From Venice the 27. May. This Sigenourie causes a new, certain Galleys to be set forth, to accompany the new Gallion called Terre di Mare towards the Fleet; in Candia it is commanded to keep the galleys ready, and out of the store house is the Iseland Lepanto provided with great store of warlike provision. At Mylane they advice daily by what means possible they may bring again to obedience the Ten confederated Grisons; sending daily forces unto them, the treaty betwixt Savoy & Mantua is broke off without any hope of good success. They advice from Turine that the Duke of Savoy was come back from Rively and had dispatched diverse posts to France, Venice, and monsieur la Diguiere, to what effect is not yet known, the said La Diguiere, hath ready in the Delphinate 12. thousand foot and 8000. horse.

Two days ago the Duke of Saxoney Elector, with certain hundreth of Horse, and one company on foot, with ten pieces of Ordnance did arrive here, the next day after, certain companies of foot with a strong convoy of horse came by here, and went towards the Land Weeringen at Mulhawsen, and daily more horse and foot follow them, and their are also a thousand Cuirassiers marching being sent by the gentry, part of them are already here about arrived, so that the aforesaid Elector provides for his frontiers, and puts good garrisons therein. At the last Diet of the bishoprics of Meisen, Mersenburgh & Naumburgh, are three of the aforesaid Duke's sons chosen to be Administrators of them severally, so that these bishoprics are provided with Lords in time of necessities. Certaynes days ago, their arrived in these parts Ambassadors from Denmark, Braudenburgh, Pomeron, Culembach and Dysenach, and were with his Highness. This morning the said Duke went towards the Frontiers towards Erfirt, to provide their for all manner of necessity, sending Attillarie and soldiers thither to lie in garrison, and there came 12. Wagons with munition, and certain pieces of Ordnance hither from Lypsich. From Vienna the 1. of junne. Concerning the Diet in Hungary, we We have advice that his Imperial Majesty did stay in Odenburgh, and the 26. of May he caused the States there present to meet, making his proposition in the Latin tongue unto them, and caused them greatly to rejoice, and delivered the same afterwards in writing unto them: the Bishop of Gran promised in the name of the States, that they would consult upon the same. And is concluded already, half Germany and half Hungarian garrisons to lay in the forts and strong holds; The diet prospers so well, that we hope his Majesty will be here ere long. Bethlem Gabor is not at Odenburgh, having been called back from his journey, his Lady being deceased: But the Lord Budeani was to meet there. The Hungarians likewise have further consented to let go 100000. cattles out of their Country, upon condition that they shall be paid with good money as in former time. This day is arrived here an Ambassador from the King of Denmark, but his Majesty being departed, went from Odenburgh, where he had audience by his Majesty; and being come back, related that his Imperial Majesty would device means to bring the Empire to peace, because that those that were quiet might not be disturbed. The success Time will reveal. From Prague the second day. Hear are daily celebrated in great state and pomp the Processions, being followed by diverse Orders. From Glatts we hear, that they have surprised Niourat, climbing over the walls by night, and slew the garrison, amongst whom was a company of horse and their Commander and having pillaged it, and set it on fire Glats should be besieged, but they go slowly on that lie thereabout, and stand in great doubt. Klingenbergh is besieged, but will not surrender, make many sailies, and do great hurt: the garrisons of Tabor and Brid wis are sent thither already. From Lausnits the third day. They have written yesterday from the city of Zitta, that it had reigned there brimstone, which did give, not only an evil smell, but it kindled and burned likewise as other brimstone. We understand also, that diverse times in the night, did come two fiery horsemen before the city, at whose approach all the Gates opened, being followed by a whole Army of horse and foot, and coming upon the market place, vanished quite away. From Wirtzburgh the eight day. Monday last we hear marched through this city 12000. foot and 1000 horse of the Emperor's forces, being conducted by the General Verdugo, they have a great train after them, & many horse take their way towards Meningen, against them of Haluerstat, who march towards Rottenburgh: to morrow should follow them yet certain thousands, and are joined with them also certain thousands of our trained men, with 9 pieces of ordnance, and beside these we keep yet certain thousands of trained men in the country. From great Geraw the tenth day. The Landgrave Lodowicke of Darmstat is with the marquis of Dourlach at Darmstat, where are both the Armies of Mansfelt, which lie here about, following in his Coach the Camp, accompanied with his son. From Frankfort the twlfth day. The army of Mansfelt is Thursday last departed from great Geraw, and marched towards Manheim, to what intent is not known. The Landgrave is still in the army. Tilley in the mean time makes himself very strong, a great number of his forces being arrived about Darmstat, have had many skirmishes with Mansfelts forces. The Duke Christian