In

done
much
hurt
in

looke
to
the

strengthening
of

And
the
Cardinall
Capponi
hauing
an
intention
to
leade
the
sayd
riuer
in●o
the
water
called
Panara
,
the

are
vp
in
Armes
,
to
stay
the
passage
of
any
Warlike
Bands
,

to
the
ayde
of
the
Duke
of
Mantua
,
who
feareth

Sister
,

Marcus
Antonius

,
the
late
Archbishop
of
Spalato
,
hauing
lyen
at
Antwerpe
some
whiles
,
passed
from
thence
homewards
:
and
about
the
20
of
October
was
safely
gotten
to
Millan
in
Italy
,
whence
hee
goes
directly
towards
Rome
.
From
Constantinople
,
Octob.
3.
The
Letters
from
thence
report
these
particulars
following
.
First
,
That
there
was
arriued
there
an
Embassadour
out
of
Poland
,
who
came
with
a
stately
trayne
of
an
hundred
followers
.
His
Errand
was
,
for
confirmation
of
the
League
,
and
continuation
of
the
Peace
,
in
the
Reigne
of
this
present
Sultan
Mustapha
;
which
was
after
the
end
of
the
late
Warres
,
made
betweene
his
King
,
and
the
former
Sultan
Osman
.
Secondly
,
That
the
purpose
of
making
Warres
against
the
King
of
Persia
holds
still
:
but
that
the
preparations
haue
beene
much
hindered
,
and
there
haue
fallen
out
many
difficulties
,
which
crosse
the
Turkish
intentions
:
The
chiefe
of
which
was
,
That
hee
hauing
committed
most
of
the
preparations
vnto
the
Bashaw
of
Babylon
,
because
his
Gouernment
lyes
next
vnto
Persia
;
the
Natiues
and
Subiects
of
Babylon
had
before
made
their
Bashaw
to
disobey
the
Great
Turkes
Commaunds
in
that
point
:
And
when
hee
since
seemed
willing
to
obey
his
Lord
and
Master
,
the
Babylonians
haue
taken
and
burnt
their
Bashaw
and
Mufti
(
the
Mufti
being
their
chiefe
Priest
or
Pope
of
the
Mahometan
Religion
)
and
haue
since
chosen
to
themselues
new
Gouernours
;
whom
,
if
the
Grand
Seignior
shall
offer
to
disturbe
,
or
displace
,
they
resolue
to
defend
themselues
against
him
,
and
to
put
themselues
,
for
the
more
securitie
,
vnder
the
protection
of
the
Sophi
,
or
King
of
Persia
;
who
,
for
some
differences
in
Religion
,
is
still
,
and
now
especially
,
the
mortallest
and
powerfullest
Enemy
that
the
Great
Turke
hath
.
This
is
also
confirmed
by
other
Letters
,
which
came
by
the
way
of
Venice
:
which
affirme
also
,
That
the
Rebellion
in
Babylon
is
most
certaine
;
and
that
the
Bashaw
there
(
I
take
it
,
they
meane
the
new
Bashaw
of
the
Peoples
chusing
)
holds
great
correspondencie
with
the
King
of
Persia
.
Thirdly
,
these
disturbances
in
the
Easterne
parts
of
the
Turkish
Empire
,
were
also
much
encreased
by
a
Sedition
in
Egypt
:
Which
Countrey
also
beeing
vnder
the
Turkish
Dominion
,
refused
to
accept
of
their
new
Bashaw
,
and
made
a
most
furious
Faction
against
him
;
so
that
the
whole
Countrey
was
also
ready
to
reuolt
:
but
by
the
perswasion
of
the
former
Bashaw
,
then
going
out
of
his
Office
,
the
common
people
were
something
appeased
,
and
entertayned
their
new
Gouernour
.
And
thus
you
see
the
distractions
of
this
huge
and
vaste
Turkish
Empire
;
which
begins
to
change
their
Obedience
,
with
the
Murther
of
their
former
Prince
:
Which
Seditions
in
the
people
,
no
doubt
will
be
eagerly
apprehended
by
the
King
of
Persia
,
who
could
willingly
see
euery
one
of
the
Bashawes
(
like
the
Captaines
after
Alexanders
death
)
catch
a
share
for
himselfe
,
that
so
hee
might
be
too
strong
for
any
one
of
them
single
;
and
at
last
,
whilest
they
fight
with
him
seuerally
,
hee
might
ouercome
them
all
generally
.
From
Algier
,
Octob.

