YEsterday Cardinall Bellarmine died , whose body was carried into the Iesuites Church , and his Exequies this day performed by the Cardinals : hee is much lamented in respect of his great vertue and learning .

The Quéene of Spaine is yet sicke . The Cardinall of Lerma was condemned to be tortured , and 1000. péeces of gold of 4 crownes the peece , taken from him .

There are 12000. Nepolitaines sent to Valtolina , and the Switzers and Grisons haue taken the new fortes , and the towne of Wormin .

The money that the King of Spaine sent to the Emperour , is conuoyed thither by cerlaine Spanish Souldiers .

The Cardinall of Delphin and the Marquis of Cobren , French Ambassadours , are come hither , whose request vnts this Signiory is , to permit the Iesuites to reside here .

The Turke with all his army marcheth toward Lembergh in Russia , and the Muscouites begin to inuade Poland : whereupon a generall muster is made throughout Poland , and it is said that the young Prince of Poland is gone into the field with an army of 100000. men .

Bethlem Gabor and the Marquis of Iagerensdorp with their armie being gone from Tirnaw , & past ouer wittenbergh towards the Merke , and there haue taken in two or thrée places . Therefore our army in the Schut also is as this day to breake vp , and is to march vnder Heimburgh , ouer the riuer of Donaw , about the Marke towards Morig and Godingh , where the treaty of peace shall bée handled . There are Ambassadours come hither from Budiant to séeke for peace , whose men daily doe great mischiefe behind Newstadt , and haue burnt and done great hurt by killing and leading captiues away diuers poore people euen to Semmeringh hard by Stiermarke , but for that certaine aduice is come hither , that the agréement with Mansfield is sully made , the Hungarians will easily be brought into subiection , either against their wils , or be compelled thereunto by a hard condition of peace . Mansfield is legitimated , the bane published against him , disanulled , and 400000. Floring payd him . The execution against the vpper Palatinate procéedeth forward

For that at this present , for certaine dayes together , it hath béene very quiet and peaceable here about this towne , and that our Souldiers with great sacks haue gone out into the Vine hils , the Townesmen and other Merchants of the wines in the country were constrained , notwithstanding that the wines are not yet ripe , to cut them downe before the time . The plague and great dearth begins here also to encrease .

Yesterday we had newes that Bethlem Gabors forces march towards Morauia , and haue taken Stragnitz , Stagnitz , and another towne ; and Colonell van Walstein , that was left there to defend the passage is ouercome , and is forced to retire , and that Budiani with his forces of Hungarians and Turkes , is gone to Odenburgh , which towne he threatneth to assayle .

That the Marquis of Iagherensdorp hath written vnto the Archduke Carel , and desired that hée would be a meanes to procure peace to be made within thrée wéekes , or else that the Turke hath determined to ayd Bethlem Gabor with 50000. men , and that 12000. Turkes lye ready at Canisa ●aying onely for commission : notwithstanding , newes comes this day , that the Marquis of Iagerensdorp with 18000. men is againe on the way to Nahot in Silesia , to whom a great number of Wallouns in the Prouince of Olmitz and other country people , with many masterlesse Souldiers , are ioyned , and that he kils all that he méets withall that will not yéeld vnto him .

There is newes also this day come from Odenburgh , that about 600. of the Emperours souldiers that went out for forrage to Niewsiedel on the Sea , were met with by the Hungarians , and all slaine & put to the sword , onely 50. that escaped .

For that the plague still encreaseth in Rauensburgh , the Lords formerly named , are ridden to Nichelsburgh in Morauia , where the Cardinall of Dieterichstein lieth , to begin the treaty of peace with the Hungarians , and this day the Archduke Carel is gone from hence to News in his bishopricke .

Bethlem Gabor with 15000. men marcheth ouer Wittenbergh to the Marquis of Iagerensdorp , whereupon great hast is made of the ship bride at Heimburgh , that the Emperors army may goe auer , and make resistance against Bethlem Gabor , and the Budiani , who still continue burning and wasting the country .

