AND THE FAIVC ''''''''''''''

DOVER. APRIL R 5.

About three this afternoon, 11. M. schooner
Pioneer arrived in the Roads, and very slimily after
the boat belongnig to the Customs put off Irmo het
snider a salute. She had on board the Persian A m
bassador and s► ite. who ou landing were greeted
wish another salute from the guns at the heights.
As the schooner had been seen for some time before
her arrival, there was au amazing concourse of people
assembled on the beach, and the novel nature of the
arrival of ten or a dozen persmis, habited in silks mid
turbans, with daggers and luog beards, to 110 small
degree attracted the attention of the inhabitant',
whose curiosity had beets raised to the highest
pitch by the different accounts of the beauty
of the fair Circassian ; and had not a roach been
provided at the water's edge, I much doubt if his
Excellency and suite would have reached the
without considerable difficulty. The crowd
followed to Wright's Hotel nearly as fast as
the carriage, it being reported by some that the
fair female was in a mask, under the Italia of a
male attendant, while Alerts stated that she would
not he lauded till the risid.lle of the night. In
about half ail 110 Or, however, after the arrival of the
first boat, • second boat came ban the Is abour,
moil fainted the Circassian Beauty ! She was at-
tended from the schooner by Lieutenant Graham,
of the Preventive Service, Hod two black tunnels.
She was scarcely seen ; for the instant she landed,
she was put into a coach which conveyed her to the
ism. Site had on a hood, which covered the up.
per port of her head, .1,11 a large silk shawl
.creened the lower part of her face, across the nose,
from iib,erva tom ; therefore, her eyes, which are
truly beautiful, and part of her forehead, weir the
only 1114111 of her beauties that could be seen. She
is of the middle stature, and appeared very interest-
ing. Her look was languid from arISMK
from a rough passage. She was coodocted to a bed-
room on reaching the too, but nu one was allowed
to attend her but ',he eunuchs.
