From the Imperial Camp about four miles from Vienna September the 2 [...] The King of Poland has Joyned us, and all things are disposing for the relief of Vienna, which continues to make a very brave Defence; however the Garrison is much weakned, and therefore the Governor has let the Duke o [...] Lorrain know, that no time is to be lost. You have already had an account o [...] the Action we were Ingaged in against a body of Turks and Tartars on the 24th past, to which we cannot add any thing, unless it be to doe right to the King of Englands Subjects, who had a share in it. Count Tafe Commanded in the left wing and gave Eminent proofs of his Courage and Conduct, and the Lord Lansdowne, who was with him, with other Volontiers; did distinguish himself with great Gallentry in the hottest of Action.

Before his Imperial Majesty went hence, he received advice that the Turks had the 7 instant Sprung two mines, one whereof made a Breach in the Bastion of Lebels and that thereupon they made a very furious assault, in which they were repulsed. However the place begins to be in great danger, as we know by the signs the be­sieged have made. The 7 the Emperess was brought to Bed of a Daughter. From Hungary we have advice that Prince Abafty, as likewise the Princes Walachia and Moldavia have orders from the Grand Vsiier to remain with their Troops near Raab to hinder the Incursions of that Garrison and of Comorra, and to secure the Convoys That go to the Turkish Army
