We are assured from an authority in which we have reason to confide, that all difference between the Russians and Turks are finally settled, by the ratification of 81 articles, presented by the Court of Petersburg to the Porte. An account of this, it is said, was received at the Secretary of State's Office on Saturday last.

A letter from Petersburg says that the Empress has given orders that her troops do not enter into any of the territories belonging to the Turks, on account of the plague raging almost in every part of that country; and this is one reason why hostilities did not commence before, for fear her army should catch the infectious disorder.
