FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

. . ,
CONIANTINOFL'E, APRIL JAUBERT, Se-
cretary and inferpreter to His Majesty the Emperor
of the French, well known here from the several
missions in which he has been employed, to the Sul-
tan, had been sent his Sovereign.to *the King of
Persia. We had heard nothing of him for up-
wards of a year, and n doubt was any longer en-
tertained of his death ; at length, however, we have
beet) informed of his situation. His letter to M.
RUFFIN, the French Charge d'Affaires, will convey
some 'idea of the sufferi,ngs of this interesting young
tman.
-When, the Sublime Potte was of his
mission to 'Persia., they gave him a Finnan to protea
his passage. He arrived at the Cdurt of the l'ersian
Schah, .whO had dispatched a considerable escort to
meet him. •

COPY OF A LETTER I.llolt M. JAUBERT TO,M.
" From the Camp:of the. Vizier usef Pachx, 60 leagues
S. W. -ot Ertz ROltril• March 14, 1606.
Stn--,Divine Providence, that watches over the
destinies;of Franc, has permitted me to survive the
event which I have the hOnour to relate, and for
the publication of which I am rather anxious'. At'
the same tittle trequest you Will transmit it to His
Majesty's Government.
" I left Ertz Roum on the night of July 1., and
Continued my journey to the north.east of that place,
Wit hont meeting with any dauger,but from two corps
of Kurdish cavalry, 'from whom I escaped by the
`,swiftness of my horses, and the obsenrity'of the
night. The Russians being in the neighbourhood
have occasioned these hordes to overrun the whple
country south of the Araxus. I traversed this river
on *the 4th, and on the following day I arrived at the
principal source of the Euphrates, about 54 leagues
from Ertz Rolm).
" On the evening of the sth I was obliged to stop
at Arzab, anArtnenian village, two leagues from 13a.;
j'azed; a city where MAHMoUD PACHA resides. This
,Governor, hearing of me at tlwvillage, expressed his
wish to :see. me, and sent some horsemen with orders
to *condud me to his residence. MAHMOUD
is about 32 years of age, and famous in this coun-
try for his- tyranny, his vexatious spirit, and his
riches. Ho received me with great coolness in' his
first intervie-,-, and ha'ving separated me froth my.
people, questioned them concerning me ; and while
he affe&ed a great deal of politeness on my account,
he actually, as I was afterwards informed, put my
guide to the torture, from whom, having extorted
sonic equivocal acknowledgments, be afterwards had
the'man secretly assassinated. At the same tithe he ,
formed the base project of robbing- me, as much to
satisfy his avarice, as to make himself' agreeable to
.the Russians.
You may go; said he to me, to Erwan, which
is but, five leagutis from hence, but tail not upon your .
return to pass through my Province.
I shaltentrust you with .some business at Con-
stantinople, and with JusEF PACHA. : you shall
be escorted by my most faithful seryani: When
they arrive upon the frontier, they will deliver to
you a passport. Your guide will rejoin you this
evening.'
" 1 suspeEted his treachery, but it was not in my
power to avoid it. I left Bajazed with a considerable
escort, and under the protection of a Viziey of the
• Sublime Porte : I had a "right, thdrefore, to consi-
der myself in full security ; but you will perceive
how my confidence was rewarded.
" There is a stream at the fbot of Mount Ararat
' that runs into the Caspian Sea ; this stream is a
boundary between the territory of-the Sublime
• Porte and that of Persia. I passed it, and finctink
is myself upon the Persian territory, my guides invited
me to alight from my horse; but, while I was thanlE-
ing Heaven for having reached the Persian territory,
.at such a distance from thy own country, 1 vas sur-
rounded, disarmed, and thrown with my face to the
ground. At this moment, Heaven is my witness, no
unworthy thought °nee entered my mind :—my last
Wishes were for die prosperity of my Sovereign's
arms. I did not forget that I carried the Imperial
Eagle, around which is engraved these words—Ho-
nour—our Country; the first my only guide, and the
latter the object of all my affedions;
" Thus surprised and arrested upon the Persian
territory, I was dragged away by those persons whose
duty it was to defend me from my enemies. In this
situation I was left till the evening ; night coming
on, I was concluded over frightful precipices, quite
out of the beaten road ; and, after a march of three
hours, I arrived at a lonely house at sorne distance
froth Bajazed, where the PAox A, in disguiser waited

my arrival. I complalned bitterly or this wait of
good taith,. and in firmness on this oceasipl ray ~cl
my life, as well as the lies of those who aecornpa-
nied tne. This traitor, fearing the cunsequence of
his attempt, said, with some embarrassment, that he
should write to Constantinople. He then caused me
to be stripped .naked, and I was dragged to the cas-
tle, where there is a subterraneons dungeon; an in;-
vention wOrthy of. such a wretch. •

