The Hon. Company's steamer Feroze returned
from the Persian Gulf on the Bth inst., after a shcrt male*
in those waters, and has brought intelligence that the news
of the expedition is:eaded to be despatched from Bombay
had caused great excitement at Bushire. About two
thousand trove which were encamped in the neighbour-
hood, and which were about to march into the interior, had
received orders to remain when the Ferns' anchored in
the roadstead. When the Fercee arrived at Bushire,
she staff officers who went in that vessel, for the
patios, of mating preparations for the espsdi•loa,
landed in the town, and proceeded to the Residency. Com-
mander Jones, the Resident, upon seeing them, directed
them to p on board again, as he could cot answer for their
lives if they remained, on account of the excited state of the
population. They accordingly re•embarked i■ the Farts*,
which conveyed them to llwasadore, the bead-quarters of
the Gulf squadron, where they are safe from the violence of
t►e Persians. Captain Rennie. the commander of the
Peron, also landed at Bushire, with despatches for
the Resident, among which, we understand, was
the declaration of war against the Shah, which
was immediately despatehed to Teheran by an
express courier. Upon receiving letters for the Bombay
government from the Resident, Captain Rennie returned to
the Fermat, and took careful soundings of the harbour as he
went along, the result of which, we learn, establishes the
practicability of our vessels approaching near enough to
shell the place, and cover the landing of troop. The
Resident and his militant, Captain Diobrowe, with the rest
of the residency staff, still remained at Bashire, under the
protection of the governor, who assured them of their safety
from the rabble soldiery who gaarisoned the town.

From the Madras Athenceunt we learn that Lord
Hods left the Preaideocy by ,riin on the evening of the

Wo read in the. Calcutta Englishman :—" A Persian
letter from the Nepal frontier mentions the iutentiou of
the mother of klabarejs Dalttrp Slog, the sa•Rasee Chun
dra Betty, to pressed to Euglend in order to lay her sad
case before Queen Victoria. The ea-Renee bee taken the
opinion of corned in Calcutta, whither she can (nay ass•
bark for England without danger of imprisonment by the
company's government. T►is lady is so clever at evasion,
that her apprehensiNas on that score may be thought ground-
less. It seems likely that sll the Rennes sad Prisms.. of
India will Nees assemble roand her M jesty's throne, de-
weeding jostles egeinst the East ladle Company."