From
Algiers
the
Letters
come
by
the
way
of
Venice
,
whence
they
write
;
that
the
two
famous
English
Pyrats
,
Captaine
Ward
,
and
Captaine
Sampson
,
and
diuers
others
of
their
crew
,
are
lately
dead
of
the
plague
,
which
is
extremely
rife
in
many
parts
of
Barbary
.
From
Algiers
againe
they
write
,
that
the
Ambassador
of
the
States
of
the
Low
Countryes
Doctor
Pinacker
,
had
so
well
sped
himselfe
in
his
ambassage
,
that
he
had
obtained
an
agreement
betwixt
those
of
Algier
,
and
the
vnited
Prouinces
;
and
that
hee
had
gotten
libertie
for
diuers
of
his
Countrimen
,
whom
the
Pyrats
of
Algier
had
taken
at
Sea
,
and
made
Galley-slaues
of
,
which
he
hauing
obtained
here
,
went
for
the
same
purpose
towards
Thunis
,
to
discharge
those
Dutchmen
,
who
were
there
held
either
in
the
Prisons
,
or
in
the
Galleys
.
From
Algier
againe
they
write
,
that
the
Pyrats
had
42.
saile
at
sea
,
excellently
well
prouided
:
And
that
some
of
them
had
lately
brought
in
a
most
rich
Prize
to
Algier
,
which
was
a
Spanish
Carrick
bound
from
Lisbone
in
Portugall
,
for
the
East
Indies
;
whe●ein
were
found
diuers
Chests
of
money
,
of
Gold
and
Siluer
,
&c.
And
they
brought
in
also
another
Spanish
Galleon
,
with
16.
brasse
and
many
yron
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
manned
also
with
250.
Souldiers
and
Sailers
,
and
besides
both
these
,
they
had
gotten
4.
other
ships
also
.
From
Marsilia
,
Octob.
27.
Some
of
the
Galleys
of
Algiers
haue
done
great
hurt
to
ours
hereabouts
,
and
haue
nere
to
Tarracona
taken
a
Spanish
vessell
comming
from
Botri
,
and
another
from
Marsilia
,
both
richly
laden
;
but
the
Mariners
saued
themselues
by
getting
a-shoare
:
But
whiles
the
Pyrats
were
pillaging
the
Ships
,
certaine
Spanish
Galleys
came
and
rescued
them
out
of
their
hands
.
From
Rome
,
Octob.
18.
By
the
way
of
Rome
also
the
newes
comes
from
Algiers
,
that
the
Turkish
Pyrates
there
haue
lately
taken
a
ship
,
comming
from
Noua
Hispania
,
wherein
were
to
the
value
of
20000.
Crownes
,
and
200.
men
which
were
found
aboard
of
her
,
were
all
made
slaues
.
Thus
you
heare
,
that
though
Ward
and
Sampson
,
be
dead
,
yet
the
Turkes
haue
Pyrates
and
Rouers
enough
to
trouble
all
the
Merchants
that
trade
that
way
.
From
Venice
,
Octob.
28.
From

The
Plague
is
still
so
great
and
raging
in
the
lower
Hungary
,
that
whole
villages
dye
all
vp
of
it
.
From
Franckford
.

We
haue
lately
made
mention
of
the
surrendring
vp
of
the
Castle
of
Manheim
to
the
Emperour
,
which
being
performed
,
the
Garrison
marched
out
thence
betwixt
nine
and
eleuen
a
clocke
in
the
forenoone
,
hauing
10
Companies
of
English
,
and
14
Companies
of
Dutch
,
but
yet
nothing
neere
whole
and
full
Companies
.
There
were
found
in
the
Castle
5000
malter
or
sacks
of
corne
,
and
300
Fuder
or
Tuns
of
wine
,
and
52
peeces
of
Cannon
;
but
as
for
powder
,
and
such
other
prouision
,
nothing
at
all
,
for
the
besieged
had
bestowed
that
vpon
their
enemies
before
.
From
Franckford
.
Nouemb.
18.
The
siege
of
Franckendale
yet
continues
,
for
they
in
the
Towne
being
indifferently
well
prouided
,
purpose
not
to
giue
it
ouer
too
suddenly
,
without
honourable
conditions
.
The
Enemie
hath
not
much
dry
ground
to
entrench
himselfe
vpon
,
so
that
the
besieged
care
not
much
for
him
,
vntill
the
hard
frost
comes
,
when
the
Enemie
may
both
lye
dry
,
and
haue
firme
ground
to
draw
his
Ordnance
,
if
the
siege
lasts
so
long
,
which
is
expected
to
be
raised
before
that
time
.
From
Hamborough

