FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE. APIIII. 15.—M. Jaubert,
cretary and Interpreter to his %jelly the Emperor
of she French, well known here from the feveral
millions in which he has been employed to the Sul.
tan, had been fent by his Sovereign to the King of
Pet fia. We had heard nothing of him for upwards
of a year ; and no doubt was any longer entertained
of his death—at length, however, we have been in.
formed of his lunation. 'His letter to M. ltnffin, the
French Charge d'Affaites, will convey lime idea of
the battings of this interefling young man.
NVhen the Sublime Porte was informed of his mil-
lion to Perna, they gave him a Firman to prince
his patlage. He arrived at the Court of the Perim
Schah,. who had difpatched a conliderable clean to
meet him.

COPT OF A LFTTFR FROM M. JAUDIRT TO M ROVFIR.
" From the Camp of the Jufrf Packs, 6o leagues
South Walt of h. nt Roam, March 14, tto6.

" Peovioascs,.that watches over
the dellinies of France, has permitted me to liirvive
the event which I have the honour to relate, and
for the publication of which I am rather anxious.—
Al the fame time I requett you will tranfmit it to
his Majeßy's Government.
•' I left Ens Roam on the night of July t, and
continued my journey to the North EaR of that place
without meeting with any danger,hut from two corps
of Kurdifh cavalry, from whom I efcaped by the
fwittnefs of my horlev, and the obiettrif y of the night.
The Ruffians being, in the neighbourhood, have or-
calioned the* hordes to over-run the whole country
booth of the Arazus. I traverfed this river on the
4th, and on the following day I arrived at the prin-
cipal fonrce of the Euphrates, about 54 leagues Irma
Ertz Room.
" On the evening of.the sth I was ohlized to flop
at Araab, an Armenian village, two leagues from
litshjiaszGedo,vearneni try
, wherebearing
ingMmoafhnieutiadt Ptachehavirlelaigidee,..„—x.
prelfed his wilt so fee me. and fent Come hoffemen
with orders to cundu't me to his refiJi lice. Mb-

mond Pacha is about thirty-two years of age. and is
famous in this eciostry for his tyranny, his 'nations
fpirit, and his riches. He received me with great .
coolnefs in his firft interview, and, having fepaiated
me from my people, queftioned them concerning me,
and. while he affefted a great deal of polirenefs on
my.account, he &dually, as I was afterwards in-
formed, put my guide to the torture, from whom,
having extorted fome equivocal acknowledgment'.
he afterwards had' the man fecretly affaffinated. At
the fame time he formed the bale projeft of robbing
me, as much to fatisfy his avarice, as to make him-
(elf agreeable to the Ruffians.
"You may go, (raid he to me). to Erwan, which
is but five leagues from hence, hot fail not upon your
return to pats through my province.
" I null entruft you with tome bufinefs at Con-
Hantinople, and with Jufef Paella : you fh all Ire el.
coned by my moft faithful fervants. When they
arrive upon the frontier, they will deliver to you a
palfport. Your guide will rejoin you this evening.'
1
w I fulpened his treachery, but it was not in my
power to avoid it. I left Bajazed with a confiderable
&rut. and under the protenion of a Vizier of the
Sublime Porte : I had a right, therefore, to confider
'Well in full fecurity ; but you will perceive bow
my confidence was re yarded.
" There is a (ream at the fort of Mount Ararat,
that runs into the Cafpian &a: this (ream is a boun-
dary between the territory of the St.blime Porte and
; that of Perfia. I paired it, and finding myfelf upon
the Perfian territory, my guides invited me to alight
from my hole ; but while I was thanking HPAVEN
fir having reached the Perfian territory at loch a
dittanee from my own country, I was fierrounded,•
difarmed, and thrown with my face to the ground.
At this moment, H is my witnefs, no unwor-
thy thought once (mere my mind; my lan wales
were for the profperity of my Sovereign's arms. I
did not forget that I carried the Imperial Eagle.
around which, is engraved there words-4 Honour
! our Country ;' the firft my only guide, and the lat-
ter the objeet of all my Hffations.
.1 Thus forprized and arrefied upon the Perfian
territory, I was dragged away by thole perfons
whole dory it was to defend me from my enemies.
In thii (*dilation I was left till the evening : night
coming on, I was condoned over frightful preci-
pices, quite out of the beaten road ; and, after a
march of three hours, I arrived at a lonely hotife at
fume dillance from Bajazed, where the reldl, in
difguile, waited my arrival. I complained bitterly
of this want of good faith, and my &mods on tl :s
megrim) used my life, as well as the lives of thole
who accompanied me. This traitor,fearing the
Iconfequenres of his attempt, laid with lume embar-
rafrinent, that lie thould write to Conliantinople.—...
He then ended me to be (tripped naked, and I wag
dragged to the Cattle, where there is a fubterraneoua
dungeon, an invention worthy of fuel a wretch.
" About midnight, I was obliged to defcend into
this cavern by a rope, the Nam giving orders to
the Commandant of the Cattle to keep me upon a
(nail quantity of bread and water ; to keep my con-
finement a profound fecret ; and nor to allow me to
have, any light, for fear people fliould fufpeet the fad
of fome perfon's being imprifnned there.
" I languithed in this fitnarion, and in the mean
while the plague raged in the city. The heat of the
weathei was intolerable ; I was without clothes, and
without hopes of life—.hill I was in pretty good
health, as were alfo the three perfona who belonged
to me. About the firft of Vendemiaire, of the year
t 4, the Pacha was affeAed with the plague, and in
. , rale of the intervals of his malady, he gave orders to
: have me all'aftioated ; this the Commandant of the
! Cattle refuted to execute ; and this was not the only
fervice done me by tits venerable Muffulman during
the eight months I was in confinement. To him I
owe my life and liberty.
" The Pacha died ; the city was then divided into
two parties, refpating the choice of a lomat-Br.—
Aehmet Bey, his fon, at length carried the eagle.—
. To me he teemed more dangerons than his father.
One of my limits happened to be re:ognised, and be
ordered it to be killed. He alfo removed my friend,
the Commandant of the CAI; and teemed inclined
' to deprive me of the wretched exillence which hid
i father had (pared, jun at the time when lie was feized
by the plague, and. like his father, carried off.—
Ibrahim Bey Rill furvived, and teemed more favour-
ably inclined than his predeceffors ; Rill he Offered
' me to remain a captive: he did nothing more than
order my place of confinement to be Rained, after the
expiration of 54 days. During this interval, I found
lan opportunity of writing a few lines, and fending
them into Perfia : I have lince received two anfwers,
•
• • copies of which I have enclofed, and fent to my Go-
-1 vernment.

" The Vizier Jnfef Bey having been informed of
my hillory, gave orders for me to attend him. A
Per flan officer arrived at the lame time from Taurus,
in claim me in the name of his Sovereign.. The Bey
canted me to be conduited here, and I cannot fuffici.
ently praife the reception I have met with. It is dill
my inttntion to deliver the letter (merely a friendly
one), of which I am the bearer, to the King of Perfia.
The Sublime-Porte will feel, I prefume, tint it can-
not confidently deny me a paffitg.e. It it the interelt
1
of the Porte. and, above all, it is that of juflice, not
to tubule its power on my account, or to take an ad-
vantage of my weaknefs. 1 fpcalc in the name of a
; Sovereign whole name is revered through the uni-
i verfe. If the Sublime Parte winter to prcfcrve his
friendflip, he it give him this proof of its ov n
amity. I requeß you will fend a c py of this to the
j Miniiler fir Forelgn Affsire, to whom I have not
