THE LAST DESCRIPTION OF THE SIEGE OF BREDA, WHICH IS NOW ENVIRONED BY THE Forces of the King of Spain, under the Command of the marquis SPINOLA: And a delineation of the Camp of the high and mighty States of the United Provinces, who sent lately the Prince of Orange, with the four English Colonels, and the Duke of BRUNSWICK, to relieve the Town. GEntle Reader, you have here the siege of the strong Town of Breda, with all the fortifications and outworks of it, besides the declarations of them. This Town of Breda lieth three leagues from Geertruydenberg, and as many from Sevenbergen: 3. leagues and a half from Oudenbosch, 5. leagues from Roosendael, 6. leagues and a half from Bergen up Zoome, Turnhout, and S'hertogenhosch, 9 leagues from Antwerp, 16. leagues and a half from Lillo, 9 leagues and a half from Liar: It is a fair and stately Town, and of a reasonable bigness, and hath a stately Palace, which is belonging to the Counts of Nassau, and Barons of Breda, whose Tombs are both in the Church and Castle to be seen. It is mightily strengthened and fortified since it was last of all taken by the States of the united Provinces. But to come to the siege of Breda, it is manifestly known how that his Excellency the marquis Spinola having caused many horse and foot to meet on the 19 and 20. of july about Liar, he went presently towards Hoochstraeten, and when he had fortified it, and Turnhout, he inquartered his forces in the villages of Chaem, Baerle, Alphe and Gilsen, and let them lie there until the midst of August, about which time he sent Count Henry Vanden Berg towards the Town of Grave, and caused Count john of Nassau to march likewise thitherwards, with many thousand foot, and a thousand of horse to make a show as if he would have besieged the same Town. But on the 26. of August his Excellency the marquis Spinola sent the Colonel Don Francisco de Medina with his Regiment, with many other Companies, and 1000 horse. The 27. of August came the marquis Spinola with his whole Army before the Town of Breda, and he pitched his own tent presently down in the village of Ginneken. The 28. of this Month the marquis Spinola appointed his Army to be divided in three several quarters and to be laid about it. The first quarter extendeth from the Boschgate unto the gate that leadeth towards Tetteringen, and continueth unto the River of Mark, which was given to Signior paulo Baglioni who hath under him his Regiment of Italians, besides other Italians, and 5000. Walloons, which began to entrench themselves presently. And it happened that the same day about noon there were twelve Barks and a Pinnace by the Spanish taken about ter Heyden being bound for Breda. And afterwards Signior Baglioni laid a strong bridge upon the afore mentioned River, and raised two forts of each side. The second quarter is at Ginneken, in which village is the marquis Spinola & the Count of Salasar lodged, besides diverse other Lords The third quarter is in the village called ter Hage, and standeth under the command of Count john of Nassau, who is some 5000. men strong both horse and foot. The 30. of August began the Spanish to make five royal Forts besides many Redouts and Sconces round about the Town. The sixth of September was the town wholly environed, notwithstanding that they within made sallies, and played continually with their Ordnance upon the trenches and other works of their approaching enemies. The Prince of Orange having understood that the marquis Spinola meant earnest with the siege of Breda (seeing that he had not only compassed it about with many Forts, Redouts, and strong Trenches, but sent moreover for more aid) he gathered presently all his old soldiers, with the forces of the four English Colonels, and marched up with them as if he would have besieged either Wesel, Goch or Berch, but altering his course afterwards very suddenly, upon some advices given to his Excellency, he came down with his whole Army with an intention to relieve Breda, and sat down with it on the 29. of September at a village which is called ter Heiden, being but a league from Breda, and having mustered his forces he got some companies of his in the Town. And we have even now gotten tidings that the Prince of Orange hath made an assault upon the Camp of the marquis Spinola, and defeated many of his soldiers, but specially in the quarter of Signior Paulo Baglioni, although the marquis got lately 5000. foot & 1000 horse of Monsieur Tilly in his camp, besides Count Henry Vanden Berg with his whole Army.
