WARSAW, March 14. Since the arrival of two Couriers to the Russian Ambassador here, the hopes of a Peace seem to Vanish, and it is feared to be further off than it was thought to be some Time ago. A foreign Court seems much inclined to favour the Peace, but the Proposals of the Russians are very difficult to be accepted. By the Preliminaries, Moldavia and Walachia are to be ceded to the Turks; the Crim Tartars and their Neighbours are to be Declared a free People, exempt from all Protection, and their Fortresses are not to be occupied by Foreign Troops. Turkey is to pay the Russians for Expences of the War 80 Millions of Lions Dollars; but Russia would not accept these Preliminaries, and has sent Lieut. General Elmpt with a Body of 12,000 Men, which joined to General Romanzov's Troops, who are near Slonim, Breze, and Pinsk, will Reinforce the Russian Army considerably. Poland is also Comprised in the Preliminaries : The Confederates are to put an end to all their operations; the Nation is to hold a free Diet, without being Troubled by any Foreign Troops; and the Government of the Republick is to be Regulated and Established on a durable Foundation. The new Ensign of the Prussian Order of the Black Eagle, which Lukawski took from the King in the Night of the Third of November, has been Remitted by the Bernardines of a Neighbouring Convent, into the hands of a Priest, who returned it to his Majesty.
