sidents has been appointed at St. Peters burgh, to
draw up regulations for a general mourning.
The Russian Amlnmador at Stockholm re.
ceived the news of the death of the Emperor of
ausNia on the 16th. The King and the Crowo
Prince of Sweden were' deeply affected by il.
The friendship (say, the accounts) which united
the King with the late Emperor, and the impor-
tant consequences which have flowed from their
union, particularly contributed to enhance his
Majesty's grief.

FRENCH LMIINS81( TO 131:1t6I A.,.--The Viscount.
DEfiIIASSY us de RICIICNIONT reached Tanris in
the month of May, and was there received with
distinction by the Hereditary .Prince of Persia.—
On the !-'2d of J one he set out for Teheran, where
he arrived on the 17th. On this route the land
gradually rises till the traveller reaches the mono.
tains of Tcharaf and Catlanguer, the summits of
which are covered nith perpetual snow. The
part passed over by the French Ambassador
and his suite was seven hundred toises from
the level of the sea. On arriving at Te..
heron, M. de liichernont was received ill
apli ft mews prepared for Irian at the house
of Ahoul iia san Khan, lately Ambassador in

rerernotty, bearing with him a letter from Charles
X.:to Fait y Ali Sloth. The Shah received him
sitting on a throne, covered with jewels. The

another the Scimitar, n third the Shield, and
fourth the Sceptre...oo the shield was an emerald

and • the Ambassador was reronducted home
with the same pomp with which he had been
,introduced. The Shah coeferred en M. De

his journey front Teheran for trpuham, whence
he meant to proceed to the Persian Gulf and
