back and fled Which Prince Lubomirski perceiving sent instantly the rest of his Division and all the Polish Companies after them as also the Magnificent Lord Tetwin Underchamberlain of Derbia together with his blunderbuss-Blunderbuss-Regiment under the Command of Sieur Butler Lieutenant Colonel In this Fight the Polish Companies did so vigorously Attaque the Turks that they presently Cut them off from the Body of the Hungarians who betook themselves to the Left-side towards the Mountains The Turkish Forces in the mean time Flying towards the Isle of Schuts Thus the said Collonel going to Recruit the Fighting Polanders and having immediately with Sieur Butler perceived Two Hungarian Companies they did proceed by certain Bushes that they might not be discovered to Face the Enemy with a Noble Resolution Whereupon presently Sieur Glasnob a Captain of the Horse and Sieur Debeli Fronted the Enemy but Lord Tetwin Attacked the Enemy from the one and Sieur Butler from the other side who was presently Dispersed and so in Pursuit put to the Sword till at last the Enemy being Dismounted and Flying into the Vineyards made the Polanders to leave their Horses also and to Pursue them thither where they after the like manner severed their Heads from their Bodies Upon the Place there fell many Thousands of the Hungarians and for the most part in the Vineyards Hence the Polish Companies having resumed their Horses did with great Fury kill the Turks Pursuing them to the very Elbow of Danubius where after the Turks had Reinforced themselves as being near their Camp afterwards seeing the Polanders to approach fled further by the side of the River Danube having left their whole Camp wherein many Thousands of Turks were put to Death besides them that were taken Alive Afterwards his Highness Prince Lubomirski not thinking it convenient to Pursue the Enemy any further set up a Standard in their Camp which became a Prey to the Polish Army who then obtain'd a Reward for their Magnanimous Courage in Moneys Clothes Tents Horses Oxen Houshold Goods and all sort of Attire the half of which they did not possess themselves of having had many Hundred of Oxen with Wagons richly loaden with Provision about many Thousands and above many more of Sheep which Cattle after they had driven over the River they left at Maydan and so they fell into the hands of the Imperialists The whole German Army during the time of the Battel was about a German Mile and a half in a Park except that two Regiments of Dragoons under the Command of General Schultz and Stremow were Commanded to approach about a Mile nearer from whence the Polish Army God forbid they had stood in need of a recruit could expect but very little subsidy The Servants of the Polish Nobility fell afterwards to Plundering in so much that it was not possible for them to be repulsed till at last Prince Lubomirski Commanded that the Camp should be set on Fire at three Corners by which means he asswaged the disorder of the Rabble This so notable a Victory must of necessity be totally ascribed to the Polish Army but in particular to the Conduct of their Superiors who used great moderation in Opposing the Enemy and in pursuing him according to occasion where the Noble Colonel Grochofski gained a great deal of Immortal renown The City on the other side seeing the Enemy fled did again surrender it self to the Prince de Croy and delivered those 3000 Hungarians that were put in for their safeguard together with the Secretary of Count Tekeley In this Expedition many Turks and Hungarians were taken alive amongst which those of the best rank being preserved the rest were put to the Sword That same Night the Army rested upon the Plain at Presburg from which they had repulsed the Enemy and the next Morning returned to the River Mark for the refreshment of their Horses since about Presburg there is no Corn besides only Vineyards And above all this must be counted the greatest happiness the Polish Army had obtained That not one amongst them was either taken kill'd or wounded And that the Turks did not fix Place until they came before the New Castles And Count Tekeley not before he came before the Cappathian-hill where they did pass the River Waage all Night long This is the True and the Exact Account of that Fight and Expedition COPIA LITERARUM A B IMPERATORE AD SERENISSIMUM REGEM POLONIAE Serenissime ac Potentissime Rex Frater ac vicine Charissime IN aerumnosa quam Hungarorum Persidia Turcarum velocissima immanitas Austriae nostrae inflixit Literae Serenitatis 18.

