be contemplated by the Emperor of Russia on the
establishment of peace, bag already commenced.
Orders
have been given to complete the junction
of the Russian system of railways with those of

PERSIA.

ERAta, oum, Jan. 16.--Letters of a recent date
from Per sia state that Dost Mahommed is now
close upon Herat. The Shah has mustered an
army to :meet the invader.
Selim Pasha is playing a peculiar game here,
sending away all Europeans in the Turkish service
who mig :lit act as a check upon his conduct. He
has just ordered Hussein Bey—a Hungarian, high
up in the medical department—off to Constanti-
nople, on the plea that it would be irregular to
keep him. at Erzereum, as he belonged to the gar-
rison at S ars. The true reason is, that Hussein has
a leaning 'towards the English.
Winter has set in, and there is very little to be
done just now. Every one hopes to see General
Williams back at his old post by next spring.
I must repeat the opinion I expressed once be-
feco, says the correspondent of the Times. If
Sel jan Pacha be left to his own devices Erzeroum
cant lot but fall in case ofan attack-. The fellow is
too t ilick-headed even for a puppet. He ought to
be ch a aged for a man of more ability, if possible ;
if not, at least for one more tractable.
The ;main body of the Russians have retired
from "iKtzs, taking all the guns with them. The
road to, eGumri is represente as being quite open,
despite Vie snow.

SHE MEDI'

Mims tiLLES, Feb. 13.—Shot, shill, and other
materiel de guerre continue to arrive from the
Crimea. These, with supplies received from the
interior b'y railway, form an arsenal such as it is
declared Marseilles never before possessed. The
French stoa mer Jacquard arrived here on Sunday.
She brought 100 Russian eanuou, 1,800 bomb-shells,
and 260 soldiers. Typhus fever declared itself
among the troops during the passage, and two of
them died i u the harbour.

Tho Briti sl i sailing transport Lady Suffolk, of
1,300 tons, ,?.liartered by the French Government,
arrived on AV londay. She was laden with shot,
shell, and can non unfit for further service.
Private lettA)rs received from Algiers, of the 10th
inst., announce that there has been some severe
fighting bet Nye en the Imperial troops and the.
Kabyles. Th e insurgents were defeated on every
point, but the insurrection is not yet suppressed.
It is at present confined to the mountains of the
Beni-Raten, wlhe.re it broke out, and where it con-
tinues to be as violent as over.

'FRIDAY EVEN 1N G. FEBRUARY 15, 185 6.
Prussi:4, with t he utmost speed, and a great deal is
to bo efl`eoted . before the end of the present year.
The Marcivii' 3 de Moustier, the French Ambassa-
sador, will. probably be back here next week.
His arrival . is anxiously looked for to throw light
on the fut., are position of Prussia with regard to the
Conferen c:es. The report, that some fresh impedi-
ment haC l arisen to the appointment by the Pope
of the :Ronan Catholic Bishops in Poland, is
unfounded.. The delay that has taken place is
merely w} iat is necessary according to past usage
and the f arms of the Papacy.
