sh; a rie a n d tal s C ir o J m a p ra a a n e y ri 's s hip s (Precursor, Pot the fleet.

In conclusion, may I again request no tice of the gallant officers who have given me so much assistance and support during the time I have been fit ting out the Perian Gulf expedition. By their exer tions nearly 10,000 persons, with their n c r am lordship's e quipage provisions, guns, and stores, and 1,100 horses have been landed on the shores of Persia, without the slightest accident, and with the exception of five horses, without a casualty of any sort ; and by to-morrow evening the troops will have their tents pitched, cooking things ready, and every arrangement to give them comfort a n d shelter frern the scold weather and rains of the winter.

Sir,—l have thelonour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the complete success which, under the protection of Almighty G-01, has atteflded our arms. The British flag waves over the walls of Bushire. The place, infinitely stronger than I had any reason to believe from the information I bad received, surrendered on the appearance of our troops btfore it on the 10th instant. The previous day we had a smart affair in dislodging the enemy from a str, ng po,ition they occupied in the old Du:ell Fort of Reshire. The casualties on this occasion, though numerically small, were principaly =NW the officers, cud, I regret tl say, included Brigadier ° Stopford and Lieutenary-Colonel Mater, 31 Light Cavalry, killed ; Captain Wood, Lieutenants Utterson and Warren, 30th Regiment, wounded, the two latter since dead (Captain Wood, though severely wounded, is doing well). The lesson the enemy received on this occasion, together with the bombarding of the works, the imposing appear ance of the troops in line, and of the fleet, was doubtless the cause of their want of spirit in surrendering the strongly fortified town of Bushire, in which we have found 59 guns (six others have since been discovered), with large quantities of ammunition and warlike stores. The governor of the place and the commander of the troop, came out and gave up their swords. They and one of the principal officials are now in my camp, and will be sent to Bombay, The garrison to the number of 1,500 to 2,000 men (a large number having previously e.ffEcfed their escape, and very many others having been drowned in attempting to do so), grounded their arms in front of our line, and were next morning escorted by the cavalry some distance into the country and set free. Every assistance and cooperation has been rendered by the fleet. A. heavy fire was opened in the early morn ing, and kept up spiritedly for some hours till the place surrendered. At Reshire also, the previous day, all the cc-eperation possible was rendered by the fleet. And rns , very best thanks are duo to Sir Henry Leeke, the officers and seamen, for their unwearied exertions in land ing troops, which, owing to the absence of any other boats than those of the fleet, was a work of much labour, occu pying the greater part of three days and two nights. The force landed at Hallila Bay, about 12 or 13 miles south of Bushire, without any serious opposition, a body of 300 or 400 men who appeared being scattered by the fire of the gunboats. There being no t parriage cattle, the troops were land, d without tents or baggage of any description, three days' rations being carried in the haversacks. The hard ships which the men have been called upon to undergo have been endured most cheerfully, and I cannot say too much in their praise. Being still without our baggage, I have been unable as yet to obtain the reports called for from the several officers commanding brigades, regiments and detachments, but I shall do myself the honour to en close them for the information of his Excellency the C nnmander-in-Chief. I ougbtto have mentioned that on appreaching Bushire the enemy were observed to occupy in some force an en trenched position, with a strong redoubt about a mile and a half from the walls, and commanding the wells from which the main supply of water for the town is de rived. This position was precipitately abandoned on my line being formed. It also had sustained a bombard ment from the fleet. I would beg especially to mention the unwearied exer tions and valuable aid rendered to me, from the landing at Halide Bay to the taking of Bushire, by my aseistaut Adjutant-General Lieutenant-Colonel Younghusband ; Captain Wray, the Assistant Quartermaster -General ; Major Hill, Commanding Engineers ; Captain Danger ville, Assistant Commissary-General ; and Dr. Macken zie, the Superintending Surgeon.

