Some letters from Vienna relate , that the Emperors army beginneth againe to increase and grow stronger , and that by the Land Townes is much soli●●ted , for a truce or cellation of Armes , that at the other side Budiani with his men did yet continue to doe much spoyle had already made himselfe Master of D●oskere● vnder Newsradt , Menling , Entensv●●y , and almost of that whole Country , ransacking 〈◊〉 the very gates of Vienna , where it is feared that he shall take in his power the Riuer of Douaw , and thereby shut vp the passage both by land and water , whereby the Imperiall army might come to indure great distresse .

The Duke of Bauaria hath not onely vpper Austria in pawne , but hath also hath taken the Salthandel in vpper Austria into his possession .

The Marquis of Iagensdorp , is entred in Morania , and there kéepeth house very disorderly .

The Elector●ll Saxonians , haue besieged Glatz in Silesia : which Citty as it is written is well prouided with men and munition .

The Marquis hath menaced those of Breslaw very rigorously , because they let the Saxonians haue of their munition .

There was newes that the King of Polonia was broken vp to withstand the Turke , who with 300. thousand men was come to the frontiers of his Land .

Bethlem Gabor hath not béene séene in his army this 14. dayes , but hath béene at Ofen , where some thousands of Turkes are arriued , whome he bringeth to his Leager .

The Marquis of Iagersdorp with his Army , and also the Carle of Thurne , who commandeth ouer the Germans , are gone to Morauia , where hée hath aloeady burn'd to the ground aboue 12. Villages and Boroughs , and hath caused some hundreths of persons to be slaine , and put to death .

The Commander Diepenbach is yesterday come hither with the Imperiall Field-campe vnder Presburgh , and our Army shall breake vp from thence and is to goe to the Marckfelt ouer a Shipbridge ( which is layd ouer the riuer at Thoben ) towards Morauia to binder the bad intention of Iagersdorp because that he with Mansfield is thought to haue a pernicious enterprise in hand against the Imperiall Maiesty .

The Budiani hath as yet strongly continued with burning and ransacking in Austria and Stiria , and now their commeth newes that within 8. dayes time he hath burnt to the ground obout 80. Towns and Villages , and carryed away & put to death many thousands of soules .

The reconciliation of the Palatine with the Emperors Maiesty is héere in good termes , because that his Maiesty hath written to all the Electors , to heare and vnderstand their aduice , they are all inclined to pardon , so that it is hoped that within a short time a Cessation of armes shall be effected .

Moreouer the Plague beginneth héere much to increase , and besides all things are héere very déere , one pound of Flesh , that héere before hath cost 14. pence , is now sold for 5. Cruytsers , & many wonderfull fokens & visions are dayly séen in the Element .

Some few dayes agoe , there is carried againe an other great Piece of Canon out of this Citty store-house to Tabor , and although those of Tabor perceiue the resolute consiancy of the besiegers , and that dayly more and more men resort to them , for all that they are the more scornefull , and the more make a scoffing of it , because that they haue receiued comfort from Mansfield of their onset by him at the first . And newes commeth from Silessa , that the Soldiers of that Country haue taken the Citty of Glatz by composition , but what the conditions are is as yet vnknowne .

We had héere aduice yesterday that the Earle of Mansfield was agréed with the Duke of Bauaria , namely that he should pay to him the said Earle 300 thousand Florins , but to his Soldiers 3. monthes wages , and whosoeuer would be content to serue againe , that he should goe to Hungaria also to voyde and pull downe all the Sconces and fortresses about the Palatinate , likewise the said Duke should procure pardon for Mansfield by the Emperors Maiesty , vpon condition that all his life time he should not serue nor beare Armes against the house of Austria , Bauaria , nor Spaine , and that in recompence thereof hée should be made an Earle of the Empire , with other conditions more , whereupon he with his whole army is retired , taking his iourney towards Ambergh .

The Spaniards haue begun the 26. hereof to shoote vpon the Towne of Franckendal , but because that those within defended themselues valiantly , they the last night retired from thence , and went to Keysers Lautexen , what their they shal effect we shall heare . At this instant great burning hath béene séene in diuere places about the same territories .

