Imperial Masters Mendia as Turks Lift Siege at Orfova
Vienna reports that Imperial forces under the Great Duke of Tuscany captured Mendia after capitulation by Ibrahim Aga. The Turks abandoned Orfova, left heavy artillery and wagon trains, and Meadia garrisoned by Janissaries and Topzi surrendered. Colonel Piccolomini resumes command at Mendia as plans hint at a march toward Widin. Port news notes ships sailing to Leghorn and Lisbon, with several arrivals from Jamaica, Majorca, and Trapany.
