Continuation
of

weekely
Newes
.
From
Venice
the
24
of
May
,
1630.
THe
Warre
in
Italy
encreaseth
daily
,
and
waxeth
hotter
,
the
French
doe
strongly
fortifie
the
Incorporated
Cities
in
Sauoy
,
and
haue
taken
another
towne
of
great
importance
,
and
now
are
marching
toward
Cassall
,
to
relieue
that
.
The
Spanish
on
the
other
side
,
doe
fortifie
themselues
by
the
Piedmont
Sea
;
with
Sconces
,
retrenchments
and
men
,
&
lye
round
about
Cassall
,
with
aboue
20000
men
,
with
Shot
,
Canons
,
and
Amunition
,
vnder
the
Command
of
Colonell
Pianso
,
they
haue
assaulted
the
little
Sconce
before
Cassall
,
with
6000
men
but
were
beaten
backe
twice
manfully
and
couragiously
by
the
French
.
Insomuch
that
they
were
compelled
to
retyre
,
with
the
losse
of
the
said
Colonell
Piause
and
800
more
.
The
Duke
of
Mantua
and
the
Imperialists
lye
ouerthwart
against
each
other
in
battell
,
and
they
doe
daily
skirmish
with
each
other
.
His
Maiestie
of
France
will
by
no
meanes
yeeld
to
any
agreement
,
but
striues
to
accomplish
his
designe
and
purpose
.
The
Marquis
Spinola
demaunds
great
summes
of
moneys
from
the
King
of
Spain
,
pretending
that
he
means
to
performe
some
notable
exploit
.
In
Millan
dy
daily
about
80
or
100
persons
,
&
in
diuers
other
Cities
.
All
fruits
and
lands
are
quite
ruinated
,
insomuch
that
a
great
dearth
may
be
expected
.
In
shutting
vp
of
this
Letter
,
commeth
tydings
that
the
French
haue
brought
great
supply
and
reliefe
into
Cassall
.
The
P●rats
of
Thunis
and
A●giers
,
haue
done
exceeding
great
harme
vpon
the
Coast
of
Sicile
,
and
haue
taken
diuers
ships
,
and
haue
strain'd
a
very
great
and
richly
laden
ship
.
From
Rome
the
25
of
May.
1630.
We
vnderstand
from
Spaine
,
that
there
was
great
ioy
lately
at
Court
,
concerning
the
birth
of
some
young
Prince
.
And
that
Letters
ar●
come
from
Don
Frederico
,
which
mention
,
that
the
Fleet
is
happily
come
into
the
Hauana
.
And
they
did
hope
that
the
same
Fleet
would
safely
arriue
in
Spaine
about
the
end
of
this
same
moneth
.
From
Venice
the
24
of
May.
From
Millan
,
we
learne
that
the
Dutch
are
arriued
in
the
same
Command
of
the
which
already
,
7000
foote
,
and
800
horse
are
vnder
the
Commaund
of
those
of
Mantua
,
being
marched
thither
.
The
rest
are
laid
in
Montserat
.
The
Generall
Piccolomeni
is
to
conduct
them
thither
12000
foot
more
,
and
3000
horse
.
Now
newly
commeth
tydings
that
the
French
haue
taken
the
head
towne
Chambery
,
with
agreement
.
And
that
Mounsieur
Bassampier
hath
also
besieged
some
place
of
importance
.
It
is
coniectured
,
and
is
also
very
probable
that
all
Sauoy
will
fall
vnder
the
obedience
of
the
French
King
.
From
Venice
the
31
of
May.
We
heare
from
Piedmont
,
that
being
his
Maiestie
of
France
had
well
beset
the
City
of
Chambery
,
he
himselfe
with
all
his
forces
is
proceeded
farther
into
Sauoy
,
so
to
approach
with
maine
force
into
Italy
.
The
Spanish
doe
begin
to
breake
vp
apace
,
and
to
forsake
Cassall
,
some
going
towards
Millan
,
others
towards
Sauoy
,
to
hinder
the
passage
with
greater
force
.
The
forces
of
the
Duke
of
Mantua
and
his
Seignorie
,
happened
into
a
hot
skirmish
with
the
Imperialists
,
who
with
some
20000
strong
,
did
striue
to
lodge
in
the
Dukedome
of
Mantua
.
In
this
skirmish
,
many
were
slaine
on
both
sides
.
Howsoeuer
,
they
hindered
the
Imperialists
in
their
intention
,
who
were
constrained
to
seeke
other
Quarters
,
where
they
begin
to
entrench
themselues
,
by
reason
the
Cardinall
