Yesterday arrived a Mail from Holland. Letters from Nimirov bring Advice, that a Treaty of Peace is so unlikely to be concluded on between the Imperialists, Russians, and Turks, that there is at present no Probability of their agreeing on Preliminaries; for the Imperial and Russian Plenipotentiaries not only insist on the Uti Possidetis, as the Basis of the Negotiations of Peace, which the Turkish Ministers have declared unreasonable, and what they can never agree to, as being inconsistent with the Honour of the Grand Seignior; but likewise that the Porte reimburse them the Expences they have been at in supporting the War; that it release the Subjects of the Emperor and Russia that have been carried into Slavery ; and that sufficient Security be given against the future Irruptions and Insults of the Tartars.

Event Details

A Mail from Holland brought letters from Nimirov advising that a treaty of peace between the Imperialists, Russians, and Turks is unlikely, with no probability of agreeing on preliminaries. The Imperial and Russian Plenipotentiaries insist on Uti Possidetis as the basis, which Turkish Ministers deem unreasonable and inconsistent with the Grand Seignior's honor. They also demand reimbursement of war expenses, release of enslaved subjects of the Emperor and Russia, and sufficient security against future Tartar irruptions and insults.
