MANSFEILDS' ARRIVAL IN THE DUKEDOM OF BRABANT, and is already come on this side Brussels, Burning, Spoiling, and Ransoming the Country.  

From Rome the 16. of july.  
FRom Constantinople is written, that the Spahie commit daily great insolences, and diverse murders, and that lately there were sundry great persons put in prison, looking daily for more, which are likely to take an ill end. The great Turk, with some of his principal officers labour hard to take the matter up, and to bring all to quietness, and to the same effect, he goes many times openly by water to recreate himself also, and shows great liberality, by throwing of coin amongst the people.  
The Astronomers and Soothsayers do Prognosticate great shedding of blood in the Moon of Haban (as they call the same) and begins in june. The jews likewise being much threatened, do hide their goods.  
The King of Spain hath granted his brother the Cardniall of Toledo, to keep a Court, and hath apppointed for him six principal officers, eight grooms, and made the Marquis of Esse his Stuward. There are made over for Flanders 400000. Crowns. And for Milan 100000. Crowns.  
The Marquis Pinello, walking with a Knight, and his men, through the City of Naples, one accompanied with a Lay Friar came to them, and would have shot the Knight with a Pistol, but he mistook his mark and escaped, but the Lay Friar was taken by the servants of the said Marquis, and being carried into the Palace of the Pope's Nuncio, he sent presently diverse officers to his Sell, where they found one Paulus Ambrose of Cremona, which likewise being an enemy unto the said Marquis, was apprehended. And they found there instruments fit for thirty persons to coin withal. The lay brother, offers to reveal great matters, if they will save his life.   

From Hagenaw in Alsatia the 23. of july.  
This day is our garrison of Count Mansfeild departed quite from hence, to join with his Army, having taken certain men of note and ability, as likewise some rich jews, and desire 120000 Ducats for their ransom.  
By Letters of the twenty six, from the same Town is written in this manner. We hoped after the departure of Mansfeilds' forces to live a little at rest, but we have gotten a new garrison of the Archduke Leopoldus, and though we suffered them peaceably to come in, yet we fear they will take from us what is left by the former.  
From Rome the 23. of july. The Viceroy of Naples, hath dismissed the soldiers that were in the Galleys of the Pope, sailing to Messina.  
Likewise the Counsel is agreed by consent of the King of Spain, with the Ambassador of Venice, The Ship called the Moon, taken the last year, with all the wares that were in the same; and have begun to do it already, but many pieces of cloth are spoilt, and the things lost, the Duke of Ossuna is to make good.  
The Duke of Modena, hath resigned his Government unto his eldest Son, and prohibited the wearing of Pistols, upon pain of death, with many other things.  
The Duke of Savoy hath sent one of his Secretaries towards Valisuna, to leavy certain Companies of Soldiers: At the other side the Governor of Casal in Montferat hath dispatched twenty thousand men towards Trino, to raise certain Forts in those places, and increased the Garrison of Casal aforesaid.  
There are likewise seen certain Horse of the Duke of Savoy upon the frontiers of Vorcelli.  
From Avignon are marched eight hundred Soldiers, with eight Pieces of Ordinance towards Languedoc, against the Protestants, and the King hath besieged Nimes, with the same.  
The Duke of Guyse, hath commanded at Marsilia certain Galleys, and Ships, to be made ready against the Rochellers. Don Octavio di Arragona, is sailed from Sicilia, with 7. galleys against the Turks.  
We understand here, that a Turkish Basshaw, of the late strangled Turkish Emperor, being twenty Galleys strong, is joined with the Cossack's near the black Sea: which combining together, do great hurt unto the Turks, and rob them as fare as Adrianople.   

From Venice, the 22. of july.  
The Duke of Mantua, hath 3000. foot, and 600. horse in readiness, which are to be sent to the frontiers of Monferat, and he gets daily more aid from Florence, being the great Duke of Florence, apppointed by the King of Spain, to appease all commotions of Italy, to which purpose he is to maintain 4000 men, and the Duke of Vrbino, as likewise he of Parma, every one 3000. men, in time of war.   

From Venice, the 29. of july.  
The Grisons having recovered Engadine, are passed the Mountains, and have invaded the County of tyrol, and driven a great number of Cattles from thence; whereupon the Archduke Leapoldus prepares to resist them.  
The Governor of Milan, hath promised pardon to the Spanish forces; that are fled from Veltoline, if they will be enrolled again within a fortnight, the other that will not do the same shallbe slain, and killed, wheresoever they are found.  
Letters of Genua, relate the Arrival there, of the Venetian Ambassador from Spain, and that he brings news, that Mamora, is very straitely besieged by the Hollanders, and Moors of Barbary, and that it will be shortly surrendied, unless they get speedily aid.  
The Montafoner have made a league with the Grisons, reserving their liberty, and are called the fourth confederation. But Captain Pianta holding with the Enemies of his Country, hath burned of late diverse places in Engadin.   

