From Rome the 6. of September. 1621.  
FRom Ferrara, we are certified that not long since, the River of Adie, over flowed the banks, and not only there, but in the land of Verona, drowned 18. Villages, for which cause Cardinal Serra. Legate resident in Ferrara, hath taken good order, and specially hath stayed a Ship with Torn, in the Haven of Gero, to supply the said Province therewith.  
From Naples they writ, that upon the 21. of August, Philibert Prince of Savoy arrived there with 22. Galleys, and was honourably received therein by the Viceroy, and Gentlemen of the Town, and lodged in the Castle, that marquis Centrerione, a Genovesian, was also come thither with 2. Galleys, to meet the Prince: where being in the Castle of Ouo, he had a quarrel with 2. Spanish soldiers, to whem he gave two blows on the ear, for the which he was committed to Prison, and by the Prince presently condemned to dye, but by the Viceroy and the Marquis De S. Croce his life was begged, but yet condemned to be eight years Prisoner, to pay 10. thousand Crowns for a fine, and his 2. Galleys to serve 2. years in the Spanish Army, at his own cost and charges.  
From Messina, we hears that between the sauldiers in the Tuscan and Neopolitan Galleys there rose a great controversy, whereby they fought together, and many stain on both sides, but at last by the General, Presennet they were appeased.   

From Venice the 13. of September. 1621.  
FRom Constantinople it is written, that there is both a great plague and dearth in that City, that in the black Sea, the Turks Galleys had taken 6. Ships with Cossockers, and made them all slaves, among them one was a Turk, that hath revealed many secrets touching the Polish Army. That the great Turk hath paid his Soldiers 3. millions of Gold: That the Vaywodo of Walachia is with the Turk, and that Radul Vaywode of Moldavia, is strangled by the Turks commandment, being charged to have had intelligence with the King of Polonia.  
At Genua there is a Ship arrived, with 52 Chests of silver, & there are 3. more daily expected to come thither.  
From Milan, it is certified that there is 54. thousand crowns, sent from thence to Valtolina, to pay the soldiers, and for that the Grisons since their last enterprise out of Cleve, have attempted nothing else. The rest of the Marshal Amunitian is stayed. From Spain it is certified by Augustino Centrerione, and Francis Serra, there is 300. thousand crowns, assigned to be paid for the Netherlands.   

From Chur in Switzerland, the 16 of September. 1621.  
monsieur Montallon, the French Ambassador, perceiving that the confederated quarters would no longer be delayed of, but would with 10. thousand men march unto Valtolina to aid their confederates, he protested against them, and told them that if they would take that enterprise in hand without the consent of his king, it would be cause of great hurt and trouble unto them, but notwithstanding, seeing that the French king did not help them, nor yet would suffer them to be help, the country people were so much incensed, that they said, that seeing the French King persecuted those of the Religion in his own Country, he was no better to be trusted then the Spaniards, end that the Spanish enmyty was much more benefit unto them then the French; and therefore there was 1000 men sent out of Boetgow, and 1000 men out of the Bunter, which went part into Munster, and some into Valtolina Valley, and they intent by all the means they can use to bring these countries again under their obedience, and there is a principal Covent Lord come thither from Valtolina, who saith, that this war is not religious, but a country war, and that the Spaniards, under the pretence of making peace, by the French aid would bring the confederate towns & parts under his yoke: As also that the oppressions done by the Spaniards, unto those of Valtolina are so great, as they are insupportable, and therefore that he came away, and that the Confederays had need to look well unto themselves, as having Committees for them, that mean them little good. They intent daily to set upon the enemy, therefore Leopaldus forces that are not paid, are discontented, and for that in Milan, there is 2. millions of gold come, there must be something done, but yet the confederated frontiers are well fortified with Garrisons, where the first exploit must be done: for the country people are all fully agreed, with body, lives and goods, to join together, and have sworn no longer to refrain from arms, and that if their neighbours will not willingly let them have provant and other things, they will have it by force.   

