A dated dispatch reports a June 19 battle where a Russian force, aided by Ottoman guards, attacked Turkish ships near Otzakow. Captain Bathaw commanded light vessels, seven craft engaged, two Russian vessels blown, one sunk, and the fleet retreated under Turkish protection as Prince Palehina’s courier arrives in Vienna.
The grand army in a western theater continues mobilizing with a four week buildup near the Save. Bridges were briefly erected over a river, then dismantled as camp orders were issued and reversed, signaling ongoing uncertainty about Belgrade siege plans. Croatian reports claim Turkish forces penetrated toward Croatia and committed ravages before a stubborn relief by a German regiment.
A highly damaged report describes disturbances surrounding a poll at Covenarden and nearby areas. It notes violent clashes between opposing factions, property damage on Charing-cross and Jane Street, and warnings of renewed disorder. It mentions figures for Lord Townsend and Lord Hood, with a small majority for Townsend and Hood ahead in a separate count. An earlier letter cites extraordinary heartence with dark clouds, intense rain, and large hail affecting many towns, along with reports of ice and wind damage.
