A
True
and
Exact
RELATION
Of
the
Taking
of
Newhassell
by
Storm
.
TOGETHER
With
the
Defeat
of
the
serasquier
Bassa
before
Grann
,
by
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
as
it
was
brought
from
Vienna
by
the
Sieur
Martell
to
the
Governour
of
the
Spanish
Netherlands
.
ALL
being
well
put
in
order
by
the
Care
and
Conduct
of
the
General
Count
Caprara
,
and
the
Duke
of
Crey
,
to
whom
the
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
had
left
the
Command
to
continue
the
Seige
of
Newhassell
;
they
began
on
the
19th
.
to
Storm
about
Eight
in
the
Morning
;
and
in
less
then
an
hour
carried
the
place
by
main
Force
,
and
cut
all
the
Garrison
in
pieces
,
except
a
few
Principal
Officers
,
to
whom
Quarter
was
given
,
after
the
heat
of
their
Fury
was
over
;
And
amidst
this
Slaughter
,
four
hundred
being
retired
to
a
Bastion
,
who
were
warmly
plaid
on
by
our
Cannon
,
slid
down
the
Ditches
to
escape
;
whereof
many
were
drowned
,
and
the
rest
cut
off
by
our
Horse
,
who
came
not
up
to
the
Storm
.
This
great
Success
was
immediatly
carried
by
General
Count
Sherffenberg
to
his
Imperial
Majesty
at
Vienna
,
whither
he
parted
at
Nine
in
the
Morning
,
and
arrived
there
at
Nine
on
the
20th
at
Night
:
This
General
Commanded
the
Right
,
and
entred
first
the
Town
with
his
Sword
in
his
hand
,
and
the
Sir
Rinnel
General
of
the
Battel
of
the
Bavarian
Troops
,
who
commanded
the
Left
,
entred
likewise
about
the
same
time
,
while
the
Seiur
du
Mont
,
General
of
the
Battel
of
the
Lunenburgers
commanded
the
Reserve
;
there
were
but
two
Lieutenants
of
the
Imperialists
Killed
in
all
the
Action
and
about
30
private
Souldiers
,
with
a
few
of
the
Auxi●iaries
.
The
Besieged
were
still
about
1200
behind
the
Breaches
on
the
time
of
the
Assault
;
they
found
in
the
Magazines
Forty
Thousand
weight
of
Powder
,
a
great
quantity
of
Ammunition
,
and
Provision
both
for
War
and
Mouth
,
Eighty
Pieces
of
Brass
Cannon
,
which
had
been
all
dismounted
by
us
,
except
two
,
all
the
Riches
taken
,
a
great
number
of
Christian
Slaves
freed
.
Thus
this
place
after
having
groaned
22
years
under
their
Tyranny
,
is
redeemed
to
the
Power
of
his
Imperial
Majesty
.

Having
given
you
a
Relation
of
the
wonderful
taking
of
Newhassell
,
with
so
inconsiderable
a
loss
on
the
Christian
side
,
it
will
be
no
less
surprizing
News
to
tell
you
that
Prince
Charles
of
Lorrain
,
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
Prince
Waldeck
,
and
other
General
Officers
have
signalized
themselves
against
the
Ottoman
Army
,
under
the
Command
of
the
Serasquier
Bassa
,
who
had
besieged
the
Town
of
Grann
,
on
purpose
to
make
a
diversion
,
in
hopes
to
releive
Newhassel
,
but
His
Highness
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
finding
the
Enemy
,
advantagiously
posted
in
a
Morras
,
made
a
show
,
as
if
he
designed
to
March
towards
the
Bridges
of
Raab
,
and
as
a
forerunner
of
good
success
,
God
Almighty
so
ordered
it
,
that
a
Fogg
rose
on
the
sudden
,
and
prevented
the
Enemy
from
discerning
of
his
March
,
so
that
they
removed
from
their
Camp
to
follow
His
Highness
,
who
immediately
faced
about
,
and
Fought
them
in
the
open
Field
,
killing
6000
Janizaries
upon
the
place
,
taking
all
their
Cannon
,
Ammunition
,
and
Provisions
,
and
a
great
number
of
Prisoners
.
This
Account
is
brought
to
the
Governor
of
Flanders
,
by
Mounsieur
Martel
,
who
was
sent
by
Count
Chersenburg
,
from
Vienna
,
to
communicate
this
Advice
by
word
of
Mouth
to
the
Governor
of
Flanders
,
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
being
then
in
pursuit
of
of
the
Rest
of
the
Ottoman
Army
.
