Reports detail a Turkish force of 9 200 horse and 12 pieces of cannon marching from the coast on a siege of Gimel where the Pretender to the throne sought refuge. After a stout defence the fortress fell by storm, many taken or killed, and provisions shared among Turkish troops while the Pretender fled to the mountains seeking asylum.
