War_declared Amid Turkish Ceremony In Port Ha' Divan Chane

Yesterday's mail from Holland dated the 28th reports war declared against the Ruffians. In the Grand Vizir's Divan Hall the Horse-Tail was blessed by twelve doctors of the Law, followed by prayers and amens from the crowd. The Kiva Beg set the tail at the foot of the stairs, and eleven sheep were sacrificed with distribution of the meat. The pageantry continued over two hours, with marches to camps, banners, drums, and a grand display involving the Grand Vizir, foreign ambassadors, and Turkish troops. The narrative also covers ongoing dispatches from Milan and Vienna, Dutchy affairs, and port intelligence.
