LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1828.

By the Paris Papers it would appear that the
French are in earnest with respect to the evacu-
ation of Spain, but that they wish to retain
possession of Cadiz and the Seu d'Urgel—that
is, they will give up those fortresses, which are of
no value to them, and keep those which are to
them of the greatest advantage both in a political'
and commercial point of view.

If we are to believe the Austrian Observer, the
Turks have obtained a complete victory over the
Greeks who besieged the Castle of Scio, by
the descent of. fifteen hundred troops from the
Squadron of TAHIR PACIIA. The Greeks
were taken so unexpectedly that they abandoned
their cannon and baggage.

A Frankfort German Join nal of the Bth inst.
in noticing the unfortuate failure of the desired
separate convention with Prussia, for a free tran-
sit by land through Holland and Germany,
laments that Antwerp is becoming a very formi-
dable rival to Amsterdam in commercial pursuits,
and that, consequeitly, the expence incurred in
digging a large canal to the north is in a great
measure thrown away by the superior natural ad-
vantages of Antwerp as a seaport :

AMSTERDAM, MARCH 26.

The so ardently desired separate convention with Prussia
for a free transit by land through Holland and Germany,
the conclusion of which was so near that it was considered
as already terminated, has unhappily not been brought
about. The law adopted yesterday in the Second Chamber
of the States General for an entire entrepot, in fact, a
free port in all maritime towns which can show that
they have warehouses, suitable for the purpose,
excites great hopes for Amsterdam in particular, because
the greatest exertions are making here to surpass all the
other sea ports in the erection of spacious and convenient
warehouses. The immense capitals which here lie idle,
(discount is at IN per cent., and any sum may be had),
facilitate the greatest undertakings, the object of which is
to re-animate the drooping commerce of this place, once
the queen of the commercial cities of the Netherlands, and
to check the gigantic strides of the commerce of Antwerp
.....the most formidable rival of Amsterdam, and therefore
looked upon with a jealous eye. But what will it avail us
to have expended many millions in
,digging the north
canal, which was calculated to bring to Amsterdam ships
requiring 24 or 25 feet water, but which, on account of
the nature of the soil, mild not be made more than 17
feet deep, while Antwerp is favoured by nature with a
river which admits ships of any burthen into the basin in
the middle of the city ; a river which, even in the severest
winter, is frozen only for a few days, and at Flushing, at
the mouth of the Schelde, never freezes ; where a mariner
from the remotest parts of the world may depend on being
able to enter, which he never can be in our port.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Bth instant,
has been received this morning, and contains an
article from Augsburgh, highly honourable to the
patriotic as well as humane feelings of Count CA PO
D'lsTit lA, who has ordered a list of the widows
and orphans of those brave men slain during the
war of Independence to be drawn up, in order
that suitable provision may be made for _them.
This will operate as a just reward to the merito-
rious, and incite others to exert themselves for
their country by the assurance that in case of
death their families will be taken under the pro-
tection of the nation. The President seems to
be acting with proper severity against the pirates,
four of whom have been condemned and ex-
ecuted :

AUGSBURG, APRIL 7.

The Prussian Sta►e Gazette has the following particu-
lars from Syra and Tino. Demetrius Ypsilanti has been
commissioned by the President to have an accurate list

drawn up of the Greek widows and orphans, whose hus-
bands and fathers have died fur their country, as they are
to receive support from the public. Ile has left four
officers at Napoli, who are commissioned to prepare three
houses for himself and his suite, during his stay there, which
is calculated to be for three days only. On his solemn
entry at Egina, he was received at the beach by
the Archbishops and the inferior clergy, the civil
authorities, and about two hundred children splendidly
dressed, bearing olive••bi :niches, who accompanied him to
the church, where Te Deum was sung. The President
did not sit on the throne prepared for him, but stood
during the whole ceremony. Ile took and kissed the na-
tional flag, which was presented to him as he entered
the church, and kept in his right hand the wreath of
olive which was presented to him at the same time. A
patriotic discourse, delivered by Theophilus Kaire, caused a
great sensation, because the manifold corruptions which
have hitherto impeded the political reformation of Greece,
were disclosed in it----and even the traitors, some of whom
were present in the church, were pointed out by name.—
The President has caused several persons, formerly in
office, who were accused of peculation, to be arrested.
The proceedings against them have already commenced.—
By his orders, also, four Ipsariot pirates were arrested : they
have been condemned and hanged.

