VENICE, Sep. 5. By the 1 aft Advices from Conftanrinople we are informed, that the Conduct of the new Grand Vizier is quite oppofite to that o f - hisPredecefibr; either through Policy, or l i vm his natural inclination, he appears outwardly pertedly confornj- able to the Sentiments of the Jantflaries. He advi es War, not merely with a View to keep them employed, but upon a Principle of Neceflity, in order to preferve that martial Spirit in the Nation, which might be enervated by a longer Peace. Upon this Pretence he has engaged the Grand Seignior to affemble an exraordinary Divan, to decide th s important Queftion. Nevenhelefs, as feveral Bnfhaws of diftant Provinces are to affift at this Divan, and as it'will take up a great deal of Time for them to repair toConftantinople, it is fufpe& ed that this is an Artifice of'the new Grand Vizir's.' to pacify the prefent Rage of the Janiflaries, in order afterwards to" tru-. ke it appear doubtful . what S. ep he in. ends to take. People are the more apt to lock upon this to be the . Cafe, beqaufe the Kan of the Tartars has not been invited to • this Divan, as is ufual when. the. Porte is going to declare War, " ' WA- RSAW, Sep. 2. Some Advices from the Frontiers oc Tur. ky, mention a terrible Earthquake, which has deftroyed above icoMofques, befides a much greate r Number of Houfes in different Parts of the City of Adrianople and that feveral of the Inh-.; b tanrs were burled in the Ruins.

In Cunfequence of. an Eftablifhment for a Military School for the Education of young Noblemen, it is regulated, that the Sons of Officers, who died in the .

EXTRACT, of A private Letter from C o t t m . Aug. 30. " Three Days ago the Troops encamped' in otir Nei'gh- • bourhood per& rjnid a grand Exercife, the Defign of which was to re prefent an innocent Appearance of a-, grand Attack, which might exhibit to the Spectators the Skill and Addrefs of the Troops in one of the principal Operations of War. But very unfortunately they adted their Part with a little too much Ardour, and inftead of the Shew o- f an Attack it proved a real One. The two Regiments of Hildbottrghaufen • and Hal'er were polled very advamageoudy upon a riling ' Ground,, of which the Regiments of the'Archduke Charles, of Neppcrg, Wolfenbuttel,. Botta, Gaifrugg, and Sincere were ordered to difpoflefs them. This they executed with a very high Proportion of Heat, and npt without an late/ mixture of Malice; for, in march ing to the Attack, fome of the Soldiers picked up little Stones, odters clapped in a handfill of Gravel, and many pulled, off their Buttons, and put them in, their Pieces, by which, upon the firft Difcharge, there were a., great many killed. This induced the- other two Regiments, or rather forced; ihem,. to aft in the fame Manner; fo that the Difpute became ferious and obftinate, infpite of all that the Generals could do to part them, which. could not be acc. omplifried, till a. heavy Shower of Rain and the coming on of Night obliged them to defift. A- Captain of the. Regiment of Neippergwas lulled,. feveral other Officers wounded, and, as yet, we have no diftindt Account of the Lofs amongft- the private Men. " - E D I N. B U R G H.
