A Letter from the Spanish Ambassador to the Marquis De Grana at Lintz Dated the Thirteenth of October One Thousand six hundred Eighty three, At Midnight being an account of a second Fight between the Christians and Turks.  
THat the Imperial and Polish Armies having repassed the Danube on a Bridge of Boats at Wiswar near Comorra, the King of Foland resolved to advance with his Troops to Attack the Fort of Barkan, which covers the Bridge of Gran; accordingly his Majesty marched on the seventh of this Month, with so great Diligence, that he got a Germane mile and a half before the Imperialists. and being come near the said Fort, he caused his Dragoons to alight, and to attack it, purposing to take it by assault; The Turks at the first came out in small Parties from behind their Retrenchments, to draw the Christians on; The Polish Dragoons behaved themselves very bravely, and the Turks gave ground, but it was only to amuse the Christians, for in the mean time Five or Six Thousand Janissaries, passing behind a Hill, Fell upon the Christians, who had not percieved them, in their Flank, and put them into confusion, the Regiment of the Grand Marshal Jablounski particularly suffering very much. The Duke of ●rain who marched with his Horse, the Imperial Infantry being six miles. behind, knew not that the King was advanced so far, till his Majesty sent him word that he was engaged with the Enemy, and desired him to Advance without any loss of time; His Highness thereupon Marched with all the speed he was able, but having a Defile to pass, he could not join the King so soon as otherwise he might have done. The Duke of Lorraine appearing with the first Squadrons, the Poles retreated to meet him, to avoid the great disorder which they began to fall into; and the Germane Dragoons hawing joined the Poles, they returned to charge the Enemy, who not being now able to maintain their ground, retired with some loss. That in this action twelve or thirteen hundred Poles were slain, and among them a Palatin. That the King himself was in great danger. and his Son Prince Alexander being engaged among the forwardest, had his Horse killed under him. That on the eighth they expected the Imperial Infantry would come up, and that on the ninth the King and the Duke of Lorraine, had resolved to attack the Fort of Barkan, which they believed would occasion a very sharp Engagement.

THat Count Lamberg was just arrived there from the Army, being sent by the Duke of Lorraine, to acquaint the Emperor; That the Christians had on the ninth been engaged with Ten Thousand Turks, and that after a very sharp Fight, which lasted several hours, the Turks were totally defeated, and most of them cut in pieces; That a small number saved themselves over the Bridge of Barkan, which being afterwards broke, the Turks were deprived of the means to escape; Some threw themselves into the River, and were drowned, and about Eight Hundred were taken Prisoners, among which was the Bassa of Silestria, and among the killed were found the new Bassa of Offen, and the Bassa of Aleppo; That Barkan immediately after Surrendered on Discretion; and that the King of Poland and the Duke of Lorraine resolved to follow this Great and Happy Success, with the Attack of Gran.   

An Account of the fight between the Christians and Turks with the total overthrow of the Turks at Barkan, from Brussels October the 22. 1683.  
THe Victory obtained against the Turks at Barkan, is the more considerable, for that it was against the Best and Choicest part of their remaining Army. The consequences of it are like to be very great, and may occasion the taking of Gran, Agria, and Newheusel. We are told that in the first days action the King of Poland was missing for two hours, and believed to be either Killed or Taken; and that above Thirteen Hundred Poles with many good Officers were slain, and that their loss would have been greater, had not the Duke of Lorraine hastened with extraordinary diligence to their Assistance.
