almost to nothing and being advanced as far as Clausenburg in Transylvania they were distressed for want of Victuals and Forrage and almost environed with their enemies About this time Barckay fell into disgrace with the Turk who preferred Apaffi to be Prince of Transylvania Apaffi made Prince of Transylvania against whom Remini Janos opposed himself with eight thousand men but he went daily to the worst and the Germans were forced to retreat which made him betake himself to places of more security Thus things continued till the year 1663 at which time the Turks did not only invade Transyvania and Hungary The Turks success in Hungary but some of the Emperors Hereditary Countries also in July the Grand Vizier came into Hungary with an Army of above an hundred thousand men at least an hundred great Guns and all other provisions answerable His first work was to lay two Bridges over the Danow one neer Gran and the other neer Parkham so that it was doubtful whether he would fall upon Newhausel or upon Raab but the continual rains which caused the Danow to overflow hindred him for a time yet at length he passed over some of his Army at the Bridge neer Parkham whereupon Count Forgatz the Governour of Newhausel with six thousand men assaulted those that were come over July 28 but the number being greater than he expected and more hastning over to them he was compassed about with his enemies The Imperialists beaten and though his Germans and Heyducks fought stoutly yet being overpowred most of them were cut in pieces himself with some few others getting into Newhausel Newhausel taken This the Vizier presently besieged and at length it was surrended to him upon honourable Conditions So that Septemb. 26. the Christians marched out being two thousand and almost five hundred able men with Arms and four pieces of Ordinance the enemy finding in the City seventy Peices of Ordinance and great store of Arms Powder Wine Meal and Corn. About the same time some Tartars and others forced away over the River Wargh cutting in pieces such Christians as guarded the pass and so crossing the Mountains they went into Moravia Moravia plundered and Austria where they plundered and burnt Towns and Villages for ten days together and then they passed into Austria where also they made great spoil and having laden themselves with Booty they returned to the Camp at Newhausel Then did the Vizer and the Turks make an attempt upon Serinswar and another upon Clausenburg but at both places they were repulsed Serini invades the Turks and Count Serini in the mean time with an Army of Croats and others made an incursion into some of the Turks countries where he did them much harm and at his return was made Generalissimo of all the Emperors Forces then rendevouzed at Presburg under their former General Montecuculi Towards which place the Vizier now advanced giving out rumors that he ment to Attaque it But such had been the care of Serini in furnishing of it himself also being in it that the Vizier contenting himself with the taking in of some other Towns and places of lesser concernment he made an Honourable retreat and presently besieged Niutra Niutra taken and other places by the Turk a very strong City not far from Newhausel which after a while was surrendred to him upon Articles which Victories and his faithful performance of Covenants made way for his successes elsewhere For Tyrnaw and some other Towns opened their Gates to him upon his promise that they should enjoy their Religion and Liberties without disturbance Then did he besiege Schinta a very strong Fortress but October being almost gone and Winter coming on apace he was forced to raise his siege and to provide Winter Quarters for his Army The Visier retreats He left four thousand men in Newhausel and fifteen hundred in Niutra besides ten thousand others to be ready upon all emergencies and to encrease the danger of the Imperialists Apaffi Prince of Transylvania declared himself an enemy to them having a promise from the Great Turk of the Kingdom of Hungary to be conferred upon him when it is conquered Apaffies successes Apaffies first design was upon the Mine-Towns whence they have their Gold but that which hindred his proceeedings was this there were Novigrad and Leventz in his way two very strong Places and well fortified and Garrisoned Leventz was first attaqued by him and though there was nothing wanting for the securing of the place yet after a while it was surrendred upon Articles which were punctually performed From thence he marched to Nevigrad in Upper Hungary which after a stout but short resistance was surrendred to him and though some Regiments were sent by the Emperor to secure the Mine-Towns yet Apaffi took in Shomnitz Cremnitz and some other of them The Emperor himself went from Vienna to Regenspurgh where he had summoned a Diet A Diet at Ratisbone to consider with the Princes of Germany how these evils might be prevented leaving to Govern in his absence the Archduke Charles Joseph his Brother who not long after fell sick and died Serini's successes In the mean while Apaffi had surrendred to him Zekelkeyt and Clausenburg which strong holds had been held by the Emperor ever since the death of Rakoczi The Tartars that were quartered in Hungary expecting Frosts wherein they might be enabled to action the Winter proving open and mild the places and Garrisons wherein they were being overburthened they began to want provisions so that they were forced to disperse themselves for better accommodation which advantage Count Serini taking by the benefit of a sudden Frost with an Army of about thirty five thousand he fell into the enemies Country in the lower Hungary and Croatia advancing as far as Esseck where there was Bridge neer to the conjunction of the Danow with the Dravus over which the Turks used to pass from Belgrade now Greek Weissenburg into the Lower Hungary the Count knowing what disadvantage the breaking down of this Bridge would be to them in reference to the ensuing Campagnia notwithstanding all opposition made by the enemy he so maimed and disjoynted it that part of it fell into the Dravus since when they have been very busie in repairing it Count Serini having succeeded so well in this enterprise laid all the Country wast with fire and sword and so returned Yet in his way he came by Quinque Ecclesiae and summoned it the Town seemed to be willing to Parlie till they had drawn some of his forces within the reach of their Cannon and then let fly amongst them at which time many of his men and some eminent Officers were slain which so incensed Serini that he took the Town by storm sacked and burnt it Quinque Ecclesiae burnt the Souldiers and many others retreating into the Castle which Serini thought not fit to besiege then passing by Zigeth he fell upon Segess
