PERSIA.

- -
The National Gazette, of Berlin, publishes 0
follows the text of the official declaration of Dell.
trality of the Persian Government. It is dated as
long back as the 27tit of January
"From the commencement of the difference wia-I"ch
has taken plat- between Russia and the Ottoman Porter
The Persian Government had earnestly desired
maintenance of peace. To refute 'unfoundeil repel*" 3n
renew the assurance of its impartiality and neutralit,'
Persia declares frankly that in no case and under no
cumatances will she mix herself up with the quarre
'tweeri Russia and Turkey, although it was the duty of t '
Pefsian Government to prbtect her frontiers by.extta er
denary artnaments. In consideration of the trieedn
awl good intelligence which exist ,between the Velg
bouring governinenti, -and our Government, and the „
habitants of th se countries, and of the assurances rf:
,ceiitly given by the ambassadors .of the two countries in'
this capital, it is incontestable that the Persian Govert.
inept has on its side given strikieg proofs of its uprite,nts
ness and probity towards these two friendly a .verniP hf
and has thus refuted some statements published
s.
European journals, and shown that, by the oecufs
tion of her frontiers, Persia has no intention t0,,P,04-ra

this unlimited cinifidence and assurance which the

FRANCE.
The Bishop of Grenoble has addressed a Paatoriialn
fetter to his clergy, directing them to offer ifijo
prayers for the success of the French army in "
East. &the course of it, he says:—
" When th 9 sovereign power in Whose hands Goa 1135
placed the sword declares or accepts war, the Churl
without pretending to determine in advance the istle 0
'eventsalways uncertain, tent sure of the Divine assistatict,
which never fails her, awaits with crizifidence. It does
more; it demands of God by itsprayers to abridge th!...
days of trial, to render the trial less severe, and soon t"..
re-establish the reign of peace. It is with these thought:
that we accompany,. with our wishes and our prayers th,
brave children of France, who are going at the risk et
their lives to maintain in the East the ancient 'influence
which has been denied' to us, and which appeared for A
moment Compromised. We pray God to watch over
them, the Virgin Mary to be their protectress, and the
chief of the celestial army to march at their head.
Faithful in paying this debt of prayer, whilst they go
to pay themselves the debt of blood, we shall obtain
from the God of Armies the accomplishment of these
prophetic words : I will cause tO fly before you, those
who come from the North ; I will cause them to. perish
on the shores of the East ;? and ',Peace shall be the fruit
of justice, and the people whom I love shall enjoy the
blessings of peace ; and there shall be confidence in their
hearths, and plenty in their householdi.'"
The Moniteur says
we have before had occasion to mention the favour•

declaratarn concerted .between the Government of the
Emperor and that Or her Britannic Majesty, relative to
the
As navigation and commerce of neutrals during the war'
might have been easily foreseen, all the cabinets
will share in the sentiments on this subject which several
of them have already expressed. The cabinet of Ce;
Penhagen has testified to the French minister, the lel!:
lively satisfaction at the resolutions come to by tr
two allied powers in the interest -of neutrals. The
latigtiage of the Portuguese Government has not beau
less e;selicit. The reuly of Viscount d'Antoguia, at thcei
moment when the declaration of France and Efiglo:
was commulticated to him, was as categorical and eatte,i
factory as could l'e d, sire I. Tee Cabinet of Lisbon vvo

the wishes of the two nations. Thu declaration relat;_,v
to the commerce of neutrals is not less It

positively stated that the Cabinet of Washington (3e

and a fresh reason ,for the Powers whicc take no perd
in hostilities to adhere to 'that concert_ In' the Ue'tee
States; moreover, public opinion is more and

and at the departure of the last mail it was positive!?
