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 Ike ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, drc. 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 silents 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 d es i ra bl e f or 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 lino from Rotterdam to Trieste being 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 Hamber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to H am b urgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to ll hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as and muthnis the former must become the direct route of p os t al co TIME.

LEEKS, K.II , R.N . COMMANDING NAVAL FORCE, PERSIAN GULF EXPEDI TION, TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD ELPHINSTONE, G.C.H GOVERNOR OF B ,MBAY. n. Company's steam-frigate Aseas A, at anchor • s off Busbire, Dee. 10, 1856. My Lord,—lt becomes my pleasing duty to report to your lordship in council that after a bombardment, which commenced this morning a' 8 o'clock between tee 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 Bushire has been taken, and the flag of our Sovereign is now flying on the citadel. It waa determined that the disembarkation of the troops should take place in Hallila Bay, about 10 miles south of the Khan. All was ready on the morning of the 7th inst., and the gunboats in advance to caver the landing, when a number of the enemy were discovered 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 Blucher Khan, was killed by a shell from one of the advanced boats, and, I trust, gave a dheck to, and prevented the approach of a large number of Persian troops who have very much harassei 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 Pert of Respire (about four miles from this place), where it was supposed from the information we had received, the enemy, in number from 1,500 to 2,000, would receive our tre Ts and make resistance. On my nearing the fort. this information was cosfirmed, and we saw it perfectly full of Persian sol diers, who were drawn up ready for the attack. At this moment I wat about 1,700 yards from them, when we commenced firing shell ; many dreppieg within the trenches and committing much siaugster, 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 dariglit 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), Aj•laha (steam frigate), Berenirie, Victoria (steam sloop) under the command of Lieuts. Tronson, Worsley, Chitty, and Giles, and eight heavy-armed gunboats. uncle; Lieut. Stradling, to place their ships in position to attack it. This was done in a most valiant way, and in the course of an hour I- had ihe satisfaction to see the whole of the Persian troops in full retreat to the town, but in perfect order and great coolness, supported by their artillery. A boat with a white flag was now seen approaching the ship, and on one of the cbiefs arrivii.g on board, a request was made by the governor of the town for a dt:av of operations for 24 hours to offer terms. This I ostantly tu•erl, in constlooice of his g fire one of our malls yam es, bearing a flag of truce the day before. 11 eif-aii-n 'or ca ;to el. ItOO to get Alt iif the way of our shot, and the ships having been placed in line of battle, my flag—h , p in ihi• c •iiire, the scti in commenced, and continu-d on hie h sides for two hours, when, observing two batteries outside the town, one a kind of miniature Malakhoff. harassing the S e miramis and Feroze, I directed our Sre towards thein, and in three hours they were perfectly silenced and the guns dismounted. A toweron the N.W. angle of the fort, sad a masked battery below the residency flitesteff out. side the walls, kept up a comoant and steady fire upon the Semiramis and Feeoee. It was necessary to silence them also, and seeing that both ships were much da mased by their eteaily aim, the f tremost guns of this ship were ordered to be directed towards them, an-I in the course ni an hour both batteries ceased firiug. I was now anxious to make an opening in t wall of I the town, that the troops might have nothing in their way, it 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 emnra sure, in which a 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 town, and it was a source of the greatest pleasure to me to feel that selfwe haden their elea e t e n d w a a away m e a v r o e fi r obstaclethe more s t e b st as theypresented 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 the fire of the enemy's them, gun but the s no t Semirami s hing to and prevent V ro all ze havebemg some re s shot h sa g fe a day or two. lam most happy to an.) , that no person e during the has f beeeern hours touched, nor halfsae w e a casualtyn w y ere dy r e ou k has happened its miraculous, for the grape s hot, which ' fell at every instant around and abreast t h e g un boats, and the round shot over and about our ships was ver y urger occurred fire ; hw severe, and proved that our enemy were more fy.rinid i able than they were supposed to be even by the, a who had 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 lordship, 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 informa 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 ft. 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 gal antly performed their duty, it is difficult to particularise individuals, but I de sire i,o express my warm thanks to Capt. G. 