From Venice, February 20.
Our Letters from Constantinople doe advise us, that the
Ministers of the grand Seignior doe now again seem very much
to encline to an Accommodation with the Republick, as appeared
at last Audience which they gave to our Secretary
Ballarini, when after the debating of divers propositions,

disturb that great City, than by making spoile of the Country

homeward for Modena.