From Vienna the 15. of September. 1621.  
EIght days past the Hungarians thought suddenly to have fall'n upon our force in Schut, but were prevented, and were made to retire with loss of 500 of their men, and many taken; and on the other side, the Hungarians have taken diverse of our Wagons, that went out for Forage, and for that all our forces now lie by Presburge, and in Shut. The Budianer Hungarians and Turks come again upon us, and run in every place, and once again have burnt 20. Villages, and still go forward, having carried away 2000 people, great and small, prisoners with them, besides great store of Cattle, and other things without any hindrance. What pity is it in this City, wherein there are so many horse & footmen reaready armed, & send no men out to rescue them, whereby many poor might be relieved, in respect that the Hungarians are but mean people, and not well armed, and yet are not resisted, it is strangely discoursed on here: the hurt they have done will not be repaired with the value of 100 thousand Florins, therefore the common people are desperate, and neither spare friend nor foe, so also 2. days since Bethlem Gabor's Hungarians have made a road into Maravia, and spoilt all the Country, therefore Colonel Walstein with his forces hath left the Marked, and is forced to go to Niclaesburge: to conclude, they have shut up the passages.  
In the mean time there is a treaty of peace in Hand-holden, at Ravensburge, in the Marked and Committees, to that end on both fides come thither. The English Ambassador hath his dispatch of the Emperor, and hath had a great reward, but is referred to be at the Electoral meeting. The Duke of Saxen in the Emperor's name is to be precedent for him at that meeting, and the Arch Duke Charles rides thither: the Arch Duke Leopoldus is daily expected here. The Budianers lie 20. thousand strong by New sidler Sea, his greatest forces are Turks, he hath a strange countenance, all Coure and other places are burned, and cannot be built up again.   

From Breslaw, the 9 of September. 1621.  
THe Silecian forces are now all gone towards the Frontiers of Moravia, and for that the Saxon forces have begun to besiege Glats, yesterday, and the day before all the Wagoners and Carmen are stayed, to carry Ordnance and Munition out of this town thither, by this means the marquis with his Hungarian & Turkish aid will be drawn hither.   

From Bergstrate, the 21. of September. 1621.  
Drums are daily sounded to take up a regiment of Soldiers, to serve under the Colonels Latschaden and Mosburke. They shall muster at Laudenburge, or Neckethausten, and Soldiers are come the there already.  
Yesterday an English Ambassador came hither from Creutsnach, through the Bergstrate, to go to Vianna, and went through the Spanish army, with 2. cornets of Horsemen, over the Ship bridge at Stein, to the Palsgrave's army.  
Don Cordova, intends to hold his Winter leaguer between Stein and Hedleberg, in the Bergstrate. The Earl of Doverlach hath sent some Soldiers into the Palatine league, and although there was an intent that there should be some forces laid about Strasburge, whereby the Palatine could not come upward: at a meeting holden at Hagenaw it was agreed, that every place should defend their passages as well as they could.   

From Amberg the 22. of September. 1621.  
We understand the Earl of Mansfield is broken up with all his forces, and gone into Bavaria, to set upon the Bavarian army that lies before Cam, and hath left 4. companies of the country people in the Scouts, as also monsieur Rilly, and many more.  
Advice comes now, that the Duke of Bavaria hath ginen two assaults to Cam, with the loss of 400. of his men. The Garrison in the Town hold out bravely, but it is said, that the Duke (with loss of many men on both sides) should have taken it. The Landgrave is brought Prisoner hither, and this day is carried to Hoburgh.   

From Ambergh the 16. of September. 1621.  
News coming hither, that by a Bavarian Post, that certain thousand Bauarian Soldiers were come to the Langdrave of Leichtenburg, to lie in prefermen, Wareberg and Schindthutten, to shut the passage that way from Mansfield. The said Earl of Mansfield entered up on Warebergh and Schindthutten, and hath ransacked them, and for that, the Bavarian Soldiers got through Scavandorf to Prefennet, the Earl of Mansfield upon Sunday, sent Colonel Linstaw with 4000 foot and horsemen, and some great Pieces to Prefennet, & for that they would not issue out to fight, yesterday with his great Ordnance & Fireworks, he overcame them. The Landgrave himself being taken, was kept Prisoner in his Castle: and for that is certified for truth, that the Duke of Bavaria hath broken up his Camp before Stranbingen, and with all his forces is gone back to Cain, and hath taken Artischwang, 2. miles scom thence, but the Earl of Mansfield hath not only sent 4. companies of footmen to Cam, but determineth also to break up his Camp and go thither, in the mean time leaving the Sconces strongly Garrisoned, and daily he expects great store of horse and footmen to come to him, under the command of the young Duke of Brumswicke, and a Duke of Saxon. monsieur Tilly also will break up. It stands but hardly here with the upper Palatinate, ● for that the Subjects thereof, by reasons they are daily so much piled and bold, and were much oppressed by the Earl of mansfield's Soldiers, specially his Horsemen, they are much discontented, and are of opinion that they shall been better protected and defended, or at least receive less damage than they do.   

From Amsterdam the 16. of September. 1621.

The horse and footmen lie yet about the Villages between Rees and Emmerich, it is said that by reason of the continual Rain that hath fallen, the Country all over is full of Water, whereby the Wagons cannot, and it is feared that Spinola will take and fortify Goth, Calcar, and Cleve, and other places, in the mean time, the Country on both sides of the Rhine is spoilt.
