Waggons with Munition But those Imperiall Souldiers having lived at ease without any discipline are very unwilling to march where they shall be no longer commanders over the poore people and therefore they runne away where they can escape The Commanders and Officers themselves seeme to have no great pleasure to goe where they will bee forced to use rather their Weapons against the Enemy than hitherto they have done amongst those that could not withstand I cannot expresse in words how rigorously it is proceeded against those Nobles and Gentlemen of Franconia who either themselves or by some friends brothers or fathers have in time past served against the House of Austria Their Lands houses and goods being daily taken from them by such as come eyther with Commission or Letters of the Emperour that bestowed the same on them So that whole Families their wives and children are driven out to seeke where to live being not suffered to take the least thing with them The Lord comfort them and all his distressed people Extract of a Letter from Francfort the 12. of February THere is as yet no certainty whether or no the Countries of Gulick and Berghen shall be freed from the Troopes that lye there enquartered The Paltsgrave of Newburgh is still at Bruxels solliciting the Archdutchesse to give order for withdrawing the Spanish and Imperiall forces out of those Countries But Count Iohn of Nassaw who commands the Imperialists there the same that was so long prisoner at Wesell continueth in his resolution not to march with his forces from thence unlesse he receive expresse Commandment from the Emperour Meane while the Countries suffer pitifully and are altogether ruinated The thirteene Cantons of Switzerland have beene assembled at Baden where they have beene a good while busied to advise how to make an agreement betwixt those of Zurick and the Bishop of Costance and the Abbot of S. Gall who both doe demand the restitution of some Ecclesiasticall goods and Churches from those of Zurick and Berne But all that consultation came to nothing The Protestants there have resolved and united themselves so that they will give no way to the pretences of those Romanists notwithstanding the injuries and scornfull words which daily the Papists Priests vtter both publikely and privately and not without threatnings against them The Protestant Princes and States which remaine yet breathing in Germany are now together at Leipsick at which Towne the Elector of Saxen arrived on the 4. of February last with a Trayne consisting of 700. horses And on the same day there arrived also in person the Elector of Brandenburg accompanied with 250. horses The Duke of Deuxponts a Prince Palatine that in time past was Administrator at Heydelberg being diverted by other occasions from comming himselfe hath given his power and Commission to the Landgrave of Hessen All the Protestant Imperiall Cities have sent their Deputies thither and the Circle of Suevia likewise as also the Nobility of Franconia The two Dukes of Meckelburg notwithstanding that they are proscribed by the Emperour and that the Duke of Friedland hath long since taken their Countrey having beene invited thither by the Elector of Saxen are also there So that now there is great expectation every where what will be by them resolved and concluded Extract out of another Letter of the 15. of February THe King of Sweden past on the 4. of February stilo novo over the Bridge at Stett●n with an Army consisting of about sixteene thousand men horse and foot and entred into the Dukedome of Meckelburg where as we receive good information he hath taken many places of consequence especially Matchin and is come before Gustrow which was the Princely seat of the Dukes of Meckelburg and hath since the taking of the said Country by Walstein otherwise Duke of Friedland to whom the Emperour gave that whole Dukedome beene by him both much fortified and much adorned by many excellent Artificers expressely sent thither as Painters Gardners Architects c.