There are great numbers of red mice here in this country , that dee great hurt to the Corne on the Land and in the barne .

From Wallachia we heare that the Turke and our army lye but a mile one from the other , and that the Turke is 400000 & our army but 100000. strong , and yet feare him not , and the King of Poland himselfe in person , with all the Lords and Gentlemen of the Country of Podolia is gone by a backe way to the other armie in Wallachia , so that spéedily we hope for a victory .

The Dutch souldiers die here in great numbers by reason of the ayre hereabouts .

The 3. common confederate cantons are assembled together at Chur , with whom also the Treasurer of France hath béene , and there séeke to confirme their confederacy , notwithstanding that the French Treasurer earnestly desired them first to heare the Spanish Articles , but notwithstanding they procéeded therein , and concluded that all those that desired to ayd and defend their natine country and to maintaine their priuiledges , they should foyne with them , and thereupon 12. comunalities are ioyned with them , and it was presently concluded , that forthwith , and with all their power and forces they should ioyne together to inuade the enemy , as they already haue begun , to fortifie themselues , and daily more forces ioyne with them .

It is certified , that for that certaine thousand Engedieners are gone to that towne . Guffier the French Ambassador went from thence in great hast , fearing to be taken prisoner .

We haue a great number of men here , but while the Generall , the Earle of Mansfied is here , 〈◊〉 are secure enough , but God knowes what will bee done when he goes hence .

Here in this Country all is spolyed , for Mansfields army with his ordinance is come hither , where they due much hurt , and for that all the people of 40. villages , with their wiues and children , are fled and gone away , the Souldiers thresh the corne and spoile all . It is said that the Duke of Bauaria with his army comes hitherward , in the meane time the treaty continues , and for that the Earle of Mansfield hath his Deputies with the Duke of Bauariaes Deputies at Cam , there are some Deputies there for the Church Ministers of the Palatinate , but because the treaty séemes not to proceed , we know not whither the Earle of Mansfield will goe with his army .

The Souldiers that lay in Cam , complaine that promise being made vnto them , that they should goe fréely away with bagge and baggage , as they went forth the Barvarian Carrabines fell vpon them , and tooke all that they had from them , and slew the Skammersdorp Musquetiers , that withstood them .

We heare from Paris , that a great tumult hath happened therein , for that diuers fauourites of the Duke de Mayens that was kild before Montaubon being much griened for the death of that great man , with a great number of Sudents and other common people , went to Charenton , to be reuenged for the same vpon those of the religion , and there met together as they were comming bark , and that if it had not bin for the Duke of Monbason gouernour of Paris , and other Officers of Iustice that hindred them , there would haue béene a great murther done , but they forcibly kept them backe , yet there was about 8. persons slaine on both sides , and 8. taken prisoners : and yet when they were parted , the people ranne to Charenton , and there burnt the Church and the Library . On Monday after there happened another quarrell betweene a Combe-maker and his sonne , whereby some men were slaine , whereupon the Magistrates fearing that if such things fell out , there would be a generall vprore in the towne , commanding the Burgers to look well vnto their seuerall wards , which being done , the trouble ceased . On Tuesday there were two hangd , that were some of the beginners thereof , and thereupon a Proclamation was made , that no man should molest those of the religion , as you may reade in the said Proclamation .

From the Prince of Oranges campe , it is written , that there is no great matter done on either side as yet , but that our men haue taken some of the enemis horses , which by sound of Drum were with their bridles and sadles sold good cheape , and that the Prince of Orange with diuers Lords , was gone downe the Rhine to Emerick , and there right ouer against the towne vpon the Véer , by certaine Engeniers hath caused a sconse or fort to be begun , greater then that which is made ouer against Rées , which already is very forward .

There are some Lords of Colen come hither into our army , vnto the Prince , what their intent is we know not , it is thought they would haue their Nowtraletie continued , and also about some actions touching Papenmutz , which troubles them somewhat .