'Jenkins, the First Captain of this ship, for the very great assist ance h- has tiff irded me throughout the - whole of the operations, and particularly during the action. He was the first officer, aseisted by [Viejo'. ELI!, of the Engineers, held Lieut. Clarkson, tne Fist Lieutenant of my flag ship, to enter the town and heist 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 had the honour of tieing associated with them fur many weeks, and sass han an eye wan es of all their pr meedings from the day of landing, as well as on their advaiice to toe town. In tutting so I offer the bumble tribute of a British Admiral he brave General, his offi cers, and soldiers, whose dashing co duct 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 which the commanders and officers and crews of the Pe. tiuger, Chusati, and Sir Jamsetjee J e j ee bb o y), have ninsular a , d Oriental Company's +ships (Precursor, Pet. con ducted their ships during the time they have been with the fleet. Tony are at all times ready for any hard work, and have rendered me very essential service, and I beg to express my sincere thanks to the men collectively I and individually. To the masters commanding the merchant ships (Re suit, Abdullab, Alabama, Madge Wildfire, Dakotale, Fairlie, Hydree, Mirzapore, Melbourne, Merse, Maria Grey, Arthur the Great, Rajah of Cochin, Clifton, City, Wansfield, Sindiau, Bombay,RhoderickDhu, Philo, and Sibella), and their officers and crews, especially to the commander of the Result, Captain Cow, whose kind and considerate conduct in bringing off the wounded did him honour, I tender my best thanks for their exertions. All did their duty, and vied with each other, day and night, which ship should do the most in landing the troops, horses, and stores. lii conclusion, may I again request your lordship's 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 Psrs an Gulf expedition. By their exer tions nearly 10,000 persons, with all their camp equipage, provisions, guns , and stores, and 1,100 horses hav e been landed on the shor es of P ersia, without the sli g htest accident, and with t he exce p tion of five hors es, without a casualty of any sort ; and b y to - morrow evenin g the t roo ps will have their tents pitched, cooking things ready, and every a rran g ement t o give th em comfort and shelter from the .cold weather and rains of the winter.

It was not, indeed, until the 6 , h inst that toey were sufficiently collected to admit or direct eperatiene beine commenced ; but in the meantime, the Island of Barrack was occupied and forme i into a mili tary repot, as rep eaed in my despatch to Mai .r-General under da'e 4th inst. Toe day subsequent to the a- rival' of the first ship., the Governor of Buehire wrote to me officially on the eunj ct of the dieplay before the town ; but, as I was thee about proceed% •g to meet the gene ral, some mile off at sea. an answer to his inquiries .vas relayed, :ae shown in the accompanyieg letters. On the 3 i Dec. the Governer-General's prociarnations were sent to him officially, with the sanction of the mejer-geeeral coin , weeding the force. To the-e there was no r-p y Oa the 6th inst the fleet moved down to Eluaila Bay, which Commodore Ethersey had proneueced 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 utiobserved by the enemy, small 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 frigate Ajdaha, commanded by Lieut. Worley. Shortly after noon the force was enabled to edvance from the beach and take up an extended front before the enemy, seen at intervals watching our movements, a few 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 cm merits ef emergency and need. These difficulties were, however, readily ,surmounted by the skit; and activity of the Indian naval officers and mei!, whose exertion , : on this occasion merit the highest praise. These exer tions were fully appreciated by their associates in arms, not lees active in their endeavours to get at the enemy with the !east possible delay. Forty-eight hours sufficed to put the troops in motion northward, the ships of war, led by the admiral, advanc ing along the c .act to their support. This ,Y 3,4 on the ittorni , g the 9 , h, and by noon the enemy were ob• served to be in some force in the village nf. R ehire. Here, amid the ruins of old houses, garden- w Ils, arid steep ravines, they occupied a formidable position. But, notwithstanding their firmness, wall after wall was surmounted, and finaly they were driven from their last defence (the old fort of Reshire), bordering oo the cliffs at the margin of the sea. This was carried at the point of the bayonet, the enemy then only fling in despair down the ciiffe, where many met their death in their endeavours to e-cape 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 of some distance. Details of this spirited affair will be given by the proper officers. I shall there. fere merely observe, that the enemy received at first a lesson he will not rev - lily forget, for the tribe families of Datihti and Tungestoon c ,mprising its ranks are re garded as the most brave as well as the most skilled in the defence of posts like Resbire, where regular troops cannot work with full effect Brigadier Stopfora, C.B met his deinh here, and other loss was experienced. The wounded were received into the ships the eame evening, and provieions were thr wn into the camp from sea we'd during the night. It had been agreed upon that I should pr tceed in par-on to the town of Buehire iu a swat. steamer with a flag of truce, bearing the accompanying copy of a suite ineris to urronder, with the term , &red to the garri son. While the above was enacting, I proceeded on this errand, with the humane uhject 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-g.meral, the admiral, and my-elf were induced to h hove than. my pre-erica near them might tend to avert mime b nabbed. Iu tie e, hoNev,r, we were ciistppnl trd, ter on pestling through ;he intricate channel leading to the town, • wo batteries, a, a distance of 500 yards, opened upon the Assyria %tearing the flag of truce, iu defiance of al; usage of war Deeming it might be a mistake, I caused the vessel to stop, het 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 iuld scarcely acceunt for such conduct, having taken some pains to explain the meaninte of a flag of truce, in the event of warfare, before quitting the town ; but, while relating the circumstance oe Rear-Admiral Sir H. Leeke, a fl g of truce from the shore was reported, and the bearer (Mem. 