Mtfcvw, April ax. The fate of the fa
mous Count Tottleben is at length decided. The
council of war had condemned him to death, buc the Em
press, according to her usual magnanimity, and in confidc
jation that his bad designs did not produce any pernicious
effefts, has been pleafedto spare his life, confirming, how
ever, that part of his sentence which deprived him of all his
employments and honours, and injoining him never to set

If'arjaw, May 7. We have an account from Koninia, (a
domain belonging to the cup-bcarer S/ymowflcy) of the
death of a woman named Marguerita Krahowna, aged 10$
years. After having been twice married, she married again
•* the of 04, to Raykul, who vry icc, by
whom fne had three children, two Doy and a gir.*. Their
father, now actually 119 years old, is still vigorous, and en
joys a perfeft heakh. ‘fnough moft of these particulars may
appear fabulous, we are allured that they are all attested by
the church registers. The children, however, arc said to

milk and the crumb of bread.

the notaries, or the papersand books of accounts of the oifi