A Full and True ACCOUNT Of the GREAT BATTEL Fought betwixt the Turks Hungarian Rebels and Polish Army Before the City of Presburg WITH The Glorious VICTORY obtained by the Polish Army under the Conduct of Prince Lubomierski sent from his Camp With Two Latin Letters One from the Emperor the other from the Duke of Lorrain to the King of Poland and Communicated to the Polish Envoy in London Translated from the Original London Printed for Edw. Brewster at the Crane in St. Pauls Church-yard 1683. A True and Exact ACCOUNT OF THE DEFEAT OF THE TVRKS and HVNGARIANS BY THE POLISH ARMY Under the Command of Prince LVBOMIERSKI now in conjunction with the Duke of Lorrain Written out of the very Camp NOtice was given to the Duke of Lorrain Generalissimo of the Imperial Forces That Count Tekely was drawing with his Army under Presburgh to joyn the Ottoman Troops and that he had Commanded the City which had surrendred it self to him That they should under the loss of their Goods repair with all expedition to the Bote-Bridg perhaps to the end he might have Correspondency with the Turkish Army under Vienna Since therefore it was altogether necessary to prevent this their Communication the Duke of Lorrain moved with his whole Army he had about the Bridges of Vienna But having scarcely been gone Two Miles notice was given to him as if Count Tekeley was with his Armies passing the River Mark for which reason the Army whereof the Polanders held the right Wing proceeded in Battalia to the very River where they also had their Nights quarters The Hungarian fore-Troops were burning the Villages at the other side of the River and in several places appeared in some small Bodies The next day about Noon the Army drew up towards Presburg and passed the River the German Horses passing above half a Mile higher but the Polish Army partly swam over with their Horses and partly waded the River Thus the River being passed Three hundred of Hungarian Horse-men under the Command of Colonel Pelinatssy came forth out of the Wood against whom Prince Lubomierski Commanded a Hundred Horse of Polish Knights which were seconded by Two Companies one whereof was of Sieur Mroczek and t'other of Sieur Kroyets and they having met the Hungarians made them quit the Field pursuing them a whole Mile till Night overtook them So that it being impossible upon that Day to reach Presburg the Army staid all Night about a Mile from the City in that same posture as it had Marched in before That same Night Prince de Croy with his Regiment of Dragoons went towards Presburg for the Recognizance of the passages and of the posture the City was then in where he was acquainted there was 3000 Hungarians left for its safe guard Next Morning the City would not open the Gates to Prince de Croy when in the interim the whole Army drew nearer before Presburg under which from t'other side at the distance of about a good Ordnance-shot the Turkish and Hungarian Armies were standing at their fore-Troops somewhat further drawn out into the Field Hereafter a Councel of War was call'd whereof these sentiments were the chiefest That since the City had shut up their Gates and the Enemies Armies stood ready neither had they any information about the number of the Enemy they having conveyed some hundreds of Men into the Castle which was kept by the Imperial Garison and having cut off the Bridg should betake themselves to the above-mentioned River But Prince Lubomierski and Prince Lewis of Baden judg'd otherwise That viz. since the Army had drawn before the City and was seen by the Enemy it was not expedient to deny them a Battel otherwise 't would be to make the Enemy more stubborn and resolute to make him think we fear'd him to give him an occasion of Pursuing us closely since we would not do it to him to lose the City to dishearten the Castle-Garison to afford them Liberty for the Rebuilding of the passage over the Danube and by this means to grant them a Correspondency and mutual Intelligence with the Armies under Vienna So that the last Reasons bearing sway Two Regiments were left about the City-Walls and the whole Army set in Battalia upon a Plain under the City Prince Lubomirski did take the Right-Wing and from about the half of the Field drew out his Polish Squadron to the very Banks of the River Danube whereto was added a Regiment of Dragoons under the Command of General Schultz But the Left-Wing and the Main Body was managed by the German Forces which did Possess themselves of the rest of the Field to the Very Mountains The Hungarians with a Troop fell out to Skirmish and Advanced very near under us against whom Prince Lubomirski sent his Advance-Guards to the end they should free the Camp from the Skirmishers themselves keeping close together Afterwards when the Army was ready to give Battel Trumpets Kettle Drums Shalms sounding the Squadron was rearing towards the Enemies Forces which presently begun to Skirmish the Skirmishers did not proceed so furiously till at length within the space of some Minutes they begun to retire Prince Lubomirski seeing this desired the Duke of Lorrain to grant him leave for the sending out of some Fore Troops and Seconding of the same with some Companies of the Polish Nobility in order to his obtaining an Information about the strength of the Enemies Forces As soon therefore as the Fore Troops had fallen upon the Enemy being Seconded by Sieur Protskele a Captain of the Horse and by Sieur Perewitsh with some Hussarian Companies the Gentlemen of Prince Lubomirskies Court Sieur Hilski Crogoledi and Sieur Soboski having in the mean time Assaulted them from the side they took a Notable Turk Secretary to Bassa Giuli by whom having understood That though the Turkish Forces under the Command of the Bashaws of Eger and Waradyn were not inconsiderable together with these Troops that were under Count Tekely whose Armies were all in one Body yet they had sent away their Field-pieces the Night before and had no resolution to stand out a Battel Prince Lubomirski upon this thought sit to Attack them with all his Forces and not to grant them time for their Reinforcement Accordingly for their first Recruit he commanded out the Companies of Sieur Modrzejefski the Crown-Hawkier and the Companies of Sieur De Niszewits who very timely came to the succour of Sieur Krotsek who having Thrice already met and pursued the Enemy and behaved himself dexterously shewed a great deal of Valour and Courage as having by his own Hand laid upon the Place above Twenty Turks and taken some of them alive Sieur Modrzejefski Attacqued the Enemy from the other side and Valiantly broke his Spear upon him Immediately after the Third Two Companies of Colonel Groboleski and Sieur Bieleski being ordered the latter Fronting his Enemy brought him to a great deal of Confusion who without any further Opposition turn'd filthily his
