FROM

THE

,
1622.
THey
write
from
Millane
that
the
Spanish
soldiers
from
diuers
places
of
that
State
,
were
commanded
to
meet
at
a
certaine
rendeuou's
,
whereupon
many
of
them
were
instantly
charged
to
march
towards
Bormio
,
to
oppose
themselues
against
the
Grisons
,
a
troupe
of
them
being
seene
at
Chiavenna
intending
to
take
a
Spanish
Post
,
but
he
was
succoured
by
a
150
Musketteeres
,
of
the
company
of
Captaine
Iohn
Serbelliona
,
which
skirmishing
with
the
Grisons
aforesaid
,
slue
14
of
them
and
lost
but
fiue
of
their
owne

They
had
newes
that
the
Grisons
hauing
inuaded
the
higher
Aguedina
,
many
of
them
had
besieged
the
Fort
of
Sancta
Maria
,
and
the

making
their
excursions
vpon
the
Frontiers
of
the
Countie
of
Tyroll
,
droue
great
store
of
cattell
from
thence
,
into
their
owne
territories
.
And
that
there
were
daily
held
priuate
consultations
,
touching
the
departure
of
the
Duke
of
Feria
,
(
Gouernour
of
Millane
)
towards
Veltolina
:
as
likewise
that
his
Excellencie
hauing
notice
that
from
the
said
Veltolinat
were
fled
and
yet
daily
did
fly
about
60
soldiers
at
a
time
,
and
that
(
as
they
say
)
both
for
want
of
victuals
and
pay
,
he
had
giuen
notice
by
a
Proclamation
that
both
Spaniards
and
Italians
that
here
before
abandoned
the
seruice
of
the
king
of
Spaine
,
vnder
whatsoeuer
pretext
or
colour
,
should
haue
their
pardon
,
returning
into
the
same

the
space
of
the
next
ensuing
15
daies
after
the
Proclamation
.
And

,
and
euery

both

them
,
not
exempting
them
that
were
fled
themselues
,
and
afterwards
reconciled
.
That
the
Count
di
Monterei
being
there
arriued
,
was
royally
lodged
and
entertained
,
at
the
charges
of
the
said
Gouernor
:
And
going
to
view
the
Castle
,
the
Ordnance
was
at
his
approach
brauely
discharged
:
As
soone
as
he
shall
haue
visited
all
the
principall
places
of
this
city
,
he
intends
to
goe
on
with
his
iourney
for
Spaine
.
That
the
Grisons
went
from
Towne
to
Towne
,
to
confirme
their
new
established
vnion
at
Coyra
.
And
that
vpon
the
confines
of
the
Canton
of
SinZ
,
the
Catholike
Suissers
which
haue
beset
the
passages
to
stop
the
troupes
of
their
Enemies
,
had
incountred
one
another
,
so
that
many
of
both
sides
were
slaine
.
By
particular
Letters
from

we

that
the

of
Iuly
30
companies
of
Grisons
and
Swissers
,
arriued
in
the
territory
of
Chiavenna
,
and
assaulting
suddenly
the
Fort

the

(
about
a

Towne
aforesaid
)
after
they
had
killed
seuen
sentinels
of
the
Spanish
Garison
before
they
were

