PETE KSB LJRGH) OCT. 7.—His Majesty the EM
PEZOP Of Russz having learnt that the Count De
',ILIA had quitted Warsaw ,with the intention of
going to Russia to meet some persons expelled
from England, he caused him to be informed,
that His Majesty having had relations 'with the
French Government, and that Government having
been recognized in Russia since ISOI, His Make,'
would not suffer any thing to take place in Russia
which would give reason to suppose that His Ma•
jest}• had altered his system.
The English Envoy io the Eledor of Hesse is
said, in Letters from Frankfort, to have suddenly
quitted Cassel on his return to London.
