.PEPSIA.--A mougss the gigantic
projects of French ambition, passage to
India through Persia has been prepared.
BY accounts we learn, that a military sur.
vey, by French officers, had commenced
from Constaplinople 10 The shores Of the
Indus; and lr,ter from Augsburgh in

French Interpreter, had passed through
