A
true
Report
of
all
the
passages
in
the
I
le
of
Ree
,
twixt
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
his
Grace
,
and
Monsieur
Thorax
,
Gouernour
of
the
Fort
,
as
also
betwixt
the
Duke
,
and
the
French
King
,
and
of
the
state
of
the
Rochellers
,
and
the
Kings
forces
lying
before
it
,
together
with
other
matters
of
moment
lately
hapned
there
.
As
it
was
on
Sunday
last
being
the
25.
of
October
,
related
at
White
Hall
,
by
a
Dutchman
that
came
from
thence
.
ABout
twelue
dayes
since
it
pleased
his
Excellencie
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
to
dispatch
a
Dutchman
with
Letters
to
his
Maiestie
concerning
the
present
state
of
our
Armie
,
lying
now
in
the
I
le
of
Ree
,
and
before
the
Fort
or
Cittadell
there
,
who
saith
,
that
about
three
dayes
before
his
comming
away
,
Sir
William
Bourchier
arriued
at
the
I
le
with
certaine
ships
furnished
with
money
and
victuals
,
safe
and
well
,
which
gaue
great
comfort
to
his
Excellencie
,
hauing
long
expected
to
heare
from
England
,
in
so
much
that
before
his
arriuall
our
Armie
was
in
great
distresse
for
want
of
prouision
and
of
victuals
,
and
other
necessaries
,
that
it
was
a
great
question
whether
they
should
continue
there
any
longer
,
or
rather
giue
ouer
the
further
prosecution
of
the
action
,
in
regard
of
those
many
extremities
that
they
were
brought
vnto
,
hauing
beene
of
a
long
time
not
supplyed
from
England
,
whereupon
my
Lord
taking
into
consideration
,
the
great
dishonour
that
would
redound
to
the
Nation
;
said
that
he
would
for
his
part
aduenture
himselfe
to
the
vttermost
perils
Fortune
could
obiect
against
him
,
rather
then
hee
would
giue
ouer
so
noble
a
designe
,
and
did
therevpon
exhort
all
his
followers
and
Souldiers
to
a
constant
perseuerance
in
the
action
,
maugre
all
the
difficulties
that
might
ensue
saying
that
hee
would
participate
of
the
greatest
dangers
with
themenest
of
his
followers
,
before
hee
would
suffer
the
dishonour
that
would
accrue
vpon
the
declining
of
such
an
action
,
and
further
said
hee
would
rather
commit
himselfe
and
his
whole
Armie
to
the
releeuing
of
the
Towne
of
Rochell
before
he
would
returne
into
England
with
dishonour
,
or
without
the
accomplishing
of
the
businesse
for
which
he
came
thither
.
For
the
state
of
the
Fort
(
notwithstanding
some
small
reliefe
they
lately
had
obtayned
)
is
such
that
in
the
iudgement
of
man
,
it
cannot
hold
out
many
dayes
,
for
since
they
haue
receiued
some
reliefe
,
there
hath
come
forth
daily
by
twenties
more
or
lesse
,
poore
hunger-starued
people
,
which
doth
demonstrate
the
state
of
the
rest
,
hauing
had
(
as
they
report
)
only
a
poore
pittance
of
Bread
and
Water
,
for
a
moneth
or
fiue
weekes
together
,
insomuch
,
that
the
number
in
the
Fort
which
they
haue
remayning
for
defence
,
is
come
from
two
thousand
and
odde
to
fiue
hundred
,
and
that
of
late
about
two
dayes
before
the
comming
away
of
this
Messenger
,
a
Dutchman
comming
out
of
the
Fort
,
and
did
deliuer
to
my
Lord
Duke
the
strength
of
the
Fort
,
and
where
they
were
best
prouided
for
defence
,
what
places
were
weakest
,
and
not
able
to
defend
the
least
assault
,
should
bee
made
against
them
.
For
in
reason
,
if
we
consider
the
compasse
of
the
Fort
)
being
about
a
mile
)
the
besieged
with
that
number
of
men
cannot
mayntaine
each
worke
,
with
enterchange
of
fresh
men
,
as
the
necessitie
of
the
siege
will
require
,
by
which
you
may
gather
that
they
cannot
long
subsist
.
Besides
my
Lord
hath
taken
and
doth
possesse
,
two
of
the
principall
out-workes
of