comes
downe
with
such
a
strong
Army
.
The
plague
encreaseth
exceedingly
among
the
souldiers
,
as
well
in
field
as
in
the
towne
.
The
Marquis
Spinola
is
about
to
furnish
another
Army
,
which
vnder
the
protection
of
the
Emperour
,
he
intends
to
bring
against
this
Seigniory
.
To
this
end
are
come
diuers
summes
of
ready
money
from
the
King
of
Spaine
into
Genua
,
with
promise
of
fiue
millions
more
,
as
soone
as
the
siluer
or
Plate-Fleete
shall
be
arriued
.
From
Verona
the
3
of
Iune
.
From
Millan
is
written
that
the
Marquis
Spinola
is
departed
toward
Frasineto
,
to
vndertake
the
siege
of
Cassall
on
the
Netherland
manner
.
He
hath
already
brought
thither
40
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
amongst
them
24
Culuerins
,
with
many
Granadoes
and
Fireworkes
.
The
Spanish
haue
made
a
strong
assault
on
the
outward
Works
of
the
same
City
,
and
driuen
the
French
vnto
the
very
gates
of
the
City
.
In
which
bickering
,
many
Spaniards
were
slaine
,
especially
those
of
the
Regiment
of
Schauwenborgh
.
At
this
present
,
they
haue
made
a
Battery
before
the
Citie
,
and
doe
begin
to
shoot
.
The
Commander
Gallas
hath
placed
himselfe
,
with
6000
Musketiers
,
and
1500
horsemen
,
betweene
this
City
and
Mantua
,
to
depriue
those
of
Mantua
of
their
Prouiand
and
Amunition
which
they
conuey
,
which
the
Seignorie
of
Venice
will
striue
to
hinder
.
The
Imperialists
haue
taken
Valesio
,
Villa
Franca
,
and
all
the
townes
Cauttatto
,
in
the
which
the
Venetians
haue
lost
at
least
2000
men
Their
Generall
Sagreto
was
compelled
with
his
Artillerie
and
men
to
retyre
.
All
this
while
the
Imperialists
doe
much
wrong
,
and
waste
the
Countrey
with
burning
,
for
you
may
see
one
fire
continually
kindled
after
another
.
In
the
last
encounter
before
Goyto
,
the
Imperialists
tooke
from
the
Venetians
,
25
Ancients
,
and
4
Cornets
which
shall
be
presented
to
the
Duke
of
Friedland
,
by
the
Commander
Picolomeni
.
From
Italy
the
8
of
Iune
.
The
reason
why
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
sent
the
Abbot
de
la
Scaglia
into
Spaine
,
was
to
assure
the
King
of
Spaine
,
concerning
his
constancy
and
fidelity
as
also
to
giue
him
thankes
for
the
great
assistance
and
succour
which
hee
had
afforded
him
in
these
late
occurrences
.
From
Geneua
it
is
reported
that
the
Prince
Thomas
hath
retyred
himselfe
out
of
Sauoy
,
from
Chambergh
to
Montmelian
.
Yeelding
vnto
those
of
Chambergh
,
and
other
Cities
which
are
not
tenable
,
free
consent
to
accommodate
themselues
with
France
,
as
they
shall
see
fitting
But
not
to
change
their
affections
and
loue
against
the
house
of
Sauoy
.
From
Vienna
the
5
of
Iune
.
Since
his
Emperiall
Maiesty
departed
hence
,
there
is
but
little
happened
,
onely
we
vnderstand
from
Hungary
that
the
Turks
doe
assemble
very
strong
;
it
is
feared
that
the
Turke
will
attempt
something
against
Hungary
.
Whereupon
the
Citie
Magistrates
here
haue
caused
the
Bridge
with
all
necessaries
to
be
repaired
.
Also
in
Hungarie
is
command
giuen
for
the
amending
of
the
Frontiers
,
and
fortification
of
the
same
.
By
reason
that
about
Lowen
,
some
20
Turkes
which
went
out
a
breebooting
,
and
robbing
,
were
slaine
and
found
dead
;
The
Turkes
haue
againe
in
great
Company
assembled
together
and
fallen
vpon
the
Merchants
of
Lowen
returning
homeward
,
and
kill'd
three
hundred
of
them
.
From
Prague
the
18
of
June
.
All
is
at
peace
and
quiet
here
.
Onely
here
are
certaine
Companies
of
Crabates

