tols:•44l,hould, after all, have been put to death, if Abbas

the Persian Ambassador, had not saved me.
I:toronpow arrived in Persia, broken down in constitution,
robbed: t,f everything I had, and with a debt of 6,000 tolas
(t 45.00), which I am to pay to the brother of the Nayib
Ajulopi,Summut Khan, who is to accompany me to Te-
hertmo. You thought that £4,000 might be collected for

well*;-it ;not, I shall be obliged to go to prison in Persia.

togrtctct:Eugland, and the Nayib has forced me to pro-
nA.sfB4q,pay the expenses of that Ambassador out of the

ciaridthe'Turcomans of 'Mawr and Saraklis against us—

(NOTE BY CAPTAIN GROVER )
Lteptenant Wyburd, of the Indian army, is another
didOwitic victim. This talented officer was sent on a
Bigtr§t4ipkonnatic mission to Khiva in the year 1835, and
httikrieNtax since been heard of. This unfortunate man, it
igigrO to state, was not altogether abandoned to his fate
14,414eBritish Government, for, in a letter written to me
ittptr4 Aberdeen's direction, I find it stated, that on
(4,oo4lf.toddart's being sent on his mission to BokLara
itiAliakyear 1838, he was instructed to inquire after Lieut.
Wylit,o4., I have not, however, been able to learn that
11z r-leffgrt,bas been made in his behalf since that time. I
ditemetcl.pr, Wolff to obtain all the information he could
ccoafintrilipg this wretched man, and to purchase his free-
dookosk}uld he be in slavery. The Doctor says, he has
bten mwdered at Bokhara ; but it remains to be seen on
wkackvitlence that assertion is made

. . .
I linatadvised to state an interesting circumstance that

tinhgrohl:Doctor's mission has not been entirely useless.

F:CTAL DUEL.—ti fatal duel has just taken place in the
en ions of Versailles between two pupils of the Pulytech-
nictiSebool. One of them was killed, and the other took
Milt: declaring his intention to surrender himself when
thettime. came for him to take his trial. The seconds,
and the surgeon who attended them to the ground, were
attested at Versailles, and brought to Paris on Friday.—

IgTirmus OF PANAMA.—The long-projected idea of
carrying on the correspondence between Europe and Peru,
across-the Isthmus of Panama, is, it is said, about to be
realised. It' is proposed that three fast-sailing vessels,
commanded, shall be appointed to convey the letters,
passengers, and merchandise, between Callao and Panama,
teaching _every vos age at Payta. By sending the des-
patches- from • Europe to Chagres, and thence across the
istiutagss-ta be again embarked from the point at which
tltitnew packets arrive, it is expected that they will reach
theacitY of Lima in sixty or seventy days from the time of
theirildeparture, whereas it requires double the time for
ttftixtrict arrive at their destination by the passage round
Cra.pe (Mirth

Ni VIGATION or THE NILE.—The Peninsular and
Oriental. Company have sent out a beautiful new iron
stehmer of seventy horses power, called the Delta, for the
navigation of the Nile and the conveyance of passengers
tO:and from Cairo. She arrived at Alexandria on the
2tkhult., having performed the voyage from Dartmouth
IrctWenty-eight days, and drawing only twenty-four inches
vratel.:r This powerful steam company has already two
Butalriver-steamers on the Nile, the Cairo and the
Littat,tvt'cir the same purpose, which the Egyptian govern-
trartrt,'bY especial privilege, allowed to be placed there at
atittre when the overland route to India required much
assistance-, and Egypt possessed few means of transport
for passengers at her command. The case is now widely
difiefent,•and the Nile will very soon be able to offer ho-
nottrahle rivalry to the Rhine or Rhone. It is said, how-
eyrrls that the Pacha persists in restricting the internal
navixation of the Nile to boats of his own country, and
thartite Delta must therefore be sold or sent back to this
country.
