Vilna. MARCO t.—We have now in. different '
Awes twenty thoofand recroits above oar peace of
tablifbanetst g and t 60,000 men are ready on differ•
est points to march at forty-eight boars notice ;
aset.ooo Raffia= are to he encamped before the s R
of, May. on the Willem and Southern frontiers of
the Rasa empire is Europe ; and to ma as dr-
enueltaaces require. In Turkey. befides formidable '
aaval armaments. so,ooo men are to be fent totheildo-
yea, and a more numerous army will march towards
Belgrade. 'Mete threatening meafures do not. how-
ever, alarm our politicians, who pretend that our
Court. and thole of St. Peterfburo and Conftanti.
'lapis, intend to offer an armed tiotittatiott, which (ball
fettle the affairs of Europe, prated the independence
of weak States, and let a boundary to the pretentious
of the powerful g and that country, either England
or France, which does not voluntarily fubferiVe to
the arrangement propofed, will be regarded as a
common enemy, towards whom the forces of the
armed mediators will be turned.
Since the arrival of a courier yeßerday from St.
Petal:burgh, the rumour is common in our diploma-
tic circle, than in cafe all negotiations for peace are
without elk.% an alliance, offenfive and defentise,
will be concluded between Außria, Ruffle, Turkey,
Sweden, Denmark and Naples, subith is to tole drag
imitslottly, and es castings rata as mad of she prefont war.,
It is raid. that both the Belligerent Puwcrs will loon
be infitrined officially on this fuhjeB.
You may depend upon it, that a numerous Ruffian
&et hab failed. or is ready to fail, from Odeffa. for
the treighbourluaid of Sicily, with tranfports. having
on board 25.000 land troops, moilly infantry.
The a6ivity of the French emilLries every where
upon the Ccntinent is furprifing. During this win-
ter, when the communication with England hasbeen
interrupted, the moR abfurd rumours have been cir-
culated by them. In laR January. at the fame time,
at Conflantinople, Vienna. Naple.. Rome, and St.
Peteribargh, were reported by them, ar as authentic
infortmatioth the conqueft of Ireland, one day ; the
capture of London another ; and the burning cf the
*kills fleet at Portfatouth, the third ; it is even
written from Confiantinople. that General BR V 111
gave a feafl in confequence of the conqueft of Ire-
land, and the annexation of that country to France.
Thefe rumours are not fpread without defign. The
ilea by the ignorant or reduced, of French power, is
kept up by them, whilft at the fame time they de•
predate the refources of Great Britain, and make na-
tians familiarize thenifelves with the opiaion that its
litigation is defperate. Prinffia has rewarded theta..
trial% of Baron GRIOnT a. the Hanoverian N .blemaii,
who promifed to pay, and figned lately, in the name
of the States of Hanover, the loan %hick France
oxtneeed from Hamburgh and other Hanfe towns.
He is sow appointed Prutlian Minato' in the city of
Hamburgh.
In a Peterfburgh nen (paper it is raid, that nest
rummer eight armies will probably br coilrfted in
Germany or tin its frontier,. viz. three Ruffian, three
Andrian. tne Prtigion, and ore French.
I•ttasestAtet. MARCH 4. V:c have lately been

74A11.01 3.—This morning, at
about nine o'clock, the Heffe Darmftadt troops from
the Caine, marched again into the city. About :a
o'clock it was befet with the ufual guard ; fo that all
is now brought on the old footing.

citation to the Landgrave of Heffe Darmftadt, by
which he is fummoned to appear at the Impel ill
Court, within two months, either in perfon or by
plenipotentiary, and there, by reallai of his a& Elf
hoftility, to hear and fee himfelf fenteneed in the
