Affairs, and intmediattly afterwards the Counsel of Mit 'rem was

The overtures u ade Ly ill. de Sorsa to M. Salmon have pro-
duced a risible /mention upon our Statefmen, to which must be
added the inquietude of cssioned by the desertion of the 4th cavalry
of the line, by that of tl.e garrison of Alintkirk, which has just
g,rn.e into Portugal, and by that whith is et ntinually manifesting
I itself through the whole body of the atuty, without even excepting
the Royt 1 Guard.
On the other hard, it is reported that there are going to be formed
in Portugal three filcign legions, of width one is to be Spanish,
which will be the fast formed. 1 ant ignorant of tht foundation of
this report; nor is what have just said, respecting the desertion
from the garrison of Albukirk, official ; but what I can Mare you
of is, that ete couriers from liadajos succeed each other night and
morning, and that the Government carefully conceal all that comes
from thence, and has only published the decree which I have an-
nexed, and this only because the event to which it relates was al-
ready iu eve body's MPUIII
Captain-General of Badajoz, in a repeat which, by my
interference, has been made krewn to him .Majesty, announces that,
on the 2.1 instant. 115 men of the 4th cavalry, in the garrison of
Ohverza, and 111 horns, had gone to Portugal, taking the route
tow; rJa Velvet, having at time heal Lieutenants 31oneado and De
(land, two &team-majors, and three Quarter-masters. This elan-
Wogs desertion deserves to be treated with a rigour that shah make
it remarkable in the annals of military disciehne. Incorrigible
men are in need of new lessons. This seduction again demanda, as
much for the external as the internal state of the country, a me-
movable example of the firm and active vigilance cf the Kirg
against the wicked influence of .I)Ps- dangerous innovations.

Sr. PETERSBURG/I, SEPT. 2.
The Gazelle du Commerce contains the following observations
respecting the commerce of Persia :
Notwithstanding all the importance that 1133 been attributed to
the commerce of Persia, very imperfect nothirs are at present enter-
tained in Europe upon the sithject. The merchants of Comte°.
tinople know but little about it. The English are the only nation
which has directly carried on commerce with Persia, and that by
the port of Benderbuchir, situated upon the Persian Gulf, where
they sold their merchandise for ready money, or exchanged it for
silk•. The business which they thus trnnsac:ed was considerable.
The fete called Noma:, which is celebrated at Tamil', at Teheran,
and throughout Per.is, at the end of February, is the most favour.
able time for the sale of European merchandise. The fair which
then takes place lasts fora whole month. In the month of June it
is necessary to go to Sultania, during the period when the Schell,
annually ITlllaitls there. This city is the only place in Persia
where merchandise is sold for ready money alone, reJ exchange be-
ing made there. At Tauris, on the contrary, the principal vixen-
tions are done by means of exchanges; however, the cloths of
gold acd silver, as well as some few other European merchan-
diser', are paid fcr in money. The Persians receive from Con-
stantinople silk stuffs, gold and silver cloths, and other
articles of French manufacture, let the purchasing of which 300
merchants from Tauris make each an annual voyage. Prince Abbas
usually appropriates 20,000 tomans (about 320,000 rubles)
to this kind of speculation. It is about 600 'reeves from Tstlis to
Tauris. This route, which the merchant convoys go In about 22
to 30 days, and which can be done on horseback in 6or 10 days, is
traversed by a great r.uniter of small rivers and brooks, which must
be passed on foot,which occasions much dtflieulty during the period
of the thaw In the mountains. Yet the road Is not dangerous, and
provisions may be procured everywhere on the way. The caravans
take 10 days to go from Tauris to Sultaoia, which on horseback
tray be done in three days.
The Armenians actually send from Russia to Persia, through
Tetii and Gitilan, 1,600,060 rubles of Russian merchandise, prin.
cipally consisting of glass and crystal ware, coarse muslin, called
miteuli, relined sugar, and other articles. The commerce of
Astraetn is by scn with Leueoran, whence the merchandises are
sent to Taunt on horseback. Every year there arrive at Tauris and
Ernerum from ten to twelve caravans, from Constan.inople. Ac,
cording to the registers of the Customs, Persia receives this way
from 400,000 to 500,e00 tomar.s, equal from six to eight millions of
rubles, of English and French merchandise; and returns raw silks
and other commoditiv. Two or three hundred horses annually
bring from Trebizond to Tauris glass. porcelain, and other articles.
From Benderbuchir are received sugar, coffee, and, other articles.
The value of the merclutntlisett which arrive at Teheran and Tauris
by this way is calculated at 16 millions of rubles. By Bagdad
.several English and French merehandis.s are introduced. In the
single city of Tauris there are received to the amount of 1,600,000
rubles.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
Lisume, firrr. 6.