ANDERSON, ESQ , SECRETARY TO GO- VERNMENT, BOMBAY. - Residency in the Persian Gulf, Bushire,',Dec. 13, 1856. Sir—My last despatch made known my retirement from Bushire. I now continue the report of my pro ceedings to the present date, in connexion with the ex peditionary force in this Gulf. On the 29th November a detachment of the fleet— Feroze, steam frigate, towing two merchant ships and corvette Falkland—first hove in sight of Buthire, and dispelled the prevailing idea that the force would not quit the shores of India. This illusion I had been able ?0 maintain perfect to the last moment, though the ob ject I bad c intemplateel of an immediate descent on the coast Jaile!, from the fleet being scattered in various parts of the Gulf. It was not, indeed, until the 6th iust. that they were sufficiently collected to admit of direct operations being commenced ; but in the meantime, the Island of Karrack was occupied and formed into a mili tary depot, as reported in my despatch to Mejer-General Stalker, under date 4th inst. Toe day subsequent to the arrival of the first shin the Governor of Busbire wrote to me officially on the subject of the display before the town ; but, as I was then about proceeding to meet the general, some off at sea, an answer to his inquiries was delayed, as shown in the accompanying letters. On the 3 1 Dcc. the Governor-General's proclamations were sent to him officially, with the sanction of the mejor-general com manding the force. To these there was no rep'y. On the 6th inst. the fleet moved down to Hultile Bey, which Commodore Erhersey had pronsunced the best suited for the debarkation of the force ; and no spot could have been better selected. Dispositions were made for landing the force on the following morning, when it was effected in admirable order, though not unobserved by the enemy,mall parties of whom were driven from their lurking-places in the dale groves by the fire of the gunboats and well-directed shot from the steam frigat Ajdaha, commanded by Lieut. Worsley. Shortly after noon the force was enabled to edvance from the beach and take up an exttnded front before the enemy, seen at intervals watching our movements, a &ivy miles in advance. Great difficulties, however, had to be contended with in landing the cavalry horses and artil lery equipage, from a paucity of native boats, which I had failed in procuring from the Arab coasts, owing to the impracticability of dealing with the people in Leo [Dents of emergency and need. These difficulties were, however, readily surmounted by the skill arid activity of the Indian naval officers and men, whose exertions on this occasion merit the highest praise. These exer tions were fully appreciated by their associates in arms, not less active in their endeavours to get at the enemy with the least possible delay. Forty-eight hours sufficed to put the troops in motion northward, the chips of war, led by the admiral, advaiic ing along the c past to their Eupport. This uas on the rnornirg of the 9th, and by noon the enemy were ob served to be in some force in the village of lt , ?shire. Here, amid the ruins of old houseF, garden-walls, aid steep ravines, they occupied a formidable position. But, notwithstanding their firmness, wall after wall was surmounted, and finally they were driven from their last defence (the old fort of Resbire), bordering on the cliffs at the rncrgin of the sea. This was carried at the point of the bayonet, the enemy then only flying in despair down the cliffs, where many met their death in their endeavours to escape through the ravines of the south. The nature of the ground, however, rendered pursuit difficult to the horse, though many were cut up in a chase •f some distance. Details of this spirited affair will be given by the proper officers. I shall there fore merely observe, that the enemy received at first a lesson be will not reidily forget, for the tribe families of Dashti and Tungestoon comprising its ranks are re garded as the most brave as well as the ino.t skilled in the defence of posts like Reshire, where regular troops cannot work with full effect. Brigadier Stopforii, C.B , met his death here, and other less was experienced. The wounded were received into the ships the same evening, and provisions were thrown into the camp frum seaward during the night. It had been agreed upon that I should proceed in parson to the town of Bushire in a small steamer with a flag of truce, bearing the accompanying copy of a sum mons to f urrender, with the tenni offered to the garri son. While the above was enacting, I proceeded on this errand, with the humane object also of receiving such of the merchants as might be desirous of shelter in the fleet. This was quite in accordance with the wishes of the Government of India in regard to the inhabitants of Bushire ; and the major-general, the admiral, and myself were induced to believe that my pre , ence near them might tend to avert, much Woodshed. In th.s, however, we were die tppoiated, for on parsing througn the intricate channel leading to the town, two batteries, as a distance of 500 yard; opened upon tha Assyria hearing the flag of truce, in defiance of ali wiage of war Deendug it might be a mistake, I caused the vessel to stop, bot a second and a third shot pas,ing close to us, I was compelled to