PERSIA, which had been long torn to pieces, and depopulated, by a violent com- petition for the throne, an event always unfortunate for the inhabitants of any Country, has at length begun to taste fome of the fweets of repofe. Happily for thofe people, Kerim Kan, one of the competi- ters, who is reprefented as a wife and Pative man, has for fome time had a ma- PUBLIC AFFAIRS of the year 1764. his management, reduced to fuch order, as encouraged between 15 and 20,000 Perfian families, which had retired to Bagdad, in the Turkish dominions, to re. turn home; we had advice last year, that Kerim Kan went to Tauris, to be crown- ed King. He deftroyed a great part of that city, in refentment of the fupport which its inhabitants had granted to fome of his rivals. He alfo feized four gran- dees, and fent them prifoners to Ifpahan, the capital. Their adherents got pof- feflion of that city, fet the noblemen at liberty, and were joined by Zakikam, Ke- rim's brother, who took up arms against him. Kerim, by a forced march, arrived tify it, quafhed the revolt, and obliged his brother to take refuge among the Arabs. According to latest accounts, Kerim was reigning in tranquillity, com merce was reviving, and the caravans were pafling frequently from Ifpahan to Bagdad. The counfels of the TURKISH divan have for a confiderable time been pacific; which appears to be a fign no lefs of wifdom than of moderation, confidering the prefent state of that great, nay, almost unwieldy, empire. Some internal difturbances happened within the year un der review, a thing not to be wondered at; but they were of little confequence. Among the connections of the Porte with other powers, it fhould be observed, that a treaty concluded with the court of Vienna, a confiderable number of years ago, expired in August 1763; that the Jatter, by means of her minister at Conftantinople, made feveral propofals for getting it renewed; and at length received for anfwer, that, in order to fuch renewal, it was necessary to deliver up to the Grand Signior, by way of hostages, fome froer-towns in Hungary, particularly thole of Cronstadt and Porto Ferraio. We need not doubt but that this was little relifhed. Betide advices from time to time, that the Kam of the Tartars, at the head of a great army, was advancing toward the eaftern frontiers of Poland, there were alfo accounts of bodies of Turkish troops inaking movements in Walachia and Moldavia. Upon this the court of Vienna was alarmed, or at least pretended to be fo; and therefore gave orders for aflembling an army of obfervation in Hungary. It was thought by many, that the motions of the Turks and "Tartars had the affairs of Poland, afterward to be taken notice of, for their object. At length the Kam of the Tartars was fent for to Conftantinople, a thing which is commonly looked upon as a prelude to war; but he was feized by the way, and degraded from his dignity, to which another of his own family was raifed. It is not at all improbable, that the courts of Vienna and Versailles endea voured to draw the Porte into their views with respect to what was on the anvil in -Poland; and indeed we had feveral advi-ces of the Ottoman miniftry being of different fentiments on that fubje&: but the influence of the former Christian power has long been fmall at Conftantinople; and that of the latter, once great, has much declined fince the two came fo clofely connected. We may at fuppofe, that the King of Pruflia, as an uncommon inftance of Turkill defcenfion, had his court honoured a minister from the Grand Signior, public character, for about half a preceding the 2d of May last, and way of thinking in regard to Poland fall in courfe to be mentioned, have more weight in the divan than the powers just taken notice of. Rec cal reprefentations were made by courts of Conftantinople and Peterib by the former with refpect to the mo of Turks and Tartars near the con of the Rulian Ukraine, by the latte relation to the long stay of fo many fians in Poland. Both fides gave toft friendly answers, and neither of them tually disturbed the other during the y though towards the end of it the T were indeed faid to be advancing fart by flow steps. The throne of Poland became va on the 5th of October 1763, by the d of King Auguftus III. who was al lector of Saxony in Germany; and Archbishop of Gnefna, in virtue of office of Primate, took upon him the miniftration of the government. new Elector of Saxony, eldest son of Auguftus, immediately wrote a circ letter to the Polish nobility, folici their intereft for conferring the cr upon him. His pretenfions would b been fupported by the courts of Vie and Verfailles, fo far as their influe could go; but all views that way w cut off by his death, which happe within little more than two months af It was thought, that those two courts r turned their eyes to another prince of houfe of Saxony, with which they b had clofe connections, namely, Char the late King's fon, who had been for out of his duchy of Courland; and t there was a confiderable party in Pola which favoured their scheme. Their I perial and Royal Majefties of Rullia a Prufia caufed declarations to be made the Prince Primate and Senators, inpo ing, that they would be much pleafed fee the Poles chule one of their own gra dees, and not any foreigner; to whi purpofe it was faid the Grand Signior a gave hints.
