RUSSIAN TROOPS.
We have the following important intelligence from Petersburg, by the last mail: "More of our troops are on their way to Persia, their object, it is said, is to put the Sultan Sach Nader upon the throne. While 56,000 of her forces encamped near Derbent upon the Caspian Sea, another corps of 40,000 are to march towards Asia Turkey. Gen. Suwarrow has only to pass to the left shore of the Dnieper, and enter Moldavia, to commence hostilities. All these interesting preparations have caused our Court to suspend, if not abandon the idea of sending 40,000 men down to the Rhine, to act against the French."
