Speeches were delivered, appealing to the spirit of justice and liberty. Three prominent reactionaries were assassinated on Saturday. Sipahder’s life was attempted on Sunday. Two thousand Russian troops are thirty miles southward of Resht. Two hundred arrived at Kazvin. Four hundred are near Teheran. The Russians disarmed the Persian militia at Resht, i and occupied the telegraph office.
