THE new Grand Vizir arrived at Adrianople the Beginning of this Month, and took Possession of Mahomet's Standard with the usual Formalities; after which he writ to the Grand Seignior, beseeching him to recall Bashaw Bonneval from his Exile, and send him to the Army; which Request was immediately granted, and a Courier sent to Ciatamona in Natolia to bring back the Count. The Marquis de Villeneuve, Ambassador from the King of France, has received a Letter from the Grand Vizir, wherein that Prime Minister invites him to come to the Camp, in order to confer with him about Peace: To which his Excellency made Answer, that as he had not received the last Instructions he expected from Vienna, he could not possibly go to the Army; but that in the mean Time it would be proper to appoint the Plenipotentiaries that are to treat in the Name of the Grand Seignior. The Dragoman, or Grand Vizir's Interpreter, has given the Ambassador to understand, that if he should propose a Suspension of Arms, there was room to believe it would be granted. We don't yet know whether Russia is included in this Negotiation. Our last Letters from Smyrna confirm the Defeat of Sare-Bey-Oglou.
