The Petersburg report outlines a manifesto from the Russian Court reacting to the imprisonment of Mr. Bulgakov in Constantinople and the Ottoman declaration of war. It details alleged Ottoman breaches of the 1779 Aynaly Cavack arrangements and calls for satisfaction, noting failed protests and a pending conference as tensions rise.
The passage argues the Porte without term delay summoned M de Bulgakow to a conference on the sixth or sixteenth and proposed he sign an act annulling the Crimea Presqu Isle treaty. On his refusal, peace is broken and he is imprisoned in the Castle of Seven Towers. The Empress declares she must take up arms to defend her rights, appeals for divine protection and Christian prayers for victory in a just cause.

The passage notes Amsterdam magistrates preserving public faith during a time when Charles II bankrupted his subjects. It contrasts English breaches with Dutch trust, citing Voltaire’s lively account in his history of Louis XIV for readers seeking entertaining historical context.
