THE PERSIAN .1111,ISSA1)011.

A Paris Paper contains •..ine notion. details of
the history of Miiza A 1)114.11ti 14••••Ytil• Khan the
Per.om Ambassador, now at Pail., on Iris way to
London. Being descended from a distinguished
family, who occupied the highest post of honour
and power under dit Kings of Persia, he himself,
when young, was isporpited to the government or a
district of the kingdom of Persia bordering on the
Perms') Gulf. IVlille thus enjoying his Sovereign's
favour, a reverse of fortune. not uncommon iii the
despotic countries of the east, plunged him hots
the pinnacle of honour lido the depths of adversity.
His uncle, who Killed the situation of Pr Mi.
nistvr at the Court of Persia, was accused. by the
calumnies of jealous eotirtiere, of aspiring In the
thrmir : and the Royal displeasure, of which he its
cons' (limier became the victim, extended its wither.
ing effects to all his fantlly. 'rile tinfoitunate
Minister was put to denili, and his property con.
f.cated to the Crown, while several of his relatiolis
lost their lives or had their eyes pat out, for no
other reason than becail.e they happened to be con-
nected with his family.

.41,110ul Hassan, the Ambassador, who was de.
prised of his governmesit and threatened with a
similar fate, happily escaped death by bring for-
gotten till vengeance was satisfied, and after lan..
guishing in prison for three mouths was allowed to
retire from office and danger into foreign lands.
His first object was to visit the boob of the Pro-
phet at Mecca, and this pilgrimage inspired him
with the wish of more distant travel. Accordingly,
after seeing the chief r ity of the Wechabites, and
other parts of Arabia, lie embarked at 11 issorala on
hoard an English vessel, for Calcutta, clueing the
time that Marquis tVelle■ley was Governor•Ge-
octal of India. lei the British India, and particu-
larly the Deccan, lie spent three years ; when, pro-
ceeding to Bombay, he 'rained that his Sovereign
hid made a tardy discovery of Iris innocence, and
restoring him to favour, had summoned him home.
In 1809, by the influence of a surviving node,
who was Minister of Fulsome, he was sent to Eng-
land in quality of Ambassador, accompanied by
M. Morier, who was at that time Si.cretary of
Embassy at the Court of Persia. In Loodon
he remained only seven months, when lie re-
turned to Persia along with Sir G. Ousley, who
was appointed oar Minister to Persia.
In his passage home the vessel touched at Rio
Janeiro, and A bdoul Hassan was perhaps the first
Persian Ambassador that saw the New World.
When he returned to his master, his services were
requited with the title of Khan, and new marks of
confideloce. He was employed to conclude a peace
with Russia in 1813, and iii the following year pro-
ceeded as Ambassador to St. Petersburg'', wheiice
he returned home after a stay of three years. The
Ambassador is not only known for his diplomatic
services, bet his literary attainments and eleven
accomplishments. He is known to have cultivated
learning with distioguisheil success. Ile speaks
several languages, liiiglish, Arabic, Russian, and
Ilindostiniee. He his written an account of his
travel. in England, India, and Russia, which,
whatever be its merits, has been honoured by his
Sovereign with the title of " The Wonderful
Book ;" and to this " wonderful book" he is said
to be adding fresh chums to the favonr of the
Greut King, by annexilig his observations On France
and Germany. Mitzi Abdoul Hassan iv about
44 years of age, of an ordinary height, but of a
noble and agreeable exterior. Ili, mind is as en-
lightened by study and exiocrienue as his manners
are graceful and polished by his extensive travels
and lies intercourse with the highest society. He is
an accurate observer of works of sit, and bikes an
account of the most remarkable chefs-U.4.count
which he visits in the French capital.
