We find the greatest Part of our Troops are marching, with the utmost Expedition, towards the Turkish Frontiers. The Death of the Grand Seignior seems to be very advantageous to the House of Austria; for, as it will be impossible for the Turks to maintain a War against the Emperor and Russia, they will be obliged to restore to the Emperor all the Provinces that have been wrested from the House of Austria in former Wars, and we are informed that the Emperor is resolved not to renew the Truce until all these Provinces are restored. But, as the present Sultan is known to have an uncommon Inclination for War, our Court has taken the Precaution to put their Troops and Fortresses in the best Situation.
