PETERSBURG'', JULY s.

• Under the lucky aufpices of the re-eltablifhtnent
of goodintelligence between this country and Great
Britain, which the aaive exertions of Lord Sr.
Ha Ca' i have fo happily acconiplifhed, commerce
is daily rifingl,om the languor which, during the
Litter period of Ps tres adminlaration, had totally
cxtinguillied all mercantile fpirit. -The port of
Croniladt is again opened, and numerous arrivals
from the German flares of the Baltic have already

occurred.
The wails releafed from embargo are returning
homely-era evety day ; the want df'hands to na-
vigate them detains many others. The Swedes and
Danes,who compofed a part of their former crews,
• all returned borne when the fire detention occur-
, reds and of the F-itglifh, feveral have fallen vic-
tims to the. harelfhips .and fatigue of their. former
arbitrary captivity. To obviate this aggravated
Rate of difafter. the Commanders of his IWajelly's
fleet in the Baltic have, with a very confiderate
attention to the commercial interefts of their coun-
try, difpatched a number of feamen to di (tribute
among the various !hips at Cronftadt, and navi-
gate them back to England. They arrived on
Sunday eat in the COURIER cutter, which now lies
ill the Roads, alongfide the nglifh frigate LA-
TON*, and in, the midft of the whole-Rufan naval
forces of the Baltic, amounting to near forty fail,
including, atnimgft many fine firil rates, two Al-
pert, !hips of 120 guns, and a number of fmall vef-
fels, the whole forming, with the immenfe floating
batteries, and other fortifications, which had been
mired during the winter, one of the moft grand
and formidable fpeftacles which fo confined a chan-
nel could admit of.
Some fenfation has juft been felt here by the fuel-
den difmiffal from Pererfburgh of the Governor-
General of Livonia' who has been ordered away
with all his fuite. He was a Nobleman hitherto
poiliffed of much influence, and his difgrace is fup-
pofed to originate with the Late Emperor's widow:
A dreadful conflagration having dellroyed
houfes in the town of Belew, province of Tula, his
In 'tau!. Mijarry,whofe humanity and compla.
cence are the theme of general admiration, has ifs
fued an Ukafe, ordering the Government of that
diftrift to advance to the unfortunate fufferers a
loan of 21,000 rubles for so years, free of all
intereft, appointing Adminiftrators to fuperintend
the equitable diftribution of this benevolent affif-
lance.
Great preparations are making to celebrate the
• Coronation of tht Emperor ALEXANDER, at Mof.
cow, on the 22d of September next, with all ima-
ginable „. fplendour. The Foreign Minifters, with
all their fLite equipage, &c. are to be prefent ;
and immenfe numbers of well-withers to the new
•• Monarch are already repairing thither from all
quarters of the Empire.