Since
our
last
newes
printed
Nouemb.
21.
wherein
we
told
you
of
the
resolute
holding
out
of
the
siege
of
Glatz
;
we
haue
heard
since
,
that
that
strong
towne
is
surrendred
to
the
Emperour
,
by
the
young
Count
of
Tourne
,
who
before
so
brauely
defended
it
:
But
the
particulars
we
yet
haue
not
:
Only
thus
much
from
Hamborough
,
that
the
young
Count
was
there
arriued
,
with
intention
to
goe
into
Holland
,
and
that
he
was
enforct
to
giue
it
vp
for
want
of
powder
.
But
of
this
,
the
next
faire
winde
,
will
(
we
hope
)
bring
vs
the
particulars
.
In
the
meane
time
,
you
may
please
to
obserue
this
,
that
the
two
strong
peeces
of
Glatz
and
Manheim
,
were
much
about
a
time
giuen
ouer
,
not
for
want
of
valour
,
but
for
want
of
powder
.
From
the
Dyet
of
Regenspurg
.
Here
are
also
some
letters
in
London
,
which
relate
,
that
the
Count
Mansfield
hath
inuaded
the
Count
of
Embdens
country
,
vpon
this
quarrell
(
as
it
is
thought
)
that
he
maintayned
ten
Companies
for
three
months
space
in
Spinolaes
Armie
,
against
the
States
and
the
Prince
of
Orange
:
And

