The extraordinary Venetians Ambassador hath had Audience by the King of France/ and seeing his Commission doth concern the Businesses in Veltan/ and that the Crown of France depends much upon the same/ therefore it is thought that the said ambassador shall have A speedy Answer. Because the Speech goeth that the King will Admit those of the Religion at Rochel and else where in his dominions no assembl●s/ therefore those Cities of the Religion strengthen themselves daily/ in the mean while they have sent their Deputies to his Maj. at Court. From Venice, the 11. hereof. The last Monday arrived here 11 Ships laded with will and other Merchandises/ from Alicanten. The King of Spain hath desired of all the Princes of Italy/ that they should have in A readiness those Soldiers which they are indebted/ to assu● him with and against the soaring should come to gither 7000 horse and footmen under the command of the Millane.

From Weenen, the 12 hereof. Bethlem Gabor Requires 500 Musquettiers for his guard/ and many Hungarians gather togother and do intent to go in to Moravia to help them/ the General Breyner lieth at Bruck/ And there are 300 Soldiers frozen dead again in the snow/ and likewise so many slain/ beside those that are taken Prisoners and sent to Presburgh. It is confirmed out of Poland/ that the same Camp is wholly overthrown of the Turks/ and the Tarters do great harms through burning and roving. Therefore A Meeting day at Marschow is kept. In like manner Bethlem Gabor doth threaten these Lands/ if they make not peace. The Lord of Seratin/ is as a Moravish Ambassador arrived here upon certain condition it is hoped that he comes to make peace/ the Earl of Buequoy lieth at the frontiers of Moravia/ what he will bring to pass/ time will reveal.

From prague, the 14 hereof. The Mintmaster is some few days since fetched out of the quoining house by the Gouverneur of the City and with soldiers/ and carried in to the Counsel House/ there to be kept in hold. Seeing the Emperor's Strangs Soldiers have done great hurt here this 5. weeks with roving and spoiling therefore the Duke of Lichtensteen ha●h caused proclamations to be set A broad/ and for bidden the foresaid roving upon great punishment/ also published that those that will come together to buy and sell/ and Traffic may travail in safety. And hath published citations/ that all the Bohemish States that are gone away must upon forfeit of their honour and goods appear upon the appointed time.

This City is strongly fortified/ and is daily made stronger/ and higher stand 13 very fair pieces of ordnance/ and here is as yet no want of provision/ in the mean while these Soldiers run daily out/ bring in great store of cattle/ so that a Cow is sold for half a floryne/ and an Sheep for 12 Krijtsers. The Earl of Mantsvelt should go to Savoy/ and doth cause his Baggage to be sent to Amberghe already/ and seeing that certain encouradgements are come from Amberge hither/ that the Earl Sigmont of Brandenburg is expected daily to come hither/ with 500 thousand Florijns for the Earl of Mantsvelt and for payment of the Soldiers. Who begin to be encouradged thereby: after the arrivement of the foresaid/ the Earl of Mantsvelt shall go forward on his journey and the said Earl of Brandenburg besides the Earl of Leeuwensteen shall be made General. And seeing our King hath 36000 men together in Moravia/ and that Betlem Gabor shall come to him with 40000 men/ and that the Moravians and Sylesians have gathered A great some of money/ so shall not this City be given over/ and if so be the united do hold them by our King● then there is good hope/ that there cause shall have a good end.

We understand from prague that the Sickness and dearth increaseth there very much which causeth the Citizens and inhabitants to fly away daily more and more/ and forsaeke house and land/ and give much money for A free paspot.
