London, . . . Aug. 21.  There are letters in town from
Marseilles, dated the 12th inst. N.S. by which we hear that
the Great Mogul is in full march with an army of bout 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 throughout his whole Kingdom to make levies,
obliging all men about 18, and who are single, to take up
arms. . .
