NEWS FROM PERSIA.

The accounts from Persia, inserted in a preceding
number, have informed the public of the just reasons
which decided General Paskewitsch to break off the nego-
ciations with the Persian Government, and bo recommence
hostilities. According to later information received here
on the Bth instant, the military operations have been re-
sumed with vigour at several points, and, notwithstanding
the extraordinary severity of the season, had already been
remarkably successful. Major General Pankratieff, ap-
pointed to act on the right, with the detachment under his
command, had occupied, ou the 27th January, and without
any resistance, the town of Ourmia, which is surrounded
with ditches and walls. This town, one of the most con-
siderable in the province of Adzerbidjan, is situated in such
a manner as to afford great resources for the supply of the
army. On the other side, Lieut.-General Count Snclitelen
had advanced on the left, with the intention of taking pos-
session of the fortress of Ardebil. scarcely had the
General appeared before the walls of that place, the
strongest in Adzerbidjan, when the Persian Governor
opened the gates to our troops on the 7th of February.
The surrender of this town is of the greatest importance
in every respect, and has besides put uv in possession of
pretty considerable magazines ; it was the residence of two
Princes, sons of Abbas Mimi, who have desired to remain
there under the protection of our troops. In general the
inhabitants, far from opposing their progress, have evely
where received them with demonstrations of joy.

Even before the news of these successes could reach Te-
heran, and as soon as they were informed there of the rup-
ture of the conferences, and the renewal of hostilities, the
Shah, much alarmed at the new dangers which threatened
him, thought only of averting them by all the means in
his power. He hastened to send a direct communication
to General Paskewitsch, to assure him of his pacific inten-
tions, and to announce the immediate- remittance of the
sums destined to form the pecuniary indemnity justly de-
manded by Russia, and the half of which had already arrived
at Miana. At the same time he invited Abbas Mirza to has-
ten on his side the conclusion of the treaty, giving him the ne-
cessary full powers. In consequence of these urgent over.
tures, Gen. Paskewitsch was preparing, at the departure of
the courier, to fix the place where the Plenii,otentiaries
should again meet, to finish the salutary work which had
been checked by the effects of a policy, the danger of which
the Persian Government seemed at length to be sensible of.
In fact, still later accounts inform us, that General Paske-
witsch had left Tauris with his head-quarters on the 10th
February, to proceed to Miami, where Prince Abbas
Mirza was expected on the 11th February.

The Florence Gazelle contains the following news
dated Corfu, WI. 16., which seems to require confirma-
tion :—" The Paella of Egypt has agreed to set at liberty
the Greek slaves of both sexes, lately brought from Nava-
rin to Alexandria, in order to facilitate the return of Ibra-
him and his troops to Egypt."

The Fremch Papers of Tuesday, and the Ga-
zette de France of Wednesday, contain no ad-
ditional news from the East, or from the proba-
ble theatre of war. Their information from Por-
tugal is not so late as what has been received
direct from our Ambassador—and yet they pro-
fess to believe that DonGuEL means to ad-
here to his oath of acting according to the
Constitutional Charter. This alone is sufficient
to impeach their v:racity, We would not be,
lieve Don MIGUEL were he to swear by all the
Saints in the Calendar. He is bent on
absolute power, aid may soon have good
cause to repent his too easy obedience to
the delusive instructions of his mother. Let
him once declare his purpose, and be may find
more obstructions to, its complete accomplish-
ment than either himself or his untractable
mother ever dreamt of.

The French Papers say that the English Am-
bassador having received positive instructions,
the English troops have left Lisbon ; three regi-
ments have sailed for the Mediterranean—the
first for Gibraltar, the second for Malta, the
third for Corfu. There remain only two ships
of the line in the Tagus, a►id 300 men in the
Fort efiSt. Julien, to protect the English mer-
chants who may conceive apprehensions for their
persons or their property.

Dutch Papers to the 25th, and Brussels to
the 27th, have been received, from which we
make the following extract respecting the pro-
gress of events in the North
BERLIN, MARCH 17.—1 t is affirmed that news has
been received. from St. Petersburgh that the Russian Im-
perial Guard had received orders to be in readiness to
march.

Private letters, rece►ved at the Hague from Berl►n, say
that the Russian Army was to cross the Froth on the I Gal
of March (new style), and that the Emperor Nicholas will
go to the Army with all his Guards, except the Cuirassiers•
It is further stated, that the Persian Emperor has now sig-

nified his williugness to sign the peace : but it is said tha•
this news requires confirmation.

