- 1775 February 16, “Florens, d. 14 Januarii”, in Stockholms Weckoblad, page 3:
  Från Conſtantinopel berättas, at beſätningen af tre Ryſka orlogs-ſkep, ſom inluvit der i hamnen, blifwit af Turkiſka menigheten och äfwen af ſielſwa Janiſſarerne ganſka illa medfarne; hwilket likwäl icke måtte kunna förorſaka något upbrot emellan bägge Magterne.
  It is told from Constantinople that the crew of three Russian warships, which entered the harbor there, were treated quite badly by the Turkish congregation and also by the Janissaries themselves; which nevertheless must not be able to cause any upheaval between the two powers.
