The latest *deices from Vieima considerably
augment our holies of a speedy peace, which, ac-
cording to report, is expected to be followed by
politics! and matrimonial alliances between the
three Courts. Some persons as,ert, that the peace
with Austria (or, as others say, a truce for twenty
years) is actually sigued. It is further Paul, that
we may aspect the speedy return of His Majesty to
this capital.

The Madrid Gazette contains some remarks on
the late military operations, among which occurs
the following passage :—" 130,000 Spaniards, the

nary Treaty, concluded oil the 15th March, be-
tween Kiglaud and Persia. have outhing mole

stauding the unfavourable aspect of afiairii upon
our first arrival in Persia, every thing has been
achieved that could have beau expected under the
most favourable cireutnetances. lu April, isoe,
Sir 11. Jones arrived at Bombay, charged with a
missiots from his own to this Court. The Gover-
nor-General of ludic, Lord Mite% lied previously
deputed General Malcolm, up the Gulf of Persia,
for the *some purpose. Tiw sailed from
Boutbsy after he received intelligence of the arri-
val of the King's Ambassador in lodin, and tiuve
days previous to the arrival oldie latter at Bombay.
There, from !natives of delicacy, Sir Ilarford
Jones awaited I VII the 110,Lie of General Mat.

with the perfect approbation of the Governor.G,

wrinhhatobiir., to lease Pirsia, liegging Sir
•141111:11 L. follow the dictittcb of Lta own discre-

tien. Accordingly, en the 17th of Septetnber,Sir
Hr Jonas sailed from &nullity, and arrived-at
Bushire on the 12th of the following mouth. He
immediately notified his arrival as His Majesty's
Envoy, to the Persian Ministry. While waitiug for
the answer, he received a letter from the Go►enor-
General, directed to him at Bombay, requesting
him to suspend his departure. When he received
this letter, he had not only sailed from India, but
had actually commenced his negociations in Persia.
It was therefore impossilde fur him to obey, in any
shape, Lord Miuto's letter. On the 17th of De-
cember Sir 11. doers set off from Bushire, for the
capital, a journey of 700 miles. Nothing I ould
equal the distinguished honour and respect with
which hr was treated. On the road he received a
letter from the King of Persia, declaring His Ma-
jesty's desire to see him i tttttt ediately, and request-
ing him to expedite his journey to the capital. flu
the eve of his departure from Schyraz, Sir IL
Jones received a second letter from Lord Mints,
(Weil •tOth October, by which he suffered a period
of 36 days to elapse, without giving Sir H. any in-
structions whatsoever.

This diepatch required that Sir Harford. in
whatever eituat the letter should hod him,
should immediately retire from the Persian terri-
tories. It likewise informed 6ifto, that Gement
Malcolm was ensuing up the Gulf with a hotly of
troops, to teke forcible possession of the Island of
Karack. Ciifortuuately, this latter intelligence
readied Sehyriis *l3'4m:l-thirty hours before the re-
ceipt of Lord Alinto's letter. 'The dismay and
confusion occasioned by this report, it is impossible
to describe. %Visite the Persiais Ministry were utterly
at a loss to reconcile the actual appearance•of the
King's Envoy io Persia, in a pocitic character, with
the hostile proceedings of the Governoo-Generab it
ioust be enures:sett that it required some exertion to
get our Envoy out of the scrape. Sir Herford,
however, overeame all difficulties, and he set off for
!sputum. 'fere fresh reports were succeeded by
letters from General 'Malcolm himself, specifyiug
the day lie could act/tally leave Bombay. Sir El.
Junes had again to go through scenes, similar to
those which took place at Schrift, and indeed hi
had almost iusurniminteble difficulties to contend
with. General Gardantie, the French Ambassa-
dor, was still at Ttelwan„ making every possible
exertion to prevent Sir Hurford Jones's approach.
Messengers were hourly expected from France,
with intelligence, that all the King of Persia's pro-
posals to the government had been complied with.
General Malcolm, if not actually arrived, might be
within sight of the coast, and Sir Hayford Jones
found himself at a distance of eio miles from the
teat of Government, surrounded by a set of men,
who could delay his departure for Ispahan as long
as they Hewed, and who were not only able, but
willing. to take airy advantage of the sukward pre-
dicainent hi winch he stood. A second timer he
removed all difficulties, awl recommenced his
journey to the capital. lie arrived there in

when, on the g-2,1 ult. a dispatch :mired from Lord
Milo°, dated the 3:nli of January, positively cow-
l:lauding the Eavoy to quit the ferries territories
without a moment's delay. Lord Minto, by the
same lisp itch, ditests Sir flarford Junes of his
function (his power to do which mast he supposed
very questionahle), and informed him, that his bills
will be refused in Who, and those already paid
charged to his persustal debit.
mA letter was also transmit teri to the President, at
Bushire, disavowing Sir Herron' Jones's public
character, with strict orders that it should he imme-

himself bound in duty to withhold this dispatch
from the Persian Ministry; but Lord M.'s mea-
sure of refusing payment to his: hills, left him no
choice. No time, I::erefore, was lost in rommu-
nieetiug the intelligence to the Kine; and, had the
latter consented to the Ambassador withdrawing
himself, the French iiitla:•ace had I.i.:en agaiii estn-

the light of an insult to himself, us well as to the

LONDON.
MONDAY, OcTo•sa ta.

We noticed. on S.iturday, the arrival of Mr.
Moatce, private Secretary to Sir H•aroap Jeers,
the British Envoy to the Court of Persia. Mr.
plashes is the bearer of dispatches, annisionring the
.cninpletv overthrow or the French influence in
Petsia, the departure of the French Gnieral GAR-
DAIS N z front the capital, and all eotroterpart of a
Treaty concluded by our Envoy, on the 13th of
March, with the Persion Goveninsent. It appears,
that, in the execution of this important mission.
Sir HARroelb JONES acquitted himself with great
ability, but that Lord Mawr°, the Governor-C.e..
sera! in India, has divested him of his polity:
functions. and apprised the Persian Court that Le
is only to be considered es a private person. Lord
NitriTo's ragmen' are nut stated, but they are pro-
bably connected with the circumstance of General
hbis.cous having betn deputed, upon a similar
mission, by the Government of India. The King of
PERSIA has, however, declared his drtcrmination to
adhere to the treaty, and has detained Sir Haanses.
Jortu until he receives intelligence from the Court
of St. James's, to vrhidi he has sent a Charge-tka-
4aisirts, with a formal complaint against the con.
duct of the Government of India in the business.
This person has accompanied Mr. Moult'', to

:wowing the official notification of Peace between
France and Austria. ou the 3d instant. The Cos-
raw Extraordissary w not the Official Paper, but
it adds, that public rejoicings had taken place, a
circumstance that must be known to the Editor,
and which confirms the account of the arrival of
official iutelligence on the subject.—This is the
only mention in the Dutch Papers of a Treaty
actually signed, with the exception of an article
under the Paris head, which states, that instead of
a Peace, it is u Truce for 2u years that has been
concluded. The length of time which has inter-
veiled, without bringing us the details of the
Treaty, or even an Official account of its actual
conclusion. ha; excited some surprise, and induced
some persons to entertain a doubt of the fact.—
The German Papers, however, although they have
