Vienna Inn 13.23.  
THE general Treaty of peace betwixt the Emperor and the King of France, and the Crown of Sweden is appointed to begin the 25. of March with the French, they will treat at Munster, and with the Swedes at Osnaburg, and during the treaty the garrisons shall be drawn out of both places, and the said places shall in the mean time remain neutral, yet if so be that contrary to all expectation the treaty should be dissolved without an happy effect, the said garrisons shall enter those Towns again as they marched out, and the first day of May an Imperial Diet shall be held at Frankford on the Main, or Speier, what good success it will have time will show.   

Basil jan. 12.22.  
The French and high Dutch troops under the command of General Major Erlach, which relieved the Fort of Hohenwiel, and provided the same again with all necessaries, have fired the Imperial Camp, demolished the Sconces, & thereupon are gone again to their old quarters, Erlach to Brislack, and Oissonville and Lieutenant Colonel Rosa (unto who is given Colonel Mullers Regiment of horse) are gone for Paris: in this siege hath been in the Fort of Hohenwiel 400. soldiers; 300. women and children, and a good store of provision, and most that they wanted was water.   

Hamborough jan. 15.25.  
The King of Denmark is at Christian Pries, and is willing now to enter into a friendly treaty with this City: They writ for certain that the Count of Aversberg (as Imperial Ambassador) is appointed for the treaty of peace betwixt the Emperor and the King of France and the Crown of Sweden, and is arrived at Wolffenbuttle to go to Munster. Some few days ago divers Swedish regiments marched towards the Bishopric of Magdeburg, where they took away many horses and cattles at H●l●nstat also: they have ruinated two Luneburgish companies, insomuch that the Swedes and Luneburgish are now enemies one against another: The Imperial Army is broke up, and is marching towards the Bishopric of Halberstat directly against the Swedes; the sick soldiers and dismounted horsemen are sent to their appointed quarters: The strong Castle of Mansfeld remains besieged by the Imperialists, which they have begun now to undermine; some are of opinion that it will not be able to hold out long.   

Vienna. jan. 19, 29.  
Concerning the Palatine treaty there is now good hope; it is reported that the Duke of Bavaria will restore both the upper Palatinate, and that part which he hath in the lower Palatinate, if so be that the King of Spain will accommodate himself in like manner: Incontinueth that the general treaty of peace shall be reassumed a new at Munster and Osnaburg the 20. or 25. day of March, to which end the letters of safe conduct are delivered out already for France and Sweden.   

Leipzigk jan. 13.23.  
At this instant we receive letters from Magdeburg certifying that the whole Imperial Army hath kept general rendezvous at Ashersleben, being resolved to go in three several places, as namely at Stasfurst, Egglen and Gennersleben over the River of Pude, and to march against the Swedes, to which end they labour here to repair a shipbridge for them; the Swedrs are resolved to expect the coming of the Imperial Army: From Silesi they writ, that Carlach hath yielded upon discretion, and Stolhans hath likewise forsaken at Beuthen one of the Sconces, the rest the Imperialists hope likewise to muster shortly; it is reported that the Imperialists have taken prisoner the Swedish Colonel Shulman, together with 500 horsemen of Stolhans his army.   

Collen jan. 14.24.  
The great flving of he inhabitants both of Cities, Villages and Cloisters by water and land towards this City continueth still because of the great progress of the Weymarish and Hessish forces which take one place after another: Fieldmarshall Hatzfeld with his troops is retiring towards the Yffell and mosel to join with the Lorraine troops which are arrived about Wormbs: The City of Bonne is to take in a 1000 foot, and 300. horse of Hatzfelds forces: The Magistrates of this City cause the Drums to be beaten day and night to take up some 1000 volunteers for the securing of this City; within the space of three days the price of the corn risen from 8. to 10. florins: this City is so full of the Country people that are fled hither, as it hath been by men's memory, and these troubles stop now all trading: the City of Doringen the Imperial soldiers themselves have fired: The principality of Bergk and the Duke of Newburg have already agreed with the Weymarish and Hessish forces to pay contribution unto them: The overthrow of Lamboy is fare greater than at first was mennoned, some that lay amongst the dead, and afterward through a secret way came hither to this City, look most miserable and pitiful, which say that their army is totally ruinated, and that not above three or four hundred men could escape. General Lamboy with eighteen other Colonels was brought prisoner into the Cloister of St. Tunes, and from thence was carred towards the Rhyne: The Nobility and Gentry, upon which heretofore we did much rely, run now all away, and will not fight, leaving behind them all their lands and goods.   

Dusseldorp the 14.24. of jan.  
What great overthrow General Lamboy had near Huckelsheim the 7.17. of this month, hereof we see daily sufficient witness. In this overthrow about 5000. of his men were taken prisoners, and he lost all his baggage, artillery, and the most part of his Standards and Ensigns: The City of Ordingen was forced to pay 3000. Rixdallers for a ransom. The flying of the poor inhabitants both women and children, and a number of the Clergy, which for divers years together did not once come out of the Cloister, we have continually seen from the 8.18. of this month till yesterday. Our Prince the Duke of Newburg hath obtained the Neutrality for his subjects, but the Nobility and Gentry are excluded.   

