The last letters from Petersburg advise, that the unfortunate Pugatchef, the chief of the rebels, had undergone the first examination, in which he seemed very much upon the reserve, and not disposed to discover either the motives of his conduct, or who were his abetters and accomplices. His behaviour had more the appearance of enthusiasm than reason, because the little defence he seemed to make he founded upon his pretensions to the Imperial Crown. Upon the whole, it was thought he would not receive judgment till the Empress's return from Moscow, where her Imperial Majesty and her Ministers may probably get some farther insight into the transactions of the rebellion.
