with little loss on the Imperial side The Princes de Conty and de la Roche-sur-Yon parted from the Imperial Army in which I now am near Barkan on the 25th instant in order to their return home The 26th instant our Scouts brought us in several Turkish Prisoners who told us that the Serasuier being re-enforced with about five thousand men and Ammunition as also with Artillery from Buda fearing to return home with so ill success resolved upon a second Battel They told us moreover that there had been a great bustle in the Turkish Camp arising upon Disputes about the ill management of Affairs in the late Battel which was the reason that some of the chief Officers were strangled From General Leslie we have an account that he has proceeded with all the success imaginable in all his Attempts That he has taken Michalowitz and the Town of Esseck and had burnt the Bridge of Esseck from the Town to the Drave which is near eleven hundred paces in length And all these great Actions were performed with the loss of less than a hundred and fifty men So that the Emperours Forces in all parts have hitherto had wonderful success this Summer which if it be not confined by a Peace with the Turks which is much suspected by the Souldiers there is no question but in a short time the Emperour having so many brave Commanders and well experienced Souldiers by the Blessing of Almighty God may be more Absolute in Hungary than either He or any of his Ancestors have been for some Ages Neither may he be confined there but to his eternal Honour may extend his Arms much farther and by that means with the assistance of his Allies extirpate that Wicked and Diabolical Religion of Mahomet even out of Europe and so reduce this most famous part of the World wholly to Christianity From the Imperial Camp wear Barkan August the 27th 1685.