Commissarie●

certaine
hundred
horse
,
to
what
end
is
not
yet
knowne
.
From
Silecia
the
10
of
June
.
We
doe
vnderstand
that
the
King
of
Sweden
will
fall
into
these
parts
with
8000
horse
,
and
fiue
Regiments
of
foot
.
The
Oderstream
wheresoeuer
Bridges
are
,
is
to
that
end
fortified
with
Sconces
,
and
from
Breslau
thither
is
euery
day
sent
great
store
of
Prouiand
.
The
dearth
continues
still
,
insomuch
that
many
dye
of
hunger
.

.
They
are
already
vpon

,
neare

.
The

is
passed
through
Neurenborch
to
Meningen
,
and
through
Elue
to
the
Army
,
to
affront
the

Army
.
The
Prince
Elector
Saxon
,
is
as
yet
at
rest
,
and
keepes
himselfe
still
,
causeth
no
forces
to

.
He
will
try
whether
he
can
preuaile
by
Messengers
with
the
Emperour
,
concerning
the
monies
which
are
disbursed
.
Now

Hauens
of
Pruysen

Notwithstanding
the
Duke
of
Pomeren
,
and
the
heads
of
the
Countrey
oppose
him
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
they
shall
be
faine
to
suffer
it
.
The
same
Torquato
keepes
his
Rendenouz
about
Stargart
.
Within

there
marched
certaine

his
Companies
with

The
King

.
From
Hamburgh
.
The
whole
Company
here
is
enioyned
by
the
Magistrates
,
by
all
meanes
to
deny
the
King
of
Denmarke
the
Toll
which
at
Gheluckstadt
he
requires
of
the
sh●ps
.
To
this
end
they
haue
prepared
30
warlike
ships
,
well
mounted
with
Ordnance
,
and
all
kind
of
prouision
,
intending
to
encounter
with
the
Kings
ships
,
which
are

It

grow
hot
warres
.
This
City
causeth
daily
men
to
be
leuyed
.
And
the
King
of
Denmarke
makes
no
lesse
preparations
.
Now
commeth
tydings
that
the
King
of
Denmarke
is
departed
from
Gheluckstadt
to
Coppenhagen
,
because
the
King
of
Sweden
had
enquartered
certaine
thousands
of
his

in
Schoonen

Which
is
a
great
easement
to
vs

The

are
now
busied
at
Berk

Bridge
,
for

of
the

they
had
brought
sixe
great
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
with
the
which
they
shot
so
strongly
,
that
those
of
Rocroodt
durst
attempt
nothing
.
The
Citizens
at
Berk
are
much
afraid
of
a
pillaging
,
by
reason
the
souldiers
get
no
pay
.
They
lye
30
and
40
in
one
house
.
About
the

was

and
200
horse
to
Dusburgh
,
there
to
pay
Graue
Willems
men

The
speech
goes
that
they
are
now
all
in
the
seruice
of
the
States
.
The
workes
of
Buricke
are
now
almost
all

