VIENNA, Are it. 13.—The lag letters from Con-1
ftantinople Rate, that the rebel Alum t. Wacm as had
defeated the Chief of Arabia who advanced againft
him, and difperfed his troops. Laft Friday two
State Prifoners who had been arrefted at Suchard!,
where they gave themfelves out as French Envoys,
charged with opening a new negotiation with the
Porte under the prefent circurnftances, were con-
, veyed from this city to Stratburgh under a mili-
tary efcort. Several forged patTports, and above
a thoufand louis, which they had borrowed in dif
ferent places, under the above title, were found up-
on them. The hopes are Rill entertained here that
peace will be maintained between France and Eng-
land, efpecially as all the Courts to which couriers
have been difpatched have declared for neutrality,
and expreired an earneß with, that the general
peace of Europe may not be interrupted by any
new difpute. The propofal made that the Eng-
in (hall evacuate Malta, and that it (hall be oc-
cupied only by Ruffian troops, teems not to have
been adopted even at , Peter(burgh. A report
prevails here to-day,that the Honourable Array*
PAGET, the Engin Refident at this Court, will
return to England in a few days, and be fucceeded
by another who is not yet named.
Letters from Peterfburgh of the sth intl. fay,
Mould a war in Europe again break out, it is like-
ly to be more general than has hitherto been ima-
gined. It is thought that we 'hall be involved
with Sweden ; but then the caufe is fo trifling, that
one can hardly fuppofe it to be the only objet in
view. People of penetration fuppofe it to have a
conneftion with what is palling between England
and France.

quires confirmation.
His Imperial Majefly has quite abandoned hie

Letters from Semlin, dated March 24, rays,
" On the .6111 night of the new Pacha's arrival in
Belgrade, a refpeflahle Greek merchant, by name
Baczora, was by his orders put to death, for hay-
ing taken in pawn of a certain Bin-llafra, when
about to fct off fnr Con flantinople, three honorary
furs, (which he had formerly received of the Grand
Seignior and the Grand Vizier, as a reward for
fervices which he had performed them) as a fecu-
ritv for 5..0 piafters which Bin-Bafra owed him ;
and notwithflanding that this man allured him he
would remit the money from Conftantinople, by
which means the debtor had 101 l his good name.

high treaion, as (hewing a total difregard of the
favours of the Grand Seignior, and r,•nfequently
