We e Wive," says one of these letters, " an army
of 30,000 men, 20,000 of whom are completely
equipped, and the remaining. t 0,000 are armed, but

pable of taking the field are for the most part armed

The accounts received from the western side of
India, by the 'recent arrival troth that coast, state
the continuance' of tranquility, and acki that Sir
HAWED JONES, Ont Ambassador to FATAL! SCHAC,
Sovereign of Persia, bad been most cordially tretit-
, ed at that Court. No circumstance would tend more
to disconcert the projects of BuoNAPARTE in the East
than such a reception of our Minister at Seheraz.
Miss qawaßD..—.This Lady who has long been dis-
tinguished in the literary world, died on Saturday
last at Litchfield. She was the daughter of Dr.
SEWA Hi) who belonged to the Cathedral in that place.
Ile was a man of great learning, and a very
estimable chara6ter. Miss SEWARD first diplayed her

poetical powers to the public in a tribute to the
memory of the unfortuuate Major ANDRO, whose
fate was the subject of universal regret in this
Country. it was atterWards understood that this

Poetical tribute ,to the memory -of that amiable and
accomplished Officer, was not well received by his ta-
lk telly; why; we know not, as It was marked by the
stron6ent math-nooks of respect and admiration for
his Worth and talt:nti. Miss SEWARD has since
exerted her powers upon numberless occasions, and
has certainly displayed' a considerable . share of
poetical merit, in her various produCtioris„ though
there is an air of study and constraint through the
whole, str if, they, were produced by labour rather
than by genius. She had been very hand-
some in her youth, but an accident in early
life had rendered her lame. Her character was
verz amiable in private life, and her death will be
regretted by a numerous circle of literary friends.—
.., It ought to be said to her honour that she had' no
jealousy of rival talents, but was always ready to pay
due homage to contemporary merit.
ADDlSolt.—The daughter of this great ornament
of literature, by Lady WARsAICE., died but a few
years ago, and left five hundred pounda for the pur-
pose of raising a monument to. his memory. Lord
BRADFORD, who is one of her executors, and a de-
scendant of Lady WARwICK's family, anxious that
due honour should be paid to the memory of such a
distinguished Poet, such a pure met alit, and such an
enlightened supporter of Chriitianity,allotted the task
to Itilr. W aSTMACOTT, adding five hunderd pounds to
the bequest. This ingenious artist has made a fine
statue of ADD; son, which is placed in Poet's Corner,
Westminster 'Abbey, and which will soon be open-
ed for public inspection.

4)3d year of his age, Mr. .1011 N PALMER, SOO of the
late Mr. 1).41.14E11,th° Ador, of Drury-lane Theatre.
Mr. 3. PaLossa was well known to the public as
one of the eitabytsited Performers of Mr. COLMAN'S
Theatre. He by no means inherited the talents of
father, who certainlythd not leave his equal, as a
'general Ador, on the London Stage, but he evi-
dently displayed marks of Improvement every sea-
. son, and would doubtless have become a very useful
Performer. He possessed. literary talents, which