What

There
arriued
at
Amsterdam
,
lately
the
swift
Pinnace
called
the
Rauen.
And
in
Tezell
the
ship
Leyden
,
out
of
the
Fleet
of
Admirall
P●ter
.
Which
parted
from
him
the
22
of
the
last
monn
.
They
relate
that
he
wil
yet
a
while
crosse
the
sea
in
those
Flemish
lands
.
He
parted
from
S.
Marta
in
Januares
,
where
he
tooke
the
towne
and
the
Castle
,
which
was
kept
but
with
a
few
men
and
Ordnance
hee
tooke
the
towne
without
any
resistance
;
but
the
Castle
discharged
three
times
;
and
after
three
houres
siege
yeelded
.
After
the
Admirall
had
kept
the
same
eight
dayes
he
was
forced
to
leaue
the
same
through
want
of
victuals
,
and
by
reason
of
other
inconueniencies
.
The
City
was
ransomed
by
the
Inhabitants
for
5500
peeces
of
eight
for
feare
the
same
should
bee
burned
.
Yet
hee
tooke
with
him
Wine
Tobaco
Hydes
,
Campechewood
,
a
silver
Crosse
,
and
other
commodities
which
he
found
there
.
The
Inhabitants
had
conueyed
the
richest
goods
vp
into
the
Countrey
.
And
what
they
could
not
carry
with
them
they
burned
▪
One
Barke
which
the
Admirall
tooke
at
Ouana
,
he
burned
before
his
departure
from
Saint
Marta
.
In
all
this
turmoyle
,
he
lost
but
one
man
,
and
had
another
hurt
.
Graue
Henry
vanden
Berck
shall
haue
command
ouer
the
whole
Army
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
as
he
had
the
yeere
last
past
.
From
Paris
it
is
written
,
that
in
the
Army
of
the
Cardinall
Richelieu
,
there
is
a
very
great
mortality
.
It
is
presumed
,
that
thither
hath
secretly
been
sent
some
poisoned
bread
.
A
Baker
at
Suz●
was
burnt
therefore
for
hauing
a
h●nd
in
the
like
businesse
.
His
Maiesty
is
come
to
Dion
,
where
150
Citizens
and
one
Procter
,
did
submit
themselues
to
him
,
and
craued
pardon
.
And
their
pardon
was
granted
them
on
condition
,
that
the
Church
steeple
by
Saint
Nicholas
,
should
bee
quite
raised
to
the
ground
,
for
a
memoriall
of
their
Rebellion
.
The
29
of
Iune
last
past
,
we
brought
into
Flushin
three
prizes
richly
laden
with
Hides
,
Sugar
,
Tobaco
,
and
other
costly
commodities
belonging
to
some
particular
owners
.
The
eight
day
of
Iune
the
couragious
and
manly
Captaine
Bartholomeus
●●ctergen
,
set
saile
from
Dir
Gou
,
to
Conuoy
some
Merchants
ships
.
The
next
day
being
the
ninth
,
he
espied
before
day
foure
Dunkerkers
.
He
made
vp
towards
them
with
his
ships
,
and
stroke
his
maine
saile
and
made
in
amongst
them
;
he
fought
couragiously
with
the
Admirall
,
and
another
lusty
ship
,
and
they
shot
at
each
other
with
Canon
and
Musket
.
In
the
meane
time
the
other
two
Dunkerks
ran
in
amongst
the
Merchants
ships
and
tooke
two
of
them
,
which
by
reason
of
the
calme
,
the
Captaine
could
not
hinder
them
from
.
And
also
he
fighting
with
the
other
two
.
And
euery
Dunkerker
hauing
one
prize
,
were
constrained
to
let
them
goe
.
They
had
set
men
vpon
them
,
but
tooke
the
flight
,
one
of
them
sitting
fast
vpon
a
shelfe
.

