ST. PETERSBURGH, Simici 15.
NEWS PROM PERSIA.

Prince Suwarow, Lieutenant in the Guards, arrived
here on the 10th, with dispatches from General Paske-
witsch and the King of Ardibil. His dispatches con-
firm the satisfactory accounts in the last bulletins of the
army in Persia. The occupation of Ardibil, by the
detachment under Count Suchtelin, was effected with
little difficulty. The Prince Mahomed Mirza and
Dschangir Mimi, sons of Abbas Mirsa, at first intended
to defend the fortress, into which they had retired with
2,000 men, but two or three Congreve rockets thrown
into it, sufficed to bring about a capitulation, by which
it was delivered to our troops, with twenty-seven I
pieces of cannon, and all the ammunition and provi-
sions. As the Persian garrison had obtained liberty
to retire with arms and baggage, it dispersed in a disor-
derly manner on marching nut, except 1,00 European
disciplined artillery* who presented themselves to the
Commander of our troops, and received from him a
safe conduct to return home. Besides the considerable
magazines of gunpowder and military stores, we found
2,000 chetwarts of flout and biscuit, and great-quanti-
ties of wood.

As the country affords new re.ources for the supply
of our troops, Count Suchtelin, in order to torn them
to our advantage, has appointed a provisional Adminis-
tration at Ardibil, consisting of the chief persons of the
country, with Colonel Senawin, as Governor of Ardibil,
at their bead.

The effects of the happy change in the sentiments
of the Court of Teheran, produced by the prospect of
new hostilities, ate already felt. General Paskewitsch
has been informed, that part of the sums intended for
the indemnity to Russia has passed our advanced posts
at Miana. This remittance consists of three kw urs, or

1,500,000 tomans (24 millions of our money), which are
deposited for the present in the hands of Mr. M'Donald,
Minister to his Britannic Majesty in Persia, and are to be
paid to the Commander in Chief the moment the peace
is signed. The means to complete the indemnity were
also on the way, and had nearly reached Miami. Under
all these circumstances, the honourable and frank con•
duct of Mr. M'Donald has proved the perfectly good
understanding between Russia and Great Britain ; and
that Minister, without tatting put in the negociations,
bas not ceased to open the eyes of the Persians to their
true interest, and to exhort the Schah to accept, without
hesitation or delay, all the terms of peace that were
proposed to him by the Plenipotentiaries of his Imperial
Majesty—Haorburgh Papers, March 25.

Parochial Schools, on the same grand scale as that for
the Spanish and Italian Refugees.
The selection of Music on this occasion was entirely sacred,
the first part consisting of some of the finest pieces from Hair
ost.'s Messiah, and the second comprising several miscellaneous
pieces by HANDSS, MAYON, MOZART, Ste. After the Overture
to the Messiah, Basnsw sang " Comfort ye, my People," and
subsequently, " Deeper and deeper still," in his usual charming
style, now so well known and appreciated; in the latter be was
peculiarly touching and impressive. Miss STRPIIRNS had a
variety of pieces assigned het ; she was unanimously encored in the
air "'thou didst not kayo his Soul in Hell," which she sung
with the utmost sweetness. " Let the bright Seraphim," skilfully
accompanied on the trumpet by Hama, was also among her most
pleasing efforts; we are happy to say that we never heard this de-
set vedly favourite vocalist in better voice or to greater advantage.
Midanie PASTA gave a recitative and Mr from CINALOSA'S " It
sacrificio d'Abramo," also " Grades Agimus," with Wittman's

greatly" was extremely well sung by Miss BACON, who was equally
mecessful in an air from Judas Members. Mademoiselle Basis-
'MLA sang an Italian air by Rossini. Miss Wiiacinsox was un.
able to appear through indisposition. Mr. Tsaaait' Mr. Hear.
urns. and Master Nacnous, supplied her place in the pieces
10 which she was to have taken a part. Of the chords..
"meshing could be more perfect, more magnificent ; description must
Y in conveying an adequate idea of the effect produced in so spa-
doss and lofty a building, by the combination of nearly 200 voices
and instruments sounding as one powerful whole. The chorus,
" Unto us a Child is born," excited the greatest admiration ; the
" Hallelujah" and the "Hailstone" choruses, and "The Horse
astl.his Rider," were performed in the grandest style. Nearly a
thousand persons were present.

Private accounts from Constantinople state that a
nseetiag of the Divan was held on the 24th February,
at which the SULTAN was present. At that Council it
was determined that the Bosphorus was open to the'
vessels of all nations—the SULTAN affirmed that it had
never been closed. Eveq act of the Divan went to con•
firm the Treaty of Ackermann. It is said that the only
point of difference rema;ning is the payment of:the com•
pensation demanded of Turkey; and a hope is expressed,
that, in consideration of the destruction of her fleet, the

periods for that payment will be made for the con•
•enience of the Turkish Government. It is added, that
'Turkey has yielded the ground on which Russia fixed
her right to separate hostilities. •
