the varied scene which we have witnessed so peculiar and ro-
Mantic a character, his particular thanks for their attendance,
anti his warm approbation of their uniform deportment. He
does justice to the ardent spirit of loyalty by which they are ani-
mated; and is convinced that he could offer no recompence for
their services so gratifying to them as the assurances which I now
convey, of the esteem and approbation of their Sovereign.' "

Davis' Straits, with one fish ; and we are grieved to say, brings
most disastrous accounts of the fishing. She bore up the 19th of

were lost, 22 beset, and the remainder had come away, the
fishing being considered over. None of the ships had been able
to get to the westward, owing to an impenetrable barrier of ice.

German Papers to the Bth inst. reached us this
forenoon. An article in the Allgenteine Zeitung, from
Semlin, states that the Turkish carriers from Albania
say that the Suliots, having been defeated in several
actions by the Paella of Arta, had submitted to the
Porte, and made a Convention with the Pacha. This,
if true, would be a great misfortune for the Greeks,
as the Turks would have a large force at liberty.

Count Bual Schauenstein, President of the German
Diet, arrived at Vienna on the 31st of August.

This forenoon we received a Hamburgh Mail, with
Papers to the 11th inst. 'the following are extracts:
ST. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST 27.

The Persian Minister, Mezza Saleb, now here, a
favourite of the reigning Emperor, had his first audi-
ence of his Majesty on the 21st of July, when he pre-
sented a portrait of the Persian Crown Prince, hewn
in marble, in the Oriental taste, and also a curious
Arabian manuscript. This Ambassador goes from
St. Petersburgh to England. He speaks French and
English fluently, and has employed his time, during
his short residence here, in visiting the most interest-
ing curiosities in the capital. He has a painter with
him, who is expressly commissioned by the Schah,
his master, to make drawings of everything remark.
able that he may meet with in his travels.
Reports proceeding from Constantinople, say that
the Pacha of Bagdad has defeated the Persians, but
nobody can tell where the battle took place.
The new Hospodar of Wallachia, we learn, is not
rich, but an honest and pretty well-informed man.
The nomination of Hospodars taken from the Boyars
of Wallachia and Moldavia, of which the present is
the first instance, has excited some attention here.
As our affairs with the Porte will probably be ar-
ranged at the Congress, there is no occasion for the
sending of a Turkish Ambassador to the frontiers, to
open the negociations, as foreign Journals have stated.
Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alex-
andra, is in expectation of her accoucliement, at the
new Imperial Palace in Jelagin's Island.