8
Iuly
.
SIr
,
since
my
last
,
I
heard
nothing
from
you
concerning
newes
.
We
vnderstand
,
that
those
of
Wesel
,
hauing
a
proiect
vpon
a
certaine
place
neare
Rhynberk
,
did
m●rch
out
,
the
6
of
this
moneth
,
to
performe
their
enterprize
,
the
Count
Iohn
of
Nassaw
Generall
of
the
Emperours
Army
,
hauing
intelligence
of
it
,
went
also
out
,
and
hid
himselfe
with
great
troupes
,
and
when
ours
were
come
almost
to
the
appointed
place
,
the
said
Count
Iohn
with
his
troopes
did
beset
these
of
Wesel
.
Now
although
ours
saw
that
the
Enemy
were
stronger
then
they
yet
rather
then
to
be
kill'd
or
taken
prisoners
,
they
resolued
to
make
a
battell
against
them
,
which
Mounsiour
Isselsteyn
,
Commander
of
the
troopes
of
Wesel
did
condescend
,
and
did
skirmish
a
great
while
with
the
Enemy
,
caused
not
onely
them
to
retyre
,
but
kill'd
also
a
great
many
of
the
Enemies
officers
,
and
tooke
prisoner
,
amongst
others
,
the
said
Count
John
of
Nassaw
,
whom
they
deadly
wounded
,
brought
into
Wesel
.
The
particulars
of
which

we
haue
receiued

FRom

is
written

the
8
of
Iuly
,
as
followeth
.
That
on
the
6
of
the
same
moneth
,
the
Lord
Ritmaster
Isselsteyn
,
hauing
with
him
not
aboue
250
horsemen
,
and
about
one
thousand
of
foot
,
marched
out
of
Wesel
,
towards
a
Quarter
,
lying
ouer
the
Greft
,
which
was
beset
with
fixe
Companies
of
Souldiers
.
And
although
they
were
entrenched
,
ours
caused
them
to
retyre
backe
to
the
Sconce
of
Rossenroy
,
neare
to
that
Quarter
where
they
were
left
.
But
our
comming
neare
the
place
called
Locht-graue
,
they
met
with
Count
Iohn
of
Nassaw
,
hauing
with
him
6
troopes
of
horse
,
which
were
about
600
strong
,
and
about

.
Though
ours
were
but
strong
about
250
of
horse
,
1000
of
foot
,
and
therfore
not
seeing
any
reliefe
but
to
battell
with
them
,
or
to
be
kild
,
they
fell
to
it
manfully
,
and
by
Gods
grace
,
haue
gotten
the
victory
and
destroyed
their
troupes
,
with
the

The
Publisher
to
the
Reader
.
SInce
the
former
particulars
,
we
are
tru●●
informed
that
his
Maiesty
of
Sweden
was
met
in
●●e
Swound
,
with
two
Fleets
of
sixe
or
seuenscore
saile
,
and
that
he
is
since
landed
at
Stalesunt
with
a
Royal
Army
,
and
it
is
hoped
will
bee
the
restorer
of
the
liberties
of
the
poore
distressed
Princes
of
Germany
.
Of
what
consequence
it
will
be
to
the
French
King
and
his
designes
in
Jtaly
wise
and
inteligent
men
vnderstand
▪
This
yeare
1630
,
is
like
to
produce
more
action
in
Christendome
then
was
this
hundred
yeares
;
and
more
Newes
is
like
to
come
to
our
hands
▪
If
wee
.
may
receiue
better
encouragement
then
we
haue
done
,
for
we
haue
lost
by
our
publication
,
both
our
labour
and
a
great
deale
of
money
this
tenne
moneths
,
which
was
the
cause
we
published
scarce
one
a
moneth
;
It
being
most
mens
desire
to
heare
of
action
,
which
seldome
fals
out
in
the
Winter
.
We
presume
we
shall
now
fit
their
humour
,
with
action
enough
euery
weeke
if
their
purses
be
as
ready
to
pay
as
wee
shall
bee
ready
to
publish
,
the
greatest
talkers
of
Newes
(
as
the

walkers
)
are
the
poorest
buyers
