Vienna, July 25.  On the 21st Major General Count Preising
arrived here with the agreeable news that the Turks having
on the 15th attacked part of the Imperial Army beyond
Meadia, had been repulsed with great loss. . . Our loss is
about 1200 men killed or wounded;  but that of the Turks is
much more considerable, for above 3000 of them were found
before the Fort of Meadia, and in the Fields.  We took one
Horse Tail, 33 Colours, one of the Janisiaries Drums, two
pair of Kettle Drums, and a great Booty of Arms and Horses.
