extract of a Letter, dated Tehran, March 1 :
" We have this moment received intelligence of a
victory obtained by the .Persians over the Rus-
Cans; The, Persian army was commanded by
Liglish Officers, which is no small feather in our
caps, you may test assured. The King,
-.ind indeed the whole Court, are more than
half (rad with joy. Such a victory in Europe
would he considered as a mere nothing; but here,
Nothing of the sort having ever happened before,
it is looked upon nearly as a miracle. Three hun-
dred and fifty Russians were killed, and five hun-
dred were taken prisoners. This valorous feat
'Was performed by about nine thousand Persians,
one hundred of whom bit the dust. Sir Goan
CIUSLEY has been treated, by the Kink, Knight
of the. Order of tht/Sun, and the rest of is are to
be well crammed with pillaus, sweatineats, Me-
lons, 8v!. to say nothing of getting our faces well
Washed with rose water. You will hear with
pleasure that our friend the Mirga is in high fa-
vour atCourt, and that he bas lately been created,
'through the interference of our Ambassador, a
liVestoji, a species of Secretary of State (although.
:mine class the Mastofis amongst the Viziers), by
Which he will gain wealth as well as frouours. In
proportion to his dignities, such has been the in-
el-ease of his person, which, lam happy to tell
you, is daily getting more substantial. llc
,is as
amiable as ever, and we all like hill' much. He

even speaks of his friends in Lagland, and of the
'nation, in terhis o: the most lively: gratitude sad
‘ttfeetion.—
The following is an extract of a Letter from an
.Officer of the 59th Regiment-, addressed to his fa-
ther in Waterford :

"'Near Batavia, 21stnec. 1812.
" The climate of this country is extremely tin-
Lealthv, in as far as respects the European Dtitch
end natives, who die of what is-called the Batavian
fever in great numbers;' but I have real pleasure
to stating, that, up to the date of. my letter, no
British Officer had been affected by it, and hut few
of the men. Before our arrival in the Island, the
inhabitants had no Surgeons who knew how to
treat
.patients suffering wafer. this complaint.—
Our mode of living, and other circumstances, re-
litve us from any apprebansion of danger from
it. All the Officers, who were wounded in the Expe-
dition to Batavia, have effectually recovered."
The following Petition has been %adopted in the
bounty of Armagh, and is now exposed for signa-
tmes in that city ; copies 'are also circulating
through every parish in that county :
To THE KNIGHTS, CITIZENS, AND BURGESSES OF
THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND

IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.
The humble Petition of "the Inhbitants of
the County of Armagh, professing the Pro-
testant Religion, whose names are here-
unto subscribed :
•
Sheweth, that your Petitioners have reason: to
believe, that it is in the contemplation of 'your
. Honourable House, to make further concessions
to the Roman Catholics of Ireland in addition to
those already granted to them ; that they do not
presume to dictate to your Honourable House in
-"what manner, or to what extent.those concessions
shall be made, but most humbly implore that in.
4onsidering the prayer of the Roman Catholics of
Ireland, 'your Honourable House will take care to
provide such ample safeguards and securities, for
the permanent oontinuance and unimpaired sup-
:port of our happy Consaution bylaw established,'
'as shall leave your Petitioners no cause to regret
your haVing hearkened to the prayer of their. Ca-
tholic fellow subjects.
And your Petitioners will, as in duty bound,
ever pray.

MURDER.

'a private in the Royal Artillery,
svgs „indicted for the wilful murder of Isanella
M`Gaire, a child of the age of seven years.—
The circumstances of.this case were of an exira-
: ordinary nature. 'The prisoner was servant to a
Lieutenant Webber, and bore a most exemplary
good. character in the regiment ; some things,
however, had been stolen from his master's closet,
and he was suspected of the theft. He absented
himself all the night of the 4th- of Apri, and on.
the morning of the sth, as early as between 5 and 6,
I he came back :to the bnriacks, and wakened
a per Son of the name of Je&cot, with svboin
,he had lived. After some preliminary .conversa-,
tion, he told hint he had committed a crime for
which he must he hanged, and desired to be taken
to the guard-house. Adam Little, Serjeant Ma-
jor, there receivi d hint in custody, and desiring
to speak to the Serjeant in private, lie then told
-Min that the last night he had murdered a little
girl. The Serjeant desired him to State farther
particulars. He said, that getting over a stile,
which led into a lane, he saw the child at play,
who cried when she saw him ; that be then took
the child in his arias, and, with his finger and
thumb, strangled it. As soon as it was dead he
carried it under his arm for some distance; and
laid it on some stone steps in a place he de-
scribed.
A witness was called, who found the child in
the place where the prisoner described •he had left
it ; and the Surgeon stated, that by the marks
under- the throat, the child had evidently been
strangled in the manner described by the prisoner.
The prisoner could ascribe no motive for this
.acta but told the Serjeant he had no malice
against the child, and could not tell how he came
to do it:
Mr. CURWOOD, as Counsel for the prisoner,
examined as to whether the prisoner might not
be labouring under a temporary inflammation of
the brain, from the improper use of mercurial
medicine.
The Serjeant said he knew the prisoner had
administered mercury and laudanum to himself
without medical advice, but he did not know in
what quantities.
The Loan CHIEF BARON, in summing up the
. evidence, stated, that the mere atrocity of "the act
itself must not be considered evidence of insanity,
otherwise the most guilty criminals would escape,
and here was evidence much too slight to infer any,
derangement of mind. •
The Bury found the prisoner Guilty, and he re-
ceived sentence to be executed on tue Monday.