The Journal gf St. Petersburgh of the 29th
March contains a Rescript addressed by the
Emperor NICHOLAS to the Governor General
of the Capital, on the happy termination of the
war with Persia. We may infer from the im-
portance attached to the continuance of the con-
test by the rejoicing evinced at its termination.
The Russians have come off not only victorious,
hut have acquired a large accession of territory,
while the expences of the war have been amply
paid them. The ENIPEIZOR says that the
" treaty guarantees to Russia a new and secure
frontier, besides a complete indemnity for all its
losses ; it acquires an increase of territory by
the union of its dominions of the Khanats
of Erivan and Nakhitchevan, which will hence-
forth bear the name of the province of Ar-
menia." This, we think is a- complete answer
to those who assert that Russia is large enough,
and wants no cession of territory :
EXTRAORDINARY SUPPLEMENT.

ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 21.

Yesterday, the 26th, Counsellor Griboyedoff arrived
here with the treaty concluded and signed with Persia the
22d of Februaryi at Tourkmantchoi. A salute of 201
guns, fired from the ramparts of the citadel, announced
to the public this happy event, brought about by glorious
exploits, and by a negotiation fruitful in results equally
brilliant.

To-day a solemn Te Deum has been performed in the
winter palace.
How many motives are there,' in fact, to render thanks
to the Almighty for the issue of a war crowned• by a glo-
rious peace, the conditions of which repair all the losses
caused by an unforeseen aggression, and prevent the return
of it.

The addition which the Russian territory obtains by
this treaty, offers all desirable security for the maintenance
of our pacific relations with the Persian Government.

We shall shortly be able to communicate to the public all
the clauses of this important treaty.

VF.TERSBIJRCII, MARCH 28.
Rescript of his Majesty the Emperor to the Governor-'
General of St. Petersburgh :
The treaty of perpetual peace between Russia and Persia
was concluded and signed at Tourkmantchoi on the 22d
of February last. This treaty guarantees to Russia a new
and secure frontier, besides a complete indemnity for all its
losses ; it acquires an increase of territory by the union to
its &minions of the Khanats of Erivan and Nakhitclievan,
which will henceforth bear the name of the Province' of
Armenia. Thus this war, caused by' an unexpeeted'inva
sion, has been terminated by a peace equally advantageous
and glorious.

Thanking God, who always protects the good cause, and
who has crowned our arms with new glory, we hasten to
acquaint you with this happy event, persuaded that our
faithful subjects will join their thanksgivings to those which
we offer to the Almighty.

The Treaty of Peace will soon be made public by a spe-
cial manifesto.-1 remain, &c. NICHOLAS.

The Prussian Stale Gazette of the 9th inst.
says, that Russia had increased her demands on
Persia in consequence of the infraction of the
Treaty of Peace :

BERLIN, APRIL 8.

The Prussian State Gazette of this date, after giving
under the head of St. Petersburgh, 29th March, the sup-
plement and the rescript of the Emperor, adds :—" As far
as the stipulations of the defensive treaty of peace are yet
known, the indemnity to be paid by the Schah is in-
creased, on account of the breach of the negociations which
were already concluded, to 80' millions of rubles, and Rus-
sia obtains 'besides the two above mentioned provinces of
Erivan and Nakhitchevan, the main chain of Mount Ara-
rat, with its rich salt mines.
A grand entertainment was given yesterday at Court in
honour of this happy event, to which 300 persons were
invited.

Besides the elevation of General Paskewitsch to the
dignity of Count of Erivan, his Majesty has granted a
silver medal to all the officers and soldiers employed in this
war.

Dutch Papers have been received to the 12th
instant, but they contain no news of importance.

The following extract of a letter, from Buenos
Ayres, shews the nature of the blockade which
that port is subject to from the Brazilian fleet in
the River Plate, and that the same is only in
name, and not at all effective :

BUENOS-AIRES, JAN. 6.--Arrived the American
brig Sarah, from Falmouth (England) with a cargo of
China goods. She did net see the blockading squadron.
At II a.m., the latter came in sight, and anchored to the
eastward, hull clown.
ELSINORE, APRIL s.—By advises from Memel, of the