Spinola
hath
sent

The
Prince
of
Orange
(
who
we
told
you
before
in
our
last
Newes
,
was
gone

)
is
now
they
say
gone
to
take
in
Lingen
,
which
Count
Mansfield
had
a
farre

blocked
vp

That
which

this
passe
for
truth
is
,
for
that
Lingen
(
as
we
told
you
)
was
sometimes
the
Prince
of
Oranges
owne
inheritance
,
which
he
now
desires
much
to
recouer
.
The
Count
Mansfield
is
now
got
into
Embden-land
:
He
is
thought
to
haue
neere
10000
horse
.
He
demanded
,
as
they
say
,
200000
Rixe
Dollars
,
and
two
principall
Townes
(
the
very
keyes
of
the
country
)
of
the
Count
of
Emden
,
in
satisfaction
to
the
States
,
whose
enemies
hee
had
ayded
.
Whereupon
the
Count
fled
with
his
houshold
furniture
,
towards
the
Bishop
of
Bremens
country
,
and
sent
his
two
daughters
to
the
towne
of
Embden
to
be
there
in
more
safetie
.
It
is
confirmed
,
that
the
Count
of
Anholt
,
who
hath
beene
the
Bishop
of
Cullens
Generall
,
hath
had
his
towne
of
Anholt
taken
from
him
by
Count
Mansfield
.
The
country
comes
in
so
fast
to
Count
Mansfield
,
that
he
cannot
entertaine
them
all
,
but
is
faine
to
thanke
and
dismisse
diuers
.
The
money
which
should
pay
those
16000
,
which
the
Colonel
Kniphowsen
is
gone
to
leuie
for
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
,
in
Bremenland
,
Wesphalia
,
and
Brunswick
,
is
made
ouer
to
Embden
by
the
States
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
;
where
it
lyes
ready
for
them
.
The
Duke
of
Brunswick
was
conueyed
vp
towards
Count
Mansfield
,
by
the
Count
Henry
of
Nassaw
his
horse
:
which
peraduenture
were
those
30
Cornets
,
or
some
of
them
,
which
we
in
our
last
Newes
told
you
of
,
that
Count
Henry
had
at
Schencksconse
.
We
haue
here
in
London
heard
it
againe
reported
,
that
Count
Mansfield
and
Henry
Vandenberg
haue
had
some
bickering
,
wherein
Mansfield
had
much
the
better
:
but
for
that
we
wonder
,
how
that
Count
Mansfield
should
go
on
so
quietly
into
Embden-land
,
and
why
the
Count
should
flie
,
if
Henry
Vandenberg
were
so
neere
;
as
also
for
that
we
haue
heard
no
further
of
Henry
Vandenbergs
march
that
way
,
vnlesse
it
be
he
that
is
gone
into
the
Duke
of
Holsteins
country
;
we
will
not
report
this
as
a
certainty
,
till
we
see
better
authoritie
for
it
,
in
the
Low
Dutch
relations
.
From
the
Hague
the
26
of
Nouemb.
1622.
The
Newes
here
is
,
That
the
Count
Mansfield
is
with
his
forces
in
the
County
of
Embden
,
ransacking
the
country
:
And
that
the
Bishop
of
Collen
,
and
others
,
raise
also
forces
to
doe
the
like
,
meaning
to
reuenge
themselues
vpon
the
Duke
of
Holsteins
country
,
or
thereabouts
.
The
Prince
of
Orange
is
also
ready
with
12000
men
to
march
vpwards
.
From
Duynkercke
,
the
first
of
Nouember
.
Our
valiant
and
famous
Captaine
Whitbok
is
here
deceased
the
six
and
twentieth
of
Octob.
,
those
that
employed
him
haue
lost
much
by
his
death
,
in
the
iudgement
of
the
whole
world
:
for
he
was
a
valiant
and
wary
Captaine
.
Hee
was
buried
with
great
state
and
pompe
.
Burgundy
was
drawne
behinde
him
,
his
Corpes
were
wrapped
vp
,
in
the
habite
of
a
Frier
Predicant
:
the
Hearse
was
followed
by
an
hundred
Muskettiers
,
who
gaue
him
three
vollies
before
the
Church
at
his
buriall
.
Hee
hath
left
behinde
him
a
Brother
of
his
,
who
is
likewise
a
very
valiant
Captaine
.
Concerning
the
tyranny
of
the
Reformed
Brothers
(
so
the
Dunkirkers
here
,
call
the
Hollanders
who
professe
the
Reformed
Religion
)
vpon
those
of
Captaine
Michael
Iacobs
Ship
of
Ostend
,
whom
they
fisht
and
gate
out
of
the
water
,
to
hang
them
,
it
will
breed
ill
bloud
,
for
wee
are
aduised
from
Brussels
,
that
the
seuenty
Rotterdammers
and
Emhuyseners
,
which
are
here
in
prison
,
must
cast
Dice
for
their
liues
,
to
make
vp
two
and
twenty
out
of
them
all
,
to
be
hanged
;
which
are
iust
so
many
as
the
Hollanders
hanged
of
ours
.
And
our
Princesse
the
Archduchesse
shewes
her selfe
very
mercifull
,
seeing
shee
will
haue
but
number
for
number
put
to
death
;
and
not
all
of
these
,
which
are
here
imprisoned
.
Touching
the
Spanish
Nauie
,
seeing
it
is
not
arriued
here
with
the
last
good
winde
,
we
thinke
that
it
is
returned
backe
againe
.
From
Flushing

22.
of
Nouember
.
After
the
finishing
of
this
Letter
,
here
comes
certaine
tidings
by
a
man
of
warre
,
that
the
Spanish
Fleete
some
foure
and
twenty
or
seuen
and
twenty
Saile
strong
,
is
vpon
the
Coast
of
France
,
betwixt
Boloigne
and
Diepe
,
being
resolued
to
land
fiue
thousand
Spaniards
in
Flanders
.
Whereupon
wee
are
here
in
all
haste
making
diuers
saile
ready
,
ten
lying
ready
in
the
Hauen
,
went
presently
away
.
It
was
some
whiles
since
reported
here
in
London
,
that
the
Spaniards
had
alreadie
landed
these
fiue
thousand
men
in
France
,
to
goe
from
thence
into
Flanders
.
And
now
if
you
please
to
see
what
warlike
preparations
the
Low-country-men
haue
lately
made
,
against
the
Spanish
Nauie
,
you
may
reade
these
three
particulars
,
which
though
they
be
not
al
new
,
because
not
all
done
at
once
;
yet
we
thought
good
to
impart
them
,
for
that
we
would
shew
you
their
whole
Fleet
,
or
as
much
of
it
as
we
know
.

The

Angoulesme
,
who
is
resolued
to

it

our

They
are
lodged
