The Body of Turkish Troops who began their March by the Way of Parakin, in Order to attack Rawna and Jagodina, actually encamp'd on the other Side of the Morova. The 8000 Turks who were detach'd from Bosnia, in Order to besiege Sabatich, have taken Post in the Neighbourhood of that Fortress, and are disposing every Thing for beginning the Siege, as soon as the Waters of the Save are a little lower, and as soon as they receive the Artillery which they expect from Bosnia; but as the Imperial Army is on the Point of marching, the Infidels may probably be obliged to retire before they put their Design in Execution; and we foresee this Campaign will be a very bloody one.
