NAPLES, Novnuess S.

The Journal of the Tom Sicilies, of the four last days,
contains part of a Royal Decree, relative to the manage-
ment of the woods and forests in his Majesty's dominions.
The part hitherto given by the Journal consists of seven
chapters, divided into 124 articles.
" In this new law," says the Editor, " a monument of
the wisdom and generosity of his Majesty; we must ad-
mire the manner in which the difficult medium is pre-
served, between the highest respect for private property
and the greatest possible public advantage. Its pre-
amble *ill say more than any comment. Seneca said,
let the lass command, and Cicero, let the late persuade.
Our good King has resolved that this.last law shall per.
'.Wade and command at the same time."

The National Gazette published, gives to-day the
following article :
In consequence of the extinction of the eldest branch
of the house of Saxe Gotha Altenburg, the territories of
that branch, have been divided among the three existing
branches of Saxe Hildburghausen, Meiningen, and Co-
burg, by a preliminary convention, concluded on the
11th of August, 1826, by the Commissioners of the
three houses, and is the mediation of the King of:
Saxony, and since ratified by the Dukes, with a few
alterations:

1. Sue William retains all iu possessions, except Bailiwicks,
which are already in the midst of the territory of Coburg to which
they are now ceded. On the other band, hiehalogen receives large
additions.

I. HiWhit/hewn cedes all its possessions to Meiningen and
Coburg, and receives the whole of Altenburg, except a part, which
is added to Meiningen.
3. Saxe Coburg Saalfeld, now called Saxe Coburg, and Gotha,
retains the Principality of Coburg, damps a district, wick comes to
lleiningen, and obtains the Bailiwick of Konigsberg Sonnenfeld
from Hildburgbausen, and the whole Duchy of Gotha, except the
Bailiwick of Krankhfeld, which falls to Meiningen. Cabals, of
coarse, retains the Principality of Lichtenberg.

The following is a comparative view of the former
and present extent of the Duchies s

French Papers to the 25th instant, and the Ettik of
Saturday, have reached us. They contain advices from
Taeste,.which state that GOURAB had been massacred
by his own soldiers in the Citadel of Athens, in conse-
quence of their discovering that he maintained a cor-
respondence with the Turkish Commanders. They
immediately filled his place by electing Captain Gat.'
lOTTI as their Chief. The Greek Government bad is-
sued a Decree forbidding isolated ships to visit neutral
vessels, and confining that right to the naval divisions
belonging to the nation. This Decree was intended to
diminish the possibility of piracy under the pretence of
public service, and :hews on the part of the Greek Go-
vernment a laudable anxiety to remove all grounds of
complaint against their Navy. The Greek-fleet which
had retired to the islands to repair its damages; had
again put to sea as soon as it was known that the new
Egyptian expedition had sailed. A fresh assemblage
of forces had taken place at Salamis, to go to the relief
of Athens, and between five and six hundred men bad
succeeded in throwing themselves into the Acropolis.
IBRAHIM Etas*, according to these advice:, was en-
camped within a few hours march of Corinth with only
five or six thousand men, but that, place gave no sign
of an inclination to submit.

An article from Frankfort auerts, that most of the
German Universities are to be removed from the towns
which they have hitherto rendered illustrious, to the ca-
pitals of the various countries to which they belong.
The last accounts from Groningen give the result of 1
the census of the dead since the breaking out of the
dreadful disorder which still continues its ravages.—
The number is 2,098. and it was apprehended would
become still more considerable. With a few exceptions
all the inhabitants had been attacked more or less se.l
verely with the disease.

Mr. WILLOCK, our Charge d'Affaires, arrived at the
India House on Saturday, with dispatches from the
Persian Government, dated the 19th September. It is
confidently asserted that these dispatches, as well
as the information communicated by Mr. WILLOCIC
himself, represent the origin of the war to have arisen
from the oppressive and tyrannical conduct of Rus-
sia, while its progress had been uniformly favour-
able to the Persian arms. If these facts be as repre-
sented, they are directly opposed to the Declaration
promulgated by Russia, and to the accounts trans-
mitted by General YEastoLovir from the frontiers of
Georgia. In thy tormer, all the blame is cast upon the
perfidy and intemperance of Pa ►ia ; in the latter, every
action bet% CM the two armies had terminated in the

discomfiture of the Persian troops. 13e this as it mat
however, one thing is certain, that Persia cannot, uo.
aided, maintain a serious struggle with her gigantic
enemy. Hence the application, which, as it appears,
has been made to our Government to mediate between
the belligerents.
