GAZETTE 1st OF MARCH 1693, 4 full pages. Rich in contemporary news, most about the war in the Levant. After so many years of war, thoughts about a peace treaty are made in Poland. Envoys of the Tartar Embassy have come to negotiate, with the troops though continuing preparations from both sides. In Hungary, the Austrians (after the complete conquest of Hungary), want to preserve their newly acquired provinces, but the Turks are still dangerous, lurking for a last chance, so the war continues. In Morea, the Venetian army is gathered in Nafplio, consisting of only 8,000 men and 900 horsemen. Fortunately, the funds required for 3,000 additional Swiss troops are assured and their recruitment continues. For that reason, the Senate decided to raise the taxes across all Venice territories (300,000 fiorins new taxes). A contemporary testimony of the economic consequences of the wars (Venice will eventually be destroyed economically by this long war). Further other news. Very good condition. Please note that in the printed catalogue the description is wrong!
