also sprang a Mine under our first Line which buried Captain Kalkreiter of Starenbergh's Regiment and some Soldiers But at length finding we could not get footing for want of Ground that we could not force the Pallisado'd Retrenchment of the Besieged behind the Breach and that our chief Officers were already all either wounded or killed by the continual firing of the Enemy it was thought convenient to cause the Assailants to retreat who had fought like Lions and of which five were so valiant as to throw themselves into the Retrenchment and yet to bring themselves off and retire with the rest who had they been but duly succoured perhaps there would have needed no farther work to have lodged upon the Breach However the Retreat was made in good Order The Regiments of Souches and Mansfield suffered most in this Action and Starenbergh's also was very much damnified There were about four hundred killed and wounded but that which was more particularly to be deplored was the loss of so many brave Officers and Volunteers The Duke of Lorrain and Camp-Marshal-General Starenbergh were present at this Action giving Orders every where as occasion required Few of the wounded escaped which is the Reason some believe the Turks do shoot with poyson'd Bullets Among the dead were the Count de Herberstein Serjeant Major to Scherffenbergh the Count of Kuffstein a Captain to Starembergh with another Captain of the same Regiment The Baron of Rolle the Sieur Kirchmeyer one of Souches's Captains and two of Mansfield's Captains with eight Ensigns and Lieutenants of Infantry Of the Volunteers that were slain or died of their Wounds the chief were the Duke of Vejar Grandee of Spain who behaved himself with so much Courage that he was one of the first upon the Breach Prince Robert's Son with another English Lord the Baron of Scheyffer the Son of the Count of Maldegem the young Count of Courmaillon a Count of Donaw and seven or eight other Persons of Quality Among the wounded as well Officers as Volunteers there was Lieutenant-Collonel Guido de Starenbergh wounded with the splinter of a Granado in the Shoulder and a Musket Bullet in the Foot Lieutenant Collonel the Count d' Averspergh in the Foot but not dangerously and indeed there were few of the rest of the Officers escaped the Prince of Veldens of the Palatine Family Prince Picolomine two English Lords the Duke of Escalona a Grandee of Spain the Marquis of Valero Brother to the Duke of Vejar the Prince of Commercy and above thirty other Volunteers of Quality The Spanish and English distinguished themselves and fighting to out-vye one another endured the main Fury of the Enemy And indeed the English suffered very much For of twenty all Persons of Quality there were not above six that were not either killed or wounded The Loss of the Besieged was also very great for by what we understood afterwards they had above two hundred of their chiefest Men killed and wounded It was thought the Brandenburghers would have made an Attempt on their side but they excused themselves alledging that their Breach was not then wide enough However the Turks upon the Retreat of our Men made a little sally upon their Attack but were repulsed with the loss of twenty four of their Party Upon the Bavarian side they had made a considerable Breach in the Roundel and in the Wall that secures the Castle which the Besieged repair'd every Night with Gabions Palisado's and Bavins The 14th All the night and day was spent in burying the dead and repairing the Approaches in planting more Cannon upon the Batteries and in carrying on the Mines the Miners being actually set to work under Ground on the side of the great Roundel Two Galleries were also built toward the Curtin between the twelfth and thirteenth Roundel The Duke of Lorrain also having sent for three Regiments of Horse from near Alba Regalis to go and re-inforce General Mercy the Count de Caprara detach'd the Regiments of Trusches Taff and Stirum who this morning pass'd the Bridge on Pest side In the evening the besieged sprung a Mine in the Eavarian Attack on the left hand of the Roundel of the Castle which succeeded very ill The same day his Electoral Highness having caus'd eight Parapets of thick oaken Planks plaited with Iron being a new Invention found them very proper to be made use of in Assaults and Attacks every Parapet being sufficient to secure a hundred armed men The same day the Bavarians discovered and disappointed five Mines of the Enemies The 15th They went on finishing their Lines and being to dig under the Wall they heard the Enemy at work under the breach This day the Sieur Gonzales arriv'd and shot his Bombs and Carcasses into the City which did great Execution where five or six were kill'd and wounded This day the Duke of Lorrain having intelligence that the Convoy of the Enemy which had pass'd the Tibiscus near Segedin lay still encamp'd under the Cannon of the Fortress of Hatwan his Excellency sent for two Regiments of Horse more to joyn with General Mercy with a design to constrain the Enemy to repass the River On the 16th a new Battery was erected in the Lorrain Attack without the Wall of the low Town on the right hand against the great Roundel which was also battered on the other side to make the breach the larger This day a Rascian coming out of the City with a Packet of Letters which the Governor of the place had intrusted him with to carry to the Governour of Alba Regatis rendred himself in the Duke of Lorrain's Quarters But in regard the Letters were written in the Armenian Language and for that there was never an Interpreter in the Camp they sent them to Vienna to be deciphered Some Country People also making their Escape from the Town reported that the Janizaries began to murmur against the Governour for being so obstinate to let things go to the utmost extremity but that by the punishment of the Mutineers by means of his Money and a strong assurance of speedy Succour he had so well confirm'd the rest in their duty that they promised to hold out to the last drop of blood This evening the Elector of Brandenburgh commanded a hundred and fifty men seconded by a great number to attack the Palisado in the Trench at the foot of the Roundel of the Castle the Lieutenant General the Count of Fontain undertook the Attack on the right hand and the Count of Aspremont on the left And this was the first time they made use of three Parapets of Wood which were very profitable to us and they attackt that post so vigorously that they carried it by dint of Sword and cut to pieces all that were in it but they sold their Lives dear however for we had there the Count of Fontain kill'd with five and thirty Soldiers and Volunteers The Count of Aspremont was very much bruis'd in the Head with a Musket-bullet
