A Relation of the victory, which the Sweads have had against the King of Denmark's Forces in Jutland, As we have it by Letters of good credit, from Hamborough, dated, Jan. 16 & 19  
WHat success the Swedes have had in the King of Denmark's Dominions, you have heard of it heretofore, I must acquaint you now with a further progress they have made. The Swedish General Major Coningsmarck having quartered for a time in the Bishopric of Hildesheim, is now drawing with his forces into the Bishopric of Bremen, the Bishop, who is second son to the King of Denmark, being fled from Bremerfend to Stoad, the Swedish forces go on in taking one place after another to Holstein and jutland, and ●e●●ing all under contribution, till frost came, ●●●y 〈…〉 of the marsh grounds, 〈…〉 possessed themselves thereof, yet was without blows, the peasants in the place called Wilster, had laid two Sconces upon the passage, which were assaulted by the Swedish forces, whom they of Gluekstatt, understanding, sent out a Captain with 100 men to assist them, but coming too late, the Swedes being Master of the first Sconce, the soldiers retired to the other Sconce, to join with them that kept it, but contrary to expectation, they find that place forsaken by the peasants, so they in good time shifted for themselves, but were taken short, their Lieutenant slain: This day also we have news, that the Swedish forces have made themselves master of Ditmarsh, there being some 150 peasants slain, 300 taken prisoners, and some 200 fouldiers, that did assist them, have taken service under the Swedes: We have likewise news this day, that the 600 levied horse of the King of Denmark, which lay in jutland, having joined with the Gentry of the Country and Sleswyck being together strong 1600 horse, and four companies of levied foot are wholly routed by the Swedes, at a place called Colding, the chief commander taken prisoner, together with eight captains more, and 400 slain in the place, in so much that the King of Denmark will lose now all on this side the Beldt, and Gluekstatt will run now a great hazard. We We have also news from Sweden by a ship, that came in eight days from thence to Lubeck, that they have confiscated all Deanish goods in that Kingdom, and that Gustavus Horn was marchlng with an army of 20000 men into Schoven, which lies on the other side of Denmark, insomuch that the King of Denmark will shortly be forced to say farewell Sound, but they that are good Danish say, that Commissioners of both Kingdoms are to meet the 15 present at Colmar, to accommodate matters.   

A COPY OF A LETTER sent by his Excellency the Swedish General Torstensohn to General Major Mortagne, bearing date in the head Quarter Middlefart Sconce, the 14 of Jan. 1644.  
MY expedition against the Danish horse, I have communicated unto you in my last letter, whereupon I presently advanced and sat before the Camp, which they had pitched here, into which the Danish horsemen had retired, which having left there behind them their horses went in boats over the water, in the Camp a considerable number both of leaied soldiers, and of the Peasants was drawn together, and for three or four days together I caused the Camp fiercely to he battered with the Cannons, meanwhile the Danish RIX MARTIAL ANERTW BILL who was then there, betook himself with the Cannons, Colours, chiefest Officers, and the least part of the Common Soldiers to Mittlefahrt leaving behind him in the Camp the most part of the Soldiers, together with some Captains and under Officers: But when this day I advanced with the main strength of my Forces towards it, and the Forces that lay in the Sconce, saw the strength of my Forces, they threw away their arms, and came running out of the Camp to meet us, insomuch that the most High God shown us that favour, that together with a great part of the Horsemen; we took also 4500 foot (amongst which were a 1000 levied Soldiers, which took all service under us) without any loss, only some few were wounded, amongst which was an Ensign but the Peasants, which were mounted by the Gentry, were stripped by some of our naked Soldiers, and turned home, some of them freely desired to serve under us; being now the Danish Forces are here by for the most part ruinated, and this Country freed and cleared, that by God's assistance We need not to fear them, that on this side they will do us any hurt, for which fundamental blow we ought to give hearty thanks unto God Almighty, The Regiments are now gone to their quarters, which I thought to communicate unto you, etc.
