effect of silence was anticipated ; but Lord
LANSDOWNE was ill-natured enough to make the
House laugh:at the Gallant Marquis, by furnish-
ing him ,with a short and easy answer for' those
who might ask Lord LONDONDERRY what
Lord LANSDOWNE'S intentions were, viz., that
be was not acquainted with them.

Cents. '7lf. 30c.

Brussels Papers to the 27th inst. were re-
ceived last night. At the great Wool Fairs in
Prussia and Saxony that article appears to have
fetched good prices. We subjoin extracts :

BERLIN, JUNE 18.—His Royal Highness, the Crown
Prince, who is making a tour to inspect the various garri-
sons, arrived on the 14th at Stettin.
Of about 10,000 cwt. of wool brought to the fair at
Stettin, a very small quantity remained unsold. The prices
were—for ordinary wool, 30 to 35 dollars ; middling, 40
to 55 dollars ; fine, 60 to S 5 dollars. That of Weinrichs
dorf was sold at 100 dollars.

DEESDEN, JUNE 15.—The wool fair was held from the
11th to the 13th. The sellers were well satified ; a great
quantity was sold, and at good prices.
On the 13th the King gave a private audience at Pilnitz,
to the Count de Saxbourg, Minister of Bavaria, who had
the honour to deliver to him the letter of condolence and
felicitation from his Sovereign, and to present his credentials.
SWITZERLAND, JUNE 13.—8 y a Circular of the 6th of
this month, the Directory has addressed to the Customs
the Convention signed at Berne, on the 20th of May, re-
specting the establishment of French subjects in Switzer-
land, and of Swiss subjects in France, inviting them to de-
cide on the ratification of that important document. At
the same time it communicates to them the project of e
second Convention with France, on several points of po-
lice, and the administration of justice.
As it will be laid before the Diet, the Directory re-
quests the Customs to give to their Deputies the necessary
nstructions.
PrrzaseuaGu, JUNE 9.—The Committee directing the
affairs of Siberia, has determined, that with detach-
ments of exiles that set out weekly from each Govern-
ment for Siberia, the unmarried women, and those
women whose husbands are not with them, shall be
carefully separated from the men, because the neglect
of this precaution often leads to fatal consequences.
According to the Report of the Committee, the number of
persons banished has increased, since 1822, from 9,000 to
12,000. The exiles are escorted as far as Casan, and from
that place are accompanied by detachments of Tartars to
the frontiers of Siberia, from which they have often to tra-
vel 4,000 werets (2,600 miles) before they arrive at the
place of their destination. They are then placed under
care of detachments stationed at certain distances for that
purpose. In consequence of the great number of exiles, it
often happens that some of them escape on the way.
OSTEND, JUNE 24.—iire can assure the public that
all the powder has been removed from the magazines
within the walls of Ostend ; and that all the inhabitants
speak in high terms of the precaution and care manifested
in the speedy execution of this measure ; the consequence
of which, besides making the inhabitants easy, will be to
attract numerous strangers, for the enjoyment of sea-bathing
in the fine season ; in fact, some have already arrived, and
others have bespoke lodgings.

We received this morning the Journal of St.
Petersburgh to the 13th inst. ; it contains news
from the army in Georgia to the 16th May,
giving details of the operations before the fortress
of Erivan. These accounts 'may be very inte-
resting to the Russians, but they possess little
interest here. Indeed we know not how far to de-
pend upon their accuracy, for truth has a long way
to travelfrom the confines of Persia to the imperial
archives at St. Petersburgh, where facts some-

times accommodate themselves to circumstances.
The war with Persia, or indeed any war, may be
very popular to the Russians, but we cannot look
on the struggle with the same feelings. We
hope if the progress of the war be not checked
by the power of the Persians, which does not
appear very likely at present, that the interposi-
tion of greater authority may save Persia from
the domineering grasp of her rapacious neigh-
bour :

NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA.
ST. PETERSEURCH, JUNE 12.

The following details are transmitted by General Ben-
kendorff, from the camp before Erivan, dated the 2d
(14th inst.)
On the 26th April (Bth May), Major Youdine, with
five companies of the Regiment of Schirvan, and four
pieces of cannon, occupied the northern suburb, and erected
a battery there, under the fire of the artillery and mus-
ketry of the town, which could not do them any harm.
The enemy's cavalry, which was quartered in this suburb,
has retired to the mountains, where its piquets are seen.
On the 9th of May, Major Volgenskoi, with the remainder
of the Regiment of Schirvan, and a company of that of
Tiflis, occupied the eastern suburb and the gardens, so
that a communication is established from the camp to the
little hill situated on the south-east of the fortress, and from
that point to the post of Major Youdine, whose right flank,
extended to the Zanga.
General Benkendorff praises in particular the ability of
the officers of the artillery, who have already dismounted
several of the enemy's guns and daily do him much injury
according to the report of the inhabitants and Sarbazians,
of whom great numbers fly from the town. On the Bth
and 9th we had one soldier killed and two wounded.
On the 12th of May, the advanced post of carabineers
was attacked by 200 Persian horsemen, who intended to
throw themselves into the fortress, the Governor of which
caused a sally to be made at the same time, but they were
repulsed with loss by Lieutenant Petroff, who commanded

the post.
On the same day Kalabaley Sultan, one of the chiefs of
the Schadlines, waited on General Benkendorff, expressing
to him in the name of the whole tribe, their desire to be
received under the protection of his Majesty the Emperor.
The Schad lines consist of 300 families, who inhabit the
village of Vedi. They signified that they were ready to
act against the Persians, in order to avoid being obliged to
emigrate to the other side of the Araxes, as the Persians
would force them to do.
Major-General Schabelskoi, who has escorted a. convoy,
from the Russian frontier to Erivan, where he arrived on
the lath of May, has not met with a single enemy, and
found every where abundant pasture.
The detachment under Major-General Pankatieff, re-
mains in its old position on the Kozloutchai.
The Persians are beginning to collect their forces on the
other side of the Araxes, the water in which is still very
high, and the passage over it has hitherto been extremely
difficult.
The division of the main body of troops, continue their
advance towards the frontier.

LATEST FROM BRAZILS.—In the British
brig Speedy, which arrived in Hampton Roads
from Rio, came M. OLIVERA, who is charged
with a Mission from the Brazilian Government.
A Chili= frigate, with 600 men on board, has
been lost off Cape Horn—all perished.

A silly blockhead, calling himself the Rev.
PETER LEGH, has (as Chairman of the War-
rington Pitt Club) made a supernaturally
stupid speech upon what he terms Pitt prin-
ciples, in which, with an unblushing con-
tempt for his sacred calling, he pronounces Mr.
CANNING to be « the most accomplished political
