Septemb. 2. Numb 37. THE CONTINVATION of our forraine Avisoes from the 20. of the last Moneth to this present CONTAINING The confirmation of the Newes published the 20th of August concerning the severall Encounters betwixt the King of Sweden and Generall Tilly with the Three dayes welcome given him upon his project of Nayling the K. of Swedens Ordnance An Apologie of the King of Swedens formerly published in the Dutch not vnfit to give satisfaction to the world concerning his not releeving of the Citie Magdenburgh wherein you shall finde a briefe Relation of the Kings proceeding ever since hee began the Warre in Germanie The landing of the L. Generall the Marquis HAMILTON at Stralsunt with all his men sound and well LONDON Printed for Nath Butter and Nicholas Bourne 1631. To the Impartiall Reader IN our last Avisoes the 20. of August which was devided into 2. parts wee printed severall passages of the late good successe and Victories of the King of Sweden against Monsieur Tilly as wee received them from forreine parts which was published by us without addition or subtraction might have given some credit to the same and deserued a more favorable construction from the most malevolently affected yet from some it could receive no better approbation than that all was lyes and that the King of Sweden was kild or taken Prisoner and his Army utterly defeated as at this houre some shame not impudently to maintaine both heere and beyond sea at Antwerp Bruxels and else-where Wherefore wee doe now publish as wee have received them from better hands a confirmation of the Truth thereof with some circumstances not in our former and against which let the most barking curre open his mouth and say as formerly God grant him the multiplication of the like victories and good successe untill all his Enemies be vanquished and a generall Peace setled in all the parts of Germany Amen The Continuation of our Forreigne Newes From Stetin the last of July Stilo vet THe King of Sweden having defeated the Imperiall regiments I wrote of in my last retired againe and satisfied his Campe the best he could for he knew Tilly would not long tarry but come and visite him But before Tilly came on himselfe hee had sent certaine spies and sent word to some other he had in the Kings army to do him such seruice as he thought would assure him of the totall victory over the King They therefore having undertaken to naile the Ordnance of the Kings Campe at least towards that part where Tilly had especially commanded it and by that meanes make the same quite uselesse for the King when he should most have need of it one of those spies or traytors feeling some remorse in his conscience discovered the plot to the King and was cause that the other were apprehended Now Tilly hoping things were performed according to his pleasure beganne to discharge his great Ordnance against the Kings quarter and having spent aboue 60. shots yet he did no harme thereby except that one shot carried away the head from the shoulders of a gentleman that having serued Tilly had but a few dayes before beene taken prisoner and an arme from another souldier For the King having put things in order did endure all without making one shot in answere whereby Tilly was the more assured in his hope and resolution and therefore he sent on some of his troopes to attempt the Kings trenches where they found no great resistance which Tilly seeing he supposed he should quickly force and take all that quarter and to that end advanced and pressed on with his army when on a sudden the Kings ordnance playd at once amongst the same and with chaine shot and what other shot else was thought fittest to destruction made a great butchery of Tillies army And the King at the same instant sent forth Baudis with three regiments of Horse who set so rudely into Tillies Currasseers that he slew a great many and turned them to flight And it is supposed that if the King had seconded him with the rest of his army he would have defeated all his enemies and few would have escaped Thus Tilly having sped no better in this his reuenge then his Vantgard had done before him made his retreat which was not much unlike unto a running away leaving a number of his men prisoners and more slaine behinde him Vpon the 28. of Iuly my Lord Marquis Hamilton arrived with all his fleete joyfully at Stralsunt and all his men were in good health From thence he dispatched presently a gentleman to the King and we shall now daily heare of his marching further and of his exploits which God doe prosper Out of another Letter the 2. of August The plague bginnes to be very furious in Silesia but yet notwithstanding the Emperour hath given order to make an army there also against the King of Sweden which shall consist of 15000. men and the said army is already very strong and hath this great while besiedged the Swedes in Crossen but have as yet done them no harme The King of Sweden hath sent for his forces that were in Silesia to come to him and thereby it is supposed that the said King and Tilly who is somewhat retired back untill his army be reinforced againe will not part before they give one another a bloody battell And at the Citty of Hall all the water of the ditches about the towne was of late turned all into blood and hath beene seene by many hundred men of good sort who doe averre the same Besides this on the last day of Iuly last in the afternoone there happened in these Countries an exceeding great storme and especially along the Elbe and about Magdenburgh where it was so great that the violence of the wind had certainly carried both Tilly himselfe with his tent and pavillion standing not very farre from Werben away into the Elbe had he not beene rescued and saved by his attendants and Souldiers From Dessaw the 9. of August Tilly being much displeased at the losse of the Cavalry which were defeated by the King of Sweden on the 27th of Iuly did breath nothing but revenge against Sweden and therefore having advanceed with his maine army towards the King of Sweden he had severall enterprises and gave many onsets and assaults against the Kings Campe which was well fortified and provided as that King is accustomed to doe wheresoever he doth encampe himselfe Tilly seeing he could not doe any great matter against him by force did vse also some other plots to bereave the King of the use of his ordnance Whereby the King did mightily annoy him and having some secret inteligence with some souldiers that served the King he corrupted them to naile the said ordnance against St. Iames day which day Tilly intended to assault the Kings Campe. But one of those souldiers or Traytors discovered the matter unto the King who keeping it secret gave order for that dayes worke