retrace my steps, and even then two more guns were discharged. I c.)uld scarcely account for such conduct, having taken some pains to explain the meaning of a flag of truce, iu the event of warfare, before quitting the town ; but - , while relating the circumstance to Rear-Admiral Sir H. Leeke, a fl ,g of truce from the shore was reported, and the bearer (Nlirza. Ismail, col• lector of customs in the town) came off with a written apology from the Governor, who, with the chief officers of the garrison, were stated tu have been outside of the walls examining into the condition of the exterior de fences at the time; every regret was expressed ; the act was attributed to the ignorance of an artillerymar, wit hopes that it would be overlooked. To this the anmiral and self replied, that so far as we were personally con cerned, we were willing to credit the statements of the Governor alai accepted the apology, though the act in itself, in•whatever way originating, must stigmatise the Persian Government and its officals in the eyes of all civilised states. Mirza Ismail returned with a summons to the shore. While this was going on, a note from the Major-Gene ral commanding announced his intention of advancing on the town the following morning, and the admiral disposed his fleet in order of battle, for first di , mantling the newly erected outworks, and then moving with the view to breaching the south wall of the town. The following morning, as the tide served, the ships were in the posi tions assigned them. A second flag of truce had come off begging twenty-four hours' delay, but this was promptly rejected, and at near 8 o'clock the signal was hoisted to engage. Shot and shell were aimed at the redoubt south of the town, but with little eir,ct, owing to the great range, though eventually the enemy assem bled there to oppose the troops were dislodged, and beat a retreat with their guns into the town. The ships, in the meantime, had moved upon the town, and such was ' the ardour displayed to get close in to the works, that every ship was laid aground at the turn of high water, and for four hours continued to cannonade the defences, which were active in replying the whole time. Many of their guns, however, were not of sufficient calibre to I reach the ships, but the perseverance of the Persian gunners in firing from the more heavy pieces was ad mired by every one. Their shot told very often on the hulls of the Victoria, Falkland, Semiramis, ant Feroze, which latter vessels, under tiaptain John Young and Commander James Rennie (if comparisons are admis sible where all exerted themselves alike) had the posts of honour for the day. Details of the affair it is unneces sary for me to enter upon. It will suffice for me to report that some of the guns being silenced, on the approach of the army under Major-General Stalker, C. 8., to broils's the wall on the gate side before assault, the Persian flagstaff was felled in token of submis4on. This was at noon. The Persian flag has since been recovered by myself, and presented as a joint trophy to the chiefs conducting the combined operations in this expedition, who, with every officer and many in it, whether soldier or sailor, have certainly won for themselves an honour able name. After surrender, some little hesitation was shown on the part of the governor and garrison to elm° out of the town. An assuring note, coupled with the threat of an assault in half an hour, war, however, sent in by a freed captive ; and on the expiration of the time that officer was seen issuing with his suite from the qte. I moved forward with a party to receive and conduct him to head-quarters, where, after tendering his sword, he met with a gracious reception from the major-general and the rear-admiral commanding the forces. Shortly after wards the sirhang, or lieutenant-colonel and command ant, submitted, the entire garrison at the same time laying down their arms, on my proceeding into the town with assurances of safety from the major-general com manding-in-chief. The British colours were then hoisted at 4.30 p.m., on the Residenee Flagstaff by Lieut. Clarkson, of the Indian navy, the troops under orders to garrison the town moving at sunset into the'place. Since the occupation I have been engaged with my assistant, Lieut. Diabrowe, in giving confidence to the townspeople, securing the magazines, granaries, and other public stores, endeavouring to re-open the bazaars, and in adopting measures for the public safety, as well as in taking steps for obtaining supplies. Owing to the distrust naturally prevailing amongst suspicious people quite new to us, and generally ignorant as to our usages and institutions, we have some difficulty to contend with. Time, however, will aid to dispel fears, to restore oonfidence, and eventually, I hope, secure to us all we require. I must not conceal, however, that oar chief local supplies of fresh meat, grain, Ica., must be drawn from Bnareh and Bagdad, and boats are not rea dil y pro curable. A large quantity of coal should , t herefore, be stored both here and at Busreh, for the use of steamers, those of small s i ze b e i ng best adapted for t his service ; they should not f a il us , for, in any case, to in sure cattle living, the voyage should be shortened as much as pos sible by their taki ng boats in tow.

