u Beloved Monarch—Thy sacred present, the sword of
Aiextinder L, our adored father, and thy gracious letter,
till of unexarnpled goodness, have been received by the
Army of the Don with the respect due to them. The joy
of the warriors of the Don on this occasion is not to: be
Oosetilted. Amidst the sentiments 'which animate us, we
eau oily exclaim,' The Emperor is great, and his great-
ness has no bounds !' The children of the Don, brought,
up in love and fidelity to the Throne, know how to appre-
ciate thy gratious presents, though their language is too
feeble to express what they feel. Thou makest us drink
at the source of thy great goodness : we shall transmit the
remembrance of it from generation to generation, and in
our most remote posterity the hearts of thy children will
be transported with joy at the view of the inestimable
present with which thou hest honoured the Army of the
Don. This sacred sword gives to the warriors of the Don
fresh Vigour against the enemies of thy throne. The news
of the favour thou bast conferred'on us has been spread in
the remotest countries, and strangers cantle to us to see the
property of one great monarch, and the present of another.
Our ancient warriors; who have grown grey in battle, \ -
netising thy kindness to the Army of the Don, bless, with
profound emotion, Divine Providence, which has given us
its anointed after his own heart. ur voices address to
the King of kings this prayer :
Lord, protect the Prince; treat him according to
thy heart, and fulfil his designs ; continue to shed thy grace
upon us ; we will proclaim thy. glory to our posterity.
`‘ It is with these sentiments that the army of the Don
throws itself at thy feet, in the person of its Chief, who
eeteems it its the highest happiness to be, Sire, your Ma-
jesty's most bumble and most faithful
" ILOWAISICT,
" Ilettman of the Army of the Don."

(From the Journal des liebni4 of Aug, 26.)
The Congress of Johannisberg, tvhich has been so friol-
isfily contradicted on the faith of the Adrian Observer,
has commenced its sittings. Its first ostensible object is
the arrangemeot of the differences relative to the navigit-
tion of the Rhine. The following is a list of the Ministers
already arrived :—Count,Bernsdorff, Prussian Minister of
Foreign Affairs; Prince Hatzfeld, Prussian Ambassador at
Vienna;
.Count de Carman, French Ambassador at Vi-
smut; Baron Tatischeff, Russian Ambassador at Vienna;
Baronßerstett, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Baden ; Bs-
rori'Munch-fiellinghausen, Austrian Minister, President of
the
,Oermanie Diet; M. de Lerehenfeld, Minister of Ba-
vttria; Baron d'Otteratedt, Prussian Envoy to the Swisit
Confederation; and several other State Ministers of the
surrounding countries, such as Nessau, Darmstadt, &c.
Sir Charles Stuart appears to be also expected, but very
likely not upon business relative to the Rhine. Until this
rriometti, the suite of the Prince Metternich is only corn-
pout! of the Aulic Counsellor, Count de Mercy, the Ba-
ron de. Port, Counsellor to the Chancery of State, the
Baron Sieber, and this Chevalier Nieuvalds, Secretaries
to the Cliancery of State. But if the of Portugal,
eome to,he discussed, the Ueutzes and the So.:ltlegels would
lisiatn,to rho spot.
Morier, British Cansul.General at Paris,and Coni-
misiary relative to the liquidation of British claims, left
thiS capital yesterday for London, whither he is, it is said,
going for the purpose of consulting Mr. Canning on ter-'
titin points on which he is at .variance with the French
Commissaries,' and which, it, is, supposed, will be termi-
nated ,through diplomatic negotiations' between the two
Governments. Mr. Metier is to return to Paris with Mr.
Canning, who is shortly expected here.; apartments have
already been prepared for him at the hotel of the British
Ambassador,.

Two Captains of merchant vessels, who have „arrived
IVltnseilles, have made the following deelarations
Captain Lars Swedmoo, commanding the Swedish brig
Chartotic, which left Alexandria, in Egypt, on the 7th of
June, declared that he fell in, on the 10th of August, with
a division of five golettas;. that, he observed on hoard the
vessel, where he .was ordered. to go and show his papers,
that the crew wore the Turkish dress. They asked him
if he had not seen some Roman, Spanish, or other ves-
sels ? and after these questions, which be answered sada-
factorily, they sent him away. Captain B. A. Reboyer,
of the brig Cesar, • coining from Constantinople, declared
that the squadron of the Capitan Pacha had quitted the
Dardanelles on the 13th of July ; and that on. the 12th of
August, being at about twenty leagues south of the flyer-
can lslands, he fell ist with four armed Algerine vessels;
that the Commander sent for him tm board, examined his
papers, and told him he (the Algerine) was cruising after
Greek vessels.

'LISBON, AUG. 14.—The Spanish Government has re-
turned a satisfactory answer, and such as ought to have
been expected, to the note which had been addressed to
it on the subject of Our rebel armies. The. Spanish Ca-
binet has, it is stated, availed, itself of the opportunity to
express to our Government its serious apprehensions rela-
nye to movements which it seems to dread in no annul de-
gree, similar to those that have liven occasion to our
complaints. The uneasiness evinced by the Spanish Go-
vernment has no foundation. The important preparations
relative to the election of the represeotatives of the nation
are carried on with great activity., All elastics of citizens
appear to take the most patriotic interest in them. The
different Ministers are busy in preparing the memoirs
which are to be submitted to the approaching assembling
of the Cortes, relative to the different branches of their
administratiow. s

'The Aremorioi-Bordebtis gives the following intelligence
froni Gibraltar, under the 3d August :
The General commanding at that place received orders
from the English Government to bold ready for embarka-
tion a part of the troops which had been assembled there
as a eorpx de resi.,ive,, :mil that. on the 'A August the Co-
/ossus had arrived mid took on 1n fifteen hundred men
of the gllaLdl, Wi(li %Amin she made sail for Lisbon.

A Correspondent infottna ti 4 that a party of yonng
Englishmen, 01 highly. respectable connexAous, have
just emolled themselves in the Greek servico), u„det.
the auspices of Captain Campbell,' the friend of Lord
Cochrane. The motives of these young volunteers are
of the most generous and animating kind. Thdr
number is at present small ; between 200 and 300
ofThrs of enlistment have bee» made ; hilt c,,ptain
Campbell exercises his discretionary power within curl
limits as will render the (,feel commissions lionoirra-
ble. The virrunissiOns to which Captain Campbell
has made the recent appointments are in the marine
and navy, and arc mostly Lieutenancies: and in all his
engagements of this nature he is said to have the sane-
tion and concurrence of the Greek Committee. As
in the iegular British service, these young officers have
Pucchasetl their outfit at their own expellee, and they
are even to pay their passage to some port in the Me-
diterranean. The» imilbrin is handsome, little differ-
ing, except in the huts m, from that of the Britiih navy
and Marine. 'I ho vessel in whnli they are expected
soon to s,OI, is now lying in the, river "'haws, Her
first destitiation will probably be Malta, where the offi-
cer will firm iwouctiom from Lord Cochrane.
