NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA.

PETERSBURGH, JUNE 19.

General Paskewitsch, on his arrival at the port of
Akzebeoux, on the 16th (28th) May, transmits the follow-
ing details of the military operations
On the 16th, Colonel Baron Fredericks, the Emperor's
Aide-de-Camp, had been sent at the head of a part of the
troops of General Benkendorff to reconnoitre. At the dis-
tance of five wersta from the camp he was attacked on the
road to Nakhirchevan by Hassan Khan, with 2 or 3,000
cavalry, who, however, could not hinder him from passing
the river Garnitchai.

General Benkendorff, being informed of the assembling
of the enemy's cavalry at one spot, marched against it on
the sth (17th) with 1,000 cossacks and a company of
grenadiers ; but did not meet with Hassan Khan, who had
fallen back on Sardarabad, leaving Naghi Khan, with 400
karapapaks. On the approach of the cossacks the latter
gave way, and fled into the mountains.
General Benkendorff passed the Garnitchai, but the
parties which were sent out in all directions, not meeting
with the enemy, have returned to his position before
Erman. On the 20th having learned that the enemy's
cavalry, in considerable numbers, was again advancing from
Sardarabad to its first position near the Zanga, General
Benkendorff resolved to attack them the following morning.
In consequence he set out at ten in the evening, with
1,200.. cossacks, a part of the regiment of infantry of
Tiflis, and of that of Georgia, and one piece of cannon.
Arriving at day-break on the Zanga, after having passed
during the night through the village of Alakhanla, our
troops perceived the enemy posted on the other
its
junction of that river, at a short distance from
junction with the Araxes. The river being much swollen,
and the fire of the enemy's tiralleurs not permitting us to
attack the position unawares, General Benkendorff as..
tended the river and swam across it with his cavalry, and
a company of the regiment of Tiflis, in order to destroy
the enemy's
but the Persians hastened to fall back on the left, passed
cavalry in the angle which they occupied,
the Aberan between the villages of Senti and Scholli, and
formed in a body on the other side of that river. After
some discharges of musketry en both sides, Colonel Karp.
hoff, with his regiment, swam across the river, impe-
tuously attacked the numerous forces of the enemy, and
threw them into confusion. The regiments of cossacks of
the Black Sea, and two companies of that of the Don of
Andrieff, also
passed the river, and pursued the enemy
flying along the left bank of the Araxes, till under the
walls of Sardarabad, where part of his cavalry sought
protection, while the other part continued to fly towards
the Turkish frontiers. For a distance of 25 wersta the road
was covered with the killed, and blocked up by the horses
I and baggage of the enemy's camp, as well as the private
baggage of Hassan Khan. All the horsemen who attempted
to cross the Arms were drowned. In this action we
took 53 prisoners, all severely wounded, among whom
were Kelescb, Aga of Kourtine ; and Ali Mirza Ogli, Aga

Tchebok of Karagbi. The enemy had SOO men killed or
drowned, among whom were Izniandor, Sultan Tchebok
of Karaghi ; Temiraz, Aga of Karapapak ; and Mustapha-
bek, of Khoi. On our side we lost Captain Iliachensko, of
the 4th Regiment of the cossacks of the Black Sea; and
one cossack of the Regiment Andrieff, of tha Don. Two
cossacks of the Ist and 4th Regiments of the Black Sea
were wounded. Hassan Khan was indebted for his safety
only to the swiftness of his horse.

Asian Sultan, of the Schadlines, has sent to declare that
be, and the families subject to him, did not consent to the
emigration to the other side of the Araxes, to which the
Persian Government wanted to compel them, and that he
had fortified himself in the castle of Asian Kai, near Lake
Gokteha.
The Sardar has sent to the town of Kazbine all his va-
luable effects, and even the golden crescent of the Mosque
of Erivan, which makes the inhabitants presume that he
does not expect to preserve that fortress. A report is even
spread that he intended to evacuate it.
. .

It is said also that troubles have broken out in Khora-
san, and on the frontiers of the Afghans.
Major-General Pancratieff still occupies the old positions
of the detachment of Karabagh.

The following are extracts from the Brussels
Papers of the sth inst.:—

ODESSA, JUNE 6.

Sixty-five ships have arrived here since the 25th ult.,
and the number is daily increased by fresh arrivals. The
price of wheat has risen in consequence, and that of the
first quality is now sold at 14 rubles per chetwert. Dry
wheat is sold in the waggons ; after having been taken to
the warehouses to be cleaned with the sieve, it is immediately
sent on board the ships.

COLOGNE, JULY 1.
The Government at Dusseldorf has issued the following
notice :

His Majesty, in consequence of an event which has
come to his knowledge, has ordered the strict observance of
the prohibitions, to preach any sermon of a controver-
sial nature, either in the Protestant or Catholic Churches
of the Monarchy, and to prosecute, without indulgence, the
Clergy who may ♦iolate it.
In making the Clergy of the several Churches acquaint.
ed with the Royal Order, we expect that they will carefully
avoid in their public discourses, all expressions which
might disturb the harmony and peace existing among the
members of the different Churches, and which would be
contrary to the spirit of the gospel, and to Christian to-
lerance.