the
Enemie
,
by
which
they
are
able
to
dismount
the
greatest
part
of
their
Ordinance
,
and
in
short
time
to
command
some
other
of
their
best
workes
,
and
to
giue
law
vnto
them
in
their
owne
tro●ches
.
Vpon
which
consideration
,
together
with
other
information
receiued
,
my
Lord
called
a
Councell
,
and
did
thereupon
resolue
to
assaile
them
in
places
of
best
aduantage
,
which
was
to
be
put
in
execution
immediately
vpon
the
comming
away
of
this
Messenger
,
not
doubting
(
as
this
Messenger
reports
)
of
a
happie
Issue
,
and
that
the
Fort
before
this
is
in
the
possession
of
the
English
.
For
the
further
hope
of
reliefe
which
they
may
expect
from
the
Mayne
,
my
Lord
hath
taken
such
care
,
and
hath
from
Rochell
receiued
diuers
flat
bottome
Boates
,
which
are
so
linked
and
chainted
together
by
art
,
that
now
it
is
impossible
that
any
succour
should
be
brought
in
,
in
the
night
,
as
formerly
hath
beene
;
now
,
whereas
some
may
obiect
against
my
Lords
care
in
suffering
the
Fort
thus
at
seuerall
times
to
be
relieued
,
I
answer
,
that
it
is
not
possible
,
neither
could
the
wit
of
man
preuent
the
same
,
if
they
will
venture
at
all
times
,
and
hazard
themselues
,
but
that
some
of
many
may
scape
in
,
with
some
small
prouision
,
vnlesse
wee
could
guard
the
shoare
with
a
sufficient
number
of
Boates
aswell
night
,
as
day
,
to
preuent
which
they
haue
now
made
a
Barracado
;
as
aforesaid
.
The
French
King
did
lately
send
a
Messenger
to
my
Lord
to
require
a
faire
quarter
to
bee
obserued
by
his
Excellency
,
&
did
promise
the
like
should
be
obserued
on
his
part
,
wherunto
my
Lord
sent
him
this
answer
,
that
for
his
part
he
would
obserue
all
farre
quarters
with
his
Maiestie
by
land
;
but
by
water
,
he
desired
him
to
pardon
him
,
and
sayd
,
that
by
water
it
might
disaduanhim
,
and
therefore
would
keepe
no
other
quarters
then
he
had
done
hitherto
,
and
which
by
the
Law
of
Armes
he
might
iustifie
with
his
Honour
.
The
French
King
lying
with
his
Armie
before
Rochell
is
verie
sicke
,
and
doth
suffer
much
in
his
Army
by
seuerall
casualties
:
the
new
Fort
which
hee
hath
lately
erected
,
is
much
demolished
,
and
diuerse
workes
belonging
to
it
taken
by
the
R●chellers
,
besides
those
of
Rochell
are
building
another
Fort
against
it
,
which
will
be
a
great
annoyance
to
the
Kings
Armie
.
The
Duke
of
Rohan
is
marching
to
the
ayd
of
Rochell
with
7000.
Foot
and
500.
Horse
well
prouided
and
resolute
Souldiers
.
In
Lorraine
,
a
Bishop
of
that
Dukedome
hath
in
readinesse
15000.
men
,
which
as
it
is
sayd
,
are
prouided
,
and
haue
a
purpose
to
fall
vpon
some
parts
of
the
French
Kings
Dominions
,
and
that
the
quarrell
should
be
the
House
of
Austria's
,
besides
some
other
Princes
are
preparing
to
inuade
him
likewise
,
which
will
giue
the
French
King
his
hands
full
.
My
L.
Duke
and
his
whole
Armie
are
couragious
and
in
good
estate
,
he
hath
receiued
lately
fiue
companies
from
Rochell
of
braue
resolute
fellowes
,
and
hath
sent
into
Rochell
all
his
sicke
and
hurt
men
,
where
they
are
well
releeued
of
all
necessaries
.
The
Rochellers
haue
wholly
declared
themselues
for
the
King
of
England
,
as
by
the
Articles
which
are
agreed
vpon
by
my
L.
Duke
and
them
doth
appeare
,
his
Excellencie
hath
sent
word
to
his
Maiestie
,
that
if
it
please
him
to
send
him
bread
,
he
will
deserue
it
,
but
if
he
will
adde
vnto
it
somewhat
more
he
will
drinke
his
health
;
by
which
you
may
see
his
inuincible
courage
,
zeale
and
affection
to
his
Countries
Honour
,
which
I
pray
God
to
prosper
.
Since
this
Messenger
came

