EtTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
November 8, IFM,.

[TII E TIMES.]
'We have received from a respectable quarter
some interesting particulars relative to the rup-
ture between the Prince Royal of Persia and the
Porte. The Pachas of the Turkish province of
Azzarroon being accustomed to annoy the Per-
sian pilgrims, merchants, and travellers, Abbas
Mina,, Prince Royal of Persia, frequently re-
monstrated against these outrages, by missions
to Constantinople, representing the conduct of
the Turkish Governors to the Ottoman Court-
Fair promises were made to investigate the com-
plaints, and though the Pachas of Azzarroon
were frequently changed, similar excesses were
repeated. When the Persian stud-tints arrived at
Constantinople, on their re.urn to Tabriz from
-England, the Grand Seignor and his Vizir
furnished them !with passports, to protect their
books, instruments, medicines, and the other con-
tents of their baggage, from impost or search;
yet on their reaching Azzarroon, the passports
were disregarded, their baggage was ransacked,
and contributions were attempted to be exacted
by, way of ditty. On another occasion, when the
Schah of. .Persia sent two of his wives, accom-
panied by several of the female nobility of Persia,
on a pilgrimage to Mecca, their persons were in-
decently searched at Azzarroon, and they were in
-other respects insulted, with the sanction of the
Pacha., The Prince Royal dispatched. Aka
Mustapha to Constantinople to-complain of this
violation ; but the Pacha detained him in his
way, at .Azzarroon, for four months, and then
sent him back to Tabriz with excuses and pro:
mites of amendment, which were never realized.
Soon afterwards Sadick, who was formerly Pacha
of Bagdad, being killed by his successor, Sadick's
son fled to Tabriz -and invoked the Prince to
assist him with an army against Bagdad, to
avenge the murder of 11:s father. This the Prince
declined, but undertook to obtain redress for him
from the Porte, and accordingly set one of his
own servants to accompany Sadick to Constanti-
nople, who bore a Rakhum from the Prince
Royal to the Grand Seignor. The Pasha of
Azzarroan_intercepted them, tore the Prince's
Rakhtun to_pleces, cut off Sadick's head, and sent
back the Prince Royal's servant to Persia on foot.
Finding from these repeated instances of insult,
that remonstrance was unavailing, the Prince
Royal determined to retaliate upon the Pacha of
Azzarroon. Of this intention he sent notice to
• the Ottoman Porte, and dispatched an army, in
the summer of 1821, into the Turkish province
of Wan, on the eastern banks of the Euphrates,
inhabited by a race'of Christians. The Persians
attacked and took possession of the town and
fort of Byzled, a public station in the central
road from the city of Tabriz and Koc, a Persian
post, to Azzarroon and Constantinople. In the
winter the Kayem Makom, wishing to prevent a
renewal of hostilities, sent a messenger to the
Paella of Azzarroon, and proposed to mediate be-
-t ween him and the Prince of Persia. The messenger
returned'with an assurance that a person should be
sent to Persia to make peace. After a lapse of
four months, during which time the Kayem Ma-
, kom prevailed on the Prince to suspend hostili-
ties, intelligence was received that an army of
10,000 men was collected in Azzarroon, and that
large preparation was making for a renewal of
the war. At the same time Hoz.tett Khan, the
King's 'Sirdar, or Governor of Erivan, the capital
of Armenia, sent advices that the Turkish troops
were on the eve of ,commencing an attack in that
quarter, and urged the Prince to secure the
boundary and cut them oil' from Armenia. The
Prince accordingly instructed the Sirdar to ad-
vance from Erivan and attack the troops on their
way from Azzarroon, and they succeeded in tak-
ing possession of the town of Korse, a frontier
military station of the Turks near. Armenia, smd
lying between Erivan and Azzarroon ; but .the
fort itself remained in possession of the Turks
when the last accounts came away.

[MORNING TOST.]

A report, originating, no doubt, in the state-
ments which lately appeared in the French
Papers, prevailed yesterday afternoon, " that the
Congress at Verona had suddenly broken up,
and that the Duke of Wellington was on his way
back to this country." A letter from Dover an-
nounces this intelligence, and the Kentish Herald
of yesterday contains the following article on the
subject :—" By a private letter received last
" night, at this Office, we are informed, on
" authority on which we can rely,. that the Con-
" gress at Verona has suddenly broken up, and
" that the illustrious Duke of Wellington is on
" his way to England !"=We have only to
state that no such information has been officially
received.