of Brunswick did arrive last night at Nidda, belonging unto the Landgrave of Hessen, and is but four Dutch miles from hence, and came this night near this city, being seen already diverse of his forces; and it is likely some stratagems will be set on foot ere long, but in the mean time the countries hereabout are indifferently mightily spoilt and ruinated. We have likewise now certain news, that the Baron of Anbolt is joined with Monsieur Tilley, and is about Zumgenbergh. From Collen the 14. day. Yesterday was reported here, that in the dominion of the Landgrave of Darmstat; had been diverse and great skirmishes betwixt Mansfelts and the Spanish forces, and that Mansfelt had gotten a great overthrow. But this day we are advertised from Ments and thereabouts, that there have been great knocks given, but that Mansfelt had obtained the victory; and after the lame transported his forces over the Rhine, which caused no small fear to those of Ments. We do understand likewise, that the Duke Christian of Brunswick is to join with Mansfelt. The offects will be known hereafter. From Mastright we understand, that the Spanish forces have their rendezvous there and at Diest, and we apppointed there likewise the forces in Flanders, as amongst them those that lay before Sluice, being the Forts and Sconces beset with Country people, and should daily more be levied of them for the defence of the country. But whither the Spanish forces are to march, is not yet known. They would fain have put in Sherwghenbosch an hundred men more, but that the Citizens would not receive them. From Wesel the 15. day. Count Henry of the Bergh, is with his forces yet here about, and looks for more aid. Count Henry Frederick of Nassau, is arrived at Emricke, and do likewise daily there, and at Rees diverse horse and foot come, to what intent is unknown to us. In Zealand are certain ships landed, coming from England with soldiers to be dispersed amongst the English Regiments in those Provinces. There is brought in a good prize here, and other also at Amsterdam and Duchuysen, and we are likely to have daily more and more, in regard of the ships abroad. The two Pirates of Dunkirk have saved themselves in a Port of Scotland, but our men of war lay in wait for them. From Venice the third of june 1622. Is written from Naples, that those that have caused lately the Commotion, are daily clapped up, and that the marquis de Terrico did levy a Regiment for Milan. Letters the 16. of May from Constantinople do declare, that the great Turk, under colour to visit the sepulchre or tomb of Mahomet, intendeth to make a notable attempt against the Christians, being his navy four score sail strong, bound unto Archipelago, to join with the Galleys of Rhodes; likewise were diverse other Galleys sent towards the Black Sea, against the Gosacks, seeing that notwithstanding the peace concluded with Polonia, they did rob in the aforesaid Sea, which likely will cause the war to be renewed against the said Kingdom. From Milan we understand, that the governor hath published a proclamation whereby all those that have borne any office since the year 1592. are commanded (upon life) to give notice of their goods, and rents, & to show how they have gotten the same. We are advised from Bundten, that the confederated have recovered Mayeuelt, and besieged Chur, and that there is made preparation to rescue the same; at the other side, those of Zurich, Basil & Barn have sent aid unto the confederated aforesaid. The 13. Cantons of Switzerland have also sent an Ambassador to the Archduke Leopoldus, to know his resolution, whether he will surrender the Veltolines and other places taken; and in case of denial they will assist them. From Breslaw in Silecia the second day. The country of Oppelen a general assembly there being made to invest the brother of Bethlem Gabor, was invaded by five thousand Cosacks, which have done great hurt by pillaging, robbing & burning, & 5000 more are coming, resolved to travel to Glats through Silecia. Two days ago are sent from hence towards Glats certain Wagons with munition, and two pieces of Ordinance, every one of them drawn by an 100 Horse, which being not strong enough, they were enforced to send for more. The Bishop of Ments will be at the siege himself, and will be inquartered with his Forces at Franckensteyn. Here is News likewise, that the old Count of Thurn is marching with 6000. Wallaches, and 30000. Turks and Tartars to rescue the City of Glats. From Vienna the 8. of june. His Imperial Majesty is yet at Odenburgh, and the States of Hioigary consult daily about his Propositions. The Lord Stensell Thurso is elected and sworn Palatine of Hungaria. The States of Hungaria will not suffer by any means that the jesuits shall possess any goods in the Kingdom. Bethlem Gabor hath sent his Ambassador to the Dyete, but consults not with the States, and hath sent a fair Turkey Horse, with rich furniture unto the Emperor for a present. The Lord Budianis hath likewise sent his Ambassador, but he stands very firm to his Propositions. But nevertheless they hope, that the Dyetes will soon come to take a happy end. The Ambassador of Denmark it seems hath no other charge but to exhort the Emperor, that he will be pleased to appease the Empire; it is thought that he shall be soon disparcht. From Prague the 9 of june. From Glats we hear, that their Garrison hath slain diverse Companies of horse