The new concluded peace between the Porte and Russia, which appeared very suspicious, seems now to meet with some obstacles.
A letter from Vienna, of the latest date, says: We have just received intelligence from Semlin, that the Grand Vizier died on the road as he was going from the army to Adrianople. His body was carried to the latter place, where he was buried without the least honour paid to his dignity; which circumstance is very suspicious, and it is supposed he was killed by order. If so, the Sultan and Divan at Constantinople certainly will not give their assent to what he has done; we therefore expect to learn the particulars of it very anxiously.

Event Details
The recently concluded peace between the Porte and Russia, initially suspicious, now encounters obstacles. Intelligence from Semlin reports the Grand Vizier died on the road to Adrianople; his body was buried in Adrianople without honors, suggesting he was killed by order, which may prevent the Sultan and Divan from approving the peace.