The fiihnottg letters op the above fubjedt are the more iptcreft-

• a caatary„ once fo celebrated, but of whole prefent condition
tech mere and abfolute ignorance prevails :
" Shiraz, Atigaft 29, silo°.
" In a former letter I mentioned to you the Em-
baffy having left Abu Shiher, commonly called
Buthire, for this place; we travelled in the moft
fplendid flyle with refpeft to our equipment and
attendants, and were treated with the utmoft at-
tention and refpea throughout the whole of our
Sourneell. The different Governors of the refpeftive
provinces through which our route lay, came nut
to receive and welcome the Envoy, conditaing
him to his tents, undet'a continued difcharge of
fire-arms, with a grand difplay of military evolu-
• titans- The early part of our journey proved ex-
. tremely unpleafant on account of the exceftive heat,
until we arrived at Cazeroon ; having then palled,
or rather afcended two ranges of exceeding high
mountains, 'we experienced a very fenfible altera-
tion in the climate. We halted at Cazeroon ten
diyi after our fatigue, regaling ourfelves with
plenty of different ices, great quantities of (now
being brought from the furrounding mountains.
" On our leaving Cazeroon, we afcended two
more ranges of mountains, before we reached Shi-
raz, with the fight of which we were at length gra-
tified on the teth of June. Captain MALCOLM,
the Envoy, made his public entry the following
day, and was received with the higheft and moft
flattering diltinEtion. Five Noblemen of the higher
order, attended by a retinue of upwards of a thou-
find horfe, came out to receive him, welcome him
on his arrival, and conduit him to where his tents
had been pitched. *hich was on a lofty terrace,
under the walls of the garden, called Jehan Noma,
and within a few hundred yards of the tomb of
the celebrated Hafiz ; and the ftream of Rochna-
had, fo famed in 11:1 poems, does us the honour
ol running through our camp ; it is at prefent not
a very mighty Bream, being no more than two
feet wide, but the pnrenefs of its waters juftly &-
terve all the praifes they have received. The bower
of Mofeila is alto clofe at hand, but which has fuf-
fered from time, nothing now remaining of that
foimerly much-admired place, but the ruins of an
old brick wall.
• Our Ray here has altogether been extremely,
plea? het. particatarly the latter part of oar time;
the firil fit weeks we were continually entertained
with fealting, feats in wreftling, rope-dancing, and
fire-works. Soon after our arrival we quitted our
tents, and took up our refidence in a Palace, faint-
ed in the centre of the delightful garden of the
Jehan Noma. Since our arrival we have Peen the
panics REGENT two or three times; he is a very
handfome'boy of about twelve years old. I fop-
pole our flay at this place will not now exceed eight
or ten days. when we 'hall begin our journey to
Ifpahan, "from whence you may again expert to
hear from me. I proles I cannot help feeling a
particular 4egree of veneration for the place we
are now in, and conceive dist I NU treading claf-
tic ground." • .• . •

" 'Agreeable to my promife, I trade* you. a
(hurt 'account of our journey from Shim to thui
place. We left Shiraz on the 4Th inR. and the
roads and country through which we pared *lre
excellent, generally leading through Wie eaten-
five plains, of a rich foil ; but the traces of indef.'
iry, or the cultivating hand of the farmer, were
evidently wanting, owing probably from the fear-
city of water, but Rill more fo from the want of
population. On our way from Shiraz we vifited
the ruins of the once celebrated city of Perfepolis,
but as we only continued there one day, we had
but a very curfory xiew of it, yet Rill fufficient to
forcibly imprefs on the mind an idea of its former
grandeur. Our reception at Ifpahan was truly
magtuficcnt ; the Beglerbeg's brother and fon, at-
tended by nearly ten thoufand troops, marched out
the dillance of eight miles to meet us, and if I may
be permitted to judge from appearances, there
muft have been not lefs than thirty thoufand fpec.
tators affembled together to witnefs the novelty of
fuch a fight. We have not yet paid a viGt to the
city, but it feems to be of immenfe extent, and its
whole appearance denotes the capital of a great
and extenfive empire. One of the Palaces of the
Seffeiran Monarchs is fitted up fOr our reception,
and we (hall take poffeifiou of it to-morrow or next
day; at prefent we amencamped on the banks of
the river 2ainderood, to the weftward of the city.
The Beglerbeg, thy, Mahomed Huffain Khan,
has juft.paid us a vita;, he is a remarkable pleafant
old man, Paid to be extremely rich, and made an
elegant and fhowy 8/ipeetance in his drefs and
equipage. We propofe to leave this itr about ten
days,' and expeet to be at the Imperial Stirrup in
about three weeks afterwards, at fartheft,"

The veffel with difpatches on board, captured
by the Mx act, ay, as we announced'yellerday, Was
bound from Egypt for Ancona, as we learn by
the Gazette of lafi night, which alfo contains an
account of a moll gallant adion fought by the
SPUMY cutter, of 14 four-pounders, Lord COCO..
SANE Commander, with a Spanifh xebeck frigate,
of 3z guns, which the boarded and captured!
The Expedition under the command of Lord
NELSON engroffes the public converfation. From
the moment of his departure, difpatches were
hourly looked for by every perfon, as no one en-
tertained a doubt of his foon giving a good account
of the enemy's armaments. It certainly is a fin-
gular fpedacle to behold thofe who threatened to
invade us with a naval armament, not only block-
ed up in their ports, and cut off from all commu-
nication along their own coat, except by Realth,
but in danger of being vifited by a force fufficient
to delltoy them.
In fad, before this time their fquadron at Bou-
logne is probably annihilated. It is known that Earl
ST. VINCENT, when Lord Net.soe waited upon
him to take leave, addreffed him thus:. " 1•111. sow,
lam in a great hurry. Here are your infirudions,
fend the French gun-boats to the devil in your