one
Master
Griffin
,
a
Gentle-man

his
Excellencie

dispatcht
away
before

Dutch-man
12.
daies
,
&
doth
confirme
what
this
Messenger
brought
,
only
it
was
his
misfortune
to
arriue
after
him
,
being
crost
by
contrarie
winds
,
and
the
Barke
in
which
hee
came
in
being
cast
away
,
and
onely
himselfe
and
his
fellow-passengers
were
saued
by
the
mercie
of
God
,
together
with
those
packets
and
other
matters
of
worth
,
which
they
had
in
the
said
Barke
,
were
saued
from
shipwracke
,
and
can
relate
not
much
more
then
the
former
Messenger
.

ON
Wednesday
last
,
past
an
extraordinary
Post
,
of
the
Merchants
of
Genoa
through
this

of
Silke
which
he
hath
in
the
Kingdome
of
Naples
,
to
get
thereby
the
money
which
hee
oweth
vnto
them
.
Here
is
little
newes
,
seeing
that
all
the
Souldiers
which
were
in
these
parts
leauied
,
are
gone
into
Germany
,
to
serue
the

,
the

of
Hungarie
,
and
both
his
daughters
,
besides
many
of
his

,
gone
from
hence
towards
Prage
.
The

and
the

His

and
all

day
to
keepe
at
Nicholas

Saint
Michael
.
The
Duke
Iulius
Fredericke
of
Wirtenburg
is
here
daily
expected
.
But
it
is
thought
that
seeing
that
the
Emperor
is
departed
that
he
will
rest
himselfe
here
some
dayes
,
and
goe
afterwards
to
the
Emperor
.
To
day
is
expired
the
time
which
was
prefixed
to
the
Protestant
Preachers
for

.
But
seeing
that
the
raine-water
,
and
otherwaters
which
haue
drowned
the
Land
,
haue
much
spoiled
the
high-wayes
,
that

they
haue
at

obtained
leaue
to
tarry
in
this
Land
some
few
weekes
to
dispose
in
the
interim
of
their

meanes
.
They
are
to
forsake
this
land
before
expiration
of
three
weekes
,
vpon
paine
to
be
seuerely
punished
.
It
is
here
rumored
by
many
,
but
belieued
by
very
few
,
that
there
a
peace
concluded
betwixt
the
Emperour
and
the
great
Signior
for
the
space
of
25.
yeares
.
Herewith