From Vienna the 27 of july.  
Yesterday is the Coronation of the Empress at Edinburgh happily solemnised, and the Diet (as we understand) ended, so that we hope to see the Emperor here next Saturday. The Empress going to the Church, wore her own Crown, and the Palatine of Hungary his. And the Emperor and Empress went both afterwards with their Crowns adorned to the Imperial Palace, from whence the Crown of Hungary what shown to the people, and from thence they went to the Counsel house of the Town, where was a Feast prepared, and a Maskeacted.  
The 22. of this month are here passed by seven Companies of the Regiment of Saxony, going to the siege of Glatz.  
The 23. of the same month, is here the Church of Saint Michael rob of he● Pictures, silver Images, and guilded Crucifixes, and other ornaments.   

From Prague the 28. of july.  
Those of Glatz have lately again gotten one thousand Cattles, and great store of Salt and other Provision in their walls, and slain 100 men of the Imperials, and strengthen themselves daily.  
Likewise there are secretly levied Soldiers in Silesia, and are mustered near Frankford at the River of Oder, and to the same effect are here diverse horses bought at great rates, and sent out of the Country.  
Those of Klingenbergh are still of the same resolution, viz. They will not surrender the Town, unless they be assured that they shall departed with their Baggage, Arms, displayed Ensigns, and burning Matches, and have a convoy to conduct them safely at Glate: whereby it seems that they are not very desirous to surrender the place.   

From Prague the 2. of August.  
The nine and twentieth of july are arrived here, the Lord Frederick Gelhern, one of the privy Counsel of Silesia, and the Lord Isaac Slackher. Treasurer of the said Country, the Count Lichtenstein (Deputy of the Emperor in Bohemia) having sent for them, to be better instructed of certain affairs in that Country, and thereupon to give them directions.  
It continueth still that diverse of the Lords, Gentry, and Magistrates, shall be cited and accused by the Procurator, or Solicitor of the Emperor, how they will speed God knows. Klingenbergh is surrendered of late upon certain conditions (which we hope to receive by the next Messenger) and the Imperialists have put Garrison in the same. And the same forces which lay before it, besides those in Moravia and Austria, are to go with all speed before Glatz, to use all possible might and means to take it. For that Garrison within doth not only rob and pillage all the way towards Kening graitz, and there about, but likewise taketh all the grain in those parts from the Country people.   

From Bordeaux the 16. of August.  
The low Country Merchants which are Subjects of the States of the united Prounces, and are now resident here, have petitioned unto the Court, that seeing they were daily abused both by words and deeds by certain persons, it would please the same to remedy it by her Authority. Whereupon the Court hath taken them in the safeguard and protection of the King, prohibiting all and every one not to wrong them, neither by words or deeds, declaring that he that shall contravent the same, shall forfeit one thousand pounds sterling, besides charges and damages, which are to be paid. This Proclamation is published and affixed at the usual places.   

From Bergen up Zome this 17. of August.  
The marquis Spinola intending to take very earnestly in hand the siege of Bergen up Zrme, hath written to Antwerp for more Ordinance: He is likewise busy to raise certain Sconces betwixt this Town and Antwerp, to lodge in times of necessity, and principally in the night the connoyes with munition, and provant, seeing the Garrisons of the States, do many times annoy the same.  
And lately certain Soldiers of Captain Deventer lying within Gorkem, have taken eleven horse of the Spanish Camp before this Town, and brought them prisoners into their Garrison.  
Every thing grows in the Enemy's camp daily more dear and dear, a Can of Becre cost four Stuyr, a pound of Butter 14. Stuyr, a pound of Cheese six and eight Stuyr, which causeth many from thence to come to us, who have every thing good cheap, and in great abundance in the City.  
We Fortify daily our outworks and walls, and raise also diverse Batteries against the Enemy, sparing at neither side their Gunoowder, which causeth diverse on both sides to be hurt.   

