ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--..NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 15.
The Assizes at Durham having finished about two o'clock
this day, the Judges, Sir JOHN BATLEY and Sir JOHN
Hummer, left the town in their travelling carriages and
four, and proceeded here to open the Commission for the
town and county, and county of Northumberland. At
about seven o'clock in the evening their Lordships were
met at Gateshead by the Mayor and Sheriff of this town,
Dixon Dixon, Esq., the High Sheriff of Northumberland,
in his state carriage, drawn by six horses, and led by pages
in their state liveries. The procession was preceded by
upwards of 300 horsemen, amongst whom we noticed Sir
Matthew White Ridley, and Matthew Bell, Esq., m.p.,
and tie carriages of many of the gentry brought up the rear.
Their Lordships, on entering the town, repaired to the
Town Hall, where the Commission for holding the Assize
of Oyer and Terminer and Nisi Prins was opened in due
form ; after which they proceeded to the County Court,
where the Commission was also opened. Their Lordships
then adjourned to the Mansion-house.
The calendar consists of eleven prisoners, out of which
number nine are for the town of Newcastle, and two for
the county. Their offences are not of an atrocious nature,
being chiefly for housebreaking and stealing from the per-
son. The cause list for the county of Northumberland is
expected to be very heavy and interesting.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, of Wednesday, Aug. 15.)

PETERSBURGH, JULY 28.—Foreign Journals, on the
credit of pretended letters from Odessa, announce the speedy
conclusion of peace with Persia, but we know nothing of it
here ; the preparations of the Government, and the manner
in which the war has been carried on, rather seem to pre-
sage that it will be of long duration. The op4rations of
this war, for more than a year past, have led to no result.
Every body agrees in ascribing this to the measures of Ge-
neral Yermoloff, who had entirely neglected to form maga-
sines, and at the same time had displeased the inhabitants
and the authorities of the country by many outrageous acts.
But the measures of General Diebitsch, his Majesty's Aide-
de-Camp, and of the new Officers employed in the Com-
missariat, who have been sent to the provinces beyond the
Caucasus, have at last restored order, and we may confi-
dently expect soon to hear of great successes. It is gene-
rally believed, that by the treaty of peace we shall obtain the
cession to Russia of the province and city of Erivan, as- far
as the left bank of the Araxes. The inhabitants show the
greatest eagerness to implore the protection of our Sovereign.
PERPIG NAN, Auo. 7.—( Private Correspondence.)--
A band of 600 or 700 men, who are designated by the
name of Carlists, appeared before Olot, and demanded that
all arms and equipments should be delivered up to them,
and also 100 quadruples. They were at first refused ad-
mittance, but after a fire of musketry which lasted two
hours, they entered.