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 to have been outside of the walls examining into the condition of the exterior de fences at the time ; every regret was expres ed ; the act was attributed to the ignorance of an artilleryman, wit hopes that it would be overlooked. To this the admiral ar.d self replied, that so far as we were personally con cerned, we were willing to credit the statements of the Governor ant accepted the apology, though the act in itself, in whatever way originating, must stigmatise the Persian Government and its officers 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 folio wing 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. rho following morning, as the tide served, the ships were in the posi tions assigned them. A second flag of truce had come off begging twenLy-four hours' delay, but this was promptly rejected, and at near 8 o'clock the signal was hoisted to engage. Shot and shell were wined at the redoubt south of the tower, but with little effect, owing to the great range, though eventually the enemy assem bled there to oppose the troops were disiodeed, and beat a retreat with their guns into the town. The ships, in the meantime, bad moved upon t he 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 reach the ships, but the perseverance of the Persian gunners in firing from the more heavy pieces was ad rnired.by ev .ry one. Their shot told very often on the hulls of the Victoria, Falkland, Semiramis, and Fereze, which latter vessel , under tJaptain John Young and Commander James Rennie (it comparisons are admis sible where all exerted themselves alike) had the posts of honour for the day. Details of the affair i. is utieecer sary for me to enter upon It will suffice for tree to report that some of the gaps being silenced, on the approach tee army under Major-General Stalker, C. 8., to breast , he wall on the gate side before aeeault, the Persien flagstaff was fella iin token of subrnis-ion This was at noon. Tue Persian flag has since been recovered by myself, and preaeoted as a joint trophy to the chiefs cenducting the combined operation , : in this expedition, who, with every officer and many in it, whether soldier er sailor, have certainly won for teemeelves aes honour able name. Alter surrender, some little hesitation was shown on the part of .be governor an.l garrison to c .me out of ..he town. An assuring note, coupird with the threat of an assault in half au hour, wee, 11 ,, WeVer, sent in by a treed captive ; and on the expiration of the time that officer was seen issuing with his suite from the gate. I moved orward 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 coins m audine-in - chief. The British colours were then boisted at 4.30 * p.m., on the Residence Flagstaff by Lieut. Clarkson, of the Indian navy, the troops under orders to garrison the town moving at sunset into the place.

Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the complete :iucce.m which, under the protection of Almighty God, has attended 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 before it on the 10th instant. The previous day we had a smart affair in dislodging the enemy from a 'ening poltron they occupied - in the old Du eh Fort of Reihire. The casualties on this occasion, though numerically small, were principaly among the officers, and, I regret to say, included Brigadier Stopford and _ . Lieutenant-ColonelHalal, 3d Light Cavalry , killed Captain Wood, Lieutenants UAerson and Warren, 30th Regiment, wounded, the two latter since dead (Captain Wood, though severely wound d,is doing well). The lesson the enemy received on this occasion, together with the bombarthug 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 forrified 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 be sent to Bombay, The garrison to the number of 1,500 to 2,000 men (a large number having previously effected their escape, and very many others having been drowned in attempting to do so), grounded their areas 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 he fleet. A heavy fire was opened in , be early morn ing, and kept. uo spiritedly for some hours till the place surrendered. At Reshire also, the previous day, all the eo-epera,. ion possible was rendered by the fleet. And ms very best thanks are due ti Sir Henry Leeke, the officers and seamen, for their unwearied exertions in land iog mops, which, owing to the absence of any other boats than those of the fleet, was a work of much labour, occu pyii.g the greater part of three days and two nights. The , ores landed at Hallila Bay, about 12 or 13 miles south of Bushire, without , any serious opp sition, a body of 300 or 400 men who appeared beiog scattereo by the- fire of the gunboats Torre b Ing no carriage cattle, the troops were land d without tents or baggage of any description, three days' rations being carried in the haversacks. The hard ship, which the men have b en 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 Commander-in-Chief. I ought to have mentioned thaton 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 went from the fleet. I would beg especially to mention the unwearied exer tions end valuable aid rendered to me, from the landing at Hallila Bay to the taking of Bushire, by my assistant Adjutant-General Lieutenant-Colonel Younghusband ; Cait t a b i e n su W pe ra ri y n , te t n h dnti e i As s si u st r a g n e t on.

