We have received this forenoon the St. Peters-
burgh Journal of the 23d instant. It is not a little
curious that these papers are entirely silent with regard
to the differences with Persia, which are not even al-
luded to. The political situation of the Empire seems
to be forgotten in the masquerades, fetes, and reviews,
which crowd upon each other in succession at Moscow :

ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 8.

his Majesty the Emperor has addressed an Ukase to
the Senate, announcing that he has thought fit to create
a Ministerial Department for the management of all affairs
of the Court, with those of the Department of the Ap-
panages and the Cabinet, under the title of Ministry of
the Imperial Court. Prince Wolchinsky is appointed
Minister of the Imperial Court, and his Majesty has signed
an ordinance for this new department, by which the Mini-
ster is declared the head of all the dependencies of the
Court, and of the direction of the theatres, and at the
same time Minister of the Appanages and Director of the
Cabinet. He is immediately under the Emperor, to whom
alone he owes an account of his administration : no other
department has a right to require any account of him, or
to give him any orders on the subject of his administration.
The. Ladies of General Oppermann and of General
Salcreineky, Governor of Finland, have received the
little Cross of the Order of St. Catherine. _

The extra-post whi;chad been established between St.
Petersburgh and Taganrog is suppressed by his Majesty's
orders.

MOSCOW, SEPT. 17.
On the 14th there was a Grand Court Masquerade at
the Petrowsky theatre, which was honoured with the pre-
sence of their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, the
Grand Duke Michael and the Grand Duchess Helena, and
of Prince Charles of Prussia. Their Majesties, who were
impatiently expected, entered the theatre at half past
eight, and remained till eleven, having supped in one of
the Saloons. Nothing can be imagined more brilliant than
this fete, at which there were above 5000 persons of the
Nobility and the principal Merchants of the Empire, many
of whom, had come from the most distant provinces to en-
4,°Y, on this memorable occasion, the pleasure of seeing the
-Emperor and his august family. The rich national costume
of the ladies, the splendid embroidery of their head dresses,
their Le pearl necklaces, and veils embroidered with
fold, contrasted with the military and civil uniforms, with
lirge cloaks thrown over them, gave an air of origi-
nality to this fete which seemed to combine the beauty
and the magnificence of Europe and Asia. On the
ISth, at eight in the morning, there was a grand
review in the plain of Chodyne of the detachment
of the Guard of Moscow, and the let Division of
Grenadiers. The Emperor was present at this review, as
well as their Majesties the Empresses. At four o'clock
there was a splendid entertainment given by the merchants
of Moscow to all the' Generals, the Officers of the Guard,
end superior Officers of the army. His Majesty was
pleased to be present at this entertainment, to which the
foreign Ambassadors and Ministers of the Diplomatic Body
were also invited.

ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 22.

The Grand Dttke Constantine passed on the 7th through
Orcha, on 'his way to Warsaw. His Imperial Highness
wait in perfect health-

HANOVER, lIPPT. 30.
The Duke and Ducheia of Cambridge have returned
from Berlin, by way of Brunawiek.

Hamburgh Papers of the 4th inst. have also come
to hand this morning.
The fires which lately devastated Sweden and threat-
ened the destruction of Stockholm itself, originated in
the indiscreet burning of brushwood, in clearing some
waste land ; the proprietor of which has been con-
demned to pay the amount of the damage sustained
from the consequences of his carelessness. The fol-
lowing arc extracts :

STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 22.

It is now known that the wife of Capt. V. Reichenbach,
owner of the estate of Sagtorp, gave orders, during his ab-
sence, to burn the brushwood on the estate, for the pur-
pose of obtaining land for corn ; and this operation having
heco carelessly performed, caused the great fires in the
woods in our neighbourhood, which even threatened the
1-°Pital itself. Lieut. Von Pettersene, proprietor of Estavih,
has brought an action against Capt. V. Reichenbach and
Ts wife, and they hare been condemned to pay 31,290
n z-dollars banco damages, and also to make good to the
treasury the expence of sending and maintaining troops to
way
the fire. All their property is sequestrated, by
way of security for the payment.

COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 26.
Asa proof of the extent to which the trade in bones is
I;ilrrierl in Denmark, it is stated by one of our Journals,
at Mr. Born, a merchant at Corsoea, had, in the years
824.
fr, and 26, sent away 50 cargoes. It is affirmed
o "ma trade in bones annually brings into the kingdom
m 150,000 to 200,000 rix-dollars.

We subjoin extracts from the Dutch Papers of the 6th
instant, which have reached town this forenoon. It
seems now to be considered that the calamitous explo-
sion at Ostend was the intentional work 'of some
wicked person.

A new organization of the Austrian army is men-
tioned as likely to take place, with the view of k
eep-
ing the regiments in constant veadiness for service.
Has this measure any connection with the intended
occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia by Russia ?

lIAARLIM, OCT. 6.
Accounts from Batavia of the 19th of June, announced
that a detachment of the Netherland troops, commanded
by Colonel Cochin", had proceeded by Djocjocarta, to the
'Craton Piero, in which the insurgents had fortified them-
selves, and where, on a forraer occasion, it had not been
thought advisable to attack them. It was, however, taken,
on the 9th of June. The Netherland troops consisted of
two columns of infantry, under Major Elout and La Bron ;
a division of cavalry, on() of artillery, a reserve, under
Koelman, and about 3000 natives from the surround-
ing Dews. AU the apprqachss to the Kraton having been
occupied, an attempt w as made to blow up the walls,
which having succeeded„ the scaling ladders were employed,
And after a long engagorment, our troops made themselves
masters of the fort. Our loss consisted of eight killed,
among whom was Lieutenant Krustenburg, and 46
wounded. The loss ,sf the enemy was not less than 400
killed, a number ,df wounded, 40 prisoners, several
standards, and soma cannon. Both the Netherland and
y
"vents, troops deserve the greatest praise for their beha-
viour on the occasi,on.
Accounts from Groningen of Oct. '2, say that though
the number of des,ths have decreased, that of the sick con-

thine; to encrease. In Friesland the disorder was still
unabated. In the Lemmer, &c. not one house was free.
It is calculated that ten times as many persons die as in
ordinary times.
