We publish the following from authority. Letters
have been received from Dr. Wolff, dated Bokhara,
June 27 and August 1. Their contents exhibit thf
same magnanimous self•devotion, but they stand in
melancholy contrast with those idle reports which
have appeared lately in the papers, and which, what-
ever may be the motives of those who employ them-
selves in originating them, can answer no other end
than mystifying and misleading the public on this
very grave affair.
In his letter of the 27th, the Rev. Doctor says, "
have now been already two months in this place, and,
though five or six times the King has promised tc
send me instantly to England with one of his ambas-
sadors, lam in the greatest danger. I cannot sti:
out of the house without a guard of three men. Di'
Kassa Khan, the fellow sent with me by the Assofi
Addaula, has shamefully robbed, deceived, and out-
raged me. The Persian Ambassador, Abbas Kolle
Khan, is kind to me, but I think he will not have it
in his power to rescue me. Nayeb Abdool Samet
Khan has extorted from me a writing to pay him five
thousand tomans to effect my liberation. I suspect
him that he was the cause of Stoddart's and Conolly's
death, in spite of his continued protestations of
friendship.
" The Ameer is now at Samarcand, and I am here
awaiting the most fatal orders from the King daily to
reach me. It is true that poor Stoddart professed
openly Christianity after he had made a forced pro-
fession of Mahommedanism. Do for me what you
can, as far as the honour of England is not compro-
mised. All the inhabitants wish that either Russia
or England would take the country. Do not believe
any former reports of my speedy departure, for I am
in great danger.

" JOSEPH IVOLFF."
" TO ALL TILE MONARCHS OF EUROPE.

Bokhara, Aug. 1, 1844.

" Sires! I set out for Bokh to ransom the
lives of two officers, Stoddart and Conolly, but both
of them were murdered many months previous to my
departure, and I do not know whether or not this
blood of mine shall be spilt. Ido not supplicate for
my own safety ; but, Monarchs ! two hundred thou-
sand Persian slaves, many of them people of high
talent, sigh in the kingdom of Bokhara ! Endeavour
to affect their liberation, and I shall rejoice in the
grave that my blood has been the cause of the ransom
of so many human beings ! lam too much agitated,
and watched, besides, to be able to write more.

" JOSEPH WOLFF."

THE WE AT [LEL—During the week, although
little rain has fallen, we have been visited with storms of
wind such as we have seldom experienced. On the
nights of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last it blew
a perfect hurricane from the south and south-west ; this
was accompanied by such extreme darkness as must have
made travelling on all the roads very hazardous. We
have not as yet received any intelligence from the prin-
cipal shipping ports, but we fear that there must have
been many disasters at sea.--Carlisle Patriot.
