LONDON,
VEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1826.

We received the French Papers of Sunday, and the
Etoile dated Monday, but their contents are unusually
destitute of political interest. The Etoile contains
the Russian declaration of war against Persia, which
we gave yesterday. An article from Odessa says that
the Persian irruption into Russia was urged by the
Divan, but that the aggressors will pay dearly for their
temerity. An idle story is told at, Constantinople that
Lord COCHRANE had written to the Buitselim of
Smyrna, demanding a contribution of 300,000 piastres,
and threatening, in case of refusal, to burn the city.
It appears that « young Astyanax, the hope of
France," has been emancipated from the lullabies of the
nursery, and handed over to the care of his future pre-
ceptors, who are to make him, according to the poetical
climax of the Journal des Debats—‘, a man—a
Frenchman—a Bourbon—a King !" and it may be—
e blockhead.
The health of TA LHA seems to be declining to its
last stage. The Archbishop of PARIS has been unre-
mitting in his visits, but the Actor is resolved to die
without his help, and the Prelate has only the consols
ion of expressing his mortification at such ungracious

reception.
By accounts from Vienna it would appear that the
PORTE had accepted only the most delectable articles
of Russian ultimatum, and rejected those most
standardtsoo
difficult of digestion. But this ultimatum has beolne
in

Papers
to the 12th instant have hien I:re-
ceived this morning. They contain an Order of the
Day, issued by General YERNIALOFF to his army, 01
the aggression of the Persians. This document im-
putes, as a matter of course, all the blame to the Per-
sians ; and the General speaks to his myrmidons in the
usual martial strain of unbounded praise for what they
have done, and incites them on to fresh glory by g
glowing promise of brilliant achievements, and 41
more honoured laurels.
A laudable Society has been lately formed at Russel‘
dorff, under the sanction of the KING, for the ptorge
of ameliorating the condition of Westphalian prisoners
with respect to the cultivation of their morals while
prison, and after their restoration to liberty. Put we
fear that it will happen, in ninety-nine cases out of ef
hundred, with prisoners branded with the ignominy °
a gaol, as with birds in a cage—they have been toed
so much as never to be able again to mingle With the
free inhabitants of the air, who shun them with tni
stinctive aversion—and the liberated captive of g3.°11
may haunt the scenes of his former life, but he
we
from illy
find the countenance of society averted
d from guilt,
sence, and his character, though exonerate
still tarnished with suspicion.