From Antwerpt the 16 of August.  
Since your departure from hence there hath been many and often assaults made by this side upon the Forts and half Monnes of the Enemies at Bergen up Zome: But the Soldiers that came from thence, and have been themselves in the Fight report indifferently thereof, some saying they have taken in the half Moon, other reporting the contrary, some reporting they had it, but were beaten out of it forwant of Powder, their Bandiliers being all shot out, others say they had it but durst not stay in it for fear● that it was undermined, so that it seems they have it not. But soever it is a miserable thing to see those two last C●nuoyes that are come from Bergen, whereof the one came the last week with at least 300. men some say 400. or 500 some whereof have lost their Arms some their Legs, and others surely wounded, the rest very weak and sick, whereof within three days 40. of them died. And yesterday came a Convoy with Four or five hundred in the like case, so that the Easterling house is made a Guest house, wherein is already Four or five hundred Soldiers wounded and Sick, all Englishmen and Spaniards, each a part, and in the Guest house is as many Walloons and Dutch. It is so pitiful a thing to see them come so wounded that I am not able to write you.  
This day the English Soldiers of my Lord Vaus are gone to the Leaguer, a great part of them I perceive are of this Religion, and with this Convoy is gone 8. pieces of Ordnance each drawn with 18. Horses. There is about 400. Soldiers run away, and yesterday is 38. of them taken, which are all chained, and led this day with the Convoy to the Leaguer where it is reported they should be executed.  
The Boors come daily from fare with their Householdstuff and Corn, flying with fear to this place for safety; so that the Packhousen, art here hard to be had, and the yards of the linen Whitsters by the Easterling House, and other the like places within the walls of the City, serve now for Barns to put their Hay in, what I have writ you in this former part of my Letter, if you were here yourself, you might be an eye witness there of aswell as myself.  
Yesterday the Enemy took about Pit 30. of our Horsemen on the Highway. I think if many of our Englishmen were in England again they would be better advised, before they would come hither to take Bergen in. But I refer the further relation of such, of them as shallbe able to get for England again to report it.  
The number of those English Soldiers which are gone this day with the Convoy to Bergen, is as is said about 15. or 1600. men, but of better sort than those you saw at your being here.  
The opinion of taking Bergen is diverse, some think within two Months, others not in a year, & some suppose it will never be taken in.  
Some that came thence with Convoy affirm that 3. days past, this side shot through the Church as they Preached and did much hurt, which was done upon this occasion. That whereas this side lost many men, in seeking to take in the Sconce or half Moon, and that in the same place, the other side lost diverse men also, a Truce was made in the said place, for each side to fetch their Dead from thence: But when this side came to fetch theirs, the other side shot at them, which they did in regard that some of this side did undermine in the mean time in that Quarter or place, while the other came and fetched their Dead.  
I might write you many particulars of both Captains and Ensignebearers of English, Italians, Walloons, and others, all worthy men brought dead from the Leaguer to this Town, some to friends houses, and some to the Easterlings house, whereof I myself have seen some whose Names are made known, but other of greater Houses have had their names concealed, and are sunk by Night, some at Bregard, some at the Deminicans, some at the Grey Friars Minne brothers, and some at other places.   

