CIR.CASSIA.

Reliable advices have been received from Tiflis,
the Russian seat of Government in the Caucasus,
that Schamyl still holds 11 out of the 12 block-
houses which he took from the Russians at the be-
ginning of the month of June. General Aghalir
besiegedthe blockhouse Ciokalesi for a fortnight, but
his troops were attacked one dark night by a strong
detachment of mountaineers under the command of
the Naib (Lieutenant or Stadtholder), Hadji Aukar
and completely routed. The Naib took nine guns
and 200 prisoners. General Aghalar was severely
wounded. Another Russian detachment, which
had been sent to besiege d'Arli (Darli was at-
tacked in the rear by Daniel Sultan (Schamyl's
principal Naib), and defeated. The Tschetschenz.a
male 400 prisoners. The successes of Schamyl
have created an unpleasant sensation at Tiflis, and
20,000 tro _T3 of the line are about to be sent
as a reinforcement to the Russian army of opera-
tion. It is said that the Governor-General intends
to take the command of the next expedition against
Schamyl.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING,.
The French squadron has sailed from the coa&
of Corsica to Tunis. The measures taken by the
Bey of Tunis against the 'authors of the late out-
rages are considered insufficient, and other guaran-
tees have been demanded.

French vessels of war einple3ed either for fighting
or for the conveyance of troops in the Baltic and
the Black Sea, and the officers ant crews ot which
vessels are entitled to receive the English medals
awarded for the said services.

The yacht of the Queen of England; the Victoria
and Albert, left Havre yesterday with the morning
tide for Portsmouth. She is to return, it is
affirmed, t3wards ,ha.end of qeptqmber, having on
board Prince Albert and sdald.of the young princes
on their way to visit the Camp at Chalons.
The Debuts contains the following reflections on
the hesi•ation displayel by the Persian Govern-
ment in evacuating Herat :
" From the opinion of persons who are acquainted
with the enterprising and audacious ebaracter ot the
Serdar Murad Mit za it is not impossible that this prince
has absolutely refused to obey the Persian Government,
and to evacuate Herat. It is not surprising that the
Serdar should see in the present state of India and in
embarrassments of England an encouragement to his
ambitious proj cts. In the event of the Persian Go-
vernment, whose good faith and hearty goodwill we do
not suspect, being unable to overcome the obstinacy of
Hurad Ali,za a tre,h conflict would doubtless arise be
tween England and Persia after the pacification of India.
It is the interest of the Persian Government to avoid
that dangerous Extremity by giving satisfaction to
England that by compelling Prince Murad to
evacuate Herat without di-18Y."
The Constitulionnel concludes a summary of In-
dian intelligence with the following pa.,,saga :
" Although the Englisfr are in a very difficult position
they have confidence in their energy and resources ; and
should they be even compelled to reconquer a great part
of India, and to re-astablish their authority on a fresh
basis, it is not doubtful they will rise superior to the
crisi.. The events taking place in India are of immense
importance in a financial as in a political point of view,
and we easily conceive the impatience with which all the
ciminereial cities of Eur,pe await iotelligeueo from Ca!-
cutta and Bombay. Not only the interests of England,
hut also thOse of Europa, are at stako before the walls of
Delhi."
