FOREION INTELLIGENCE.

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.
We have received (says the Globe, of Monday,) through
Mr. Waghorn, the Bombay Gazetie of May 21, which contains
an article on the aspect of affairs in Persia; of an alarming
nature. " Some say," we quote the article, " that Mr.
M`Neil has been ordered to quit the Persian court, or has
quitted it of his own accord, in consequence of certain pro-
ceedings derogatory to British interests, and inconsistent
with a due regard to British honour. It is reported that an
order has been received at Bushire by Captain Hennel from
Mr. M`Nell, for the former to leave that place and put him-
self under the protection of the British flag in the Persian
Gulf, at its head-quarters, at Bassadore." The writer then
alludes to a report that a body of Russians had entered the
Persian service for the purpose of maintaining the influence
of the czar in the councils of the shah. " The news, what-
ever they are, arro.ed. a few ,days ago by a buggalow from the
Persian Gulf. They must have,been considered of the high-
est importance, as a meeting hi council was held late on
Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of deciding what mea-
sures ought to be taken under such an emervency. * * '
The following vessels proceeded, with as little delay as
possible to the scene of action ; and we think the armament
cannot fail of striking a salutary terror, inasmuch as the for-
inidable Hastings is one of the number, au'l must inspire a
wholesome fear whenever her portentous and unseemly bulk
makes its appearance. The vessels are the Semiramis,. Hugh:
Lindsay, Hastings, Coote, Tigris, Snake, and the Grant, if she
can be got ready. There was a rFfAirt that the Berenice would
also be sent on the excursion, lust this appears to be without
foundation "

The Castellano of Madrid announces that the celebrated
Merino was on the day of the fete Dieu, with the troops at
Cirat, a small town on the banks of the Nigares, and in the

The Madrid Gazette of the 2(1 instant contains a dispatch