Fat bonrg St. Germain and Chaussee d'Antin—hns been missed at the Russian and Prussian embassies— has not been seen in the Faubourg St. Honore or the Bois de Boulogne—he a not received on her accustomed evenings at home, or a;sl sisted at any of the grand doings at the Tuileries, or tie gay doings elsewhere. The political and fashionable public in Paris had for the last fortnight been aware that Madame de Lieven was confined to the house with what was by some called a cold, and by some an inflammation ; but it was not till three or four days ago that it became noised. a`)road that the indisposition was much graver than at y one had imagined ; and on Sunday last, when all the world was flocking to see the Persian Ambassador and his suite, it was announced for certain that a lady, who has played so prominent a part in more than one European capital, was then lying in a hopeless state, without a chance of ultimate recovery. Within little more than 30 hours the rumour proved to be well founded, for on Monday evening Madame de Lieven, who has for full half a cen tury led so busy and so public a life, died in the mansiom which she had so recently taken on her return from Brussels. Thus, on so short and sudden a warning, is called away the confidential correspondent of three Czars, of three Empresses, of Grand Chancellors, Chamberlains, and Governors of Russian provinces without number—a woman who exorcised in her time as much political and social influence, and perpetrated as much political mischief as any lady of the generation to which she belonged. It is now more than 18 years since the husband of Madame de Lieven died at Rome, and it is nearly a quarter of a cen tury since he ceased, in 1834, to be Russian Minister in this capital, so that to many of our readers it may be neces sary to state who and what the Lievens were, what func tions they filled, and what influence they exercised. The first of the family of whom any mention is made in history was one John Henry Lieven, a native of Livonia, a sol dier of fortune under Charles XII. After the battle of Pultowa, at which Lieven was not present, he was sent as a kind of agent to the captive King at Bender. Charles, pleased with his zeal, sent him to Constantinople to negotiate in his favour, and to induce the Sultan to break with Russia. A portion of this mission was executed so successfully that Charles appointed the nego tiator Lieutenant-General, Senator, and Governor of the great Swedish hasher's of Carlscrona. Two younger brothers of this Swedish adventurer subsequently accepted ser vice in Russia under Catherine 11., and both of them obtained the rank of general. One of these, Andrew Lieven, married a Mademoiselle de Posse, a lady of some wealth and of considerable talent, and from this union sprang Andrew Lieven, born in 1777, the hus band of the lady whose unexpected death has caused so great a sensation among the diplomatic body both here and in Paris. While very young Andrew Lieven lost his father ; but his mother, who was a woman of some attainments, was made governess to the daughters of the Emperor Paul, and the late Emperor Nicholas and the late Grand Duke Michael were also confided to her ; care in their earlier years. So much to the satisfaction of Paul did this lady execute the trustconfided to her that she was successively created Dame d'Houneur and Countess, and her son Andrew entered the military service with every advantage that the highest patronage could afford. He was noticed by Paul till. the period of that monarch's assassination in 1801, and subse quently, having acquired the favour of Alexander, attained the rank of general after the peace of Tilsit, in 1837. Im • mediately after this period it was that be married Dania, the daughter of the Russian General of Infantry Benken dorf—a lady who was distinguished much more by her ac complishments and attainments than by her beauty, though she was remarkable in early and oven in middle life for an expressive and intelligent countenance. The family of Benkendorf enjoyed in 1807 the entire confidence of Alexander. The father of Madame de Lieven was one of the German coterie in which the Czar delighted. Her brother was the Imperial aide-de-camp, and soon after his chosen Minister of Police, possessing his entire confi dence, and carrying on the Czar's secret correspondence with his own empire and foreign Courts. So connected and so patronised, the Lievens obtained the Prosaism embassy at the close of 1807 or the beginning of 1808, at which they remained accredited, if we mistake not, from 1803 to 1812. We say they remained accredited, for it was, even in 1809 and 1810, a notorious fact that Madame de Lieven not merely received and did the honours of her husband's house, but carried on an extensive business and official correspondence with her mother-in-law who enjoyed the full confidence of the Romanoff family; with her brother, the favourite aide-de-camp of the Czar ; and even with the Czar himself. When the French invasion of Russia put an end to nearly all intercourse between the Courts of St. Pet ersburg and Berlin, M. and Madame de Lieven were sent to London to represent the Court of the Czar, somewhere towards the dose of 1812. Lord Liverpool was the First Lord of the Treasury ; the position of principal Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs was held by Viscount Castlereagh, and the Home Minister was Viscount Sidmonth. Madame Lieven soon made