It is worthy of notice at this moment, that, by order o:
the Russian Emperor, a monument is to be erected a:
Warsaw, in honour of John Scbriesky, King of Poland;
the brave conqueror of the Turks and the deliverer of
Vienna. It seems that this measure is intended stil
more to inflame the zeal of the Polish nation, which is al•
ready animated by a very hostile feeling towards the Turks.

what diminished. Our cotemporary somahne
since made up his mind, that though the Duke
had nominally resigned the Command, he had,
in fact, reserved all the Patronage of the Army,
in the distribution of which Lord HILL was to
act merely as a locum towns, subordinate, or
deputy.
It is very clear that such an underhand ar-
rangement would have reflected little credit on
either of the contracting parties, and was rendered
highly improbable, by the manly and independent
character of the gallant and noble individuals in
qtiestion. That the Duke must ever retain a
personal influence over his former companions
in arms, is as certain as that no one, however
exalted, need scruple to act under this great man
—but the influence of office, whatever it is,
should always be recognised and avowed. Lord
HILL might have made no sacrifice of dignity
in openly acting as second in command to the
Duke, at the Horse Guards, any more than in
the Peninsula ; but it would have been deroga-
tory to his high character,' had he lent himself to
a plan whereby his Grace was virtually to retain,
as Premier, what a justifiable and Constitutional
jealousy declared incompatible with the security
and happiness of the state.
It is therefore with unfeigned pleasure, that
we observe the confirmation of our own •
hopes, and the candid confession of our co-
temporarv—that he had been mistaken in his
view of the subject. The air of the Horse
Guards is very infectious, but the present gentle-
ness of manner, and perfect want of assumption,
on the part of Lord HILL, are as consistent
with moral courage and proud independence of
character—as with that personal bravery and
gallant bearing, for which the Noble Lord was
so eminently conspicuous " on the blood red
fields of Spain.

Tuesday's London Gazette announces the appoint-
ment of our sincerely esteemed Lieut.-Governor'
Major.-General Sir James Lyon, K.C.B. to the
Government of the Island of Barbadoes. The
highly acceptable way in which Sir James has,
during his command here, united the duties of the
good soldier with a due regard to the equally im-
portant duties of a praiseworthy citizen, will be best
shown by the subjoined resolution of the Mayor and
Magistrates, agreed upon at the Council Chamber,
on Tuesday last :
At a Meeting of the Mayor and Magistrates of the
Borough of Portsmouth, at the Council Chamber on
Tuesday, the 18th day of March, 1828.
Resolved unanimously,—That during the period the ap-
pointment of Lieut.-Governor of Portsmouth has been
held by Major-General Sir James Lyon, the Magistrates of
this Borough have, in the execution of their various duties,
uniformly received &oin him, on every occasion requiring
it, the most considerate attention : and whenever the in-
terests of justice or of the inhabitants have been concerned,
the most prompt and effectual support.
That by the good understanding which has thus happily
subsisted between the Civil and Military Authorities of the
town, and the readiness of the Lieut.-Governor at all
times to adopt measures, either for the prevention or the
redress of any irregularity or grievance, the peace and good
order of the Borough have been materially promoted.
That, as a testimonial of the sentiments Ly which the
Magistrates are impressed, and of the high respect enter-
tained by them for Sir James Lyon, personally, the cordial
thanks and acknowledgments of the Mayor and Magistrates
be communicated to him ; and that the General be reques-
ted to accept the same, and to receive, not only the as-
surance of their unfeigned regret at his removal, but of
the lively interest they must ever continue to feel in his
welfare.

feelingsstlh°aut T llfo' request eFqdruei eedspateyr; yon to accept and to
mouth my most sincere and heartfelt acknowledgments for
the flattering, and I must add, unexpected honour conferred
upon me, by the Resolutions passed in your Council Cham-
ber on the IBth instant.
During the time that I have had the good fortune to hold
the appointment of Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, I
have considered it my first duty, and assuredly it has been
my anxious care, to meet the wishes of the Magistrates of
this Borough, and, as far as might he in Inv power,
generally to secure the peace and tranquillity of the inha-
bitants.
But if, as has been so kindly, but perhaps too partially
expressed, I have succeeded in my endeavours, I must
gratefully acknowledge that it must be attributed to the
marked attention and to the ready support which the Civil
Authorities have afforded me, upon every occasion when it
has become my duty to refer to them upon any subject
connected with the Troops entrusted to my charge.
In truth, Sir, therefore, it is to the kind consideration
which the Magistrates have ever shown me, that I owe a
reward than which few can be more flattering to a soldier ;
and whilst I beg through you to convey to them the feel-
ings of pride and gratitude with which I receive it, I am
anxious further to assure you, that wherever the duties of
my profession may hereafter call me, I shall ever feel deeply
interested in the welfare of the Civil Authorities, and the
inhabitants of Portsmouth.
I formed your acquaintance with pleasure, and believe
me I quit you with very sincere regret.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
JAMES LYON, Major-General.

MEMEL, MARCH 15.--The strong thaw this
week has yet made very little impression on the ice. Our
harbour remains fast to the entrance, and to-day there is
hardly any clear water to be seen to the southward. Yes-
terday nineteen sail appeared off the harbour; to-day sight
of them are beset in the ice, and may be in an awkward
situation should it begin to blow. The following were
boarded yesterday,.and have got pilots henry, u

By the French Papers received thislinorning,
we learn from a private letter, dated Madrid, ;March 13,
that the great embarrassment of the Treasury has given
serious alarm, and measures must be taken to relieve it
from that unfortunate situation. Persons who pretend to
be well informed, assure us that M. ESTOFANI, Director-
General of the Lottery, has set off for Paris, with permis-
sion to sign a loan with a house in London, i❑ the payment
of which he is to accept a proportion, in a certain time
given, of the Cortes, at the price of 251. to 35!. for
every Bond of 100/. ESTOFA NI, who is at present at
Paris, no doubt secretes the object of his journey.
