It will be seen, by our extracts from the French
Papers, that the Marquis DL BARBACENA,
Chamberlain of the Emperor of BRAZIL, is to
marry, as proxy for his Imperial Master, a young
Princess of the Royal House of Sardinia. The
dismissal of the Marchioness DE SANTOS from
the situation of first lady of the palace of the
Emperor, is a preliminary condition of this
marriage contract.

We received last night Washington and New
York Papers to the 18th of December inclusive.
They are chiefly filled with reports of the Trea-
sury, the Aar, and the Naval Departments, which
run to an extraordinary length. Nothing of in-
terest had occurred in Congress.

The news of the destruction of the Turkish
Fleet at Navarin had given general satisfaction at
New York.

The Reports of tie War Department, the
Navy Department, and the Treasury, would more
than fill our Paper.

Frankfort Papers of the 4th inst. were received
this morning, from which we give the following
interesting account of the interview between the
Persian Prince ABBAS MIRZA and the Russian
General BENKENDORF, at the head-quarters of
the latter.

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1828.

As yet nothing . further has • transpired with
respect to the forinat* of a New .Adnainistra-
tion, nor is the country satisfied why the existing
Ministry should not 'elect a chief among them-
selves, worthy of his MAJESTY'S confidence
and the support of the country. We have
uniformly advocated the principles of Mr.

We perceive by the last paragraph of the ar-
ticle, that the mountains of Curdistan are vi-
,sible from the Russian camp. We fear the
result of the Persian war will excite a strong
desire in the troops to cross that barrier to the
softer climate and delights of the Eastern
world :

CANNING'S Government, because they were
founded upon enlightened and liberal views
of policy; the Government of Lord GoDErticit
acted upon those principles because they were
best adapted to the wants of the country—why

CT. PITEASBURGW, DEC. 20.
The Northern Bee contains a letter from Tessudschi,
on the banks of lake Urmio, dated the 17th of November,
of whick the following is an extract :-4‘ While I was in
General Benkendorf 's detachment, I was witness to one of
the most remarkable events of our times—the arrival of
Prince Abbas Mirza, in the Russian camp. General
Benkendorf was commissioned first to receive Abbas Mirza,
and then to show him the Russian troops on parade. The
first reception took place at some wersts beyond Schewes-
ter, in a large plain near lake Urmio. The Persian Prince,
who was previously informed of the movements of the de-
tachment of General Benkendorf, came to meet us, accom-
panied only by Fet Ali Khan, two foreign officers, (who
had come from Teheran to join him) and two equer-
ries. General Benkendorf detached a division of dragoons,
under Count Tolstoi, to escort the Prince. Abbas Mirea
rode along the line, saluted the soldiers in Russian, aurl
when the General approached him, said, "I am very
happy that you, General, who were the first that drew the
sword against me this year, are also the first to come
to meet me on the eve of pence." He then said,
with dignity—" Much time 'is required to form
a nation to war; we are but beginners; you too have had
your apprenticeship before you attained the degree of abi-
lity which you now possess. However it be we shall
henceforth live at peace. Yet," added he "is it
not strange that I should come to you as a visitor in this
country ?"

then should not the Government be reconstruc-
ted upon the same basis, filling up its number with
men of congenial spirit ? If this should unhappily
not prove the case, the nation will have renewed
cause to deplore the loss of Mr. CANNING, and
more reason to lament that Lord GODERICH
should have become his successor. With
profound respect for the amiable charac-
ter of his Lordship, we question whether