herself agreeable in London society at this period-hy..her talents and accomplishments, anti not a little aided her husband and Pozzo di Bongo and Gentz, who came on a special service from Austria between Ibl2 and 1814. In this latter year the lady had so far ingra tiated herself with the aristocracy of rank and fashici in London that she was esteemed a general favourite, and a great acquisition to the corps diplomatique. With the peace, however, came the conflict of interests and intrigues —and from 1815 to 1834 Madame de Lieven was much too remuaute and intriguing to be regarded with favour by Englisle statesmen and politicians of any party. During the struggles for Greek independence shedid as much as in her lay to foster the enthusiasm of young and old in Eng land for the Greek cause, not that the ambassadress or the Czar cared a rush for Greek liberty if it could not be made subservient to the weakening of Turkey and the aggran disement of Russia. In 1827, again, she was over-busy in the domestic intrigues of the time, and was very impartially, and we believe very truly, accused of playing false to both parties—to the Canningites and Whigs on the one hand, and to the Tories on the other. Be this as it may certain it is that after the death of Canning and the battle of Nava rino the sympathies of this busy intriguing woman, and of the Court represented by her and her husband, lay with his bitterest opponents and the opponents of all liberal im provement in England. In Ireland, however, the Russian embassy played a distinct and separate game. In that country there were not wanting adroit Russian agents to announce to the Roman Catholic agitators that the Czar sympathised with their sufferings and their wrongs. For tunately the Duke of Wellington, by introducing the Ro man Catholic Relief Bill, nipped in the bud these nascent sympathies of two churches, the Greek and Romish, which in all other countries have hated and persecuted each other with true theologic rancour. Busy as Madame de Lieven made herself in the Greek and Roman Catholic questions, she was still more active and intriguing in the discussions touching the Reform Bill and the establishment of Belgium as a kingdom. Notwithstand ing all Russian male and female efforts, both measures were, however, conducted to a happy issue. The consolidation of Belgium was a great European benefit, which has stood the test of time ; and the glory of the struggle and of the ins• cess which crowned very arduous labours is chiefly due to the present First Lord of the Treasury (then Secretary of Foreign Affairs) and to M. de Talleyrand. Soon after the labours of the Conference of London, M. and Madame Lieven were recalled to St. Petersburg. M. de Lieven was appointed governor and tutor of the Cezarewitsch (now Em peror), and with that Imperial Prince made the tour of a great part of Southern Europe. At Rome he was seized with a sudden illness—an illness of which he died on the 10th of January, 1839. After the decease of her husband Madame de Lieven, who had played so important a part, could not remain idle. She established herself in Paris in 1839 and 1840 in a large and handsome mansion, and congregated about her the chief political and literary celebr ities of France. In her boudoirs d o e f u t t h s e an ß d ussian sz embas i s y was done. her o des n every part t s h h e e p h r a i d n c h i p e r a l e b a r r u s e i :p e a s n s of Europe,ared either and the to herheinfor brother, matienob thetain them m edfriniat om erof the wts: Russian forwd Police, the General Aide-de-Camp Benkendorf, or directly to the Czar himself. Madame de Limn, in fact, enjoyed as much of the confidence of Nicholas as her late mother-in-law, who was made Princess in 1826, and addressed, by order of Nicholas, as Svetiosh— Highness. For a short period during the embassy of M. Guizot Madame de Lieven returned to this country to lend. her prestige to that austere Calvinist, whose motto as a diplomatist was dines recta brevissima. How much this virtuous man profited by Russian female teaching is proved by his course in the Spanish marriages. After the fall of Louis Philippe Madame de Lieven removed her diplomatic office to Brussels, to which city M. Guizot, by way of re ciprocating Madame de Lieven's London journey, paid a visit. But neither the ex-French ambassador nor the ex- Russian ambassadress could accomplish their respective designs, and we do not know that the world is much the worse for their respective failures. The system of employing women in affairs of State is an exclusively Russian system, and is in every way pregnant with the worst results. Females of the German houses of Wurtemberg-Strelitz and Oldenburg, and daughters of the Czar Nicholas himself, have been all engaged in these equi vocal transactions, in which they can reap no credit or konour—in which the grace, and bloom, and innocence of the female character are entirely destroyed. We trust we have seen the last of these female diplomatists. Apart from her political intrigues, Madame de Lieven was a woman of accomplishment, attainment, and esprit; a good linguist, an excellent musician, a good historian—she pos. sessed talents and attainments which in the humblest eta- tion must have'raised her to importance. 4.1 ' ' ' GRNIIIS REWARDED.—It is reported that a Russian order is on its way to England to be bestowed upon Sir Robot Pdel, in recognition of his late lecture 011 Russia and her People.