About inikinight I was obliged to descend into

this cavern by a '-rope, the l'ACn,‘ giving orders to
the Commandant 'of the:Castle to
,keep me upon a
small quantity of bread nd water—to keep my con-
finement a profound secret—and not to allow me to
have any light, for fear people should suspeCt the
faa of some.person's being imprisoned there.
" I languished in this situation, and in the mean
while the Plague raged in the city. The heat of the.
weather WaS intolerable. I was without clothes,
and without, hopes, of life; still I was in pretty good'
health, as were also the three persons who belonged
to me. Aboatthe,ist of Vendemiaire, of the yea`
14, the 'Priem was atfetted With the Plane, and
in one of the intervals of his malady, lie gave orders
to have "he assassinated. This the Commandant of
the Castle refused to execute; and this \vas not the
only service done me by this venerable Mussulman
'during 'the eight months I was in confinement:, to
him I owe my life and liberty.
" The Pacha died ; the City • was then divided
into two• parties respeaing the choice of_a succes-
sor. AGHbIET his son, at length earned the
cause. To me he seemed more dangerous than his
father. One of my horses happened to be recog-
nized, and he ordered it to be, killed. He also re-
moved my friend, the Commandant of the Castle,
andiseeMed inclined to deprive me of the wretched
existence Which his father had spared, just at the.
time when he was seized by the plague, and, like
his father, carried off. BEY Mil sur-
vived, ancf seemed more favonrably' inclined than
his predecessors ; still he suffered me to remain a
captive : he did nothing more than order my place
of confinement to be shifted, after the expiration of
34 days. During this interval, I found an oppor-
tunity of writing a few lines, and sending tie2in into,
Persia t I have since received two answers, copies of
which I have enclosed, and sent to my Government.
" The Vizier JUSEI, BEY having been informed
of my history, gave orders for me to attend hith. A
Persian Officer, arrived at the same time from Taurus,
to claim me in the name of his sovereign. The Bey
caused me to be condueted here, and I cannot suffi-
ciently praise the reception I have met with. It is
still my intention .to deliver the letter (merely' a
friendly one) of which I am the bearer, to the King of
Persia. The Sublime Porte will feel, presume, that
it cannot consistently deny me a passage. It is the
interest of the Porte, and, above all, it is that of jus-
tice, not to abuse its power on my account, or to take
an advantage of my weakness. I speak in the name
of a Sovereign whose name is revered through the
universe. If the Sublime Porte wishes to preserve
his friendship, let it give him thisproof of its own
amity. I request ybu Will send a Cony of this to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, to whom I have not
written, having almost forgotten my native language ;
ey.cuse, therefore, the style of this letter. Tell him
that he may .assure the Emperor, I Mill not return
without fulfilling my mission. -Eight months, pa:ised
without my seeing' the light of the sun, ha:e, out
abated my zeal. I shall not see Paris till I return
from Ispahan with the answer.of the Persian Soh:no
" P. AMADLE lALIBL t'l'." •

The Adela arrived at New York on the sth of
'May from Cayenne, in 24 days, where she had been
embargoed froth, the 25th of March until that time,
in consequence of four French Frigates and three
Brigs having arrived there from Cadiz. It is not im-
probable but this Squadron was destined to fbrrn a
junction with that of JEROMF:BONAP-ARTE, acid to
carry such supplies to his division as it might have
had occ'asion for,

The combinations amotts the tailors, in • conse-
quence of women being einployed in this busy sea-
son of the year,' increase daily. Within the last. ,few
days many Masters have been left without a single
workman. upwards of fifty Jurneiymen,. who were
employed at a shop in Bond-street, struo on Sa-
turday. It cannot surely be necessary to suggest to:
the Magistrates,that mere imprison men t,inwh ich such
offenders are plentifully supported by subscription, is,
not a sufficient-puni3hment. Would not hard labour,
and bread and water, prove a more effectual cure for
the disorder. • ,

We are assured, on the authority of several Off-
cers belonging to the Squadron of Sirs.r. B. WAR-.
REH; that there was no truth in The Ora graph in-
sorted in most of the PaperT:, relative to the pretend-
ed Address of Admiral Ltx. ors to h Officers,*stating.
that an Edid of BONAPARTE had reduced all Frencil
Naval Officers captured by the English to 1-4th
their aelual pay.
A few days ago, Mr. LucKug, of Nafferton, and
some of his.acquaintance, went t 9 the mansion of
Sir CHARLES FL/TRAM, Bart. in South Dalton, 'for
the diversion of shooting rooks in the rookery at that
place : When, to their great astonisliment one of
the young rooks (full fledged) that fell bi' their
shots, had fotir legs ;. two of ,which in every repeCt
',rem like the legs of the other birds, but the two
extra leg= were of a much lighter colour, and nearer
to the tail.
