/PRiVATIC CORRESPONDINCE.
The twenty-siz Deputies to the Cones, to be fur.
nished by the province of Estremadura, of which Lisbon
is the capital, were named in the course of the 3d, 4th,
sad stho viz.-15 the first day, four the second, and,
seven the thirteenth.

The desertion of the garrison of Almeida was induced
by a manoeuvre, which has been employed, although
'not with equal success, in other garrisons of our frontier
towns. The Governor of Almeida caused to be pub-
lished the copyof a dispatch which he said he had re-
ceived from Madrid, and in which he was directed to
'go and receive, at the frontiers, Don Miguel, who was
4rrisel at Madrid, and who was about to set ovt from
it to Lisbon ; it was with the expectation of this recep-
tion, that the garrison of Almeida marched out of that
-town; and it was not till it reached the frontiers that the
truth was communicated, and it was induced to com.
plete the desertion, by making the soldiers hope for
great rewards its Spain, and inspiring them with the
dread of punishment in Portugal.

FROM THE SIONITEUR UNIVERSEL OF THURSDAY.
FRANKFORT UPON ODER, OcToms 9.
The last letters from Moscow in announcing the first
successes of the Russians over the Persians, expresses an
inion that the war will not be of great duration, after
the vigorous dispositions adopted to compel the Count
of Teheran to demand peace. The army of the Don,
-under the Hettman Howaiski, was already twenty
wersts beyond Mosdock ; it amounts to about 18,000
Cossacks, and in a few days will be in line with the
army of Georgia. It seems that while the General in
Chief, Count Yermoloff, marches forward with 50,000
Then, a strong division will be dispatched to join other
troops, which will be landed from Sebastapol. The
Forces will act on the side of Mingrelia. A great im-
portance is attached to this flank operatio I, as it will
place the Persians in a very distressing situation, the ri
suit of which must be carrying the War into their
'own coontry.
The letters from Moscow, above mentioned, add, that
it is asserted, that when the negociations for peace take
place between the two States, Russia will particularly
insist upon the Schah paying not only the expenses of
the war, but also, that he should indemnify those Rus-
sian provinces which have experienced any damage in
'consequence of the excesses committed by the tribes in.,
cited to revolt by the agents of Petsia. The principal
of these agents is the Georgian Prince, Alexander, who
has quitted the Russian standard, to make common
cause with the Persians, and endeavoured tfr incite to re
volt the inhabitants of some cantons of the Caucasus.
FROM THE GAZETTE DR FRANCE OF THUOSDAY.
PETERSBURGH, Sarruassa 21:
News up to the 7th inst. has been received from the
• army in Georgia. The strength of the Persi4n army
was about 40,000 men. Abbas Mirza was raising the
Mussulman population of the provinces he had occupied
against Russia. His emissaries were at work on the same
object in the surrounding countries, exciting them to
revolt, in the name of the religion of Mahomet.
This invasion having taken place in the midst of
peace, has found our frontiers almost bare of troop:.--
. The posts which guarded them were too weak to resist
the Persian army, and have, in consequence, been ob-
liged to bear 'back as the enemy advanced. In conse•
quence also, of the peace, 'the army of Georgia was
scattered in its cantonments. General Yermoloff was
concentrating it in the neighbourhood of Tiflis, but, on.
account of the distance, the union of the different corps
requires time: and the Commander-in• Chief had not yet
quitted that town, although be had already assembled
hfteen battalions.

PARIS. OCTOBER la.
Reports have been received from difeient'parts of
Pomerania, Silesia, and" Posen, of the sickness which
prevails in those parts, in consequence of the inunda-
'lions of 1825, and the extraordinary heat of last summer.
It appears that these fatal effects are felt from the coasts
of France to the Baltic sea.
