Yesterday Dutch Pipers to the 13th inst, were re-
ceived. ..
They (c) not contain any ft:: ther parzicti&ais
tesiAiL3ir;2tiic "ri-caty.said to have been, sighed be-
tweet) France and 4ustria. The'-intelligence .frOrri
Paris in these Papers is not of so We -a dateas" the
la.;t French Papers which reached town. One of the
2irtieles'intntiong a report that- a truce for twenty
year's had been conCluded bt;tWeen France and

Austria, but it apFers too itnprobable to deseive

any credit.

It-has been stated in some of the Papers,, that the
French shipi in. the Charehte had repaired ..the da7
rmge which they had sustained in the late attack,..
and that they were ready for sea. We are happy to
have: it irr our .power to give this, statement the most
unqualified contradiction, hot a single French vessel
has made its appearance, except a frigate now lying
iii Ilasque Roads.

Th Snake Packet has .arrived. at Fdimouth from
the Brazils. ripgs 'a report that a Revolution
had taken place at Buenos Ayres, that the People had

We informed the public on Friday.last, that in-
telligence had just arrived of thel conclusion of a
treaty of peace between this country,"and Persia, and
of the eitinction of the French interest at the per-
ilan Court.

An account has been given 'of the cir-
cumstances attending this aveeable event, but they
are of so extraordinary a kind, that we naturally

feel donilts of their authenticity)" lic'mcier precise and
accurate they may appear. iThe account we Ando
to states, that Sir' IiARFORD JONES', chprged with. a
. -
o,llsion trona this country to theC Ilia of Persia, had

arrived at Borhby in Aril 1809, but that Lord
Marv.. had previously sent General Maccocm to
that Court for the same purpose,--that Sir liaa-
FORD waited the issue of the General's mission some
time at Bombay, but was afterwards sent by Lord

MINTo himself, who, in a letter to Sir HARFORD,
pointed—ouLthe.erroneous• system upon which the
General had a&ed, expressing the conviction that
the.latter.w.ould be obliged to leave ,Persia, and de-
siring Sir HARFORD'.tO' proceed' and use his own
di,cretion. It is further stated, that Sir BAR-,
FORD had various difficulties .to encounter; first,
from another letter from Lord MINT°, requiring
him to retire from the Pet sian territories, wherever
this letter might reach him, and informing him,
that General MALCOLM Was coming up the Gulph
with a body of troops to seize- the Island of Karack ;
afterwards frorri 'a letter from the General, specify_
ing the day when he intended to leave Bombay, and
finally from. an order from Lord MtriTo„ divesting
Sr; HARFORD his public chara&er, and declaring
that his bills would be refused in India, and those
paid charged to his own -account., The Persian
King, however, Would not suffer Sir HAavottn to,
depart, .but. ad nered'to,,the treaty, and had dispatch-
ed a pers!..?n to the British Government, with a for-.
mal complaint against the ISOvernment in India,
who, with Mr.•MoaTrzn, the -Private Secretary of
. Sir :HA :ro ,o, has arriVed in town.
