the Ambassador on his first arrival in the capital
of France, end which were not less important iii
their nature than the question of the Kumla, which
prevented Lord AMHERST from being admitted into
the celestial presence of the Chinese Morainal. The
world as yet remains in ignorance whether the
Persian Ambassador turned his back upon the

letter ftoiu M. MACIRONE, expressing his surprise
at a paragraph which recently appeared in this

that railed in December from the Thames for
South America, lied re-taken a Spanish brig in
the possession of • pirate. and Aran her to Ann
