by the Perastines towld forth upon the General 's Parol that they should receive no injury who being treated with all civility engag'd the rest to depart the Garrison the next Night to the number of two hundred and twenty 〈◊〉 the mean time all diligence was us'd to advance the Mine but meeting with nothing but Free-stone the work went on but slowly The Turks however endeavoured to Countermine it upon intelligence given them by the Fugitives but meeting the same Opposition of Free-stone all their industry was in vain Now it was agreed with the Albanesi that they should go forth at the great Tower which looks toward the Sea whereupon his Excellency imbarking three hundred select Foot upon two Gallies the Brazzana and the Achesana and himself going aboard a Feluque he made it his design not only to get out the Albanesi but to introduce his own three hundred Men into the Great Tower. But 't was impossible for him to bring the Albanesi to that For tho' they were willing to leave the City themselves under pretence that they were deny'd their Pay they could not be brought to forfeit their Allegiance to the Grand Signor by betraying the Place to his Enemies Having therefore proceeded so luckily thus far and the Breaches being sufficiently widen'd his Excellency resolv'd upon a General Assault seeing he could so suddenly bring his Mine to perfection The 28th it was agreed upon that the Assault should be delay'd by reason of the ill weather and the continual Rains that fell like a Deluge The same day a Florentine Bombist let fly a Bomb into the Great Tower of Kernegh next the Sea Shore which lighting upon several Barrels of Powder sent a great number of Turks into the Air with their Wives and Children The Perastines having accomplish'd their first design conducted ten more Albanesi toward the Sea-side who had let themselves down from a great Tower and after they had been made much of in the Camp were put a board with the rest Soon after the Weather clearing up the General in pursuance of his good luck resolv'd upon a general Onset And it was so order'd that the Auxiliaries with the C●llies should lie close to the Shore and play with their Cannon for several hours together Also the five Batteries plaid without interruption Sieur Vicenzo Grittie Proveditor of the Artillery Signor di Bucant Superintendant Signior Grancesco Maria Scotto and Signor Francesco Gonner Ville behaving themselves with extraordinary diligence and assisting with all their might at so important a Duty Signor Giovan Battista Calbo Signor Pietro Perini Superintendent the Oltramarine Militia the Perastines and the rest that belong'd to the Post on the North side with Lieutenant Colonel Canagitti were order'd to assail the City on that side On the Breach side were order'd the Germans under Baraitex the Florentines and part of the Auxiliary Militia assisted by divers Knights of the Order and Companies of Dragoons Thus the Granadiers being sent before the Soldiers ran upon the Breach enter'd the great Tower in part demolish'd but the Houses being destroy'd that were behind was the reason that they could not thunder upon the Enemy as they would have done with their small Shot yet many Florentines Lieutenant Colonel Satonini and others made their way to the Moschee But the Turks being fortified in the Houses kill'd Santonini the Captain of the Granadiers and a great many Souldiers of his Excellenties Guard the Harquebusiers and many other Florentines the main Body of the Turks with their Wives and Children being got into the Castle of the City from whence they shot without ceasing The Christians having thus lost the best of their Officers upon the Breach with two Knights of Malta and one wounded it could not be guess'd whither it were out of fear of some suppos'd Mine or whither it were by the fall of a Banner set up by the Maltesi not only Baraiter's Companies but the Gentlemen Auxiliaries began to retreat However this disorder did not put the more Courageous into any Confusion but having got the great Tower with two Pieces of Cannon and three Patarrs they kept Possession the Abruzzesi having bravely behav'd themselves in maintaining the Combat being assisted by the Valour of Signor Bori Serjeant Major of Battalia Signor Giovanni Loredano Signor Tranquillo Bolani the Marquess Orologio shew'd very great Courage and all the while his Excellency attended by many Noble Volunteers and other Adventurers in all the heat of the Combat took no rest exposing himself to all danger and running from Hill to Hill to give out all fitting Orders and to animate the Assailants both with his Presence and his Exhortation Signor Gramani the Lieutenant General led up to the very brink of the Breach encourag'd the Men in falling on and forc'd back the Fugitives Also Signor Lexio Balbi Governor of Cattaro and Bernardo Barbaro being near to the Prazza and the Breach were punctual at this time of Exigence The 29th of September a Turk of Tabiach was taken who having been in Castle Novo was making his escape to his own Country and reported that there were burnt in the great Tower the day before by the Barrels of Powder fir'd by the Bomb many Goods of Value and about One hundred and sixty Persons Men Women and Children By and by his Excellency discovering the earnest desire of the Morlacks and the Levies of the Territories of Sebenico Trau Spalatro and Clissa as also those of Cattaro and the Montenegrine had to enter the Breach he gave them their Liberty to which purpose he caus'd the five Batteries to fire and play upon the Castle and the great Tower toward the Sea and the City Houses for a good while and then let them go on They would have enter'd by the great Tower but that being already won and maintain'd by the paid Militia it would not be permitted them so that they were necessitated to pass on the other side the Breach where they met with many difficulties in getting down and were a good while before they could get footing However their Courage overcame the difficulty and they got with three Colours flying into the City about forty recovering a House which they got possession of The rest returning back with their Booty making the others believe that they retreated without Walls as being pursu'd by the Turks were somewhat disorder'd at the sight tho' without having damage only Zuranne Marowich Governor of the Men of Trau being wounded in the City with some few of the same Nation whom nevertheless the Sieurs Balbi Barbaro and Girolamo Bochio Antonio Bochi and Count Francisco so prerecover'd to their former Courage These things thus done the General resolv'd to send for some Petars to break open the Doors of the Houses where the Enemy had fortifi'd themselves and to fill up the Mores and Trenches with Timber and Bavins and to Level to make the Access to the City more easie to the Body of the Army and
