A BRIEF ACCOUNT 
SLATE OF PUBLIC AFAIES 
EUR @eaBais 
os 
Russia. 
GYMPTOMS of hoftility have lately 
appeared from this ambitious court to= 
wards the Porte, which, it is feared, may 
ftill farther embroil the powers of Europe. 
Itis even reported, that the Ruffian ar- 
mies are In motion, and that hoftilities 
have actually commenced. 
SWEDEN. 
Great preparations for war are going 
on in this kingdom, which are underftood 
to be direéted againft the ambiticus de- 
figns of the court of Ruifia. By the ap- 
pointment of general Pichegru, as am- 
baffador from the French republic to the 
court of Sweden, it is apparent, that a 
good ~underftanding fublifts between 
France and Sweden; and it is, perhaps, 
not an improbable conjecture, that a fyf- 
tem of hoftilities may already have been 
agreed upon. 
HoLLanD, 
Peter Paulus, the firft prefident of the 

new Batavian republic, has died fince his 
appointment to that office ; and the con- 
vention have decreed, that he had not 
ceafed to deferve well of his country. - 
Citizen Peter Leonard Vande Kafteele, is - 
chofen prefident in his place. ‘The con- 
vention have begun to adopt vigorous 
meafures for the improvement and aug- 
mentation of their navy. Two fleets have 
actually failed in the interval of only a 
few days, and fitted out with a degree of 
vigour and fecrefy, that do honour to the 
perions in power. 
A proclamation has been publifhed, ad- 
drefled to the citizens of the Netherlands, 
in which are the following pafiages : 
“ The unjuft and deftrutive war, in which 
we have, been involved by the Britifh mmiftry, 
cannot but attract our whole attention. Itis: 
the firft obje& of our folicitude, that by our 
courage and prudence in she conduct of it, we 
may procure an honourable peace, firmly efta- 
blith our freedom, and maintain the independ— 
ence