GHENT, JULY 1.

On the 29th the Royal Society of Agriculture and
Botany gave their prizes to the proprietors of the plants ex-
hibited to which they had been adjudged. On this occa-
sion we observed a cypress with inscriptions, expressing the
regret of the Society for the loss it had sustained in the last
twelve months by the deaths of M. de Coninck, formerly
Minister of the Interior, M. Fermondt, and the Marquis
of Hastings, formerly Lord Moira.
The Marchioness of Hastings has been for some days at
Ghent. She doubtless was ignorant that the late Cover-
vor-General of India had been a member of the Society
and one of the benefactors of the Botanic Garden, and the
Directors of the Society on their part did not know that
her Ladyship was in this City, going to the Exhibition-room
with her family. She was much affected at seeing the ex-
pression of the gratitude of the Society. It seems that
her Ladyship, with her numerous family and suite, will
make some stay here, having hired the spacious house built
in the parade by M. Dracq, his Majesty's Chamberlain.

An Express has arrived from Paris with the
Wednesday's prices of the Rentes :—Three per
Cents. 72f. 25c. 30c. The above Express does
not bring any news—all was quiet there.

Halifax Papers to the 16th June inclusive have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-house :
they inform► us that the vessel belonging to the Lessees of
the Crown Mines, in that province, under the firm of the
Annapolis Iron Mining Company, had arrived at Pictou,
containing upwards of SOO tons of machinery, implements,
&c., and above 85 skilful and experienced miners, engi-
neers, and mechanics ; and a notice from the Provincial Se-
cretary's Office calls upon all persons to lend to the agents
and directors every reasonable facility and assistance in the
great usulertaking. The attention of this Company will
chiefly be directed to the raising of vast quantities of coal.
These mines will also supply immense quantities of iron

and in a short time they will cease to import from England
pig iron for their founderies. Messrs. Runde], Bridge,
and Runde?, appear to be prominent parties in the spe-
culation, which buts fair to answer the object in view, of
profitable employment for the people, and will add to the do-
mestic comfort of the inhabitants. Some expectation seems to
be entertained that, in addition to coal and iron, copper will
also be found. These mines appear to have been granted,
in the first instance, to his late Royal Highness the Duke of
York, and by him have been sub-leased to Messrs. RundeL
It is calculated that the demand for these articles in the
province will be almost to an unlimited extent.

New Brunswick Papers to the Bth June inclusive have
been received at the Norf.). and South American Coffee-
house ; accounts have been received from Prince Edward's
Island of the 22d May, which mention the arrival of Lord
Valentia, accompanied by Dr. Hacket, on the Saturday pre-
ceding in a pilot2l;oat, from Shediac. Colonel Cockburn
was understood to proceed from thence some distance
farther to the westward, and would afterwards return along
the coast of Pictou, where the Chebucto is waiting to bring
him to this island. The Lieut.-Governor of New Bruns-
wick, under date 24th May, issued a Proclamation,
proroguing the General Assembly of the Province to
the second Tuesday in June. These Papers contain
regulations, and the terms on which lands will be
granted to emigrants, one of which limits, that no lot shall
exceed 1,200 estimated acres. The Government autho-
rities seem to be entirely employed in the improvement of
their valuable possessions, to which the strong tide of emi-
gration which has set in to this quarter will add very con-
siderably. The Favoran, Captain Maon, with 250 pas-
sengers, had arrived at St. Andrew's Point, and was under
quarantine, in consequence of some few cases of fever on
board.

Letters from Genoa of the 27th ultimo, confirm the ac-
counts we gave yesterday from Messina, of the destructive
effects produced by the hurricane on that coast on the sth
and 7th ultimo ; and which, we learn, reached the Cala-
brian Coast. Ten vessels were wrecked, among them two
Neapolitans, a Sicilian, a Sardinian, and several fishing-
boats; part of the crews of which were lost.

A paragraph appeared some days ago in the
Times and other Papers, stating that all the
houses in the Regent's Park are infested with
bugs, and were originally built with American
timber. We are enabled, from our own know-
ledge, to contradict the statement as respects the
bugs, and have reason to believe that Mr.
NURSE, who built above a hundred of those
houses, and the other respectable builders con-
cerned, never employed any but Baltic timber.

We beg to direct the attention of our readers
to a case of very peculiar distress advertised
in a preceding column. To the charitably-
disposed, we know of no case more deserv-
ing their compassion. We say this from a
personal knowledge of Mr. DUNNE, whose
calamity is bitterly enhanced by the recollection
that his wife was very near her confinement.