Schoole-masters
which
are
Protestants

the
Land
of
Over-Ens
within
a

From
Breslaw

October
.
To
day
is
the
Company
of
Captaine
Swank
discharged
which
was
leauied
for
this
Citie
,
so
that
wee
haue
now
no
more
then
three
Companies
to
entertaine
.
Wee
haue
newes
from
Thorne
that
there
is
not
as
yet
a
peace
concluded
betwixt
the
Kings
of
Polon
and
Sweden
.
It
continueth
not
that
the
Army
of
Sweden
hath
bene
ouerthrowne
by
the
Poloniuns
as
they
did
formerly
write
from
Dansick
:
But
it
is
certaien
that
there
haue
been
many
slaine
of
each
side
,
and
that
both
parties
retreated
againe
to
their
works
,
and
intrenchments
.
The
Ambassadors
,
and
Commissioners
meet
yet
dayly
,
and
it
is
reported
that
the
Swedish
propound
very
hard
conditions
of
peace
,
namely
,
that
the
King
of
Poland
should
resigne
for
euer
for
him
and
his
heires
the
title
and
claime
which
hee
hath
or
pretendeth
to
the
Kingdome
of
Sweden
:
That
the
King
of
Poland
should
giue
to
the
King
of
Sweden
80
tunnes
of
gold
for
the
payment
of
his
souldiers
,
and
warlike
expences
:
As
likewise
that
the
King
of
Poland
should
suffer
him
to
enioy
for
the
space
of
tenne
yeares
all
the
places
which
he
hath
taken
in
Prussia
,
and
after
the
expiration
of
them
,
hee
should
restore
them
againe
to
the
Crowne
of
Poland
,
besides
diuers
other
difficult
points
vnto
which
the
King
of
Poland
will
not
agree
.
On
Saturday
last
here
was
one
beheaded
before
the
Towne
house
,
because
he
kill'd
a
Coach-man
.
To
day
is
here
published
a
Proclamation
of
the
Emperor
by
which
he
causeth
all
the
lands
and
goods
to
bee
confiscated
of
them
which
went
to
serue
Count
Mansfield
in
the
late
warres
.
They
write
from
Neus
that
no
Protestants
are
suffered
there
to
marry
,
vnlesse
they
imbrace
the
Romish
Religion
.
But
if
they
will
not
doe
it
,
they
may
sell
their
lands
,
and
goods
,
and
depart
thence
.
From

&
the

discharged
sixe
Companies
of
Italians
,
that
they
take
neuerthelesse
Germaines
into
their
seruice
in
lieu
of
them
.
We
learne

