Resuming his journey on the 7th of August, Mr.Perkins passed on rapidly to the Arras, which divides Georgia from Persia.

Here he was needlessly and wantonly detained six days, for his passports.

The hardships resulting from such treatment, with other causes, had now brought Mrs.Perkins into a very critical state of health.

As a last resort, Mr.Perkins addressed a letter to Sir John Campbell, British ambassador at Tabriz, describing their situation, and enclosing his letters of introduction to that gentleman.

Scarcely had he crossed into Persia, three days after, although his distance from Tabriz was not less than a hundred miles, when he was met by a courier from the ambassador, with a letter written in the kindest terms, and the duplicate of another which he had procured from the Russian ambassador to the officials on the frontier, with a view to put an immediate stop to Mr.Perkins' detention.