own way !"
By our letters from Dover, we learn that he
made the attempt yefterday. We (hall not hazard
conjeaure of any kind refpeaing the iffue, as a
few hours mull bring difpatches from Lord Nils-
son. Indeed, difpatches were received from his
Lordihip this morning, but whether the aaion had
terminated when he fent them off, we have not
learnt. In the mean time, we fubjoin the accounts
that have reached us, .and which left Dover laft
night :

" arrived, we are ignorant of the fuccefs of the
" attack. The atmofphere is now very clear, and
greateß part of the thinning are plain to be feen
" from the hills, firing upon the Town and Har-
" bour, and the French batteries appear to keep
" up a brilk fire in return.
" Lord Nstsow fhifted bis flag yellerday on

There are people in town who left Dora at a.
late hour lalt night, at which time the Bombard-
ment had not terminated.

On Saturday lak at a common affembly of the
Mayor, Jurats, and Commonalty of the town and
port of Sandwich, the freedom of that ancient
corporation was agreed to be prefented to the Rt.
Hon. Lord Vifeount Nilson, as a token of their
gratitude, for the fignal fervices his Lordship has
rendered to.this country, during the prefent war.
Monday afternoon upwards of zoB draft horfes,
for the ufe of the Artillery, paled through the City
and Borough of Southwark, to a& upon the lea
coati in cafe of an invafipn being attempted.

Lan Friday night the military Rationed along
the coon of Suffer were thrown into a buftle bye
being unexpededly called to arms, in cocrequence
of formal advices which their Commanders had
received, pofitively (toting that the enemy's fleet
was at fea, and within fight, a little weftward of
Brighton. The troops continued under arms the
whole night, and, until the miftake was deteded
the next Morning.'

Coo, whenever his Majefty might be pleafed to re-
quire its Cervices.
Colonel A OURS. of the Royal Manchefter and

moufly declared themfelves ready to march to any
part of the diftritt, whenever they than be called
upon by Government.
The Loyal Stroud Volunteers, on parade, left
Wednefday, were informed by Captain Hord.; os
of his having received an official notice that their
fervices would very probably loon be required to
oppofe the attempts of an invading enemy. The
Captain, on this occa lion, confidering the fituation
of moll of the individuals relative to their domef-
tic attachments and concerns, put to them the
queftion, " Is any Gentleman defirous of procur-
ing for himfelf a rubnitute ?"—The emotion pro
duced in the breaft of every by-Bander is conceiv-
able, but cannot be defcribed, when they heard

Colonel Wittrasts, who obtained fo much dif
dation in his command of the Auftrian flotilli of
gun-boats, during the whole of the war with
France, is arrived at Hamburgh, on his ray to
England.—Letters received by this officer from
Venice, Rate, that the Auftrian trade from Ve-
nice and Triefte by fea, is entirely fufpendcd, in
confequence of the Englifh cruizers having cap-
tured feveral veffels bound to different harbours
occupied by the French in Lower Italy. The
merchants at Triefte arc obliged to forward all
goods for Naples by land, through Venice and Bo-
logna.

that the Merchants there are preparing their con-
fignments to be fent to Perfia, in conformity to the
articles of regulation made for the eftabliniment of
a fyßem of commercial intercourfe between that
populous nation and the Englifh. The embalfy to

By a private letter received from India by the
late (hips, we learn that Major rote max VIM ten•

pauvres on the 16th April, when he defeated the
Rajah's army bi Agimere, confining of forty eight
bartalions, compriftg woo Rohillas, woo Nan-
