S'nee ma Its!, intelligence or considerable politi-
aslimpi !tante bas reached this Presidency ; the Ho-
cruiser Aurora brought reports
nonrable Company's
~i the cession of Mu;dam and Wallachia to Russia
tr the Turkish Gbvernment, and the probability of a
-,..ar between Russia and Persia, from the raising and
evipment of very considerable military forces by the
lacier of these Powers. These repsts have been
;ace repeated by the arrival of the Country ship
(*rim Buz, from Bussora. They rest, however, on
:f.e authority solely, we understand, of private letters
team Persia, but we bel eve they may be relied on.—
tiey are events extremely probable, for the acqui.
si:ion of these provinces has long been an object of
...e Russian Government, and although the accessi,m
of such an extent of territory to the Russian Empire
may not be viewed with indifference by the rest of the
European Powers, we do not perceive how they could
prevent its taking place, and it may have been facili-
tated by some secret article or understanding in the
Treaty for the maintenance of the Christian religion
'tined by Austria, Russia, and Prussia.
EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED
o Hun. Company's ship (hurrah Hewitt,
Whampoa, November 3, 1816.
11 The Cornwall is going to sail immediately with
dispatches for England. I write these few lines, say.
ing we arrived at Whampoa on Tuesday, the 22d
C: ober, quite safe. The Viceroy of Canton had sent
le,ed again to the Mandarin of :be Junks, not to al-
kw us to move from the second bar, and Captain
Campbell being hart at this refusal, he determined to
tt:rte his way. Sa:ni day, the 19th October, was v)
he the day: we shorted our guns, and made all ready
fm proceeding, but the tide failing, we did not move,
AA the Tuesday following was the day fixed, but
the day before the Mandarin sent the Viceroy word
that we were determined to proceed, and it was US*
.N:y impossible torevent us, and he sent word to let
lac go, um:, we arrive .1 here -without interruption.

till the Ambassador has arrived, and . that is .not
known; but they are certain the presents are coming
back, and, ifiso, it is likely we khan have to take

bathe atce6ton about us, ,and I do not know hove
many pernms hale been baroboned for coming on
board, contrary to the order of the Viceroy. There
was one young man to Chineao), who knew the Cap-
tain, and was very attentive so us at the second bar,
and got every thing for us we wanted, unknown to
the Mandarin ; but as soon as the ship arrived at
Whampoa, he was batibooed in a most shocking
