Prisoners Parade through Petersburgh after Crim expedition
Yesterday the mail from Holland reports Bashaw Aba Becker and the Aga of the Janissaries Chadi Mahomet taken prisoner at Perecop by Count Lafd and led into the city with about 30 domestics and 55 trophies including colours from the fortress. They passed Green-Bridge to the Empress’s Winter Palace while the detachment displayed trophies. Orders were issued in Peterhof for 13 regiments to prepare for Hungary, totalling over 21 000 men, and Swedish Minister M de Nolen discussed a recent subsidy treaty with France to maintain good relations with Sweden. The King of Sardinia reportedly did not fully join the treaty between the Emperor and France, adding reservations on guarantees.
