Letters from Transilvania report a large Turkish force planning to invade via Moldavia in March, aided by local gentlemen seduced by Prince Ragotski's promises. This may force part of the Imperial Army to advance, with the rest defending between Belgrade and Sabatch. The army, otherwise 40,000 strong excluding militias, is afflicted by a severe sickness like last year's in Hungary, but is well-provisioned.
