It is asserted in &Vaud that the Cabinet of St.

frontier, and to insist that ill the Persian ports in

stab of territory would comprehend the whole south-
east of Mineola, and bring the frontier line in one
place to within Outfit fifty (German) miles of
Tibreut; whereas the Rsisseitis have at present no
possessions in the south of the Kur or Cyrus, but a
good route for caravans is already open to them on
the north of the Caspian Sea to &wham The well

TUE QUEEN.—The account of the state of tit
QUEEN yrbterday was—
" Her Majesty coniinees much the saw."
Her MAJESTY was in a very composed and com-
fm table state during Sunday.

From dermnii Papers received last night, we
learn that the Neapottan Coveru►dent hits adopted
a new system of coinage, in which silver coin
alone, and without any reference to the gold coin
of the State, is assumed as the standard fur the
valuatio►► of all objects of trade dm! commerce.
The country is indebted for this improvement to the
wisdom and perseverance of the Chevalier 1)E
111EDICI, and it would have been carried into effect
so far hack as the year 1803, had not the war inter-
ropted the progress of domestic economy and
useful arts.

An article from Colmar contradicts the report
that preparations are making in the several corps of
the Army of Occupation to leave France in the
ensuing autumn; no such preparations having been
made, nor even orders to that effect r-t issued.—
Although that event may be confidently antici-
pated, such prep walnuts or orders would he pre-
mature at the present moment ; they would, in
some to wore, supersede the neceleilty of the en-
suing Congress of Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle,
by whom the subject is to lie taken into considera-
tion, and whose first will be the first announcement
of this determination.

Emperor of RUSSIA and King of l'atsrtA were at

scoff of the Treasury scribes. The dinner this day
will, notwithstanding their coarse jokes and
