.11Unara.—The following account or Pirsia is ez-1
tracted from The Ilainborrgh Journal
The population of Persia, very touch diminished by
the civil wars of 1722 (the epoch of the overthrow of
the dynasty of Ismael Sophi) anti of 1743 (the year ofl
the assassination of the celebrated Schell Nadir) is '
estimated at twenty-two millions of souls. The num-
' bee of.provinces is 38. The reigning Sovereign
ascended the throne in 1797. He is called Peth-
Ali,Schah, and is about 53 years of age. Ile is
reckoned a good poet. Ile has 63 sons, and as many
daughters. His third son, Alolas Mirza, is destined
to succeed him, although Prince Ali Nlirza, who is re-
jected by this choice, is distinguished by great per-
sonal qualities. In the peace euneludetl with Russia,
the 12th of October, 1813, the Emperor Alexander
agreed to a stipulatioti by which both himself and his
successors are bound to maintain by force, ou the
throne, should it be necessary, the Prince who is des-
tined to succeed, in order that no foreign power shall
interfere lathe internal concerns of Persia. i. .

that it is astoniAsing they were not accepted.
The choice which his Majesty bas made of the per-
sonages composing the new Ministry, is a certain
guarantee that there will henceforth be a perfect ana-
logy and consequence between the regulating pri"el-
ples of a legitimate Monarchy, and the acts of the
flore(ntnent and the ailmini-'
