Many —aye uesiAtte of medical assistance
for weeks, and the sick of the lower classes, covered with
rags, languish in want of every necessary, longing for a
' draught of water to alleviate the heat of the fever, and see
their children dying round them for want of food. Heaven
grant relief to all this misery.
Considerable subscriptions have been raised in various
parts of the kingdom, for the relief of the distressed.

St. Poteriburgh Journals of the 30th September
have hlso been received this morning. They contain
PA report from General YERMA.LOFI of the progress of
the war on the frontiers. The Persians retain at
Erivan the Russian Ambassador and his embassy, and
have cut off all communication with them. This cer-
tainly looks like war, if any other proofs were wanting
ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 29.
His Majesty has granted the request of Prince Wol-
chonsky to be allowed not to enter on his functions as Mi-
nister of the Imperial Household till his health shall be
perfectly recovered. Prince Gallitzin acts for him in the
interim.

The last accounts received from General Yermaloff re-
move all doubts respecting the hostile intentions of the
Persian Court towards us.
The 29th Aug. (Sept. 10) Generai Yermaloff trans-
mitted the following details to the Chief of his Majesty's
Staff. The enemy occupied Elisabethpol, and a part of his
cavalry had advanced to the station of Schemschaslel,
where it had joined about 2,000 of the revolted inhabitants
and a troop of cavalry from Erivan, sent by Prince Abbas
Mirza, with Alexander Cyarcwitsch of Georgia, who had
gone over to him to excite a revolt in Cakhetia.
Major-General Prince Madatoff, who was posted on the
river Axtapha, with a detachment, crossed it during the
night, to surprise the enemy ; but on approaching at day-
break the position they had occupied, he found that they
had decamped, and perceived their columns posted on the
heights. A battalion and a few cannonlshot dislodged them,
but the General, having but few horsemen, could not fol-
low up his advantage : however the Armenians, inhabit-
ing the neighbouring villages, intercepted a body of the
fugitives. Mustapha, formerly Khan of Scherwan, who
placed himself at the head of the insurgents, supported by
the Persian cavalry, had made himself master of the vil-
lage of Axa, but had been expelled from it with loss by
General ICrabbe.

Sourkhai, formerly Khan of Kazehoumyk, sent by
Abbas Mirzs, could not penetrate into his ancient domi-
nions ; thanks to MajorpGeneral Asian Khan, who faith-
ful and devoted to Russia, has sent us his eldest son with
a reinforcement of 300 horse.

The inhabitants of Akouschine far from listening to the
perfidious insinuations of Abbas ilirza, have sent to Gene-
ral Yermoloff the proclamation, by which he excited them
to revolt. Abbas Mirza has completely failed in his at-
tempts to excite a revolt in Dagheston.
Sardar of Erivan, who expects with considerable
force the arrival of Abbas Mirza, has hitherto remained
inactive.

The Persians retain at Erivan our Ambassador, Prince
Menzikoff, and all'the persons belonging to his Embassy,
as well as those of the preceding mission, and all inter-
course with them is interrupted.
(The accounts from Moscow of 22d September contain
only particulars of fetes, theatrical representations, Arc.)

Hamburgh Papers to the 12th instant, have been
received this morning, from which the following are
extracts. The King of SAXONY has issued an order
forbidding young men to marry under the age of 21

rears :

Extract of a letter from the Agents at LLOYD'S, at
Smyrna, dated Sept. 5, 1826 :

•
His Majeity's ship Brisk gave convoy, through the Archipe-'
lago, to the Matilda, Levant, Albion, Skylark, Mercury, and
Sefton. His. Majesty's ships Cambrian, Seringapatans, and
Rose, with Marines from on board the Revenge, which remains
here with the Glasgow and Medina, sailed a few days ago, Opposed
for the purpose of looking after Pirates, although no further depre-
dations have been heard of. The Medina left on the 111 hut.,
near Samos, the •Willictminu Alfred, Thornton, and Nimble,
from Alexandria, bound to this place.
According to the last accounts, the Turkish fleet, under
the command of the Capitan padre, was in the Seio Channel,
and the Greek squadron, consisting or thirty to forty sail,
*ail, was cruising near Santos. We doubt whether the Turkish
expedition against that island will succeed, as many of the troops
are returning from the sea coast towards the interior, and the shi
commanded by p
the. Capitan Pacha is said to have pot into
Foggia leaky. There is no news of Lord Cochrane being yet
in these seas. The search for piratical goods at Thernia
has not been so successful as was expected, many appear to hews-
moved, or effectually concealed. Some tither islands have been
visited, and they have succeeded in collecting goods, to the value of

a prize is as difficult as the discoveryofthe

and as cold-hearted as an expedition to the North