he should have accepted a responsibility
of which he felt himself incapable. It is one
thing to fill the duties of an ordinary office, and
another to superintend—to wield—to direct—or
it may even be, to controul the energies of va-
rious minds in separate departments. But there
are men in the Ministry who possess such
minds—men whose talent is as undoubted
as their honour is unimpeachable. If a change
of Government take place, we trust, it will not
be of such a character as to plunge the country into
that state from which the enlightened policy
of Mr. CANNING'S Government has so tri-
umphantly and so beneficially extricated her
commerce—trade and manufactures. An Ultra
Tory Government would entail ruin and dis-
grace upon the country, but the thing
is impossible,— it is against the spirit of
the times,—contrary t• the best interests, the
wishes of the people. But should an exclu-
sive Government take place—can they avoid re-
trenchment, to which tl►e Parliament is pledged ?
They cannot back out of the question of
Greek Independence, because the Treaty ®f the
6th July was originally suggested during part
of their own administration. The system of Free
Trade cannot now bewholly repealed without entail-
ing redoubled misery upon our commerce, by para-
lysing the enterprise of mercantile speculation.
But there are other questions of equal impor-
tance which would be affected by the re-adoption
of the former policy—and these we leave ~.at
present, sincerely hoping that we may have no
cause to lament their disarrangement.
Since writing the above, we understand, that
nothing has yet been settled. At two o'clock,
the Marquess WELLESLEY visited the Marquess
LANSDOWNE at tl►e Rome Office.

Abbas Mires requested General Benkendcrf to show him
the troops, which were drawn up in a line along the road,
at the distance of half a werst from the place of meeting.
He also begged the General to introduce him to the persons
of his suite. The Cossacks were at the head of the de-
tachment, and the Prince desired to be introduced to their
commander, Colonel Schamechew, saluting him and all
the Cossacks. He said—" Those I suppose are your best
ea►alry." He was much struck at the Bight of the infan-
try; on seeing the knapsacks he said, shaking his head.
" How can these people march with such a load, it is
almost as heavy as the whole baggage of one of our
horsemen." The artillery particularly excited his at-
tention and curiosity. He rode along the front in
order to examine the cannons, never failing to greet our
soldiers, who cheerfully returned his salutation. A crowd
of people from the neighbouring ♦illage thronged about
our line ; there were about 300 Persian horsemen on the
other side of the road under the command of his son, a fins
lad of about fifteen. The Persian warriors had a gloomy
look, and the feeling of mortified self love was painted on
their countenances. Abbas Mime preserved his apparent
gaiety during the whole time that he remained with us.
He begged the General to let e. Russian battalion file off
before him. Before leaving us he expressed his wish to see
the Emperor of Russia and the Imperial family. He said
that he hoped peace would soon be concluded ; that be,
would do his utmost to effect it. Lastly, he added, that
he would write to the General, and that he hoped soon to
see him in Russia.

Abbas Mirea, after having taken leave of us in the most
affable manner, sent Fet Ali Khan to ask the General for
a list of all person, who were with him, and to repeat the
assurance of his regard.
I have given you literally the words of Abbas Mirza, but
it is impossible to describe the nobleness of his manners, or
the grace and affability which he unites with the dig-
nity of a Sovereign ; the animation:of his countenance and
the unaffected smile which scarcely permits any trace of
care to be visible; his features arc perfectly regular, his
eyes large, lively, and penetrating, and his teeth fine ; his
complexion is brown and pale, his hair and long beard
very black, and his costume was very simple, only his
dagger was ornamented with valuable jewels. His horse,
the finest I ever saw, had very rich harness's, plated with
solid gold. The Prince is between 40 and 50 years of
age, in a word he is one of those extraordinary persons who
make an indelible impression on those:who have seen him.
It is a pity that he is surrounded with persons whose minds
and understandings are not sufficiently elevated to second
his views. All foreigners in Persia agree in doing

The weather is extremely fine. We are on the banks
of a lake which resembles a sea, being 148 werias is

We are treated even better than we were in Germany

A case occurred yesterday at the New Court►
Old Bailey, which exhibited the humanity of Mr.
Serjeant ARABIN in a sad light. A prisoner
was accused of stealing two seals, and acquitted
by the Jury. The Learned Judge, however,
thought it a pity to let so good an opportuniti
escape without giving the prisoner a sample 01
Old Bailey advice—which is generally the most
unprofitable of any, as few are ever able to is/tt
advantage of it. The prisoner received a good
character, and could probably dispense with the
admonitions of the Learned Sergeant • but 11;°
innocence was no protection,—he was again
called up to hear the hacknied tale. The mo'
nitor had scarcely proceeded, when he gave the.
prisoner a pretty broad hint of, the mercies io
store for him had he been found guilty, and
then addressed him thus :—" If you had beet
convicted, you would have been transported,
for robberies, committed in the way in which
you did this, are becoming--"
