PERSIA.

(From the Bombay Courier of April 20.)
By the Emily schooner we have received the following inte-
resting intelligence from Bushire ;
" Bushire, Ist April, 1841.
" I am happy to inform you that the negotiations which have
been pending during the last month have at length been
brought to issue. Despatches have been received at Bushire
from Teheran, stating that Dr. Riach had been ordered to the
frontiers of Gorian to stop the advance of the Persian army,
who were on their march to Herat, the Shah of Persia having
issued orders for the withdrawal of his troops, in consequence
of the English Government having consented to give up and
evacuate Karrack. The Residency was to be immediately re-
moved again to Bushire, and the Resident was on his arrival
there to meet certain authorities for the pacific settlement of
the Persian question. The Shah of Persia .had openly ex-
pressed a wish to renew a friendly intercourse with the British
Government, and amicably settle the matters of the late dis-
pute. Gorian is in future to be governed by Shah Kamran.
Our Correspondent adds that just at present the country is in
a most distracted state, the petty chiefs waging war with each
other, but says that on the removal of the advanced army the
country will be quieted."
The above is copied from an Armenian letter, and we
have every reason to believe in its correctness. The only
thing that staggers us in our belief. is that part of the letter
which states that Karrack is to be evacuated after all the
sums of money and valuable lives which it has cost to main-
tain it.

We have received letters from Karrack by the Emily to
the 12th of March, at which time the H. C. sloop of war
Coote, with the Commodore, and other ships had returned
from a political trip down the coast. He had fired into some
of the Arab piratical forts and done them much damage.
The Rev. F. Spring and lady had proceeded in the little Emily
to Bagdad for the benefit of their health. Captain Elder,
of Ist Bombay European Regiment, and Dr. Mackenzie,
residency surgeon, had taken their departure for England
via 13agdad, on sick certificates: only two medical officers
remained for duty, and, by some chance or other, medicine
was very scarce, and a fresh supply much needed. The 16th
Regiment N. I. have about sixty men in hospital, but no
bad cases ; the Ist Bombay European Regiment had only
eight men in hospital. However, the soldiers' wives and chil-
dren were very unhealthy, and kept the surgeon fully employed.
The weather was becoming oppressively hot. The detachmen
of the Ist Europeans which left Bombay in September, 1838
321 strong, has now only 182 remaining of the number, and
great hopes are entertained of a relief before the next hot
weather. Lieutenant Woodhouse had gone on leave to Bagdad,
and Ensign Evans to Bussorah. Three officers on the sick list.
The field engineer very hard at work building a Commissariat
Godown near the fort. The following appointments have
been made : —CTtain Lechmere to Lave charge of the Trea-
sure Chest, vice Elder, proceeded to Europe ; Lieutenant Jopp
to be Assistant to the Resident, and Dr. Behan to be Staff
and Residency Surgeon. No vegetables to be had in the Gul
this year except what came from Bombay. A few potatoes,
however, had been planted, and are now in blossom. The Re-
sident is much the same as ever. Mr. Dunlop, Col. Schuler,
and Capt. Reid, Bengal Cavalry, were at Karrack; they are
to proceed to Bombay in the Emily. Some French gentle-
men hive been here, but the Colonel requested them to leave
as soon as convenient; it is believed they are also to go to
Bombay in the Emily. No news of any moment from Persia
—at least the peopld at Karrack know nothing.
