A Letter written from the Hague the 11. day of September 1602. Stilo Anglio.  
I Came yesterday from Minegem, two leagues from the town of Grave. On Wednesday we heard they of the Grave sent out to parley, when the Mines were ready to be blown under their walls, and that night the next morning fell to agreement, to retire towards Diest and Mastricht with 140. wagons for their hurt men, with bag and baggage. Some think they are much spent. This day they are to departed: but three hundred of our men were put in the possession of the Castle, and hostages given. From our side the Ringrave is one. That day we thought it a happy parley, for the River Mosa did grow, that our works began to come under water, and there was feared some extraornarie flood of upper water for rains. But since it is fallen.  
The town was very strong, but brought to extremity, and well defended, of the which I will write more with the next.  
The Estates were in the Camp and viewed all the trenches, and have resolved to continue the Germans yet for two months in wages. And it is thought some more service is in hand, either upon Venlo, or to seek to fight with the Admirant, being weak as it is thought, or some other service. The Mutinadoes be strong, and grow daily about Hoochstrate, and ransom all. It is thought these soldiers of Grave will do the like if they be not paid.   

THE CONDITIONS, which his Excellency agreed with the Governor, Captains, Officers and Soldiers of the Garrison of the town of Grave.  
INPRIMIS, that the said Governor, Captains, Officers and Soldiers, as well horse as foot, shall departed the said Town, with their Horses, Arms, furniture and baggage, their Colours displayed, Drum sounding, Match alight, and their bullets in their bags.  
2 To the end they may the better carry their baggage, their sick and hurt, his Excellency shall cause them to have 150. wagons, from hence to the town of Dieste.  
3 That they shall leave here two Captains in hostage, for the assurance of the said Chariots, horses and drivers, till their return.  
4 That his Excellency shall give them Passport to pass to the town of Dieste.  
5 That the soldiers, which have served the said State, shall enjoy the same conditions that are enjoyed by the soldiers of the said Garrison.  
6 That all prisoners, of what quality or condition soever, as well of the one side as of the other, shall be at liberty, paying their charges.  
7 That all the officers of the King, aswell private as public, of the wars or the State, shall departed freely with their baggage, as the Garrison: and those that cannot follow the troops, are permitted to stay yet certain days within the town, and at their departure they shall have Barks to carry them to Mastrich; provided that they gave assurance and pledges for the said Barks.  
8 That the officers of the victuals, or munition for war and artillery, shallbe bound to deliver the said victuals, munition and artillery, into the hands of the Commissioners, that shall be sent on this side to receive them, without diminishing or wasting any part thereof, upon pain of forfeiting these conditions.  
9 That the Governor, Captains and officers do promise so to deal with their friends, that whatsoever the Magistrate and Burgiosses of the town have lent them, shall be repaid with all convenient speed.  
10 That the said Govenour, Captains and Soldiers, shall departed to morrow: and if perhaps they do not departed to morrow, the said Governor shall suffer to enter into the Castle and the Bulwark behind the Castle to the number of 100 men, which his Excellency shall send to that purpose.

ANOTHER LETTER written out of the Hage the 28. of September. 1602.  
WOrshipful Sir, sithence the surrendering of the Town of Grave, we hear his Excellency Prince Maurice is instaulled at Grave as Earl of the Country of Cuyck. The Dutch horsemen are licenced to departed, and are paid for eight days more than they have served. What we shall hear moreover the time will learn. The Camp is not as yet broke up, but the horsemen are gone by the mutined soldiers towards Breda and Hoochstrate. It is said they are agreed not to hurt or endamage the united Countries, and provide and supply their want and necessity for their money at Breda and there about. And in case they should be assaulted by the Archduke, they may betake themselves under Sevenberghen and proffer service, if men would trust them. It is reported they 1300. horse, and seven or eight hundred foot, all old soldiers, of all nations, none other they will accept in their company, than those which are eight months pay behind hand. With the remaining newcome Italians and Spaniards, and with a company of Boors of Walls Brabant doth the Archduke purpose to assault them: but doth not trust his person but by soldiers which are paid. What hereof shall ensue the time will learn. The States general are all yet in the Camp with his Excellency, which maketh that we do not yet know what resolution will be taken.  
FINIS.
