CONSTANTINOPL E,Sept.ia
THE divan hath been continually assembled
for eight days past, but hath not determin
ed whether the Porte (hall enter into a war with
Russia. It is openly avowed, that the grand fig
nior is in want of money and Dipping: Never
theless the people continue to demand a war, ef
pecialy since it is known that the court of Peters
burg is desirous of re-eftablilhing the former
khan of the Crimea. In the mean time the
guards are doubled at the seraglio, where some
ads of violence on the part of the people and the
Janissaries are feared ; from whence it is easy to
conceive in what a critical situation we are here.
We have not only before our eyes the ruin of
40,000 houses confuted by fire, but very lately
the barracks of the Janiffaris were destroyed by
the fame calamity, as well as the vast magazines
which contained provisions for a month for the
whole garrison of this capital. This city con
sumes 96,000 measures of grain weekly; and as
the exportation of corn from Ruflia hath been
forbidden by way of the black sea, a famine is
greatly dreaded, the usual consequences of which
are despair and revolt, especially in the present
unhappy cirtumftances, when the minds of the
people are in a ferment.
PETERSBURG H, O&. 8.
Divers regiments are assembling at Mohilo,
and marching from thence successively for the
frontiers of Turkey, from whence it appears
that a war is expelled against the Porte.
VIENN A, Off. 16.
All the Emperor's troops, except the corps of
artillery, have received orders to hold themselves
in readiness to march ; and every diftri& of the
hereditary countries are ordered to supply the
public magazines with grain of all forts. By
letters from Peterfburgh and Berlin, which men
tion the number of Ruffian and Prussian couriers
passing and repaying since the 2d of this month,
it appears that peace cannot long continue in
the north.,
OH:. 19. The last letters from Conftantino
pN advise, that tranquility is far from being re
stored. The people strongly contend, that the
new khan of Tartary shall be supported against
the efforts of the court of Peterfburgh. Several
hords of Beffarabia and other Tartars having as
sembled, formed an army of 100,000 men, which,
it is said, have been beaten and put to flight by
a body of i;,ooo Ruffians.
HAMBURG H, October 22.
According to authentic advices, some great
changes have taken place in the dispositions of a
certain court, which, it is added, will produce
some very considerable alterations in the politi
cal system of Europe.
The last letters from Poland anounce that
affairs are treating of in the diet with the utmost
harmony and moderation.
P A R I S, OQober 20.
We are positively assured that, the Count d'-
I'Eftaing will have the command of the windward
inlands; he is set out from Madrid, from whence
;he will goto Cadiz to embark. M. de Barras
Iwill join him with 12 ships of the line, now fit
§ ting out at Brest with the greatest expedition.
: This squadron will take on board 4000 men ;
I four other regiments will embark at Toulon;
§ and it is added, that Count d'Estaing will also
; take four other regiments which are now at the
Icamp of St. Roch.
Letters from Brest advise, that a small squadron
will fail immediately to cruize in the chops of
the channel. The squadron will, it is said, be
furnished with balls of a new invention.
Oa. 24. The negociations for peace feera
to be broken up; the propositions made on the
part of the court of London, in the conferences
which have been opened, are rejected. The
contents of these propositions are not mention
ed.
Oa. % Last Sunday a deputation from the
clergy, with the cardinal de Rochefoucault at
their head, who a&ed as speaker, presented to
the King a free gift of 1$ millions, payable in
three years, to repair the loss which the nation
sustained on the 12th of April, and one million,
more towards the support of the widows and or
phans of the killed. The King seems highly
pleased with this instance of the patriotism of
the clergy.
LONDON, November r.
A private letter from Paris fays, that Meffieuri
Fitzherbert and Oswald, on the part of Great-
Britain, Dr. Franklin and Mr. Jay, for Ameri
ca, Count de Aranda, for Spain, and M. de Berk
fenrode, for Holland, have had another confer
ence with the French ministry, relative to a
peace, but some frefh obstacles were darted by
the court of France, on which they broke up
without coming to any determination, and the
Spanish ambassador, who was somewhat difpleaG
ed, immediately sent off dispatches to Madrid.
The letter fays, that there must be some warm
work before the French and Dutch will agree
to a peace, unless they have their own demand®
complied with.
Nov.. 5. On Friday an express arrived at the
India-house with advice, that about seven o'clock
of the evening before, the London and Oxford
East-India ships, which lay of Greenwich, were
driven by the violence of the wind from theic
moorings and about eleven o'clock of the fame
night forced on shore near Crawley's wharf at
Greenwich.
The men of war which failed from PortG
mouth on Friday last, are supposed to be gone
to the western islands, in order to search for the
Ville de Paris, as there is every reason to believe
the French have dispatched some ships to sea foe
the purpose of intercepting her, in confluence
of the information which they received from the
Ariel frigate, that captured the He&or, Cox,
on the 26th ofSeptember, in lat. 44 —<4, long.
30, which was four days after the Hedor parte
ed from her. Captain Cox fellin with the Villa
de Paris on the 19th of September, and kept
company with her till the 26th, when at ten o'-
clock that night they loft fight of her. She was
then 150 leagues to the westward of Corvo, the
preceeding day she hoisted a signal of distress,
but it being blowing weather, and the He&or
difmafted, she was not able to go near enough
to speak to her ; but they underltood that it was
Captain Curgenven's intention to make tha
Azores, if poflible. It is melancholy to observe,
that neither the Centaur nor Glorieux were in
company with her, therefore most probably they
are both foundered. The Ville de Paris did
not lose her masts during the hurricane, but rol
led them away two days afterwards.
The mifehiefs which the evacuation of the
British ports in America will occasion, begin to
operate already very powerfully; no remittances
haver been made from Charleftown for some
months, to the great injury of some of the com
^mercial houses.