Collen the 15.25. of jan.  
Fieldmarshall Hatzfeld hath propounded three points to our Magistrates. 1 To grant him a free ferry before this City over the River of Rhyne. 2 That in case of necessity he may retire under the protection of this City. 3 That they shall take into this City two or three thousand men of his forces for a guarrison: the two first points they have granted him, but the third they have denied. The townsmen at Bonne flee for the most part hither to this City.   

Emmerick the 15.25. of jan.  
The 9.19. of this month two Weymarish Colonels went from hence towards the Hage to the French Ambassador, to fetch order whither the imprisoned Commanders shall be carried. General Lamboy was wounded in his thigh.  
The 10.20. of this instant, the City of Kempen was surrendered unto the Weymarish by composition, wherein they found above 3000. sacks with corn, and other rich booty. Colonel Newenheim Governor of Kempen, who heretofore ransacked the Palatinate, and made great spoil in it, seeing that the battle was lost, fled with his best goods from thence, but he was overtaken by the Weymarish, and himself and his wife with much ado saved themselves into Gelder.   

Duyren the 15.25. of jan.  
Divers of Lamboyes soldiers that fled out of the battle, and came hither, unanimously relate, that in many years so many men were not slain and taken prisoners, as in this battle, they could not save one Wagon. On Sunday last Fieldmarshall Hatzfeld lay round about this City, and retired in a great confusion.  
Three days ago the dispersed Lamboyish troops recollected themselves before this City, and did great mischief in the Suburbs, which have been 600. horse, and 400. foot, and 1000 horsemen of Hatzfelds forces were with them to conduct them to the Army: in Dormagen the Weymarish have surprised and totally routed and defeated 800. dragooners, and afterwards fired the Town: The other day 3000. Weymarish horsemen came before this City, and having understood which way the remainder of Lamboy's forces had retired, pursued close after them as fare as Seligh, where at last they lighted upon them, totally touted and defeated them, and obtained twelve standards more: Colonel Rosa sent a trumpeter hither into this City demanding quarter for his men, whom the Magistrates answered, that Lamboy and Hatzfeld had demanded the like, but being they were neutral, they hoped that he would likewise spare them, whereupon Rosa replied, That he would shortly break the Neutrality with his Canons. The other day the Weymarians passed here by with a great booty.   

A perfect List of the Imperial Commanders and Officers that were slain and taken prisoners in the last overthrew of Lamboy, as the same was delivered up to Count de Guebrian the 7.17. of jan.

Collen the 17.27. of jan.  
The Hatzfeldish Infantry lies enquartered at Bonne, Andernach and Lins, on this side of the River of Rhyne, and the Chavallery is gone to Andernach to the other side of the River. The dispersed Lamboyish troops which recollected themselves here and there, are totally routed and defeated again by the Weymarish. All the Weymarish forces lie now about Nuys, which they batter fiercely. Here in this City the Drums are continually beaten to take up 4 or 5000. men. Every night watch here in the City 6. Companies of Citizens.  
On Friday last the Elector of Collen and Fieldmarshall Hatzfeld came hither into this City to put all things in order.   

Collen the 18.28. of jan.  
When the Weymarish and Hessish forces lay with the main Army about Neus, and caused the said City to be summoned, but the besieged resolved to defend themselves to the last man: wherefore in the mean time Colonel Rosa with 3000. horsemen, pursued after the remainder of Lamboyes Army, which under the command of Colonel Zell, and Sergeant Major de Grange 2000 horsemen strong were marching to join with Hatzfeld, upon which he lighted about Zulch, encountered with them, and pursued after the fugitives as far as Munster Eyffell. It is said that he hath obtained 12 Standards more, insomuch that of Lamboyes whole Army very few are remaining. It is not yet known whether the abovesaid Colonel Zell and Grange are taken prisoners, or escaped. The foresaid City of Zulch hath paid for a ransom 5000. Rixdallers: hereupon they summoned the City of Duyren, but it is doubted whether they will accommodate themselves before the Canons are brought before it. General Tupadell lies before Neus, which City he batters fiercely, that we can hear under the gates of this City: mean while the parties over-runne the whole Country, and take away all what they find. The other day they met with some Carts and Wagons coming from Cleve hitherwards, which they took away. Field-marshal Hatzfeld is yet here, and his Infantry at Andernach, Bonne, Breul, and other places, using the inhabitants very cruelly. The Cavalry is gone to the other side of the Rhyne into the Country of Bergk, insomuch that the Weymarish have no resistance at all.   

