PARIS, SUNDAY.

The Persian Ambassador was received yester-

presented his credentials.
The Persian Ambassador addressed his Majesty
as follows :
"Sire,—The friendly relations which have so
long existed between France and Persia, having
been again strengthened by a recent circumstance,
I have been charged by order of his Majesty the
very powerful Chahinchah de l'lran, my august
Sovereign and benefactor, to convey to your Im-
perial Majesty the compliments and congratulations
of my Sovereign. It is a happiness for me that
my mission has taken place at a period when
France is loaded with so iany of the blessings of
Heaven. In the first place, the glorious accession
of your Imperial Majesty to the throne of France ;
next, sire, the birth of his Imperial Highness the
heir to your throne, an event which is a guarantee
for the duration of the dynasty of your Majesty,
and a subject of joy for all Frenchmen and for all
friends of France ; and, afterwards, the conclusion
of peace between the allied powers and Russia
in this same capital of France; lastly, sire, I come
to France after the conclusion of a treaty between
Persia and the powerful empire of France—a fact
which has always been the object of the hopes and
wishes of the two states, an object to which all the
efforts of the governments and the sovereigns of
the two countries tended, which is now attained,
with the asistance of God, conformably with the
desires of the august Sovereigns of France and of
the Iran."
The Emperor made the following reply :
" Monsieur l'Anabassadeur' —I am happy that
your Sovereign has charged you to bring me his
congratulations. When the war broke ont in the

East I sought with pleasure to renew our former
relations with Persia, and her neutrality was not
useless to us. I now congratulate myself upon the
treaty of commerce concluded between our two
countries, as commercial relations firmly established
always cement the friendship of nations.
" It is with regret that I heard of the war
which has broken out between you and one of my
most intimate allies, but I make most ardent wishes
that your mission to this portion of the globe may
hasten the return of a lasting peace.
" I thank you for the flattering things you have
said to me for France and for the Prince
and I beg of you to believe in my full sentiments
of benevolence towards you."
The Ambassador handed to the Emperor the
Royal order of Persia, and presents for the Empress
and the Prince Imperial."

roseate tint to their nails and eyebrows.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Consti-
tutionnel describes as follows a new ministry insti-
tuted by the Emperor Alexander, with the view
of introducing improvements into the agriculture
of Russia :—" This ministerial department will be
charged with the task of ascertaining the actual
state of cultivation in the provinces, and the means
best calculated to vanquish the obstacles in the
way of agriculture ; it will also decide on the ad-
visability of making pecuniary advances to farmers
to effect improvements. The ministry will liktwise
be charged with the establishment of model farms,
agricultural societies, and popular libraries for the
dissemination of practical farming ideas, with the
purchase of new agricultural instruments, &e."

tated, the Austrian cabinet has not lost sight of the
affair of the domains of Holstein Lauenbourg.
Count Bile], before his departure for Milan, had a
conference with Count de Bille Brahe, the Danish
ambassador, on the subject. The result of this
conversation does not appear to have been very
satisfactory, fqr we learn from good authority that
immediately after instructions were sent to Count
de Itechberg at Frankfort, which lead to the belief
that a communication will shortly be made to the
Diet on the subject by the Austrian ambassador."
