FRom Ferrara , wee are certified that not long since , the Riuer of Adie , ouer flowed the bankes , and not only there , but in the land of Verona , drowned 18. Villages , for which cause Cardinall Serra . Legat resident in Ferrara , hath taken good order , and specially hath staid a Ship with Torne , in the Hauen of Gero , to supply the said Prouince therewith .

From Naples they write , that vpon the 21. of August , Philibert Prince of Sauoy arriued there with 22. Gallies , and was honorably receiued therein by the Vice-Roy , and Gentlemen of the Towne , and lodged in the Castle , that Marquesse Centrerione , a Genouesian , was also come thither with 2. Gallies , to meete the Prince : where being in the Castle of Ouo , hee had a quarrell with 2. Spanish souldiers , to whem he gaue two blowes on the eare , for the which he was committed to Prison , and by the Prince presently condemned to dye , but by the Vice-Roy and the Marques De S. Croce his life was begged , but yet condemned to be eight yeeres Prisoner , to pay 10. thousand Crownes for a fine , and his 2. Gallies to serue 2. yéeres in the Spanish Army , at his own cost and charges .

From Messina , we hears that betweene the sauldiers in the Tuscane and Neopolitane Gallies there rose a great controuersie , whereby they fought together , and many staine on both sides , but at last by the Generall , Presennet they were appeased .

FRom Constantinople it is written , that there is both a great plague and dearth in that City , that in the black Sea , the Turkes Gallies had taken 6. Ships with Cossockers , and made them all slaues , among them one was a Turke , that hath reuealed many secrets touching the Polish Army . That the great Turke hath payd his Souldiers 3. millions of Gold : That the Vaywodo of Walachia is with the Turke , and that Radul Vaywode of Moldauia , is strangled by the Turkes commandement , being charged to haue had intelligence with the King of Polonia .

At Genua there is a Ship arriued , with 52 Chests of siluer , & there are 3. more dayly expected to come thether .

From Milan , it is certified that there is 54. thousand crownes , sent from thence to Valtolina , to pay the souldiers , and for that the Grisons since their last enterprise out of Cleue , haue attempted nothing else . The rest of the Marshall Amunitian is stayed . From Spaine it is certified by Augustino Centrerione , and Francis Serra , there is 300. thousand crownes , assigned to be paid for the Netherlands .

MOunsier Montallon , the French Ambassadour , perceiuing that the confederated quarters would no longer be delayed of , but would with 10. thousand men march vnto Valtolina to ayd their confederates , he protested against them , and told them that if they would take that enterprise in hand without the consent of his king , it would be cause of great hurt and trouble vnto them , but notwithstanding , séeing that the French king did not help them , nor yet would suffer them to be helpe , the countrey people were so much incenced , that they said , that seeing the French King persecuted those of the Religion in his owne Country , he was no better to bee trusted then the Spaniards , end that the Spanish enmyty was much more benefit vnto them then the French ; and therefore there was 1000. men sent out of Boetgow , and 1000. men out of the Bunter , which went part into Munster , and some into Valtolina Valley , and they intend by all the meanes they can vse to bring these countries againe vnder their obedience , and there is a principall Couent Lord come thether from Valtolina , who saith , that this warre is not religious , but a country warre , and that the Spaniards , vnder the pretence of making peace , by the French ayd would bring the confederate townes & parts vnder his yoke : As also that the oppressions done by the Spaniards , vnto those of Valtolina are so great , as they are insupportable , and therefore that hee came away , and that the Confederaies had neede to looke well vnto themselues , as hauing Committies for them , that meane them little good . They intend dayly to set vpon the enemy , therfore Leopaldus forces that are not payd , are discontented , and for that in Milain , there is 2. millions of gold come , there must be something done , but yet the confederated frontiers are well fortified with Garrisons , where the first exploit must bee done : for the country people are all fully agreed , with body , liues and goods , to ioyne together , and haue sworne no longer to refraine from armes , and that if their neighbours will not willingly let them haue prouant and other things , they will haue it by force .

EIght dayes past the Hungarians thought suddenly to haue falne vpon our force in Schut , but were preuented , and were made to retire with losse of 500. of their men , and many taken ; and on the other side , the Hungarians haue taken diuers of our Wagons , that went out for Forrage , and for that all our forces now lye by Presburge , and in Shut . The Budianer Hungarians and Turkes come againe vpon vs , and runne in euery place , and once againe haue burnt 20. Villages , and still goe forward , hauing carried away 2000. people , great and small , prisoners with them , besides great store of Cattle , and other things without any hinderance . What pitty is it in this City , wherein there are so many horse & footemen reaready armed , & send no men out to rescue them , wherby many poore might be relieued , in respect that the Hungarians are but meane people , and not well armed , and yet are not resisted , it is strangely discourst on heere : the hurt they haue done wil not be repaired with the valew of 100 thousand Florens , therefore the common people are desperate , and neither spare friend nor foe , so also 2. dayes since Bethlem Gabors Hungarians haue made a road into Marauia , and spoyled all the Country , therefore Colonell Walstein with his forces hath left the Marckt , and is forced to goe to Niclaesburge : to conclude , they haue shut vp the passages .

In the meane time there is a treaty of peace in Hand-holden , at Rauensburge , in the Marckt and Committies , to that end on both fides come thether . The English Ambassador hath his dispatch of the Emperour , and hath had a great reward , but is referred to be at the Electorall meeting . The Duke of Saxen in the Emperours name is to be president for him at that meeting , and the Arch Duke Charles rides thether : the Arch Duke Leopoldus is dayly expected here . The Budianers lie 20. thousand strong by New sidler Sea , his greatest forces are Turkes , he hath a strange countenance , all Coure and other places are burned , and cannot be built vp againe .

