General Yermoloff granting in the name of the Emperor the
pardon they solicited has ordered the woods surrounding their
village to be cut down, in order to render the access to it more
easy for the troops.
Tranquillity prevails on the frontiers of Persia. A detachment
of Persian cavalry, which attacked one of our Nomads camps,
near die Araxea, could not do any injury to the inhabitants, and
was even repulsed with loss. In order to prevent similar at-
tempts, part of our van-guard has gone from Akouglane towards
the bridge of Koupopernisk, to he better able to protect the banks
of the Araxes. Towards the Steppe of Mongan, the inspection of
the frontier is confided to the detachment of Colonel Mistchenko,
placed near the ford of Djavat and on the Koura.

JANUARY 26.
The Commercial Gazette has published the following table
of the receipt of Customs 'at St. Petersburgh, during the last five
years, which shews the good effects of the tariff of 1822 still in
force :—The Duties of Customs were—
In

HANOVER, rzs. 2.
The general assembly of the States of the Kingdom has resumed its
sittings. Count Von Platen-Hallermand, Hereditary Postmaster-
General, is appointed President by his Majesty on the presentation
of the Chambers.

The refusal of the Austrian Minister to give to cer-
tain French Marshals the titles they bear, continues to
excite a very strong feeling in France, and has called
forth some highly inflammatory appeals to the public
mind. The Journal des Debats contains a poem by
VICTOR HUGO on this subject. France, says the
Poet, is not yet so far humbled that she will suffer an
outrage.

" Contre une injure ici tout s'unit, tout se !eve,
Tout s'arme ; et la Vendee aiguisera son glair',
Sur la pierre de Waterloo."

The Poet we think would have shown better taste
if he had not referred to Waterloo, but contented him-
self with those places which were the scenes of battles
which terminated very differently for the honour of
the French Army than the Field of Waterloo.

The Etoile contaims a long letter on this subject,
in ANhich the writer observes, that the offended persons
appear to have been rather too hasty in their resent-
ment, however natural it may be; and that the term
insolent Foreigner, applied to Count APporry by
Count SEGUR, was entirely improper, and quite out
of place in the House of Peers, which has nothing to
do with the question. The writer goes on state—

BERLIN, FEB. 3.
His Majesty continues in good health, and the improvement of
the foot proceeds as well as can be desired.

Gibraltar Chronicles and Commercial Lists, to the
22d January inclusive, are received. The only extract
of the least interest is from the latter :

" That this pretension was in fact brought forward by Austria,
in 1814, and has never been abandoned, though Baron Vincent
eluded the difficulty by never giving written invitations,
and by never being in his drawing-room to receive his
company, but waiting till they were all assembled, so that
it was not necessary to announce any body by name. It
is further to be observed, he says, that Austria does not
object to titles derived from victories, such as the Prince of Wa-
gram, Prince of Eckmuhl, Duke of Valmy, &c. but it objects to
those which are not derived from such a source, but are mere
titles of a feudal nature ? If, adds the writer, Lord Nelson was
called Baron of the Nile, and the Duke of Wellington Prince of
Waterloo, we cannot but acknowledge that these titles are merit-
ed ; but if Russia, England, Austria, and Prussia, should choose
to give their Generals the title of Dukes of Burgundy, Isle de
France, &c., we should certainly not recognise them. Our Ge-
nerals need not be at a loss for titles derived from brilliant vic-
tories, which would be equally merited and indisputable."

GIBRALTAR, Jaw. 22.—Last night there arrived at Algesiras,
a Spanish sloop and two brigs of war, from Cadiz, said to be for
the purpose of conveying a regiment going from Ceuta to the
Canaries, for which vessels have been freighted and sent from
hence. A corvette, a brig schooner, and a schooner of war, have
been for some time stationed at Algesiras. Quarter to 4. P. M.
3 brigs, (1 English,) and an English ship, from the westward, hays
just anchored.

We understand that the vacant Judgeship will not
be filled up till after the Circuits, in order to enable the
LORD CHANCELLOR to make some new arrangements
in the Court of Exchequer. The opinion of the
profession is still decidedly in favour of Sergeant
VAUGHAN%

The chances are, that sooner or later this foolish
question will involve the two countries in hostilities.
The discussion will engender feelings and an excite-
ment which are not likely to be allayed without bleed-
ing—the sure resource of nations, as of some doctors
with their patients.

