This important news, with the treasure and effeds they found in Cairo, btfides the inutility it has hitherto been to the Ottoman empire, will make a diffe rence in the Grand Seguior’s revenue of 15 or 16 piaflres per aim. PETERSBURG H, August 29. The difpatchcs with arrived by the last Courier fromCon flantinople, bring ho news of any change in the affairs between our Miniftcrs and the Porte.

We hate seen here k copy of a truly royal will, taken from the original, now set on a glazed frame in the inmoff closet of his Prussian Majelly, at Potsdam ; the general opiuion is, that »he Solomon of the north, will leave nothing else behind him as to the disposal of his worldly fconcerns. The following is a literal translation of the fame : “ I die in peace with all men, and I hope with God. Nature has bellowed on my itlultrious successor, prudehec and wisdom ; he. is indebted to time for experience and matu rity 1 I bequeath to him four hundred thousand valiant men, four hundred millions of florius, four hundred millions of solid resources, the hearts of a whole people, a brave, a ge nerous people indeed ! This last blessing has been conferred upon me, not so much on account of my military toils, as of my love of juftice* My honored fire has performed great things 1 the little I have done, may be much improved upon ; btit in the present juncture of affairs, the keeping all things in their present Hate is the utmost to be wiftied for.” The attention of the people of this capital is fixed on the troubles t»f Holland j and we are persuaded here, that the King of Prussia yvill not engage in this affair which is foreign to'him. The wife of Charles Cafoue, formerly a grenadier, and now a labouring man at Dampiere, in the tliocefe of Auxarre, was on the 25th and t6th of June brought to bed of four children, all alive at this moment; they were each of them 14 inches long when born ; the mother suckles two of them, and the two others are out at nurse.

General Splenger, who by command of the Prince and the States o; Guelders, sent the troops against Hattem and El bourg, has given to the Lords of the States a report, under his signature, of the effects of that expedition ; wherein he fays, “ by the favor of God, there was not any killed on either fide of the soldiers, or on that of the Burghers, and that the whole was conducted with all possible moderation.” The Baron de Goertz, Miniller of the King of Prussia and Envoy extraordinary to the States General, had a conference on the 18th, with M. de Leyden de Billerfwyck, the Stadt- Jiolder’s representative at the States of Zealand, and this week President of the Assembly of their High Mightinesses ; at Which tune he delivered his credentials. We are persuaded that his Excellency’s Embassy is to try all the means in his power, to effect a conciliation in favor of the Prince Stadt holder; he , s charged to declare-formally, that his mailer will not take upon him any other office than that of Pacific Mediator. We are at prefect ignorant of the contents of the letter delivered by the Count to the States General, which has been formally notified to their High Mightincffes, qji which they will deliberate, and determine on the answer to be given to it. It is believed the terms require no facrifice on the part of the contrary to the constitution of the States* to the hopor of the foverciguty, as well as the lurety of the in tegrent members of the Cupreine Thus this'letter, the contents of which cannotlas yet be known, can be looked upon in no other view, than as an overture to a speedy reconciliation of all the subsisting differences.

EDWARD TELFAIR. By his Honor s Command ■> J. MILTON, Secretary i GOD SAVE THE SfAfE!

And it was iefolved,Jthat the Grind Lodge is, and ought to be perfectly independent and free of any such foreign jurifdittion.
