A Relation Extraordinary Contained in a LETTER from LINTZ, Concerning another great Victory over the TURKS. January the 19 th'. 1683/4. ON Saturday the 15th. instant arrived in this Court the Prince Lubomursky from the King of Poland, whom he accompanied at his departure from Hungary, to go to Cracovia: He hath told the Emperor, That his Majesty of Poland and the Senate being ill satisfied with the Polonian Troops, who had without orders quitted the Quarters that had been assigned them in Hungary, the Senate have ordained, that those Troops should not have Winter-quarters allotted them within the Kingdom of Poland; and that they should be only permitted to enjoy a bare reception within the Country, to punish them for their disobedience. He adds likewise, That the Count Humany, a great Lord of Hungary, who has latelyjoyned himself to his Imperial Majesty, having requested a Polonian Regiment to quarter on his Estate, Count Teckley had caused a part of them to be attacked, and had put them to the Sword; and that afterwards Count Teckley had sent to the King of Poland to excuse the matter, saying, that the thing was not done by his order, and that he had no knowledge of it: Unto which his Majesty of Poland (who was not satisfied with his excuses) answered, that he would speedily treat him according to his merits, and would no more see Count Teckley's Deputies, but commanded them immediately to retire: And that as soon as the Count Sherfenbergh shall be arrived in Poland, to treat and adjust with that King what measures are sit to be taken against that Rebel, it is not doubted but that there will be affectual courses taken to that purpose. By the manner of the King of Poland's proceed, and by all that Prince Lubormusky has reported, it may be evidently seen that his said Majesty acts very cordially, and that he is firmly resolved with all possible vigour to prosecute those intentions. We may add to this, the important News which comes from Holland, which imporrts, That after the Hollanders and some Loyal Cossacks had made themselves Masters of all the Champion Country in the ukrain, and had possessed themselves of the Frotresses there, the Wallachians and the Moldavians had put themselves under the protection of Holland; whereupon the Turks and Tartars were commanded by the Grand Signior to take vengeance of them by an Invasion, which they could not execute, by reason the Christians, instead of staying for them, went to meet them, forcing all the passages, and vigorously attacking them, have killed more than 30000 on the place; and having wasted 50 Leagues of their Country with Fire and Sword, they have taken the Fortress Bialgorod, and the black Sea, with two other Strengths thereabouts. They have killed above 80000 persons of all Ages and Sexes, and have taken a very rich Booty, and made an infinite number of Slaves, besides the delivery of every many Christians from Slavery. The good fortune of the Christians would have it, that the Infides having passed the River Niester, the Bridges whereof they had broken to hinder their retreat, the Poles and Cossacks, had mended the said Bridges, and were entered farther into the Enemy's Country, with an intention to prosecute their Victory towards Adrianople▪ and if their success answers their expectations, they hope the next Summer to approach very near to Constantinople itself. There are Letters which say, That after this great Victory, (than which none greater has been obtained for many Ages) they did deliver more than 70000 Christians from Bondage. His Imperial Majesty has dispatched extraordinary Couriers with the News of this Victory to the Pope, and to the Republic of Venice. We are preparing here, to render Thanks unto God, by having Te Deum sung. So soon as more distinct Relations shall come to our hands of these Advantages, we shall not fail to publish them.