of
them
,
they
tooke
it
presently

they

The
Bishop
of
Monte
Marana
in
the
kingdome
of
Naples
who
was
come
here
to
be
examined
and
questioned
,
is
lately
deceased
.
Thursday
last
about
the
euening
arriued
here
the
Auditor
of
Monsieur
Donabeto
,
Vice
legat
of
that
State
,
but
we
can
not
learne
the
occasion
which
moued
him
to
the
same
:
And
it
is
related
that
at
his
departure
the
Marquesse
of
Maletefia
(
Generall
of
the
Campe
)
was
very
sicke
.
There
was
of
late
a
dissention
risen
betwixt
the
Vice-roy
of
Naples
,
and
the
Prior
Aldobrandino
,
Generall
of
the
Gallies
of
the
Pope
,
which
hapned
by
a
fray
or
tumult
,
betwixt
the
Spanish
watch
,
and
some
of
his
,
who
seeing
that
one
of
the
Galleys
was
taken
prisoner
;
they
rescued
him
againe
.
Whereupon
the
Counsell
of
state
being
called
,
it
was
presently
ordered
,
that
as
many
as
could
be
gotten
of
them
should
be
clapt
vp
.
And
hapning
afterwards
that
a
Captaine
and
thirty
six
soldiers
,
were
taken
and
put
in
the
prison
within
the
Castle
,
three
Sicilians
had
the
Stroppa
de
Corda
,
and
were
condemned
for
ten
yeeres
vpon
the
Galleys
,
but
were
presently
within
the
space
of
few
daies
dismis'd
with
the
rest
by
a
warrant
of
the
Vice-roy
,
and
went
to
their
Galleys
,
sayling
soone
after
their
relaxation
to
Messina
.
But
there
was
a
Post
dispatch'd
from
hence
,
with
a
commission
to
cause
them
to
returne
instantly
to
Civita
Vecchia
:
Seeing
they
were
informed
here
,
that
this
yeere
the
Turkish
Galleys
of
Biserta
were
not
able
to
set
forth
,
all
their
slaues
and
great
store
of
their
soldiers
being
dead
,
whole
Barbarie
being
likewise
mightily
inuaded
with
the
plague
:
And
seeing
the
Turks
were
not
to
bring
any
Nauy
this
yeere
at
Sea
,
it
should
not
bee
necessary
to
send
any
from
Sicilia
.
Here
is
arriued
the
Persian
Ambassador
comming
lately
from
Spaine
.
The
Copy
of
a
Letter
from
Brussels
,
dated
the
23
of
Aug.
concerning
the
Progresse
and
Resolution
of
Count
Mansfield
,
since
his
being
in
Lorraine
.
With
his
last
Conflict
and
Victory
with
Gonsalo
,
the
19.
of
Aug.
in
Brabant
.
SIr
,
I
know
you
cannot
be
ignorant
of
the
various
reports
spred
abroad
(
throughout
all
these
parts
of
Christendome
)
of
Count
Mansfields
being
for
these
two
monthes
past
:
Some
affirming
that
hee
is
very
weake
;
others
,
that
he
is
very
strong
:
some
,
that
hee
should
be
entertained
by
the
French
King
,
and
that
he
should
be
falne
off
from
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
vpon
a
breach
betwixt
them
;
and
that
there
should
be
a
mutiny
in
their
Army
,
whereupon
they
should
bee
vtterly
dispersed
.
Count
Mansfield
being
passed
through
Loraine
,
(
where
he
payed
for
what
he
tooke
,
and
commanded
his
Souldiers
to
forbeare
doing
any
wrong
,
or
taking
any
thing
from
any
of
the
Duke
of
Loraines
Subiects
;
notwithstanding
,
at
a
place
or
two
his
Souldiers
offered
some
violence
.
)
ariuing
in
Champaigne
,
made
his
Randeuow
vpon
the
Frontier
thereof
,
almost
for
this
two
monthes
.
In
the
meane
time
the
French
King
made
great
preparation
,
as
fearing
lest
he
should
inuade
his
Countrey
:
but
vpon
triall
he
found
him
to
come
not
as
an
enemy
,
but
as
one
who
intended
to
doe
him
seruice
,
and
did
thereupon
giue
command
to
Duke
Deniuers
to
treate
with
the
said
C.
Mansfield
vpon
certaine
Articles
or
propositions
,
namely
,
on
the
Kings
behalfe
:
Deniuers
propounded
vnto
him
both
honors
and
profits
,
as
that
he
would
make
him
a
Marshall
of
France
,
and
a
Generall
of
certain
forces
which
he
would
send
for
the
recouery
of
the
Valtoline
;
that
he
would
giue
him
200000.
Crownes
in
hand
,
and
20000.
Crownes
per
annum
.
Mansfield
on
the
other
side
was
to
bring
to
the
Kings
seruice
of
his
Army
6000.
foot
,
and
2000.
Horse
,
which
should
presently
receiue
pay
of
his
Maiesty
.
But
Mansfield
hauing
a
farther
reach
(
as
by
the
sequell
appeares
)
intends
nothing
else
by
the
said
treaty
,
but
to
get
himselfe
more
aduantage
,
and
to
preuent
suspition
in
the
matters
which
he
directly
intended
,
namely
,
for
the
ioyning
with
the
Hollanders
:
For
being
at
a
towne
called
Mosoon
,
on
the
Frontiers
of
France
,
hee
gaue
out
of
purpose
that
Brunswicke
and
he
were
fallen
out
,
and
that
he
was
fallen
from
the
said
Duke
of
Brunswicke
:
and
had
secured
himselfe
in
the
strong
Towne
of
Mosoon
,
and
would
ioyne
with
the
French
King
;
by
which
policy
,
the
way
to
Brabant
was
the
more
secure
,
and
his
enemy
Gonsalo
made
the
lesse
haste
after
him
:
For
this
treaty
of
his
with
the
French
King
,
did
so
amaze
his
enemies
that
they
knew
no
other
but
that
hee
would
haue
concluded
with
him
,
on
the
contrary
you
shall
vnderstand
,
about
the
16
day
of
this
month
,
in
the
night
(
hauing
before
selected
out
6000.
of
his
best
horse
,
whereof
2.
thousand
are
Carabins
or
light
horse
,
and
3000.
speciall
footmen
:
which
said
foote
he
likewise
prouided
horse
for
the
most
part
of
them
)
marched
away
from
Mosoon
vnexpected
,
towards
Mouns
in
Henalt
,
where
he
ariued
the
18
of
this
month
near
the
Riuer
of
the
Mozel
with
the
D.
of
Brunswick
,
leauing
behind
8000.
foot
,
and
1000.
horse
,
with
all
his
Canon
,
and
the
most
part
of
their
baggage
to
the
command
of
the
Duke
of
Bulloin
,
and
those
of
the
religion
.
On
the
way
before
they
came
to
Mouns
,
they
burnt
and
pillaged
diuers
villages
,
and
sacked
two
rich
Monasteries
in
the
Archdutches
dominions
.
From
Brussels
.
IT
is
likewise
aduertised
by
other
Letters
on
Saturday
last
,
that
they
were
come
to
a
Castle
called
Montemaria
on
the
borders
of
Brabant
,
and
that
comming
through
Henalt
the
people
of
the
Country
made
all
the
powers
they
could
on
the
suddaine
to
resist
them
;
those
which
resisted
him
were
by
the
Mansfieldians
put
to
the
sword
,
a
great
number
of
them
,
and
the
rest
forced
to
flie
for
their
liues
.

