By the Lord Hyde Packet, Capt. Goddard, who is arrived at New-York in 7 Weeks from Falmouth, we have the following Advices.

PETERSBURGH, September 7.

The following is an extract of a private letter from Count Tottleben, dated from Cotatis the 27th of July: "After I had overcome the most unthought-of plots and treacheries, and had brought the body of men intrusted to my care by the Empress, even by force, together, out of the mountains of Caucasus and from Tiflis to Russia, I had the good fortune not only to take all Georgia and its fortresses, Annaleri, Touchet, Impole, Goreuram and Alexis, from the deceiver Heraclius and lodged Imperial troops in Tiflis, but have also plundered the Turkish fortresses of Scheripa, Bagdad, and Cotatis, all of which were well provided with artillery, and have made the three Pashas, and many others prisoners of war. The Czar Salomon Imoellen, the patriarch, and all the inhabitants of this extensive dominion, as also Georgia, have taken the oath of fidelity and subjection to her Imperial Majesty. I have now but three short days journey to go to proclaim the glorious name of my illustrious Sovereign in the Black Sea."