This article comprehends those who skill have counselled a si-
milar crime, and those who shall have been cognisant of it, and
shall not have deneurced it.

The diminution which the army has experienced, as touch by
desertion as by reductiontgantl.the discharges, would demand a new
recruiting; but the Princess Regent, not wilting to have recourse to
that measure, has addressed a circular to all the nuttiorkies of the
provinces, who are required to publish it, by a hich her highness in.
rites the young men to run to arms to dchad their country and her
libaties, decreeing that all those who shall arm themselves
within forty days after the publication of this circular shall have
given to them a discharge at the end of their service, in which men.
don shall be made that they luxtbeen volunteers during the first
year of the reign of the Constitutional Charter, given to the Patti-
guese by their King, Don Pedro the Fourth.

2. The decrees of the 17111 and 21st August, 1626, against rebel-
lion, shell be applicable to all parsons, whatever may be their
qttality, who, by correspondence, advice, or whatsoever ether means,
shall conceal, or shall aid directly or indirectly, the guilty individu-
als to shorn Article 1 is applicable.
3. The corporrala or soldiers who are alluded to in the same
article, who shall present themselves within one week after the date
of this decree to the civil and mil,tary authorities of his Majeaty,
shall be pardoned so far as concerns the capital punishr.tent.
4. The Ids regiment of Cavalry is reduced ; it■ troops shall be
distributed among those cerpa and at those places where it shall be
convenient for dd. service of the King. The Captain-General of
the province of Estrennadura is charged to effect this reduction.
6. In consequence of this the officers and chiefs with the corps at
the time of the desertion, and *ire were there when the last review
of the regiment by the Commissioners took place. are suspended
from. their duties, till the issue of what is about to be eltereed is
the 7th ert:ee Is 1 n'wn.
6. The Chiefs cf the Peace of °livens* are also suspended. ,
7. A Council of S'ar shall be immediately Conned according to
the ordinances, which, acting summarily, shall examine whether
the Chiefs of the aforesaid vgituent had been watchful, as it was
their duty to be, to maintain order and discipline among the corps ;
whether the other Officers had fulfilled their respective duties; and
whether all of them, as well as the Chiefs of the place, had been
suitably watchftrto serve and defend the garrison. This Council
will take the mere active steps to clitcover the origin, the course,
the progresa, and the relations of the event marked by Article I.
8. The Council will kimedintely execute its decisions, and, in
rendering an account thereof to his 3lajesty, will accompar.y it by
account of the rammary procedure.

9. III.; Majesty holds responsible the Inspcetors-General and Di-
rectors-General of the diffacnt armies for the officers whom they

shall propcse to be appointed. They shall at first demand thu
sending away of those who shall not be entitled to their confidence,
for it is the King's wish that loyalty and bonen, may be the first
qualities of the (Akers who may be employed.

10. As soon as an officer under their orders shall have erased to
merit their confidence, the Generals commanding the army, or of
the provinces, shall render an account thereof to his Majesty.
Lastly. His Majesty has observed that the suggestions of the re-
volutionary contagion have been executed only by two subaltern
ofdeers ; he is pleased in the confidence which he has that his
Royal Guard and his army will partake of his noble indignation
against those who have so highly forfeited their military honours,
and that they wilt prove on all occasions their honour and their fide-
lity. and will emcee far from their ranks those who shall testify in.
gratitude for the g•rodness of his Majesty, and shall show them.
selves unworthy of their country as well as of the army. The Kicg
equally hopes Oct the Royal Cwtd and the army may be rivals in
zeal and loyalty, that they will keep the most perfect discipline,
preserve the best spirit, and 'bow themselves worthy of the ancient
loyalty of Spaniards.
I communicate this to you by order of the King, in order that
you may be Instrected in it, and that you may cause it to be pub-
lished, as a general order of the army, of the corps, and of the
places which you command. God preserve you many years.
Madrid, Sept. p, 1825. (Signed) SAMBRANO.
It appears that his Majesty is satisfied with the conduct of Count
d'Espagne, concerning the uffair where Don Carlos was saluted by
L the ll.ig ; and that the Kin 3. has just nominated him a Grandee 4.1
Spain.