,
most
being
Spaniards
and
Italians
doe
follow
them
,
but
are
not
within
two
daies
iourney
of
them
:
Besides
,
they
cannot
march
halfe
so
farre
in
a
day
as
Mansfield
doth
with
his
horse
,
being
quit
of
his
Canon
and
Baggage
.
Gonsalo
had
thought
to
haue
way-laid
his
passage
through
Henalt
,
by
ioyning
his
ten
thousand
old
Souldiers
which
those
of
the
Country
,
had
not
Mansfield
dealt
the
more
politiquely
in
the
businesse
;
as
by
this
following
Letter
may
appeare
.
The
Letter
.
DEare
and
much

horse
,
and
3000.
Musquiters
on
horsebacke
,
for
the
speedy
dispatching
of
his
businesse
.
The
manner
of
his
fight
is
thus
;
The
tenth
man
of
the
Musquiteers
,
holding
the
horse
of
the
rest
,
the
rest
set
themselues
in
battaile
:
the
6000
horsemen
first
giues
the
assault
,
and
the
footmen
powder
vpon
them
with
their
Musquiteers
,
whilst
the
horsemen
wheele
about
and
come
in
againe
:
and
then
if
there
be
need
,
the
Musquiteers
returne
againe
for
their
succour
:
if
otherwise
the
busines
bee
dispatched
,
they
all
on
horse
backe
get
them
gone
with
the
prey
that
they
deuoure
and
spoyle
,
no
army
of
foot
being
able
to
doe
any
thing
against
them
:
and
Spinola
with
all
his
horse
being
not
able
to
make
such
an
army
.
Brunswicke
comes
slowly
forward
with
a
great
army
;
Mansfield
hauing
made
way
in
remouing
the
Obstacles
for
his
safe
passage
:
they
are
within
6.
Leagues
of
Brussels
.
Hee
that
reported
this
,
sayth
he
saw
Mansfield
with
his
own
eyes
,
being
a
Gentleman
that
came
from
the

