Ferment and diplomacy amid Danube campaign tensions
August 9 dispatch from Warsaw reports the near collapse of Ottoman defense as Romanzow crosses the Danube with 50,000 men and seizes control of supply lines. Grand Vizier’s forces are cut off at Silistria while Kaminski defeats a 28,600-strong relief column. Rosters of troops, wagons, and field commanders are cited as mutiny risks grow. An accord to renew negotiations fails, leading to a partial treaty imposition. An ordinance later lifts spirits restrictions on distilling from corn.

Treaties of peace between Russia and the Porte outlined
Extracts detail the 28 article peace terms signed by Prince Repnin and Efendi and confirmed by Count Romanzow and the Grand Vizir. Russia gains free Black Sea navigation and fortress of Affoff, plus Jenikale Kerzoff and Kinnboro passes. Crimea becomes independent under Russian protection. The Sultan acknowledges the Empress and Russian gains include delivery of Turkish artillery to the Russian army. Other articles emphasize limited compensation and ceremonial provisions. A letter from Paris notes discussions on restoring the Edict of Nantes and a Warsaw dispatch claims the Russian Empress pledged no further Polish encroachments beyond treaty.