We have given, in another part of this day's paper, a
notice issued from the Russian Consulate-General's Office,
stating that in future all yards arriving from places where
the yellow fever is known to be a disease peculiar to the
climate, if provided with regular quarantine certificates,
shall not as hitherto be delayed twelve (lays before entering
the ports of Russia. This, of itulf, is a great concession
on the part of Russia to the commercial interests of this
country, and will be felt as such by our merchants; but
we particularly hail it as indicative of an approximation to
those enlightened principles of commercial intercourse so
forcibly set forth by Mr. itestasson during the last and
former S:ssions of Parliament. We hope that the Russian
Government will not atop here, but proceed gradually to a
relaxation of other parts of their maritime code, and that
these soma principles sill force their way generally
throughout the other maritime States of Europe.

A French corvette of war has just entered our port, coming from
that of 11,'Orient. As we are but little accustomed here to see
•hips of war of that nation, the arrival of this corvette has occa-
sioned matter of talk among our politicians.
The extraordinary coot iers from Fmtice to the English Ambas-
sador are very common; those to the Spanish Ambassador are as
frequent ; but with all the other Ambassadors or Foreign Legs.
lions them is not observed to be any more activity than before the
publication of the Const:tulon.
The soldiers of the four companies of the Royal Guard of Po-
lice are detained on board the Saint Bastian, but it appears that
they will not be subjected to any judgment, nor judicial prosecu-
' don, but will be simply incorporated into different corps of the
amt y.

It is reported that M. de Maio Breyner will not be appointed
31 inb.tre of Justice and of Ecckstiastical Affairs, but that the
porr.tolio will be eocfltled to M. Gut:witch who is actually charged
with it pal it,tct im.

MADRID, SEPT. 11.
(PRIVATE COURT.SPORDEN(E.)

Al. de Scum. Vaunt de Villa-Real. appears to have felt it ne-
cessary to r;:nair. two months at :putrid. Hit Excellcnry had, on

accounts from the Havannah have spoken of the paucity
of Spanish shipping there. The movement on the part of
these troops is possible, but we think by no means pro-
bable; but, if it be true to the fullest extent, we can sec
nothing to alarm the sensitive nerves even of the fre-
quenters of the Stock Exchanges. Stich an act on the part
of the Governor of Cuba couid have no other effect than
that of producing local and temporary mischief. The
stability of the Mexican Government, or of that of any of the
recently-recognised States, is not to be shaken by the united
force of the Spaniel) Monarchy, much more by ti laantlful
of disheartened soldiers, who have been previously driven
out of the South American territories. The recognition
of the new States by Great Britain was a memorahle epo-
eha in the annals of diplomacy ; for our Governmint con-
trived to place this country in a situation to take the first
advantage of the rising greatness of the emancipated Colo-
nies, and at the same time to act so fairly and candidly
towards the mother country as to silence the murmurs of
the most fastid;uus diplomatic cavillers. The British Ca-
bin: t broke through the trammels of the Holy Alliance by
its firmness and independent conduct; and the remon-
strances of the Spanish Ministry as to English policy
with regard to South Ametica were left unaided to the

mercy of Mr. CANNING'S unanswerable arguments.—
The caution tbat the British Government evinced before
it approached the question of recognition disarmed those
who were interested in opposing the measure. The capa-
bility of the States for maintaining all the relations of in-
dependent Governments wqs placed beyond a doubt be-
fore the Ministered England took a step that will be re-
membered with gratitude by their countrymen so long as
free institutions and comoiercial pre-eminence are cherished
by us. We have bean led to these remarks by the sensa-
tion that is excited by every unfavourable report that is
brought, or said to be brought, from the Next IVorld.
Alarmists tremble, and fancy they see the Patriots again
exposed to the despotic sway of Spanish Governors, and
the property of English capitalists embarked in South
American projects irrevocably lest; whilst the few ad-
vocates of exploded doctrines silently rejoice at the prospect
of restricted trade being again carried on with legilimate
colonists, for the whole system of the present Government
creates a horror in their minds which the loss of political
power, or mercantile greatness, would never produce, pro-
vided principles, in direct opposition to the progress of
knowledge, were mitered to. it is not to be expected that
the South American Governments can proceed to maturity,
and have all their institutions firmly established, without
suffering many vicissitudes, both externally and pater-
nally. Eruptions, similar to that referred to in the com-
mencement of this article, arc to be expected. The Go-
vernor of Cuba, knowing that even temporary anneviance to
his revolted subjects trill please his Royal Master, without
contemplating the wanton loss of human life these preda-
tory expeditions must cause, will probably waste all the
troops he san spare in this marauding warfare; and internal
dissensions are still more likely to follow the splendid
events that have taken place in Southern America ; but
these circumstances will ultimately tend (es we, on a former
occasion, predicted) to consolidate the strength of the Go-
vernments of the 'sew World, and reusl.,:r our commercial
and political relations with th:n:: more valuable.