It must be very distressing to the feelings of Mr.
CANNING that his conduct with regard to Portugal
should 'not have met with the approbation of some of
the London Journalists. « What is the applause of
listening Senates," when set off against the disappro-
bation of a writer in the Morning Herald ?
Whether it is for the display of singularity or for
some inexplicable reason, we know not, but that
Journal has been of late very severe on poor
Mr. CANNING. It should really consider that
in his present state of health such animadversions
may be attended with serious consequences—in-
deed who knows but they may have occasioned his
illness. The writer of an article which appeared on
Saturday fancies that the Right Hon. Gentleman, in
what is called his Portuguese Expedition, was
actuated by a poetical imagination. Now we
never heard 'till now of poetic imagination carrying
a man farther than the description of battles, but we
presume that a spurious love of eclaL, was what the
writer meant. But is he dull enough to think, that
had Mr. CANNING been under the influence of such
feelings, he would not have protracted rather than
crushed the war in Portugal, or does he suppose that
Mr. CANNING stands in need of farther renown? Is
he not at the summit of human ambition ? Is not
his existence viewed as of essential importance to the
prosperity not only of England, but of Europe, and
of the world, which might be thrown back half a cen-
tury, were his controlling influence unhappily with-
drawn? And what can a man wish fot more than the
consciousness of holding such a proud position ?

What dire offence from martial causes springs,
What mighty contests rise from trivial things !

Reports have been for some time in circulation that
Spain was about to send to this country a person
charged with a special diplomatic mission ; and the
arrival of a Spanish Nobleman, in London, who has
proceeded to Brighton to obtain an interview with Mr.
CANNING, as soon as the state of the Right Mon.
Gentleman's health will permit, has given rise to new
reports connected with this subject. At present nothing
certain is known as to the objects of his mission, if this
Nobleman is really charged with communications from
his Court.

We received this morning Dutch Papers of the

following are extracts. Tranquillity prevailed on the
frontiers of Persia :

The Governor of this province received this morning an ex-
press, dispatched by his Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Hamburgh,
on the 31st, in the evening, with the news that the Waterloo
had come to an anchor on the 25th, near Sandy Island, a mile
and a half from Heligoland ; that the ship, considering all the cir-
cumstances, lies well at anchor, and receives all possible assistance
from Heligoland, five fishing-boats being constantly employed.

The accounts which we continue to receive from the Nieuwe
Diep show the impossibility of approaching the Waterloo with
the vessels designed for the purpose. It is a pity that circum-
stances induced Capt. Van Dalen to steer northwards, just

the Nieuwe Diep on the 6th, that he learnt at Bor-
kum, that five men, natives of Heligoland well acquainted with the
Island, and the Elbe, were on board the Waterloo. He had also
spoken to three men belonging to the Waterloo who had gone on
board a brig, and who assured him that there was no want of any
thing on board, and that by the falling of the masts only one man
had been killed.
The water in the Lek is still rising.

The ice has accumulated in such a manner at Pannerden, as to
block up both the mouths of the river, and it is very thick, so
that much apprehension is felt for the consequences.

linuctuEN, FEB. 6.

The accounts from the Upper part of the Rhine, are unfavour-
able. At Caub the water had risen between the 15th and 30th
January, no less than 22 feet, so that the whole neighbourhood
was under water. On the 31st, however, it fell nearly nine feet.
At Cologne the water had risen, but not so much. At Grave it
has fallen since yesterday 21 inches. The ice is firm, and car-
riages pass over it. Here too heavy loads pass the ice, but the
water continues to fall.

The Rhine is now falling here as well as at the other places.

The inclemency of the season is very remarkable even in the
southern parts of Italy ; wind, rain, snow, and ice, follow each other
in rapid succession. On the 19th Reaumur's thermometer was
at 4. below freezing, and on the morning of the 20th 44. ; this
is the severest cold we have had at Rome since 1808, when the
thermometer was at 5. below freezing. This severe cold has
been suddenly succeeded by the Sirocco, which has brought so
much water and so melted the snow in the neighbouring mountains
that the Tiber yesterday overflowed its banks in several parts of
the city, at the beginning of last night it was 13 meters and 9
decimeters above its usual level, it then began to fall a little, and
this morning had decreased half a decimeter.

ST. PETENSBURGH, JAN. 24.
On the 12th (24th) December, General Yermoloff, falling back
from the province of Scheken to the river Alazan (in Kaketia),
sent to Tiflis a part of the troops that accompanied him, and with
the remainder effected his junction with the forces stationed near
the villages of Tchary and Gogami, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-General Prince Eristoff.
A party of Lesghis and mountaineers, who had been plunder-
ing in Kaketia, fearing the punishment which they merited,
had placed themselves in ambush near the village of Tchary,
on an eminence named Zakataly, surrounded by steep moun-
tains, and covered with forests, depending on the strength
of their position, they persevered in their disobedience
till the arrival of General Yermoloff, when they changed
their minds. The Elders of Tchary waited on the Ge-
neral, and asked pardon for tfieir crime. They restored the pri-
soners they had taken, gave hostages chosen from the best fami-
lies, and engaged to send away the mountaineers whom they had
