From venize the 1 of januarij, 1621. From Milan news is come/ that 700 thousand Crowns should be paid to the Governor of Grnua/ and his Majesty likewise should handle with the said Genevese/ that they should furnish the said Governor with 3 millions of gold. This Governor hath commaundemenes strongly to arm. His Majesty hath eke retained the third part of the Merchants of the West-Iudische Fleet/ but offered for that unto them the custom of the Selt/ which in that Country importeth 260 thousand Crowns. At Paris is Mansieur Priuli/ Ambassador of the Denetians/ very stately brought to the audience to whom concerning Deltlm all required help is promised. From Vienna, the 27 of December, 1620. The Lord Charles van Sherin remaineth yet here/ that hath denounced unto his Majesty in the name of the Moravish States/ that first they should have a safe conduct. Secondly/ a general pardon and remission. Thirdly/ that into their Country there should not be brought men of war. For this they offer and have presented to receive his Majesty/ whereupon this resolution is taken: that notwithstanding they first where not worthy/ nevertheless it should be granted unto them/ if they should show themselves obedient/ those that have been cause/ his Majesty will not pardon/ but shall be punished to an exampel of others. The men of war should be brought into the Country/ but none should suffer damage/ but those that should withstand. Whereupon some of the States and Communs have declared themselves/ but others would not trust to it/ and are departed till a sure pardon be given/ and therefore the whole armey is lying in Moravia/ to consirayne the rebels to obedience/ and march to Brin/ but some say that 15 thousand men of war expect them there. Likewise at Spalits'/ Olmits and other places are some thousands/ that are resolved to withstand the Emperor looking yet for many 1000 to do a great expedition. From vienna the 28 of December, 1620. They say yet that Moravia should be delivered to the Majesty/ but with certain conditions but his Majesty will not accept them/ but with condition of grace and disgrace/ whereupon they have sent hither Ambassadors to further proceed/ but they are taken by the way of the Hungarians and some of them are slain/ notwithstanding they shown Patent Letters of the Emperor/ whereupon answer is given unto them/ that they where arrant knaves/ they have therefore written hither/ that they can not come/ and they mean that the Morabians with this handling seek but to win time/ and that Betlem hath assisted them with 5000 men. The Earl of Bucquoy is yet at Iglou/ and the Armey of the Emperor at the siege of a strong Castle not far from Brin. His Majesty hath revoked again the required Capital censure. This Land-daye here goeth yet forward/ and his Majesty hath sent a strong Decretum to the Earl john Sigismond of Altensheym/ that within the end of this month of December he should set of all the Lutherian Officers/ and substitute Catholic in stead of them. The like should be done in the Salt-ministery/ and the Book-keemping. After the Holy days the French Ambassador is minded to take his journey to Bethlem Gabor/ to make with the same an agreement/ but his Majesty should have answered/ that he would neither consent to it/ nor keep it backward/ but he might do his pleasure/ his Majesty had means to compel the Hungarians to obedience. From vienna the 30 hereof. The enterprise we had again upon Presburg is unluckily proceeded/ and with the loss of some hundred of ours fallen out/ for the intelligence we had with the Captain was discovered be/ fore our coming/ and the Captain is put in prison. From Lints in Austria, the 30 hereof. Hear is advised/ that the departed King of Bohemia should march again to Bohemia and Saxony/ with a great number of Hungarians and other Nations/ with some Turks and Tartarians. The Moravians march strongly against the Emperor's Folks/ and notwithstanding that the same have taken Zuaim/ they hope to recover it/ because the King with the Hungarians are making them strong. The news continueth/ that the Emperor's Folk by Tuglau are slain of the Moravians. The Duke of Bavaria hath sent already here a Politicq Ordinance/ which perhaps in this countries' shall speedly be published/ and the matter is in such state that the Country of the Ens for many years shall be conscribed/ which shall cause a great altration/ and as they say the States and Communes desire of the Emperor to receive the Inauguration/ and resolution should be followed/ that the said four States should consent the petition/ that the Duke of Bavaria had requested in ready money. And that the Auguration than could be furthered/ and because that same amounts to a great somme of money/ concerning the pretention of the Duke/ and that it is impossible that the States should furnish so much/ therefore against our will we shall be constrained to remain Bavarish/ which is not liked of many Lords. From prague, the 29 hereof. Some few days past the Folk of the Emperor have been at Tabor/ purposing to take it in with an assault/ but are driven of with the loss of 500 men. And therefore hath Monsieur Tilly written for more assistannce of men. The Smarackes' or commun people here specially in the new City/ have been some few days passed very seditious/ because the Garrison did not cease of saccaging/ and they have slain above 100 and did begin themselves to saccadge/ so that the Generals and others had enough to do to pacify them. From Presburgh the 28. hereof. Upon this Land-daye is concluded/ in the presence of the Ambassadors of Denmark/ Sweden and Hungaria/ and the confederated Princes/ to keep in the fields for the King 16000 men/ and to constitute a new general/ and to live and dye in this Confederation/ whereupon the King should be in his journey to Brin with 16000 men/ and the Earl of Thurne should behave him very well in Morabia/ and not be arrested as the speech went. From Heydelbergh, the 5 of januarij, 1621. The Earl of Thurne was returned with new aid from Hungaria into Moravia with declaration and resolution that Bethlem Gabor King of Hungaria/ notwithstanding the great loss/ would assist his Majesty of Bohemia with all his power/ and never forsake the Confederation. Yea the Hungarians say openly/ that before they should submit themselves to the House of Austria/ they would rather take help of the Turk. The Emperor should have manifestly declared/ that he hath given commission to the Marquis Spinola/ to make himself Master of the whole Palts. Both by the Emperor and United Princes is great need of money/ Spinola having occupied and taken the principal Customs/ requiring upon penalty of burning so great charges of money/ that the meorporated Lands are not able to bring them up. The Colonel Grace is finally with his men arrived in the Over Palts/ where he shall remain unto nearer commandment. From Coppenhaghen is written/ that there was arrived the Son of Duke Hans from Sonderberch/ Kinsman or Cousin German of his Majesty of Dennemarke/ as Ambassador of his Majesty of Bohemia/ is lodged upon the Castle/ and should further take his journey to his Maieestie of Dennemarke at Frederichbergh/ his commission and petition is unknown. The Nuptial Feast of his Majesty of Sweden/ and the Koronation of the Queen is ended with good success/ it seems that his Majesty of Sweden is resolved to ondertake some thing against the Pool/ and hath already at Stockholme 15000 Footmen in readiness. Letters from Paris declare/ that the Marischal Cadinet with a great suit is departed to his Majesty of great Britain. The Religious matters in France are yet of a strange show/ they hope nevertheless that his Majesty will direct all to the best/ giving contentment to them of the Religion. The Lord of Bossampiere doth not departed to Spain from the King's part/ to restitution of the Deltolines/ before the Helvetians Cantons amongst them/ and they with the Grisons shall be agreed and united.
