The earl of Mansfields souldiers do great hurt by robbing, rantsacking and burning of houses, and for that the town of Weyden that should haue given 4000. Florins refuse it, the earl of Mansfield will lay his camp between Weyden and the new town on the Walduab, what the Duke of Newburg or Sultzbach will say to that, we shal hereafter know, and for that the Lords of Weymar haue joined their forces with his, the earl of Mansfield is about 15. thousand horse and foot men strong, and still more Souldiers come to him, it is thought he will break up his camp at Thaus, and go further into Bohemia, and leave 2. Regiments of souldiers in the Palatinate, and if Pilsen Eelenbogen and eager were with him he would go towards prague: this day there hath been iustice done among all the Colone●s, Captaines of horsemen, and Captaines touching colonel Franckenstand, or Malefitz who was cited to appear, and if he did not, to be prescribed Doctor Leiminger, did much complain of him, saying that he was the cause that Pilsen gave over: The Bauiarn souldiers spoil all about Elenboghen and Romigsweeret, and many run away: They want provant, and many of them die and so do Mansfields men, Thabor, Klingenburgh, and Wittengaw hold strong still, if they had good Garrisons.

The King, that is still incited and moved by the Priests& Iesuites, to hold war, and contribute to the same, takes up 10. or 12000. men more, whereupon not onely they of the religion but also some peaceable Papists juggle strangely of such and the like counsellors. Yesterday a Polish Ambassador( that had been in France, and Brabon and there long frequented with the Spaniards) came hither and was according to the maner stately received, on Saturday he had audience given him in the general states counsel his excellency being present, who as I understand, spake to them to this effect, that for as much as the turk prepared great forces to invade Poland and other Christian Countries, that they would grant some aid, to direct him from thence, and do their best therein, as a so that they would grant to a long time with the Spaniards, that so the house of Austria might employ all their forces against the turk, what answer he had, is not yet known.

The Zelanders haue brought in 3. ships more besides 5. others, Spanish ships laden with oil, sugar, and other wears, and not long since there is a great zealand ship come thether called Wallacher, out of the East Indes richly laden, and 2. others are coming to Amstelredam.
