LONDON GAZETTE, 1-4/8/1687. News from the Archipelago: A strong Venetian fleet enters Archipelago, the beginning of a great campaign (it will be the attack on Athens). Thousands of Greeks expect the appearance of the Venetians to revolt against the Turkish yoke (written: yoak). The Turks try to save Patras and gather some troops there. The Venetian admiral Venier has appeared just off Negroponte (it was the Venetian fleet move towards Evia, to mislead the Turks for their real goal: the conquest of Athens), several other operations ongoing in Greece. The Austrians entered Sclavonia and Transylvania. The Turkish defenses in Hungary cannot hold and many cities surrender. Several other news.
