A TRUE ACCOUNT Of the ACTIONS With the whole Defeat Of the Turkish Army AT VIENNA By the imperialists. From the Imperial Camp about four miles from Vienna September the 2● The King of Poland has Joined us, and all things are disposing for the relief of Vienna, which continues to make a very brave Defence; however the Garrison is much weakened, and therefore the Governor has let the Duke o● Lorraine know, that no time is to be lost. You have already had an account o● the Action we were Engaged in against a body of Turks and Tartars on the 24th passed, to which we cannot add any thing, unless it be to do right to the King of England's Subjects, who had a share in it. Count Tafe Commanded in the left wing and gave Eminent proofs of his Courage and Conduct, and the Lord Lansdowne, who was with him, with other Volontiers; did distinguish himself with great Gallentry in the hottest of Action. Lintz September the 9th The 6 Instant the Prince of Baden returned hither from the Army, (which passed the Danube the 3.4. and 5th Instant, at a place called Stetzdort) and gave the Emperor an account of the resolution that have been taken for the Relief of Vienna: That the King of Poland was to march with the Van towards Maurbach and Maur, the main body commanded by the Duke of Lorraine towards walkersdorf, and Count waldecke with the Rear towards Closter Neuburg, That they intended to attack the enemy on Sunday next, & that the Christian Army consists of 85000 Fight men. The 6 instant arrived here the Elector of Bavaria, who parted again from hence yesterday with the Emperor for Closter Neubourg. Before his Imperial Majesty went hence, he received advice that the Turks had the 7 instant Sprung two mines, one whereof made a Breach in the Bastion of Lebels and that thereupon they made a very furious assault, in which they were repulsed. However the place gins to be in great danger, as we know by the signs the besieged have made. The 7 the Empress was brought to Bed of a Daughter. From Hungary we have advice that Prince Abafty, as likewise the Princes Walachia and Moldavia have orders from the Grand Vsiier to remain with their Troops near Raab to hinder the Incursions of that Garrison and of Comorra, and to secure the Convoys That go to the Turkish Army Ratisbonne September 13th we have Letters from the Imperial Army near Mautern of the sixth Instant which say; That the next Morning they were to March into the Tolne fields, where they were to expect the Troops of Franconia and Saxony; and the Letters from Lintz of the 9 tell us, that the Turks were masters of the Ditch of Vienna that they had sprung two Great Mines; one of which did not succeed, but the other blew up the point of the Lebel Bastion, and that thereupon they made a very fierce assault, but that they were repulsed with Considerable Loss That the King of Poland and the Duke of Lorraine were Marching to relieve the place (which began to be in great Distress) and that the whole Army was Compassed of 64 Battalions of Foot, 500 in each, and 162 squadrons of Horse and Dragoons, in each 220 which amounts to 32000 Foot and 32400 Horse and Dragoons, in all 64400 men Ratisbonne September 16 several Couriers have passed through this place since yesterday Morning; coming from Vienna and from the Imperial Army, by whom we are informed That on Sunday the 12th instant, the Christian Army attacked the Turks in their Camp, and totaly defeated them, that their Foot were all cut in pieces and their Horse fled, leaving their Baggage; Cannon, Tents, and all they had behind them, that the Imperial Army stood in Battalions all the Night following that they might be in a posture to receive the Enemy, in case they should rally again; That the King of Poland with his Troops and some of the Germans, were gone in pursuit of them, and were not returned to the Imperial Army on Monday Noon; at which time Liberty was given to the Soldiers to strip the Enemies dead; it's said the imperialists have not lost above 4 or 500 men; and that the King of Poland has taken two Horse Tails (which are the Turks signals of War) as likewise the Grand Viziers standard; and his own Horse, but that it is not yet known what is become of himself; the Letters we expect to morrow will give us with more certainty the particulars of this great Action Brussels September the one and twentieth: Last Night arrived here a Gentleman from the Imperial Army, who brought the great and happy news of the raising the Siege of Vienna and the total defeat of the Turkish Army on Sunday the 12th instant, of which he gives us these particulars. That the Christian Army consisted of 40000 Horse, and the like number of Foot, That the King of Poland commanded the Right Wing. the Duke of Lorraine, accompanied with the Electors of Saxony and Bavaria, the main Body, and Prince Waldecke, the Prince de Salme, Prince Lovis of Baden, and the Marquis of Brandenburg, Bareith, the Left Wing; That the whole Army advanced in this order of Battle towards the Turkish Camp with several small Parties of Horse and Dragoons before them to clear the way; That the Grand Visier had drawn up his Army within his Camp, having several advanced Bodies of Horse and Foot to defend their Retrenchments, and had they made a stout resistance, it would have been difficult to have forced their Camp; but that these advanced Bodies▪ not being well seconded, gave way, and put their main Body into disorder; That the Christians having without much opposition entered the Enemy's Camp, their Horse immediately fled, and the Grand Visier with them, That their Foot, being between 20 and 25000 men, made a considerable resistance; but being environed by the Christians, were all cut in pieces; That the Polish Horse pursued the Enemy's Cavalry till night, and killed many of them, and intended to continue the pursuit the next day; That the Enemy's Camp infinitely rich That all their Baggage and Cannon are taken, with 60000 Tents, and that in that of the Grands Viziers, was found two Millions of Money. That Vienna was brought to the last extremity, and could have held out but four days longer, the Garrison being reduced from 15000 to 5000 men; However they made a very brisk Sally at the time the Christians entered the Turkish Camp, and killed many of the Turks that were still in the Trenches. 'tis said the Enemy lost during the Siege 70000 men, besides those slain on this great day. Count Starenberg has given the Marquis de Grana a short account of their Deliverance, having Writ his Letter upon one of the Enemy's Cannon. We were told that neither Teckeley nor Abafti was in the Turkish Army, and that there was not one Tartar found among them. In our next we may be able to give you a more particular Relation of this great and signal Victory, which cost the Christians not above 3 or 400 men; among whom are no Persons of any note, except the Duke de Crov's Brother, and the Count de Tratmansdorf. Brusels Sept. 1. It is hard to express the Joy we are here in occasioned by the news we have of the entire Defeat of the Turkish Army; We first heard it from a Courier which arrived here yesterday morning from Passaw, but in the Evening we had the certainty of it by an Officer who came from the Imperial Camp, and from Vienna the 13. inst. the day after this Memorable Action, He tells us That the 12. about ten in the morning, the Christian Army attaked the Turkish Camp. That the King of Poland made the attack on the side of the Empresses House called lafoy Favourite, where the Grand Visier had his Quarters; The Duke of Lorraine on the side of the Bastion of the Court, and Prince Waldecke on that of the Scotch Gate. That having without any great opposition entered the Enemy's Camp, their Horse fled, and the Foot was all destroyed, and all their Baggage Cannon, Tents and Treasure taken; during this action the Besieged Sallied out, and fell upon the Janissaries, who, as is said, to the number of 10000 had that day the Guard of the Trenches, and were in the posts against the Town, and, being likewise attacked on the side of the Army, none of them escaped. The Marshal d'Eumieres continues still at Lessiness; On Sunday last some Squadrons of French Horse were at Alost and Asch, and carried away several of the Inhabitans for refusing to pay the Contributions they demanded, 4000 Ducth Foot, and 2000 Horse are encamped between Malines and Doffle. and 2000 Foot more are marching to Gaunt to remain in Garrison there under the Command of Monsieur d' Auvergue.