CITY, SATURDAY EVENING.

The British Stock Market setts very uninteresting at the
early period of the day. Consuls, which opened at 80/,
varied between that and 80!, but the whole difference be-
tween buyers and tellers did no. t exceed per cent. The
contending parties showed little disposition for any de-
cided movement, and minor trausactions had the effect of
raising or depressing an eighth, bit tween buyers and sellers,
as the case might be. Most bum'ness was done towards
the close of the market, at wide' a period Consols may be
stated at 801;. There was a tote 1 absence of any inter-
esting matter, as regards news, an d scarcely a rumour was
promulgated. Exchequer Bills at eat 183. premium; but
India Mind* ars two shillings lower titan yesterday, being
at 27. •
A considerable sensation was apparent in the Foreign
Market, in consequence of an intimation conveyed through
a letter, posted at the North and South American Coffee-
house, to the effect that from 5,003 to 6,0u0 Spanish troops,
from Cuba, had effected a landing at Tampico. The au-
thority on which this information rests is that of a letter
from Portsmouth, from a passenger on board the Emme-
line, from New York to Ilavre, she being said to have sailed
from the former place on the 29th August, and is there-
fore a week later than any intelligence previously received.
It was known that a considerable force had been
assembled in the Island of Cuba, which consisted
not only of the regular military force of the Island,
but of large numbers of troops that had been con-
veyed there from several of the South American States on
their etuaneipation. These troops, of course, had not been
allowed to remain idle on the Island, the Governor having
put them in a regular train of organization, and are, there-
fore, to be presumed competent for the service mentioned
in the letter in question. But, supposing such to be the
case, how lt•tve they been transported to Tampico ? The
Spanish fleet did not consist of move than five ships alto-
gether, and only one of them of the line, and two of them
but corvettes, so that the embarkation of 6,000 men on
board these vessels would be impussiLle, even though they
should be wedged as close as African slaves in a sugar-
hogshead. It is possible other means may have been ob-
tained for their transport, but that is doubtful. The effect
produced on Mexican Bonds, by the supposition of their
operations being likely to effect that State, was that of de-
pression ; they went down to 61. Doubts, however, that
were thrown in the way of the correctness of this informa-
tion, had the effect of a reaction, and they went up to 621;
but this rise was not sustained, and they finally closed at
614, with a heavy market at that price. Why Colombian
Bonds were not aff.tted by this piece of information does
not appear; and this is somewhat singular, for the more
probable supposition is, that if au expedition of the kind
was in progress, this would in all probability be the scene
of action. Colombian Bonds, however, retained their
quotation of 351 36. European Continental Bonds were
all done a shade lower, but nothing-like•actility prevailed
in respect to them. .

The speculators in Mexican Bands were thrown into - Mr. Canning bad an audience of the King of France on
consternation on Saturday, in consequence of a letter posted Thursday last.
at the North and South American Coffee-house (given in The Danish Minister, and the Hanoverian Charge
another column), which states that a Spanish force of d'AfFairs, transacted business on Saturday with Mr. Planta,
UtttlerSib&.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, at the Fe-
between .5 and 6,000 men had landed in Mexico from areign
fleet that was off that coast. The writer of the letter is a oir Frederick. Adam, the Lord High Commissioner of
passenger in au American ship bound from New York to the lonian Islands, transacted business on Friday, and also
on Saturday, with!Mr. Hay, Under Secretary of ;State for
Havre-de-Grace, and the communication was transmitted
tkhe, Colonial. Department, at the Colonial Office. Sir
Frederick was engaged with Mr. Hay upwards of au hour
from Portsmouth. It is asserted that the vessel in ques•
tion (the Emmeline) sailed on the 09:It of August from New onr
York. If that Incorrect, she is the latest arrival by five or Mr. Meales, the King's Messenger, arrived at the office
six days from the United States, and therefere it is possible of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on Friday
the intelligence alluded to might have arrived between the night,bifrom Lisbon, with despatches from the Right flo-
