From the Whitehall Evening-Post, October 4.

Yesterday arrived the Mails from France and Holland.

They write from Constantinople, that thro' the Porte's insinuating to Thamas Kouli-Kan, the Danger that the Ottoman Empire would be in, and consequently all the other Princes and States in Asia, from the Junction of Russia and the Emperor; and what weighed still more with him than the most powerful Suggestions, was, an Offer made by the Porte to yield up to him two or three neighbouring Provinces more than had been granted by the last Treaty; by these Means he has been induced to send an Ambassador to the Porte, who, since his Arrival, has had frequent Conferences with the Kaimacan.

It's reported, that the Persian Prince will supply the Porte with 160,000 Men.
