Persia.

Mehemet Bey, who served in the war of insur-
rection in Hung: tr y, has set out for Oircassia,
where he has bet in invited to act as Generalis-

simo.

Great agitation prevails in the Caucasus, and
preparations are i; a progress against a Russian in-
vasion, which is sr &id to be imminent.

A telegraphic (le spatch received in Vienna yes-
terday, announces. the death, at Jassy, of Theo-
dore Balsa, Kai's akan of Moldavia, which touk
place on Sunday, the Ist instant, at one o'clock
p.m.

The Paris corvonpondent of the Morning Post
Second Edition), in his letter, dated yesterday,

says: --

"The bases of a. treaty between Persia and Eng-
land are not yet si ;Tied. Hostilities are suspended,
but there is no re ,g ular armistice agreed upon. No
representations ba ye been or will be made at
Teheran by frienday Powers until the
_bases of the
treaty are signed.?'

A telegraphic clespatch from Vienna announces
that, on the 22d :February, the Moldavian troops
occupied and garlisoned the towns of Bolgrad,
Ismail, and Reni., surrendered by the Russians in
pursuance of th© !Treaty of Paris. The same des-
patch mentions -Co at the Russians were expected
to take possession ofKomrat, and the new territory
on the Upper Yalpuk, some time between the 25th
of February and 6.he Ist of March, at which period
the boundary would be defined.

A French letter from Constantinople, of the 20th
ult., contains the following passages :
"I complete the information I hive already given
as to the movements of the English vessels in the
Bosphorus. The steam frigata Desperate leaves for
England, the Magician for the Pacific, and the
Sphinx for Galatz to convey the English Consul to
Odtssa.

" The Trebizonde boat, arrived on Tuesday last,
brings news from Teheran to the 14th of January.
Private letters announce that Ali-Kruli-Mirza
Khan, commanding-in-chief the first corps operat-
ing in the East, has taken 'possession of Can-
dahar, and that Sultan Murad Mirza has
entered Cabul. The plan of campaign is General
Bubler's. The Shah has conferred on him a
decoration only given to persons of the greatest
distinction. General Buhler is busily engaged in
erecting fortifications everywhere, and which rise
as if by enchantment. The movement of troops
and of convoys of ammunition is continual. Some
chiefs of Affghanistan and Cebul are said to have
offered their services to the Shah. Notwithstand-
ing the capture of Bender Bushire much confidence
prevails at Teheran, and the Persian Government
seems decided to carry on the war with vigour."

It would appear from a report presented to the
Russian Government by the Governor-General of
Russian Siberia, that since the attack on Canton by
the British Admiral the trade between Russia and
China by land, and by Kiakhta, has considerably
increased. The commercial relations between
Russia and China, it adds, will become every day
more intimate as long as the war continues.

not heard of much damage being done to the crops.
The appearance of the country is described as splen-
did, and the grass in some parts .is said to be so
high c.s to resemble fields of waving corn. A letter
from Wolve Kraal, of the 17th inst., rays—' We
have had in this part of the country, for the last
month, scarcely one fine day for reaping ; abun
dance of rain has fallen, the fields looking beauti-
ful, and the standing crops promise a good
harvest.' "