From

On

time
went
the
Duke
of
Holstein
into
the

to
looke
out
for
a
conuenient
place
to

that
of
the
Polonians
)
to
whom
are
likewise
ioyned
the
Forces
of
the
two
Commanders
named
Dohnhof●r
.
On
the
29
of
August
about
the
euening
came
the
King
of
Poland
with
many
men
of
note
,
and
his
Courtiers
,
and
followers
into
this
City
,
and
was
with
great
state
and
pompe
fetcht
into
it
by
our
Citizens
;
and
well
entertained
afterwards
by
our
Magistrates
.
The
day
before
were
the
Ambassadours
of
the
States
Generall
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
of
the
Low-Counties
which
labour
very
earnestly
to
make
peace
betwixt
Poland
and
Sweden
)
gone
towards
the
Polon●an
Generall
of
the
Field
.
On
the
first
of
September
went
the
King
of
Poland
to
see
and
to
view
our
walls
,
and
all
our
sconces
,
and
works
round
about
this
City
,
and
especially
the
new
raised
sconce
,
which
the
souldiers
cal
commonly
Schenke-sconce
,
by
reason
of
the
strength
of
it
:
and
at
the
same
time
there
were
44
peeces
of
ordnance
discharged
,
besides
many
muskets
both
by
water
and
land
.
The
King
liking
these
workes
exceedingly
well
,
reioyced
much
at
it
,
and
commended
much
to
his
Lords
the
endeauors
and
faithfulnesse
of
the
Dansickers
,
saying
that
they
had
well
laboured
,
and
were
his
loyall
seruants
,
and
that
they
had
not
done
as
they
of
Elbingen
,
and
others
.
On
the
second
of
September
went
the
King
of
Poland
with
the
Prince
his
sonne
,
and
diuers
great
Lords
,
besides
our
Burgemasters
,
and
some
of
our
Aldermen
,
early
in
the
morning
toward
the
Fort
which
is
called
Weichselmundt
,
and
when
they
had
viewed
there
all
things
very
well
,
our
Magistrates
did
feast
very
stately
both
the
King
and
his
followers
,
and
about
the
euening
there
were
many
pieces
of
ordnance
discharged
both
in
the
12
Ships
which
lay
thereabout
,
and
in
the
Sconces
.
And
it
happened
that
about
the
same
time
,
that
a
Galley
of
the
King
of
Poland
being
put
to
Sea
to
try
whether
it
could
well
sayle
,
it
encountred
with
a
Swedish
ship
,
and
had
a
pretty
combat
both
with
it
,
and
3
other
for
a
little
while
,
which
were
afterwards
cruelly
battered
by
our
ordnance
which
lay
in
a
sconce
neere
which
the
Swedish
followed
the
said
Gally
.
The
said
King
hauing
seene
this
sport
with
contentment
,
returned
the
same
euening
againe
to
the
said
City
,
and
departed
from
thence
on
the
4
of
this
moneth
,
three
Postes
being
sent
to
him
,
and
went
directly
towards
his
Army
.
In
the
weeke
which
is
last
past
were
the
Ambassadors
together
,
and
the
Polonians
were
to
propound
some
articles
of
peace
betwixt
Poland
and
Sweden
.
From
Brunswicke
the
2
of
October
.
We
haue
nor
as
yet
any
other
newes
from
the
Deputations
day
which
is
appointed
to
be
kept
at
Mulhowsen
,
but
that
diuers
Ambassadors
as
of
the
Emperor
,
Electors
,
Princes
,
and
States
of
the
Empire
,
are
gone
thitherward
.
They
of
Wolfenbuttel
although
they
are
very
close
imblocked
,
sally
neuerthelesse
daily
forth
,
and
slue
few
dayes
agoe
many
Imperiall
souldiers
and
husbandmen
that
would
stop
the
water
which
runneth
to
the
sayd
Towne
.
The
Towne
of
Newburg
,
or
the
Gouernor
of
it
,
namely
the
Colonell
Limbach
hath
offered
to
surrender
it
vpon
certaine
conditions
to
the
Duke
of
Lunnenburg
,
and
amongst
the
rest
,
that
the
Emperour
should
grant
a
generall
pardon
to
them
that
are
in
it
.
But
if
that
be
refused
,
he
will
blow
vp
the
said
Towne
,
and
ruine
all
that
is
therein
.
From
Verden
the
8
of
October
.
Both
the
Imperiall
and
Danish
souldiers
make
themselues
daily
stronger
and
stronger
in
this
Bishopricke
.
The
Danish
hauing
raised
a
strong
sconce
at
Borcht
to
maintaine
themselues
there
,
they
haue
fired
the
Towne
of
Verden
,
and
burned
it
quite
to
the
ground
.
From
Newburg
we
heare
no
newes
,
seeing
that
the
said
Towne
being
now
very
strictly
besieged
,
the
Posts
which
come
from
Cullen
haue
altered
their
passage
,
and
trauelled
by
the
way
of
Newstadt
:
But
it
is
thought
that
it
shall
be
surrendred
if
the
Gouernor
of
it
can
obtaine
a
pardon
of
the
Emperor
,
seeing
that
he
hath
had
it
twice
before
.
The
Imperialists
make
great
warlike
preparations
to
beat
the
Danish
quite
out
of
the
Bishopricke
of
Bremen
of
which
we
shall
shortly
heare
more
.
From
Stoade
the
7
of
October
.
This
Towne
is
replenished
with
Danish
Souldiers
,
but
they
are
in
great
feare
,
seeing
that
the
Imperialists
strengthen
themselues
daily
in
those
parts
.
Our
Bishop
who
is
now
at
Lubecke
,
as
likewise
the
Imperiall
Ambassadors
which
are
yet
at
Hamburg
,
exhort
the
States
of
these
Lands
that
they
will
remember
the
oath
which
they
haue
made
to
the
Emperor
.
The
Danish
lye
yet
intrenched
neere
Crimpen
,
and
Lukestadt
,
and
we
haue
not
heard
that
there
hath
lately
any
thing
of
moment
beene
done
by
the
Imperialists
or
Danish
.
From
Pinnenberg
the
10
of
October
.
We
haue
not
as
yet
learned
any
certaintie
how
it
standeth
with
Rensburg
,
and
with
the
Imperiall
Campe
,
but
we
expect
it
daily
.
The
Generall
Tilly
is
gone
from
Lawenburg
towards
Winsen
,
which
is
a
Castle
of
the
Duke
of
Lunnenburg
.