of the Count of Lightenstein in a sally, whereupon are sent from hence certain Wagons with Munition, and 6. Pieces of Ordinance, to take effectually the siege in hand. In the mean time, have those of Glats joined with their Forces the 6000. revolted Moors, and having armed the same, have taken lately a Town, called Winschellurgh, beset with five Companies, which were almost all slain or taken. And the old Count of Thurn is marching with great Forces to rescue Glats aforesaid. Those of Klingenbergh stand yet bravely out, and lately assaulting their enemies, have killed many in their Sconces, and pulled them down, returning with one of their Colours. Sunday last is here Proclaimed and published, that all the debtors of those that have left the Country, as of the executed and arrested persons, shall make known upon great penalty unto the Commissioners, thereunto appointed, what they own them, and pay afterwards at a certain time the same. This next Sunday are the Catholics to take the Church of the Sussits in the little Town for their own use. From Leipsich the 12. of june. The Duke of Saxon Elector is as yet at Langensaltz. The General Wolf of Mansfelt, marches up to morrow with the red and yellow regiment, and 500 horse, towards Duringen; whereupon the Country people shall return home again. From Frankford the 16. of june. In the last Skirmish betwixt the Spanish forces, and them of Mansfelt, are on both sides slain about 1000 men. The Count's horses being not seconded in time by his foot, did retreat without disorder. On the Spanish side, besides the Baron of Bussy, are diverse great officers killed. But they have taken prisoner the young Palsgrave of Birkenvelt with certain officers. Hereupon are the Spanish marched on with resolution, to lay a bridge over the Main, betwixt Hannaw and Steinheim, to cut off the passage of the Duke of Brunswick, but understanding how strong he was, and not fare from thence, have taken up their bridge, being almost half finished, and inquarterd themselves about Eberstadt, and there about in the dominions of the landgrave of Darmstadt. This last night about ten a Clock are some of the Forces of Brunswick arrived at Henst (belonging unto the Bishop of Ments) being conducted by Kniphowsen, discharging presently their Ordinance against it; they lie yet there: and near the Town is seen a great fire, to what purpose we know not yet. Many of his Commanders are in this City, being all the Inns most taken up, we are likewise to hear shortly of some notable attempt. From Cullen, the 18. of june, we have but little or no news to write at this present, the news of Ments, is not so good as we did write at first, being a great number of eminent Officers sent thither and buried. From Westphalia, we hear that the Spanish forces, were marched towards Lapsstadt, and demanded great sums of money of the Town besides 7. men. Other say that they have besieged Ravenspurgh, the certainty you shall have by the next. From Franckfort, the 19 of june, Thursday last, being the 16. of this month, are certain hundreth men come out of the chief quarter of the Duke of Brunswick, to summon the Town of Henst, but they have defended themselves bravely, doing great hurt with their shot, but being summoned the third time, and denying to surrender the Town, there were sent great forces to take it, which the besieged espying, and that there was no succour at hand, they have abandoned the Town and Castle, flying all that could over the River of Maine: whereupon the forces of Brunswick taking it, slew all the Soldiers they could meet withal. And the said Duke is at this present upon the Castle. The same Evening, about 9 of the clock, are the Chief Lieutenant Paep, the Captain of a troop of horse called Coert, and the Lieutenant of Ercklens with 120. horse of the Duke aforesaid, passed the Main at Tunneckheim, and met on Friday, about 4. a clock in the Morning, a Company of foot of their Enenemies, which they have assaulted and defeated, taking 70. prisoners, Yesterday, is the whole Bavarian Army seen near this City, and did lie all this night about the same, the vanguard, is of 30. Cornet of horse, amounting to 1500. and 3000. foot. Mansfeild comes here with his Army likewise, so that it is likely, that shortly some blows will be given. There is come an English Ambassador to the Duke of Branswicke, to deal with him about a cessation of Arms, and they say that Monseur Tilley, hath consented unto the same. The Landgrave Lodovic, of Darmstadt is sent to Mainheim, and his Son the young Landgrave is here. We understand from France, that the King went on with his resolution, notwithstanding that many did go about to agree the matter. Those of Rochel strengthen themselves daily and fortify the City. We hear that the Count of Soissons, is near unto them, with ten thousand men, but the Rochellers do their best endeavour to keep the Command of of the Sea. They have received lately some English Soldiers but disarmed, some say 400. some but 180. Hear is certain news that 5. Ships, arrived from the East Indies, of which two are English, one for Sea-land, and two for texel, being very richly laden. And bring news that the affairs and traffickes of the Indies were in good a estate, And that 5. Ships the last year being departed from hence, were arrived at jucatra, within the space of four months and three days, the like was never done by any of our Ships. FINIS