shewed
and
executed
vpon
the
sonnes
of
men
,
is
a
labour
beyond
my
purpose
at
this
time
to
vndertake
,
and
therefore
I
will
onely
relate
vnto
you
a
story
of
a
late
wonderfull
and
lamentable
accident
,
which
happened
in
Deuonshire
,
and
there
in
chiefly
of
a
shipwracke
in
Catwater
rode
by
Plimouth
,
on
Sunday
night
and
Munday
morning
the
18.
and
19.
of
August
last
.
There
being
floting
in
the
Rode
of
Catwater
diuers
ships
,
some
newly
ariued
,
others
bound
out
for
seuerall
places
;
among
the
rest
,
two
Merchants
ships
hired
by
Mounseur
Sabesa
to
transport
certaine
men
for
Rochell
,
both
which
ships
being
preparing
,
and
partly
prouided
of
their
men
,
the
one
was
cast
away
with
other
ships
and
barkes
riding
in
the
said
Rode
aforesaid
:
The
other
onely
buldge
.
But
before
this
storme
arose
,
I
will
not
omit
to
set
downe
a
strange
accident
which
happened
in
one
of
the
ships
,
there
being
in
her
both
Mariners
and
Souldiers
.
About
some
three
dayes
before
the
storme
,
one
man
in
her
seeming
to
be
franticke
or
sicke
of
some
violent
disease
,
required
leaue
to
goe
a
shore
,
for
his
time
was
come
and
hee
must
away
.
The
Captaine
notwithstanding
would
not
suffer
him
;
insomuch
that
the
fellow
said
,
If
they
would
not
let
him
goe
it
would
bee
the
worse
for
them
all
;
for
,
said
he
,
doe
you
not
see
two
deuils
yonder
,
and
pointed
with
his
finger
;
nay
,
said
he
,
there
will
come
three
more
anon
.
They
notwithstanding
caused
him
to
be
bound
and
put
in
the
strongest
hold
of
the
ship
,
vnder
hatches
,
the
hatches
being
close
kept
downe
:
but
about
the
euening
when
they
were
at
prayers
,
hee
came
vp
and
walked
on
the
hatches
a
while
,
whereat
they
were
much
amazed
,
till
on
a
suddaine
he
leaped
ouer
board
,
and
after
him
seemed
to
leape
a
thing
like
a
great
mastiffe
dog
;
whereupon
did
arise
such
a
tempestuous
storme
of
wind
,
thunder
,
and
lightning
,
that
the
ship
wherein
this
miserable
wretch
was
,
left
her
anckers
,
and
was
split
on
the
Rockes
,
and
all
her
men
except
about
8.
were
cast
away
;
some
of
them
being
cast
vp
vpon
the
rockes
,
and
a
proper
Gentleman
amongst
the
rest
,
was
for
certaine
dayes
standing
vpright
betwixt
two
rockes
,
as
though
he
were
aliue
,
and
impossible
to
be
got
out
vnlesse
the
rockes
bee
beaten
away
.
In
the
said
rode
were
likewise
cast
away
seuen
other
Ships
&
Barks
,
one
wherof
was
driuen
with
the
violence
of
the
storme
,
vpon
the
top
of
a
hie
rock
,
not
much
impaired
,
so
strangely
that
it
is
thought
a
thing
impossible
it
should
come
there
,
and
is
as
impossible
to
be
gotten
off
againe
without
spoyling
,
beeing
driuen
so
farre
from
the
water
:
In
this
storme
is
reported
to
bee
lost
out
of
these
8.
ships
300.
men
,
besides
the
Ships
and
goods
.
At
the
same
time
in
diuers
other
places
besides
,
were
many
ships
cast
away
,
so
that
it
is
thought
the
losse
by
shipwracke
in
the
west
parts
of
England
is
40.
or
50000.
pounds
.
Now
concerning
the
hurt
done
by
land
,
by
thunder
and
lightning
the
same
time
through
Deuonshire
and
Summersetshire
;
in
many
places
whole
fields
of
Corne
blasted
,
stackes
of
Corne
blasted
and
scorched
,
nay
the
violence
of
the
winde
and
thunder
was
such
,
that
is
scatttered
and
dispersed
the
Corne
as
if
it
had
beene
sowne
againe
,
and
as
if
God
would
not
suffer
vs
to
reape
the
fruits
of
the
earth
,
but
would
scatter
it
againe
,
nay
out
of
the
eares
,
as
if
the
flayle
had
beene
vpon
it
.
Let
vs
compare
the
mildew
and
blasting
sent
vpon
our
fields
in
generall
,
in
the
prime
of
our
hope
,
before
our
haruest
,
and
now
in
haruest
(
vpon
that
litle
remainder
)
with
this
sudden
judgement
of
winde
and
lightning
,
and
consider
whether
we
haue
not
cause
to
repent
and
to
feare
lest
God
may
punish
vs
in
greater
measure
hereafter
.
