DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAILS.
•—••■■••—
WARSAW, Nov. 20.—Accounts from Kovno say,
that the march of the Russian troops to the South

still continues.
Sr. PCTE RS MIMI, Nov. 21.—8 y an Ukase
addressed to the Senate, his Majesty the Emperor
has commanded the establishment of a Russian
General Consulate in Persia. The annual expen-
diture her the establishment is fixed at 2300 Dutch
ducats.—The Councillor of State, Wazenko, from
the Foreign department, is appointed Consul-Gene-
ral, with a salary of 1250 ducats per annum. All
the Officers of the Consulate receive a year's sa-
lary to defray the expenses of theirjuurney.
We communicate the following particulars from
letters that have b en received at Hamburghfrom
Constantinople
26.—The Russian ships continue to pass
freely. The Greeks living in this country are better
treated by the Authorities; and the of the
populace towards them has rather abated. There
has been no public execution fur this fortnight.
The invasion of the Persians is confirmed. It is
thought they have taken Bagdad, as well as Tcan
and Topralkali, in Armenia ; and besiege Kars and
Eraerum, the only defences of the Empire on that
side.
OCT. 29.—The force of the Persians is estimated
at 150,000 men. It is not supposed that Erzerum
can hold out long. This war has been made known
to the people by a Firman of the Sultan.
Oct. 30.—Important intelligence is said to have
been received from St. Petersburgh, which may
lead to an amicable arrangement between the two
Powers, The Fort continues to behave with the
saute arrogance towards the Chriaian Powers. It
pretends not to attach much importance to the
Persian war.
Nov. 2.—lt is certain that despatches have been
received by the Porte direct from St. Petersburg'',
and others express from Vienna, by the Imperial
Internuncio. The day before yesterday a General
Council was held of all the great Officers of the
Empire. The Reis Effendi was dismissed yesterday
and sent into exile to Asia. Some believe that this
is only a covert manner of sending a negociator to
treat with the Persians. The Maronites have
made an alliance with the Droises ; the Wachabites
have recommenced their incursions ; the greater
part of Syria and Arabia is in an unsettled state.
Ali Paella still hoids out in Joannia—the Paella of
Scutari, with his Albanians, undertakes nothing
againat him. Servia is reported to be in insurrection.
It is farmed, that after the perfidious execution of
some of their Chief's, the Paella sent front hence
has been cut to pieces by them, together with his
attendants. An army of 60,000 men, distinct Irian
the army of the Danube, which was to march mu
Livadia, will be detained by this insurrection.—
Great uneasiness is entertained respecting the
answer which the Sultan will give to the ultimatum
of Russia. The situation of the Talks is ex-
tremely critical. The Ministers of the Porte have
310 power ; all time reports are made to the chief fa-
vourite, }laleb Effendi, who receives the commands
of the Sovereign, and ha is unhappily arrogant.
obstinately fanatical, cruel, and coven
The Ambassadors of all the Europe au Power'',
without exception, have for some time past signified
to the Porte that it must hasten to accede to the
terms of Russia, otherwise it cannot expect any
support .from their Severeigns.

M Zee had demanded as audience of the Grand
Vizier, and commenced negotiations to obtain also
an audience of the Sultan, without being obliged to
give the usual presents. This has I):.en counter-
acted by un intrigue, and the audience has not
taken place. People have a most fortis:it:dile idea of
the three of Russia, dad this opinion having estab-
lished itself among the people, may greatly diminish
their courage to resist in case of u war. Armenia
will be the theatre of great event•. More prudent
and mote submissive than the Greeks, the Arme-
nians are, however, equally fanatic. Christians,
flying in the midst of Mussulinen, they will not
immediately expose themselves to danger. hut
would certainly have less to object to the Persians
than to the Turks; and if the intervention of
Russia should insure their political existence as a
nation, they would probably embrace with eager-
ness the oppe:tunity to shake off the yoke. They