From Middleburgh the 17. of August.  
Captain Klenter of Amsterdam, hath a great while shot against the Viceadmitall of Duynkirken, but he got yet at last his wished Port of Disynkerken aforesaid.  
A Pirate out of North Holland, sailing with a Turkish Pirate to try their Fortunes upon the Coasts of Spain, did lose one another, and the Hollander got afterwards a rich Spanish Ship, whereupon he sailed to Holland. But being met by the aforesaid Turk he set upon him, and being become Master of his Ship, he told him that he was his friend, and loved him dearly, but that the Prize was a great deal dearer unto him.  
The Prince of Orange gathers his Army at Harwynen, betwixt Bommell and Gorkin●, and the Gates were commanded to be shut at Dordrocht, and at the Ferries they had charge to land none, on the side of the City.  
It seems that he hath an enterprise in hand. His Excellency himself lieth yet near St. Hert●genbosh. Count Henry of Nassaw about Reas. And Count Henry vanden Lergh at Goch.  
A Post newly arrived here in London on Friday night last, being the 23. of August, brings certain news, That coming from the Palatinate towards England, as he passed thorough Brabant, he came thorough mansfield's Army, lying on this side Brussels, not fare from the same place which Grave Henrick of Nassau invaded lately: here he saw Mansfield with seven or eight thousand horse, burn and spoil the Country exceedingly: but still where he cometh, he first showeth them this courtesy, that those Cities, Towns. Villages, or any rich particular Gentlemen, or any others, that will ●ansome themselves and goods upon reasonable sums, he lets them rest quietly: but contrariwise, those that will not, he giveth the ordinary spoil to his soldiers, and he taketh most of the coin to himself.  
Likewise here was then news, that Gonzales coming towards him with great speed, being sent for by the Arch-Duchesse, he is almost already there, so that there will be shortly some great bickering between them: this is certain, that Mansfield was in treaty with the French King, but it was always thought his end was, but to get some opportunity; which now is come to light. It is thought, he will take the spoil of the Country, before Gonzales cometh, or any resistance can be made against him, he already hath obtained great sums of money: all his footmen he hath left with the Duke of Brunswick, a little beyond Brussels. This incursion of Mansfield, made upon Brabant, if Gonzales cometh not the sooner, must of necessity either make the marquis Spinola suddenly remove his siege from Bergen up Zome, or otherwise enforce Grave Henrick Vandenberg to leave the frontiers of Gilderland, who now lieth about Wesel: so by this means the Prince of Orange, who is constrained now to attend him, and to keep all those Forces in a manner idle for the safety of his Country, may then put those Forces to a better use.  
Concerning the Marriage of the Emperor: First, his Imperial Majesty and the Empress going unto the Church of the Franciscane Friars, they were accompanied by diverse Ambassadors, besides the Nuncio of the Pope, and diverse Lords and Ladies walking all in very good order: After many of them followed the Marshal, who carried the Sword before the Emperor, who being arrayed in in an Imperial habit, was adorned with his Crown, and had his Sceptre in his right hand, and the Globe of the Empire in his left. Before the Empress, who followed them close, went the Palatine of Hungary, with the Crown of the said Kingdom, the Lord Esterhasie with the Sceptre, the Lord Setsy with the Globe of the Kingdom aforesaid, besides a Bishop, who carried her Majesty's Crown: The Ladies of the Court, and the Maids of Honour, being all richly attired, and adorned with precious Stones, came immediately after.  
Secondly, as soon as both Majesties were entered into the Church, they kneeled down before the high or principal Altar. Whereupon the Archbishop holding a Book before his Majesty, he continued his Prayers for a while, being still adorned with his Habit, Crown, Sceptre, and Globe aforesaid. And from thence he went to the Choir (where a Seat was prepared for him) kneeling there likewise down. But the Empress remained still kneeling upon the first place; where, at the beginning of the Service, were divers Ceremonies used, and Music heard: afterwards the Epistle being read, the great Litany was sung; during which, she lay with her face downwards upon two pillows of Cloth of Gold, before the Altar aforesaid. The … e ended, the Lord Archbishop anointed ●er before she rose, betwixt her elbow and hand, as likewise her cheeks.  
Thirdly, the Ceremonies being finished, the Empress went away, being conducted by her Steward, the Lord of Didrichstain, besides other Lords, as likewise her she Steward, the Countess of Portia, and divers Ladies of her Chamber: But she came presently back to the Altar, arrayed in Cloth of Silver, being adorned also with a rich Chain and a Medal. Before her went the Lord Setsy, with the Globe of the Kingdom of Hungary; the Lord Esterhasie with the Sceptre, and the Palatine aforesaid with the Hungarian Crown: she followed them with her own Crown, being set upon her head by another Hungarian Bishop, which is very richly adorned with Pearls and precious Stones, and very artificially made. Afterwards, the Lord Esterhasie gave the Archbishop the Sceptre, the Lord Setsy the Globe, the Palatine the Crown; and he gave her Majesty the Sceptre in her left hand, the Globe in the right, and the Crown he set upon her right shoulder, and during the time that the Angelical Salutation was sung, she kept the same: afterwards they were taken from her again, and laid upon the Altar; whereupon was sung Te Deum laudamus, and the Empress having her own Crown upon her head, and the Hungarian Sceptre in her right hand, and the Globe in her left, was conducted to her ordinary Seat in the middle of the Choir, where a Theatrum was erected, and adorned with rich Tapestry and Hang of Cloth of Gold. At the left hand his Majesty continuing kneeling in his prayers, without changing his Imperial habit, the Marshal aforesaid kept his Sword, and two other Lords the Globe of the Empire, and the Sceptre. The Ceremonies, besides the usual Rites and Customs finished, the Emperor and Empress were conducted back to the Palace by the Lords aforesaid, both Spiritual and Temporal, as well Hungarian as German, besides the Ladies, their Majesty's being both still attired in their habits, and their train going in good order, as before: where there was prepared a stately Banquet for all these Guests, as well Hunger iuns as Germans.  
During the Coronation, a Citizen, who climbed upon the Cross of the Steeple of the Church aforesaid, flourished an Ensign, standing upon the same without falling, and the same was likewise afterwards done by diverse Germans and Hungarians; and amongst them, a Germane Soldier put all his clothes from his back unto his shirt, being upon the same.  
The Emperor, with the Empress, sat first down at the Table: at the right hand took the Pope's Nuncio place; after him, the Spanish Ambassador; then, the Ambassador of Mantua, at the left hand; besides the Archbishop of Hungaria, and the Palatine aforesaid. At this Banquet were diverse Hungarian Lords attending; and amongst other the Lord Esterhasi, the Lord Setsy, and the Count of Achot. The Banquet being ended, they went to the Council-house of the Town; where, in the presence of both Majesty's aforesaid, and the most part of the principal Lords of Hungary and Germany, besides the Ladies of both Nations, was for the space of seven hours great revelling and dancing, with much joy, and great respect performed.
