BY an Express to a great Person it's certified, That the Queen mother is dead, and is verily believed. Monsieur is gone, being of the Plot; and some say a great one that must be nameless knew of it If M. Jermyn, M. Percy, and M Montague had not been gone for Holland, there was order to have stayed them here. The Duke of Bulloyn is prisoner at Turyn; some say his brother is got into Sedan: There were many in this Plot, and it falls out happily it is discovered; for France and Spain had joined, if the Plot had taken, which could not but have produced dangerous effects to England in this sad time of distraction. As for the Germane News, the under-written will fully satisfy you, being a most exact and impartial Relation of the present state of those parts.  
The Prince of Transilvania seeing the happy success of the Swedes, towards the hereditary Countries of the Emperor, and believing he hath now found a fit occasion to execute his design contrived long since, which is, To make himself King of Hungaria, doth begin to arm very powerfully: that preparation, with the happy progress of the Swedes, puts both the Emperor into great perplexity, and all Austria into an Alarm; for General Tortonsen, after his taking of Necosse, having pursued the Imperial Army into Moravia hath caused them to retire, and take their post toward the Frontiers of Hungaria, near to Malsborgh, and Badison, whither Piccolomini is gone with all diligence, to put the Imperial Army in good order; but because the Troops which are come out of high Saxony and Franconia are dispersed, and for that the Swedes are come between them, they can very hardly join; besides some Regiments of the Emperors which are amongst them, are mutined, and have pillaged the Baggage of the Arch duke Leopoldus: Likewise it is not known whether it were the Swedes or Imperialists that have pillaged 300 Wagons laden with very rich householdstuff, which was intended to have been saved out of Moravia, by conveying of it to Vienna: In the mean time Conningsmarck, a Commander of the Swedes, hath taken the Town of Olmits, the Capital of all Moravia, at the third Assault, and killed all which were found in Arms, from thence gone to Bruin, and it's believed at this time he will take it. Tortonsen threatens Gas and Prague; his Horse makes courses within 15 Leagues of Vienna, and doth expect speedily new succours out of Sweden. The Treaty with Luenburg goeth not forward, by reason that Hildesheim will receive no Garrison. Touching the Armies about the Rhyne, they remain in this state, each work upon their Bridges upon Boats, do fortify their Camps with new succours: Hatfeld hath received a new Supply of four Regiments out of Franconia and Small, and the Marshal de Guibriane, hath joined to him his confederates the Hessens and the Weymerians; the first is encamped about Zoiet, and the other near Ortingson: Don Francisco de Melo was not passed the River of Meise the first of this Month, but lodged between Riermond and Hepsemwert, and is in dispute with Hatfeld for the highest Command: but the Prince of Orange, and Martial de Guebriane agree very well, and their Camps are so near together, that their Armies seem to be but one body: there passeth in their quarters nothing but daily Skirmishes, in which the Imperialists lose many men, besides those which daily disband; but the want of Victual and Forage will in the the end force one Army or the other to a Battle, or to dislodge from their quarters. The Sea Fleet of the Dunkirkers was the third of this instant under their Fort, which is as well apprehended in England as in Holland.
