FRANKFORT, MAT 12.
Baron 'nu Anstell,. the Russian Ambassador to the
German Diet, presented on the 19th of April a note,
with the Manifesto of the Emperor of Russia, of the
2J of April, this year, arid also the Treaty concluded
with Persia on the 22d of February. In this note the
Ambassador says, " Thus an honourable treaty has ter-
minated a oar declared against Russia by a sudden
invasion, at the very moment when its relations with
Persia had all the appearance of friendship and reci-
procal coofi•lence. The Tre-ty of Tourkrnantcl,ai
secures to Russia a natural frontier cleat ly defined by
the courses of a river, and which consequently cannot
give room for any further dispute.
" This same Treaty has made Persia feel the conse•
quences of an unjast aggression. It imposes on it the
burden of an indemnity for the expenses of a war which
was its own work; it likewise offers the most satisfac-
tory pledges for the future; and the more so, as the
commercial relations between the two empires have
been regulated at the same time, accenting to-their
natural interests.' Thus it holds out, in every respect,
the prospect of a• sr and desirable peace—the most
ardent of the wishes of his Majesty the Emperor
Nicholas. I. •
" Nothing would have been more easy for Russia than
to obtain much gte,iter aditantages in the negociations
with Persia; hut, on the one hanclohe bravery of tire
troops has given additional glory to the Russian armies.,
at.d, on tfe-other hand, the Emperor has resolved that
his polcy should he distinguished by constant modera-
tion. Such will. be system of his Imperial Majesty
in all the circumstances in which he may be placed,
and the undersigned is ton mally to repeat this assurance.
Ile cannot doubt of the manner in which the present
communication will be received; and the amicable re-
lations which his Imperial Majesty has continual!
maintained with the most Serene Germanic Confedera-
tion, It ad him to hope that he will shortly have to trans-
mit an analogous answer to his Court.
" He thervote requests the Baron de Stralenbeim,
Minister of Hanover, President of the Diet ad interims,
to acquaint it v, ithout delay with the contants of this not*.
" He takes this opportunity to repeat to the BaTO2l
Siralenheiu the assurance, &C. &C.
(Signed) D'ANSTELL."

The first Sitting of the Diet after the holidays being
on the Ist May, the Baron Munch Bellingbausen, Pre-
sident, CGInIIIIIIII rated the above document, and•pre-
pared an answer, which was unanimously adopted, in
which the Diet expresses its satisfaction at the honour-
able peace which his Imperial Majesty has concluded.

ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 5.
Letters front Astrachan of the 27th March, say, that
after a few days mild weather, the ice in the Wolga had
broken up, the river having been frozen over for three,
months; the oldest inhabitants have no remembrance
of so severe a winter and such a quantity of snow as this
last season. The return of spring will eoable the
N.rmade tribes in the Government of Astrachan to save
the cattle they have left, the winter having carried off
glut numbers. In some places neither the Tartars nor
the Russians had any forage left. and had notthe local
authorities given permission to cut the young shoots of
the white willow to feed the cattle, no one would have
survived, When the shepherds climb the trees to cut
off these branches; the famished herds were seen to
assemble in a body round the trees, impatiently waiting
for the food offered to them, which they devoured with
greediness. _ _

MAY E.--The St. Petersburgh Journals give the ac-
count of ttle departure of the guards, the Emperor's
address to the soldiers, and the order for the levy of
recruits. They say nothing of the day of the Emperor's
departure.

BERLIN, MAT 6.
The revisal of our legislation is so far advanced, that
be outline of the civil code has been printed; it is not,
however," published ; the authors of it have proceeded
on the principle that the Prussian law requires some
modification, by which the publicity of judici.tl pro-
ceedings could be partly introduced into the practice
of our Courts. The increase' of the population of the
whole kingdom, from 1817 to 1827, amounted to
1,849,561 souls ; so that in the beginning of !.827 it
was 12,20,603. In the five western pros iivies, Coloine,
Dusseldorf, Coblents, 'heves, ani A.,s-la Chapelle, the
increase was.from 1,b89,360 to 2,11`d,616.5. `423.256.
