LONDON GAZETTE, 16-19/6/1673. A very early publication, number 791. In Warsaw the Polish try to raise funds for the forthcoming war with the Turks. A Persian embassy arrived to propose alliance. The great general Sobietski (who will defend & save Vienna few years later) prepares his troops, as the Ottoman main force is ready to cross the Danube and join the Tartars. The Polish decide to sell their Crown jewels. They are certain that the Turkish will attack from Kaminietc to Leopolis (Lvov). Several other news. The year 1673 is generally considered, in history, as the culminating point of the Ottoman power. The invasion in Poland is the last successful Ottoman expansionist campaign. Light spotting.
