Advertising -- History
These Waywodes had a meeting in pursuance of these resolutions: “For
chusing an appointed place to establish a general magazine, to which
every person might bring whatever he possesses superfluous, and
deliver it to the Directors of the Stores. The Troops of the Republic
shall be provided for out of this general deposit of the country,
after which what remains will be sold to the Russians at the market
price, agreeable to the declaration of Count Romanzow, upon the entry
into Poland.”
Count Romanzow has taken possession of Talzyn, nine miles from the
frontiers of Turkey, and the army encamped in Poland under his command
will winter in the neighbourhood of that place. The Waywode of Russian
Lithuania, Count Petocki, has established his general quarters at
Mohibow. This patriotic vigilant General visits all the advance posts
in person.
By accounts from our frontiers we learn that eleven commanders who
served in the last unsuccessful attack upon Kinburn, and to whose
imprudence the failure of this enterprise was attributed, have been
executed; their heads were cut off and exhibited at the gate of the
seraglio, upon spears.
_Frankfort, Dec. 14._--On the 11th of this month the reformers
established in this city have got permission to follow the duties of
their religion in private houses, until their churches shall be
finished.
The Elector of Mentz has ordained for the future that Lutherans shall
be capable of civil employments, and he has nominated as Counsellor of
the present Regency Graberg, a Lutheran Doctor. This is the first
example of this kind since 1709.
_Constantinople, Nov. 10._--On the 30th of October there was a grand
meeting of the principal ministers for examining the Dispatches that
were brought by two couriers, the one from Vienna and the other from
Paris; the result of which is that the Porte answers, “That the
restoration of a durable peace must be impossible as long as Russia
keeps possession of the Crimea, and the chief article of the
preliminaries must be that Russia do consent to the re-establishment
of the new Chan in all the rights of sovereignty which that prince may
claim upon Little Tartary by virtue of his Highness’s proclamation.”
_Paris, Dec. 25._--The Commissioners appointed for the Edict of the
Protestants have not as yet concluded their business, although they
are very assiduous.
Mr. de Calonne during his administration created sixty offices of
stockbrokers for transacting financial business, at the rate of
100,000 livres each, who had individually a salary of 5000 livres. It
is in agitation to augment these offices to 100 by adding 40 more.
_Rotterdam, Dec. 25._--Friday morning the Commissioners of his
Highness the Stadtholder arrived here, for changing the regency: they
landed with discharge of cannon and a great concourse of people; they
were complimented by the burgomasters.
