Russian Victory Over Tartars Near Precop Reported
The letter from Count Munich details a long campaign against a Tartar army near Cresney-Dolenfy and Crim, with 100 000 Tartars opposing 80 battalions, 55 squadrons and 30 000 Cossacks. Repeated assaults, breaching the Tartar lines, and capture of five stone towers mark a decisive night assault leading to the Tartars retreating to Crim, while Precop fortifications hold with Janissaries garrisoned. News also notes a courier to Constantinople and a public note of Dr. John Albert Fabricius’s death in Hamburg.
