News from the Low Countries, or a Courant out of Bohemia, Poland, Germany, etc.  

From Crakow in Poland. july 4.  
THe Polonians have begun to war with the Turks, and the new General Kotkwits is gone with the whole army to Podolia: the report goeth, that they have had an hot skirmish with the Turks.  
The 24 of july we had here a general Assembly, who made a new taxation.   

From Caschaw. Iul 6.  
At Nustermts two mile from hence, Bethlem Gabor with the Turks and Tartarians fell upon those Hungarians which belong to the Emperor, and made a great slaughter of them. Posniak Thomas lost 400 men, and Steven Palfi which led 700 Husars, and 300 footmen was with his Ensign-bearer run through with a lance of his Husars, there escaped but 200. and of his footmen a very few. In like manner Howetferent which commanded 700 freebooters, came off with no more than 200. the rest being all slain, and Nicholas Bele● which with three cornets of horsemen went to help Bucquoy: was taken and brought to Newheusell, and of three cornets of horse, there escaped but 25.  
And now Bethlem Gabor marching forward with a great power of Turks and Tartars, many Towns, as the Berghstats and Villek, are yielded up unto him.   

From Weenen. Iul 17.  
This evening Bucquoys body shall be brought hither, many of his principal Officers and Gentlemen were slain with him and taken, and great spoils go●en by the enemy. Maximilian of Luhtensteene and Dieffenbach is in his place till another General be appointed.  
His Majesty hath sent unto Munchen in Bavaria and other places, to get aid wherewith to reinforce his army. As oft as those of Newheusell do take any Spaniards and Italians, they sell them unto the Turks, but they let the Dutch men have quarter.   

From Prague. Iul 16.  
The Duke of Luhtensteene presented 4000 men unto the use of his Imperial Majesty: here is great want of armour in this place. It is credily reported that the Grave van Mansvelt is above 20000 strong, and that folk do daily repair unto him.   

From Winterhuysen. Iul 18.  
In the last victory that we had over the Bauarians, we burned the town of Sitigfur, and chased the Bavarians: but the 16 of this month the enemy got upon a certain hill about half a mile from hence, whereupon the Geall Mansfield with 20 cornets of horsemen and five regiments of foot marched thither to join full battle with him; but the enemy that they might not join battle, stopped the passages: but about eight of the clock the musketeers met and skirmished till the evening. The enemy being put to the worse, lost great spoils and many men, among whom was the Commander Baur, with many other Captains and horsemen.  
The Lord General hath encamped near unto the Schans': men repair unto him very fast every day: the Princes are shortly to come together to make an agreement about some things. Monsieur Tilli is come half way and so is the Grave of Solms too. The enemy sent a Trumpeter unto us to request a truce for four weeks, but the Lord General granted it for four days, and so it remains.   

From Frankfurt Iul 24.  
It is certified unto us from Weenen that the Count Bucovoy with 80 horsemen, amongst whom were many of his most principal officers going to take a view of a certain Schans near unto Newheusell, was environed by the Hungarians who slew him and most of his men: his body being thrust through with a lance, was carried into his camp.  
Thereupon they of Newheusell set upon the Emperor's Legher with all their might, and slew about two thousand men.  
And Bethlem Gabor's men being upon the frontiers of Moravia, burned the town of Olmits.  
Moreover, that the Emperor had sent a general pardon into Moravia, whereupon all the prisoners were set a liberty again.  
It is further signified unto us out of Silesia, that the Marcgrave of lagherens dorp is sixteen thousand strong, at the charges of the Clergy, and hath besieged certain towns in Bohemia to keep the country in awe.  
The truce in the Palatinate continueth till the fourth of August, in the mean time the countrymen are very much oppressed by the Spanish garrisons, who will not suffer them to mow their corn without giving them much money, whereby the fruits of the earth are spoiled, and the countrymen run away.  
The Spaniards do fortify themselves exceedingly: many Dutch Lords being joined unto them, which do make great preparation for war; what the issue will be, the time will manifest. The soldiers in the Palatinate are for the most part marched to the Earl of Mansfield, who lieth by Withensell, having a very great army.   

From Eger. july 20.  
On Friday last the body of the Lord Baur which was slain by Mansfield in the fight before mentioned, was brought hither from the Bavarian Legher, and embalmed, and from hence was by a convoy of 30 horsemen sent towards Wietsburgh: but about a mile from hence they were set upon by two cornets of mansfield's horsemen and a hundred musketeers, who brought them unto Waltsaxen with a good booty also. Here are skirmishings almost every day between mansfield's men and the Bauarians who are always put to the worse.   

From Colen. Iul 27.  
The ship of war which lately sailed by, lieth not far from the Schans of Papen-Muts, for what purpose she lieth there, is yet ununknowne.  
Here both parties begin to set upon each other, for not long since two Capisaines with certain horsemen were taken: and the repo●t goes, that the Governors have received commandment to join battle with the enemy, and to slay him or take him captive.  
All things are quiet in these quarters, men know not yet whether there shall be peace or war, but it will be known within few days, and then the corn shall be brought out of the fields with as much speed as may be.  
The Governor Pithen of Gulick hath written to Grave Hendrick vanden Berg to retain his horsemen, to the end that his soldiers of horse and foot might have the freer passage, which if he doth, no man sustaining hurt or damage, he will do the like for Grave Hendricks horsemen.   

We understand from Brussels that the Infanta is not gone into the Cloister, but is detained by Pater Dominico: the Marquis would have that she should remain in government till the 17 Provinces are given to the dowry, whereby they might govern and hold the land in good peace and unity, as they were left by the Arch Duke. Therefore there is a post sent into Spain for to know the King's resolution. Some do think that Don Carlo his Majesty's brother shall be sent to take the government.  
They say that those of Rochel have taken or spoiled 50 French ships; and that the General of the Pope's Galleys hath taken a Turkish Pirates ship, and made 35 Turks slaves.  
It is further signified from Venice that three men were lately taken and executed, which attempted to fire the ships in the harbour.