Wesel jan. 19 29.  
All the Colours and Standards which were taken from General Lamboy, are brought to Oysey, about 130. in number: the Standard of Lamboyes Life Regiment, together with others, shall be sent to cassel to present them to the young Landgrave of Hessen. The Governor of Gelder offers to pay a ransom for those that were taken of his guarrison. In the Cloister of Knechlenberg & Brouwyder the Weymarish found great store of provision, and not one man. The fair Castle of Dick, and the little City of Hulckerat they have likewise taken, the houses of Ners, Hulcdunck and Calenburg they have pillaged, and Nelen they have burned: in a word, the whole County of Kempen is under their devotion, which in all this war hath suffered almost nothing▪ The Duke of Newburg hath bestowed upon Cont de Guebrian a great Vat of wine, and stands now in a treaty with him.   

Collen the 19.29. of jan.  
The 16.26. of january the Weymarish forces begun to batter fiercely the city of Neus and to fling fire balls into it, whereupon the 17.27. of this instant about ten of the clock in the forenoon it was surrendered by composition, the besieged wanted powder and shot: Fieldmarshall Hatzfeld who is expecting out of all garrisons, and from the river of Rhyne more assistance, will go to field very shortly against the Weymarish, and being the Weymarish are for the present Masters in the field, and no resistance can be made, we must let them domineer as they list, we look only to the principal cities to keep them strongly guarded: Into Nuys the Weymarish have laid 1500. men for a garrison, and yesterday they came before Sons: the citizens in Nancy plotted to the said city and castle, and to deliver it over to the Duke of Lorraine, but the French garrison was too strong for them, and killed a great number of them.   

Amsterdam the 20.30. jan.  
The 17.27. of jan. the city of Nuys was surrendered unto the Weymarish and Hessish forces. The Swedish army under the command of General Terstensehn is broke up, but which way it will take we shall shortly hear: 6000. men of the States forces lie likewise ready to go to field, if the Spaniards stir to aid Hatzfeld, in so much that the seat of war will wholly be removed into the Bishopric of Collen, and it is certain, that Colonel Rosa hath totally wasted and defeated again about Zulch 2000 of Lamboyes fugitive horsemen, and obtained twelve standards, in so much that they have got now about 130. ensigns and standards, and the 14.24. of this month they lighted also upon 600. Spanish foot with fire locks, the most part whereof they have put to the sword.   

Collen the 23. of jan. the 2. of Feb.  
The 17.27. jan. the Imperial garrison marched out of Nuys, which was conducted to Duseldorp and used very well: the said City is to pay for a ransom 30000. Rixdallers, which City the Weymarish fortify exceedingly, and is guarded by Colonel Oheim with 1500. men: Zons, Kempen, Bergem, Caster, Grevenbruck, Betper and other places have likewise accommodated themselves: the Weymarish horsemen ride in and out at Dusseldorp, at Orringen; some of their troops are passing the River of Rhyne, it is thought that they aim either at Keyserswerth, or intent to assault Hatzfeld; in their camp they have published upon pain of high punishment, that none of their soldiers shall undertake to attempt any thing upon this City of Collen: the other five Commissioners were sent from hence to the said army to desire that this City might stand neutral with them, which the Weymarish will not condescend unto: I believe we shall not escape without paying them a great sum of money. General Tupadel and Rosa are marching now towards Duyren and Herpen: It is reported that Marshal de chastilion is likewise to come unto them from France with 18000. men, mean while the Spanish troops draw together on the River of Maase to join with Fieldmarshall Hatzfeld, who lies yet still expecting the Duke of Lorraine with his troops.   

Wesel the 23. of jan. the 2. of Feb.  
After that the Weymarish had left their regiments in Nuys for a garrison, the main army broke up again and came the 19.29. of january before Kempen, and yesterday they battered the said place fiercely that we could plainly hear it here; it is said, that some Spanish forces have got into it, how they will speed time will show. At this instant a horseman coming from the Bishopric of Collen, relates that those of Kempen stood in a parley, so that it is not doubted but that the Weymarish have already taken possession in it.  
There is not one Boor to be seen all the way long from Collen as far as Aken; the soldiers find every where the houses so full of victuals, bacon and smoked flesh, that it is not to be expected: Our bridges with some men of war are gone up higher the Rhyne, it is thought the Weymarish have an aim either at Keyserswerth, or that they intent to assault Hatzfelds forces, which time will show.   

Amsterdam the 29. of jan. the 8. of Feb.  
The Duke of Newburg hath obtained the neutrality with the Weymarish and Hessish forces: He hath delivered unto the Weymarish for their quarters the Cities of Glebbeck, Grevenbreck, Custer, Bebber, and the strong Castle of Reidt: The City of Duyren hath paid a sum of money to be freed of enquartering: Those of Collen have likewise desired the neutrality: Some letters mention that the Bishop of Collen is dead, others he is very sick, if he should die it would cause a great alteration in his country.  
From Munster they writ that Captain john Tersiegh hath defeated betwixt Borcken and Wesel a Hessish convoy of 100 foot and 40. horsemen, in which encounter the said Captain himself also was slain.
