Campaign reports from Belgrade and Danube frontier battles
From Amsterdam Courant dated July 26 to August 18, a detailed update describes siege actions before Belgrade, bombardment from mortars and twelve pounders, advances toward the lower town, and improvements to redoubts and river communications along the Save and Danube. It notes Ottoman movements from Haflan Bashaw toward Semendria, Bavarian Dragoons arriving, and preparations for a major battle with reports of cavalry and infantry ready to strike the enemy before they form. It ends with news of Sabacs expedition success and talks of negotiations and possible capitulations, amid broader Europe-wide mobilizations and a looming general engagement.
