Grand Vizier Publishes Manifesto on Russian Persian War
In Constantinople March 4, the Grand Vizier issues a manifesto detailing Russia's 1722 pledge to attack Persia and protect Derbent and Daghestan. The Porte aims to restore Derbend to the Cham while pressuring the Russian Emperor to abandon conquests and avoid Christian discontent. Reports from Madrid, Hague, and Vienna cover provisioning for Ceuta, a failed English Lucia colony, and the Budapest fire with 200 killed.