Wée are héere in these Countries in a miserable state , because that the Earle of Mansfield will not accept the agréement with the Duke of Bauaria , also because the said Mansfield hath vnderstood , that the Magistrates at Ambergh with the Nobility and City , haue yéelded themselues to the deuotion of the Duke of Bauaria , the said Earle is marched forward , hath spoyled , ransacked and burnt , the faire Market towne Hantpach , & Slicht , and killed many poore subiects , hath also besieged Vilseek , & now he swarmeth with the most part of his Horsemen round about Ambergh , those of the Citty haue shut their Gates , refusing to let him come in , wherefore the Earle hath sworne , that within two dayes he would enter the Towne , which is feared shall not be without bloodshed . And there is such flying , and retiring in all the Country that it cannot be written , In the meane time the Bauarians haue taken Camb , where he lost 800 men . Neuenkirk , Waltmunchen , Prug , Blegensteyn , Kemer , Grasermeer , Waldeck , and other places , where he caused the Inhabitants to doe him homage , likewise he hath summoned Newenmarckt , but Mansfield hath put garrisons therein .

This day in the forenoone is the Earle of Mansfield arriued heere at Newenmarckt , with 6. Companies of Horse , the Souldiers lye héere and there dispersed , what they intend on both sides to doe , is not yet knowne .

The 30. of September the Spaniards tooke in Lamsheym , our Horsmen are all gone to their quarters at Seckenheym , Neckerhausen , and Edingen , they distrust to be able to resist the Spanish forces , they are not strong enough both on Foot and Horsemen . To day a 1000. Soldiers are trayned at Neckerhausen , The Spaniards keepe themselues at Franckendal , it is thought that they will march to Newstat .

The 30. of September , she horsemen of Ouertrout , haue ransacked the suburbes of Weinheim , they will likewise ransacke the Towne it selfe , because that they haue yéelded themselues to the Spaniards .

At Heydelburgh they make before Newenheym a land partition , and a Bulwarke , whereupon great pieces of Ordenance may be planted . On the other side they haue taken downe the tower called Trots Keyser , and filled it with earth , and péeces of Canon shall be set vpon it .

Before Franckendal 600. Spanish soldiers were slaine in one assault , it is thought they will retire from thence .

Thrée dayes past , those of Gulicke being 7000. men strong , sallyed out with Thomas Viller his horsmen , & tooke in a Sconce by Lintsenich on this side of the Roer , wherein some of the Spanish souldiers were slaine , and so with their Lieutenant were taken prisoners and brought into Gulicke , who the next day were all released againe , the said Leiutenant remaining surety for their ransome .

These of Gulick haue made a Sconce on the Roerbridge , through which they can fall out , they haue also these dayes past shot furiously out of it , to hinder the Spaniards from making their fortifications , whereouer some were killed . In the meane time the gates of Gulick stand yet open , and the Cattle goeth yet out to pasture , and the women and Children of the Soldiers in Gulick , are yet suffered to come in the towne , And thus the Towne and fortresses is yet well prouided of all necessaries .

From France is the Death of Duke of Mayne confirmed , being besides him many Noble and Gentlemen slaine , with some odde hundreths of soldiers . And moreouer the contagious disease is great in the Kings leager , if hée will their continue it is much doubted of . It is likewise reported that the Duke of Rohan is néere , with some thousands of men ready and néere to reléeue the siege from Montaubon .

The Duke of Rohan hath with him 20000. men , and hath sent word to the King , that he will not come to any agréement , before all the affaires of France be first pacified , and by fault thereof , that he will resist him to the vttermost , although he should be forced to auoyde the Kingdome .

We heare from Rees , that they worke yet hard on the new Forts ouer the Rhine , that right ouer the Town of Emmerick another Fort should he made , otherwise no mutation of things was done , nor also of the Spanish side , it séemeth that by reason of the long raining weather at this time , no further enterprises shall be vnder taken .
