From Warsaw: The Ottoman Sultan, dissatisfied with peace terms from the Empress, seeks Spanish mediation for better conditions but faces domestic pressure to accept. Recent reports detail severe aftermath of the Battle of Maczin, with the Grand Vizir fleeing mutinous troops and Arnauts slaughtering more Janissaries than died in the battle itself.

The Sultan of the Turks is so ill pleased with the conditions of peace, offered by the Empress, that he has now for a second time applied to the court of Spain, that by their means and interference, he may obtain better terms. The discontents of his own subjects will, however, compel him to accede to the peace that is offered.
News is just received here that the consequences of the battle of Maczin were much more fatal than the defeat itself. After the Grand Vizir had retreated to Hetova, and from thence to Shumla, he was very near being cut to pieces by his own troops, and only made his escape by a very precipitate flight. The whole Turkish army was dispersed, and in the greatest confusion, the Arnauts having fallen upon the Janissaries and put a greater number to the sword than had fallen in the battle.