THe Silecian forces are now all gone towards the Frontiers of Morauia , and for that the Saxon forces haue begun to besiedge Glats , yesterday , and the day before all the Wagoners and Carmen are staid , to carry Ordnance and Munition out of this towne thether , by this meanes the Marquesse with his Hungarian & Turkish ayd will be drawne hether .

DRummes are dayly sounded to take vp a regiment of Souldiers , to serue vnder the Colonels Latschaden and Mosburke . They shall muster at Laudenburge , or Neckethausten , and Souldiers are come the ther already .

Yesterday an English Ambassador came hether from Creutsnach , through the Bergstrate , to goe to Vianna , and went through the Spanish army , with 2. cornets of Horsemen , ouer the Ship bridge at Stein , to the Palsgraues army .

Don Cordoua , intends to hold his Winter leaguer betwéene Stein and Hedleberg , in the Bergstrate . The Earle of Douerlach hath sent some Souldiers into the Palatine league , and although there was an intent that there should be some forces laid about Strasburge , wherby the Palatine could not come vpward : at a meeting holden at Hagenaw it was agreeed , that euery place should defend their passages as well as they could .

WEe vnderstand the Earle of Mansfield is broken vp with all his forces , and gone into Bauaria , to set vpon the Bauarian army that lies before Cam , and hath left 4. companies of the country people in the Scouts , as also Mounsier Rilly , and many more .

Aduice comes now , that the Duke of Bauaria hath ginen two assaults to Cam , with the losse of 400. of his men . The Garrison in the Towne hold out brauely , but it is sayd , that the Duke ( with losse of many men on both sides ) should haue taken it . The Lantgraue is brought Prisoner hether , and this day is carried to Hoburgh .

NEwes comming hether , that by a Bauarian Post , that certaine thousand Bauarian Souldiers were come to the Langraue of Leichtenburg , to lye in prefermen , Wareberg and Schindthutten , to shut the passage that way from Mansfield . The said Earle of Mansfield entred vp on Warebergh and Schindthutten , and hath ransackt them , and for that , the Bauarian Souldiers got through Scauandorf to Prefennet , the Earle of Mansfield vpon Sunday , sent Colonell Linstaw with 4000. foote and horsemen , and some great Peeces to Prefennet , & for that they would not issue out to fight , yesterday with his great Ordnance & Fire-workes , he ouercame them . The Lantgraue himselfe being taken , was kept Prisoner in his Castle : and for that is certified for truth , that the Duke of Bauaria hath broken vp his Campe before Stranbingen , and with all his forces is gone backe to Cain , and hath taken Artischwang , 2. miles scom thence , but the Earle of Mansfield hath not onely sent 4. companies of footemen to Cam , but determineth also to breake vp his Campe and goe thether , in the meane time leauing the Sconses strongly Garrisoned , and dayly hée expects great store of horse and footemen to come to him , vnder the command of the young Duke of Brumswicke , and a Duke of Saxon. Mounsier Tilly also will breake vp . It stands but hardly heere with the vpper Palatinate , ● for that the Subiects thereof , by reasons they are dayly so much pild and pold , and were much oppressed by the Earle of Mansfields Souldiers , specially his Horsemen , they are much discontented , and are of opinion that they shall bée better protected and defended , or at least receiue lesse damage then they doe .

OVr Sea army that went out fiue Moueths past , from these Prouinces , is come home againe , and the Vice Admirall is already landed héere .

Heere there are 2. Ships laden with Prouant and Victualls , which with the first are to goe to the King of Swethens army before Riga .

The Palsgraue is yet at Emmericke , and often visiteth the Prince of Orange . The horse and footemen lye yet about the Villages betwéen Rees and Emmerich , it is said that by reason of the continuall Raine that hath fallen , the Country all ouer is full of Water , whereby the Wagons cannot , and it is feared that Spinola will take and fortifie Goth , Calcar , and Cleue , and other places , in the meane time , the Country on both sides of the Rhine is spoyled .

THe States of Holland dayly come hether to assemble together , touching their Marshall affaires , and there shall be a great summe of mony , more leuied .

For that the Spaniards had some enterprise in hand , touching Sluce , there are two great Ships of warre , appoynted to goe thether , to kéepe the hauen there .

DOn Cordoua approached néere to the Palatine Army , and they haue both made shew to bee ready to encounter , but Generall Veer , finding himselfe to be too weake , retyred towards Manheim , in the meane time the Lord Digby is dayly expected heere .

And out of Bergstrate it is certified , vpon the 25. of this Moneth , that the last night the Spaniards haue taken Bentheim , Happenzeim , the Castle of Starbenburge , and all Bergstraet .

FRom Denmarke out of the Sound , it is said that there were 4000. Souldiers come ther out of England , to goe to serue the King of Poland , but the King would not suffer them to passe , it is also aduised , that the King of Swethland hath wonne the Towne of Riga in Léefland .

From Rées and Emmericke it is written , that the Prince of Orange had laid downe his Ship bridge at Griet , on the which the 30. of September , a great number of Ritters and Wagons went ouer the Rhin to Cleueland side , to what end it is not knowne , but only that they goe for forrage .

In the meane time , there are many Souldiers taken vp which are to go with the yong Duke of Brunswicke vpwards into Germaine to the Palatinate .

THe Spaniards are yet not farre from Ardenburge , Isendich and Cadsant , with diuers Instruments for Warre . There are soute Companies sent from Middleburgh , and two from Flushing to Sluce , and they in Isendich , haue cut through certaine ditches , and made the Land full of water , whereby men cannot come at them .

Yesterday there came a Ship hether , from Cape Verde laden with Elephants teeth , and other wares , and thrée Ships from Greeneland reasonably well laden .
