Sept. 3. Yesterday arrived a Mail from Holland. An Express from Count Munich brought Letters to Petersburg, dated the 15th of July, O. S. with Advice that he had altered his Design of passing the Nieper at Perevolachna, on the Frontiers of the Tartars of Bilogorod, by reason of the many Lakes and Marshes in the Road thither from Oczakow; and that the Tartars had destroyed all the Forage, and entirely ruined that Country: And that therefore the Count had thought it more advisable to march his Army along the Bog, and to turn off to the Left, and pass the Nieper at another Place. The Letters add, that the Count hoped to arrive in Time before Bender to attack the Seraskier's Forces there, before they were joined by the Grand Vizier, whose Army when formed for its Defence will consist of 52,000 Men.
