The 3. common confederate cantons are assembled together at Chur, with whom also the Treasurer of France hath been, and there seek to confirm their confederacy, notwithstanding that the French Treasurer earnestly desired them first to hear the Spanish Articles, but notwithstanding they proceeded therein, and concluded that all those that desired to aid and defend their natine country and to maintain their privileges, they should foin with them, and thereupon 12. comunalities are joined with them, and it was presently concluded, that forthwith, and with all their power and forces they should join together to invade the enemy, as they already have begun, to fortify themselves, and daily more forces join with them.

We have a great number of men here, but while the General, the Earl of Mansfied is here, 〈◊〉 are secure enough, but God knows what will be done when he goes hence.  
Here in this Country all is spolyed, for mansfield's army with his ordinance is come hither, where they due much hurt, and for that all the people of 40. villages, with their wives and children, are fled and gone away, the Soldiers thresh the corn and spoil all. It is said that the Duke of Bavaria with his army comes hitherward, in the mean time the treaty continues, and for that the Earl of Mansfield hath his Deputies with the Duke of bavaria's Deputies at Cam, there are some Deputies there for the Church Ministers of the Palatinate, but because the treaty seems not to proceed, we know not whither the Earl of Mansfield will go with his army.  
The Soldiers that lay in Cam, complain that promise being made unto them, that they should go freely away with bag and baggage, as they went forth the Barvarian Carrabines fell upon them, and took all that they had from them, and slew the Skammersdorp Musquetiers, that withstood them.

We hear from Paris, that a great tumult hath happened therein, for that diverse favourites of the Duke de Mayens that was killed before Montaubon being much grieved for the death of that great man, with a great number of Sudents and other common people, went to Charenton, to be revenged for the same upon those of the religion, and there met together as they were coming bark, and that if it had not been for the Duke of Monbason governor of Paris, and other Officers of justice that hindered them, there would have been a great murder done, but they forcibly kept them back, yet there was about 8. persons slain on both sides, and 8. taken prisoners: and yet when they were parted, the people ran to Charenton, and there burned the Church and the Library. On Monday after there happened another quarrel between a Combmaker and his son, whereby some men were slain, whereupon the Magistrates fearing that if such things fell out, there would be a general uproar in the town, commanding the Burghers to look well unto their several wards, which being done, the trouble ceased. On Tuesday there were two hanged, that were some of the beginners thereof, and thereupon a Proclamation was made, that no man should molest those of the religion, as you may read in the said Proclamation.  
From Coninxburgh we understand, that the good news touching the King of Poland, falls out contrary, and we are certified, that there are certain thousand Polanders slain, that the Prince of Poland is enclosed by the Turks, as also that the King himself with a great power was gone to relieve him. The King is gone from Warson to Marlenburgh. It is also reported that the Tartarians are already about Lublin.

That from thence he went to Cockenhausen with his army, and had commanded the Russians to carry all their Merchandises to Riga, as they did before, upon pain of further incursion.  
From the Prince of Orange's camp, it is written, that there is no great matter done on either side as yet, but that our men have taken some of the enemis horses, which by sound of Drum were with their bridles and saddles sold good cheap, and that the Prince of Orange with diverse Lords, was gone down the Rhine to Emerick, and there right over against the town upon the Véer, by certain engineers hath caused a sconce or fort to be begun, greater than that which is made over against Rées, which already is very forward.  
There are some Lords of Colen come hither into our army, unto the Prince, what their intent is we know not, it is thought they would have their Nowtraletie continued, and also about some actions touching Papenmutz, which troubles them somewhat.
