PETERSBURG (Capital of Russia) October 7. The rebellion is now at an end, and the tranquillity of this empire restored by the taking of the rebel Pugatcheff, who has been so long the disturber of it. The Empress received this agreeable and important news by a courier who arrived this morning from General Panin, with an account that the above-mentioned traitor had been bound hand and foot by some of the Cossacks of the Yaick, who were his adherents. These people informing General Panin of their having secured him, and of their readiness to submit, the General immediately sent Prince Galitzin to receive Pugatcheff. The people in the revolted provinces have since, upon General Panin's arrival among them, returned to their duty. The General is at present at a town called Pena, the first that declared in favour of Pugatcheff, the inhabitants of which have submitted and obtained pardon, except fifteen of the most culpable, who were hanged.