A. suggestion was made in the Times that a depot of the 79th should be stationed at Aberdeen as a popular Highland regiment. This was acted on, and before the war had olohed 600 abke bodied recruits were raised ! The depot 13a4 now been removed, and warmly a single recruit is obtained.

The political anti fashionable pub . ,* in Paris had for the last fortnight been aware that Madan • .e Lieven was cortfiried to the haus , with what was 1., some called a cold, and by some an inflammation ; I ut it was D ot till three or four days ago That it became noised a ,road that the indisposition was much graver than ail had imagined ; and on Sunday last., when all the world was flocking to see the Persian Ambassador and hie suite, it was announced for certain that a lady, who has played so prominent a part in more than one European capital, wag then lying in a hopeless state, without a chance of tiruate rt covery 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 mansion watch 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 exercised in her time as much political and social influence, and perpetrated as much political mischief :is 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 ceu .ury 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 seat 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 nege tiator Lieutenant-General, Senator, and Governor of the great Swedish harbour of Carlecrona. 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 do Posse, a lady of some wealth and of considerable talent, and from this union sprang Andrew Lieven, born in 1777, the hes hand of the lady whose unexpected death has caused so groat 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 Nicholasand 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'Honneur 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 18 7. Tin - mediately after this period it was that ho married Dane , thin daughter of the Russian General of Infantry Benken tiorf—a lady who was distinguished much more by her ac complishments and attainments than by her beauty, though she was remarkable in early and even iu i,,itiole life for an expressive and intelligent countenance. The family of Benkendoxf enjoyed in 1807 the entire confidence of Alexander. The father of Madame de Liaeven was one of the German coterie in which the Czar delighted. Her brother was the Imperial aide-de-camp, and xx , on after his chosen Minister of Police, possessing his entire confi cleric°, and carrying on the Czar's secret correspondence with his own empire and foreign Courts. So connected and so patronised, the Lievens obtained the Prussian 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 'ial correspondence with her mother-in-law who enjoyed the full confidence of the Romanoff tamily; 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. Pe ersburg and Berlin, M. ant Madame de Lieven were s -nt to London to represent the Court of the Czar, somewhere towards the close of 1812. Lord Liverpool was the First Lord of the Treasury ; the position of principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs was held by Viscount Castlereagh, and the Home Minister was Viscount Sidinouth.' Madame Lieven soon made herself agreeable in London society at this period by her talents and accomplishments, and not a little aided her husband and Pozzo di Borgo and Gentz, who came on a special service from Austria between 1-12 and 1814- In this latter year the lady had so far ingra tiated herself with the aristocracy of rank and fashica iu London that she was esteemed a general favourite, and a great acquisition to the corps diplowatique. With the peace, however, came the conflict of interests and intrigues —and from 1815 to 184 Madame de Lieven was tam& too emuante and intriguing to be regarded with favour by English statesmen ana p diticians of any party. During the struggles for Greek independence she did 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 Wellingtcn, 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 m tile herself in the Gr Cc and Roman Catholic questions, she was still more active and intriguiug'in the discussions touching the Ref rsu Bill and the establishment of Belgium as a kingdom. Notwithstand ing, all Russian male and female efforts, both measures were, however, conduc ed 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 suc 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 past of Southern Europe. At Rome he was seized with a sudden illness—an illness of which he died on the 10th of anuary, 1839. After the decease of her husband Madame de L Lieven, who had played so import ant a p art, 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 celebrities of France . b In her s done.her boudoirs th e principal busine ss of the Russian She had her the correspondents information n d her ob t s or i , d d e e from ver y them w part :s o f Europe, and forward• d either to her brother, the Minister of the Russian p o li ce , the General •Aiile.de-Camp Benkendorf, or directly to the Czar himself. Madame de Lieven, in fact, enjoyed as much of the confidence of Nicholas as her late mother-la-law, who was mote Princess in 18A, and addressed, by order of Nicholas, as Soettosh— Iligbuess. For a short period during the embassy of M. Guizot Madame de Lieven returned to this country to lend her prestige to th .t ah , itere Calvinist, whose motto as a diplomatist was Linea recta brevissiina How much this virtuous man profited by Russian female teaching is proved by his course in the Sp an i s h marr i ages . Aft er th e f a ll o f Louis Philippe Madame de Lieven removed her diplomatic office to Brussels, to whi c h c ity M. G u i zo t, 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 sta. Um must have raised her to importance.
