If the expected war between the Turks and the Russians should take place, the latter will most probably send a strong fleet into the Mediterranean, in which case this country will probably be of particular service to the Empress, in assisting the fleet with such necessaries as they may want, also with officers and sailors; and possibly this consideration was not a small inducement to the forwarding of the treaty of commerce lately concluded between Great-Britain and Russia.

Event Details
The last advices from the Continent confirm the probability of an approaching rupture between the Russians and the Turks; and that the contest is likely to be a very bloody one, as the latter have been some time prepared secretly for a war, and manifest a disposition to risk their very existence as a people to regain their lost credit among the European powers. The Emperor, it is thought, will also be a party in this war, for which he is to have an extent of territory; his present possessions, extensive as they are, not being sufficient to satisfy his rapacious mind. If the expected war between the Turks and the Russians should take place, the latter will most probably send a strong fleet into the Mediterranean, in which case this country will probably be of particular service to the Empress, in assisting the fleet with such necessaries as they may want, also with officers and sailors; and possibly this consideration was not a small inducement to the forwarding of the treaty of commerce lately concluded between Great-Britain and Russia.
