Vienna, July 5. The report we had 4 days ago, as the post
went off, of a compleat victory gain'd by the Imperial Army
in Hungary, over the Grand Seignior's has no other
foundation than the arrival of an express, with the
particulars of the action, on the 23d ult near Cornia, The
Major General Count de Konigsegg, preceded by a Post master
and 2 Post boys, blowing their horns, arrived 2 days ago at
the palace of La Favorita, with the agreeable news that the
Imperialists had made themselves masters of the important
post of Meadia; and that the Turks afterwards raised the
siege of Orsiva: pursuant to the following relation . . .
[10 lines] And toward the evening, the army being drawn up
in order of battle, Te Deum was sung with a treble salvo of
the artillery and small arms, by way of thanksgiving, for
the victory gain'd over the Turks on the 23d. . . [1 column]
Next Sunday Te Deum will be sung in the metropolitan
Church of this city, to give thanks to God for the advantage
which the Imperial arms have obtain'd over the infidels in
Hungary. . .