THE HAY HARVEST.—It affords us sincere
satisfaction to state, that although the changeable weather
last week somewhat suspended the operations of the mowers
in this neighbourhood, and threatened injury to the grass
already cut, a few fine days since have caused a general and
ardent resumption of the scythe. A considerable quantity
of bay has, in consequence, been already got in, perfectly
safe, and the rest of the crop is now rapidly advancing to
the same

THE FUNDS-(TIIIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Yesterday afternooon, when it became known that the
Bank had come to the determination of reducing their rate
of discountifrom 5 to 4 per cent., the Money Market be-
came instantly in a state of bustle and confusion, such as
we have seldom seen, and never certainly exceeded on any
occasion ; an instant advanr.T in the British Funds took '
place, not in I but of 1 and per cent. at a time, and be-
fore the close of the market Consols had risen to 81, and
in the Alley to 881. This morning, long befoic th: usual
hour of opening, the English Stock Exchange had a full
attendance, and Consols opened at 88i ; ..2.e market
has since then continued in a • violent and agitated state, so
much so as to render it qa ite impossible to follow the
different turns which have to ken place. Some idea may,
however, be formed from the fact, that they have been
done at 881, and as low as B',7l—rose from the latter to
881, and are now 871 1. lii the City, the effects of the
above measure is canvassed very freely, and the benefit to
the public arising therefrom ate by many deemed extremely
equivocal, without any substantial benefit to the Bank
itself; and they add the increas” of discount will not be of
any moment, as good bills cam be done at the private
bankers at from Sto 31 per mot. Some augur an imme-
diate rise in all the necessaries of life, already too high, and au
increase of speculation from wihich the country generally
has so long and severely suffered ; there are not wanting
those who consider the alteration as a dangerous experi-
ment, and say it was not the general but divided wish of the,
Directors that this measure should be carried into effect•l
and report says some resignations may be expected of old
Directors in consequence. India Bonds rose to 87 9, and
Exchequer Bills to 57 9 pm.
From the same important notice every security in the
Foreign Funds has risen, with the exception of Greek and
Spanish Bonds; Russian are 94 ; Danish, 631 ;

Ayres, 62 3 ; Colombian are 31 The chief business ;
in the Foreign Securities has been in Russian, Danish,
and Mexican ; but it has not been to any isnpor-
tent extent, the English market having attracted the
chief attention of speculators. Shares remain in the same
heavy state, and little or no alteration has taken place
in the quotations.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIg DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
The Court, this morning, disposed of several Causes of
no interest whatever.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(London Sittings, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.)
The Court was occupied, this morning, in disposing of
Common Jury Causes, none of which possessed any graeral
interest.

CONSISTORY COURT.
BRISCOE V. BRISCOE.

Sir C. ROBINSON this day proceeded to state the ground`
of his refusal to the application made by Dr. Lee, to be ptr-
mitted to see the taxed bills of costs in the case of Briscoe
v. Briscoe. Dr. Lee had insisted upon his right to see the
records lodged in the registry, in the triple character of
a judge in the cause of Briscoe v. Briscoe, practitioner of ,
the Court, and one of the public. The unlimited manner
in which this supposed right was laid down by Dr. Lee *as,
in the opinion of the Court quite inconsistent with thesafe
custody of the papers lodged in the hands of the Register :
for if the records were open to one individual as a rght,
they must be open to all persons. Upon the ground Ot
being inconsistent with security, therefore, the Court could
not sanction the proposition of Dr. Lee which was alt) ob-
jectionable on other grounds. It was frequently desrable
s
that the records of judicial proceedings, originating h the
themshould left at rest, unless the üblio
to be dragged into light. Sa that
Interest required
if a party in a cause desired to see the records after thajudi-
cial proceedings terminated, they would have no right.
If the right of Dr. Lee was inconsistent, the Court
could see nothing in his motive which ought to educe
it to accede to his proposition. The alleged object of
the application was to impeach the proceedings of the Re.
clesiastical Courts for 14 years, and by some meats to
oblige the Judges, Counsel, and Proctors, engaged in the
cause, to bear the expence of those prospective proceedings.
There was so much extravagance in this notion, that •11.
(Sir Christopher Robinson) could not conceive ha
it could enter into' any reasonable mind. The object of
Dr. Lee was to implicate all parties, judicial and profit'
colonel ; and it was hard for him to advert to such an objet
in those terms of respect which he wished to give to the'
application. The application was wholly gratuitous, for
the case was wholly disposed of, the High Court of Dele-
gates having decided that both parties were implicated in
criminal habits, and therefore dismissed the suit. The
Proctors representing the parties were satisfied with that
decision ; and the individual who made the application
might have been satisfied too. At all events, he (Sir C. Ro-
binson) should consider himself extremely culpable, if be
facilitated those exparte proceedings which Dr. Lee evree-
sed a desire to prosecute, and should therefore content
himself with expressing his approbation of the condtct of
the Registrar, and his rejection of the application made by
Dr. Lee.—The Court then adjourned.
