LETTER FROM BERLIN.
(FRIVATE CORRESFONDENCr.%)
We impatiently expect the confirmation of the
peace between Russia and Persia, whieli has been
announced by several Journals. It is, undoubtedly,
the interest of a great European Power that the
peace should not be too unfavourable to the Court
of Teheran. This Power, whose interest might be
endangered, if the war in that part of Asia were to be
protracted, will not fail to set its agents to work,
in order that Russia may not reap all the advantages
which are insured to it by the great superiority of a
numerous and well-disciplined ,army over undis-
ciplined bands, which are more calculated to plun-
der than to fight. Whatever he the consequences
of this war, we have learnt from a superior officer,
in the service of the Emperor Nicholas, that that
Sovereign has manifested his firm resolution not to
listen to any proposals till he has obtained, as the
basis of the negotiation, Erivan, and the line of the
Araxa, as the boundary of the Russian Empire.—
Alexander gave up this position by the Treaty of
Gulistan in 1803, only because more important in-
terests drew his attention to the affairs of Europe.
Thus, this war, which began with an unexpected
provocation, and under auspices at first not very
favourable to Russia, cannot fail to procure great
advantages to that empire, by extending the com-
mercial intercourse already subsisting between Tiflis,
Persia, and India, and by the acquisition of a
country adapted to the cultivation of all the produc-
tions of hot climates.

PARIS, APRIL I3,—A letter from Odessa of a
recent date, says, that the Russian army of Bessa-
rabia, which, since the ratification of the treaty of
Akerman, had withdrawn its advanced posts from
the Prlth, has just placed them there again. The
reason of this measure may be easily guessed, when
it is known that partial insurrections have broken
out in several parts of the Principalities. This
letter adds, that it is not believed at Odessa that
the Russians will permit the Ottoman troops, with-
drawn to the other side of the Danube,to repass that
river, if they should attempt it even to restore order.

It is said that Austria will have on foot two ar-
mies of Observation, of 60,000 men each, one of
which will be placed in Italy, the other in Transyl-
vania. Several regiments have already set out from
Bohemia for Italy, where the army will be com-
manded by Generals Rousseau, Trap, and Leopart,
who have just been promoted to the rank of Lieu-
tenants-General. It is thought that the army in
Transylvania is to support Russia, in case the Porte
refuses the pacification of Greece.

It is said that the Empress of Austria is to be
crowned next month, at Prague, as Queen of Bo-
hemia. In case of the death of her Imperial Con-
sort, she will enjoy the revenues attached to the
rank of Queen Dowager of Austria.

The King of Sardinia has issued an ordinance, by
virtue of which his Catholic Piedmontese subjects,
who die without having received the sacrament,
shall not be buried except in the night, and in un-
consecrated ground. By the same ordinance, the
burial of every Piedmontese Protestant shall take
place without any public ceremony, and no more
than twelve individuals of the same religion shall at-
tend it.

PARIS, APRIL 13.—Yesterday, in the evening,
the President of the Council of Ministers, and the
Baron de Dainas, Minister of Foreign Affairs, trans-
acted business; with the King.
While M. D'Ofalia is negotiating, in the name
of King Ferdinand, the evacuation of Portugal by
the English troops, Spain is every day assuming a
more warlike attitude. A numerous army supports,
on the frontiers of Portugal, the notes which the
Spanish diplomatist draws up at Paris. It is not
easy to predict the issue of this negotiation ; but
hitherto every thing leads us to suppose that Spain,
thanks to the energy she displays, will obtain the sa-
tisfaction which she has the courage to demand with
arms in her hand.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
MADRID, APRIL 2.—The city of Malaga has all
but been the theatre of a popular commotion which
might have had troublesome results. The facts
are as follow :

The Presidio: (places for confuting galley slaves)
of Malaga contain at this moment more than four
thousand galley slaves. As they have had no rai-
ment given them for the last four years, the greater
number of them were in a most indecent state of
nudity; they were lodged in stables, heaped one
upon another, and frequently in want even of the
coarse food which Government allows them. A con-
tagious fever, which is called in Spain carcelera
(gaol-fever—typhus), which had attacked some of
them, began to spread, and caused the death of a
great many of these miserable beings. The autho-
rities and people of Malaga began to dread its be-
coming epidemic; they sent an express to Madrid
to demand from the Ministry succour for these
slaves. The Ministry, with their usual slowness,
put off to another time the consideration of this
business ; but the people of Malaga meanwhile
began to assemble in the streets, and their intention
was to set the galley slaves at liberty. The In-
tendant of Grenada, informed of this, came post im-
mediately to Malaga, assembled the principal mer-
chants of the cit-, and prevailed on them to assess
themselves, for the purpose of advancing to Govern-
ment the funds necessary for clothing and nourish-
ing the slaves. This assessment was made, and
each galley slave received a shirt end a pair of
trousers of linen. While this was going on, Go-
vernment sent orders to the Military Intendant of
Malaga to reimburse, by partial payments, the mer-
chants of the city. Two thousand slaves were taken
from the Presidio:, and sent to the public works,
and by this means the people of Malaga have been
restored to order.

PERPIGNAs, APRIL 7.—The bands which hays
been formed on the Segre menace Seu d'Urgel; the
post which that garrison had established at -Marti-
net, has been obliged to withdraw, and two hundred
men from the garrison of Mont-Louis, have set out
to reinforce those of Seu.

A proclamation has been made in the corregi-
miento of Fignerea, stating, that all individuals of
*hat state soever they may be, who shall be taken
with arms in their hands, shall be shot immediately.
The proclamation has produced a great sensation,,
and the number of those who give up their arms,
daily augments. The Governor of Gerona has de-
