London.  Aug. 24.  There are letters in town from Verseilles
dated the 12th instant, N.S. by which we hear, that the
great mogul (pursuant to a convention lately made between
him and the Grand signior, is in full march with an army of
130,000 men to attack on his side, the new sophy of Persia,
who appears very uneasy on this occasion, and has ordered
the drums to beat through his whole Kingdom to make levies,
obliging all men about 18, and who are single, to take up
arms.  This enterprize of the mogul is favoured by some
malcontents in the Eastern part of Persia,. . .