Nicholas Bourne 1631. THE CONTINVATION OF our Weekely Newes From Venice the 24. of May. 1631. COncerning the Peace now there is no farther question made since there are no more forces leavied And besides this the Governour of Mylan hath faithfully promised within the space of one Moneth to establish a Generall reformation The Messenger which is returned from his Emperial Maj. Certifie that notwithstanding his Maj. did not well like and approve of the agreement made at Cherasco concerning the Switzers at Suza and Avigliano Neverthelesse he is now willing to stand to and ratifie the same to the end that Jtalie might subsist in Peace and tranquility and all these broyles and distractions may be allayed and have a quiet end And furthermore that remainder of those Spanish forces in Jtalie may be brought together and march toward the lower-Palatinate there to be enquartered For all the Forces out of those parts are departed and are at this present employed some of them against the King of Sweden and the rest are marched into the Netherlands and are employed against the States From Overlandt the 26. of May. The troupes of Souldiers which late came out of Italy remaine yet in full essence and are dayly strengthened and augmented It seemes that whereas formerly the resolution was to bring them downe toward the Donon the same no● is altered those Forces shall be employed against the League contracted by the Protestant Princes and Peeres at Leypsich Especially for the defence of the smaller Townes as Memming and the like Which at this present are in great danger and extreamly threatned if so be they would not yeeld themselves to that League and receive some of the Protestant forces that then they shall presently be attached Hereupon the Imperialists doe not onely expect the rest of their forces but also certaine thousands more of Spanish and Italians to ayd and assist them Wherefore men in these parts are much troubled and perplexed and take great care how to dispose of all their troupes and where they shall become and how they shall be billetted and enquartered His Maj. the Emperour hath forewarned us in these parts not onely to provide for the enquartering of those Spanish and Italian Forces which are to come and are now upon the march but also to find quarter for 25000. other forces which shall bee newly raised From Vlm the 25 of May. The Imperiall Forces from Jtalie being 8000. strong are yet hereabouts they enforme us that certaine thousands more Spanish Forces are shortly to follow them They intend to blocke up Memmimgen and will againe reduce the same under contribution and bring it under the Emperours Iurisdiction And for the ensuring of the same they will lay in some Troupes for Garrison there And doubtlesse as those of Memmimgen speed we must look for the same and not to fare better than our neighbours Wherefore we of this Citie the better to defend guard our selves we have caused all the trees to be hewen downe which stood before the Helbergate of this Citie The Duke of Wirtenbergh with his forces lyes upon the frontiers From Berlyn the 27. of May. The foote Forces of the King of Sweden at this present are at Posedan And his Cavallerie is betweene the Dessaw Sconce and Posedan It seemes as we by all circumstances can gather and conjecture that his Majesty intends not to enquarter long in these parts But doe rather thinke that hee will undertake some siedge or other For his Majesty to that end hath caused many boards and other necessaries to be shipped And forth of every Regiment he hath taken 400. horse for to convey the Ordnance munition and other Sconce provision The Lord Feeld-Marshall conducts an Army of 1000. men which he doth dayly enforce and augment and levies very strongly to that end The Forces which were in Pomerania are now on the march From Franfort Oder the 29. of May. All things here God be praised are in good being and great and vigilant care is taken for this Citie great paines dayly is taken about the fortifications of the same Within this Weeke were brought into this Citie so many horses of the Imperialists as made up 5. Companies compleat These horses were taken grafing neare unto great Glogan The Queenes Majesty of Sweden sent hither lately two Camels richly Laden to his Maj. with enformation that God willing shee doth intend shortly to arrive at Wolgast or at Straelzondt her selfe in person Yesterday here marched by 3. Regiments toward Crossend and farther into Silesia About Statyn great forces are raised and the King of sweden-Sweden-causes an Army to be assembled to assault the Imperialists which are at Melchim There are dayly and hourely expected 2000. men from Colbergh to march hither and also 6000. from Rugen When these shall be arrived his Maj. resolves with violence vehemently to assault Gripswolde and afterward to conduct an Army into Mechelenbergh From Leypsich the 31. of May. The Prince Elector of Saxony as also the Marq. of Brandenbrugh with their Dukedomes all their adherents and Confederates have yeelded and betaken themselves freely unto the defence protection of his Maj. of Sweden The passage of Wirtenbergh is now also granted unto his Maj. At this present here at Leipscich are Embassadors of the King of England the King of Sweden the Prince Elector of Saxonie and of the Marquis of Brandenburgh And certaine it is that throughout the whole Dukedome of Saxonie the Drum beates and forces levied openly for his Majestie of Sweden The Merchants here must contribute to his Princely Excellence of Saxony 6000. and the rest of the Cittizens of Leipsich 2000. Florins and besides this sum a generall contribution will be raised throughout the whole Dukedome Magd●nburgh by the reason of the late miserable and hideous disaster happened there is reduced to an heape of stones being qiute and utterly ruinated There are not left standing above 60. or 70. houses about the Walles and here and there an house at the corner of a Street His Majestie of Sweden causes a Ship-Bridge to be layd over the River of Elve at Anger●●●●t From Leypsich the first of June Last Thursday the Prince Elector of Saxony departed hence to Torgau to muster the new levied forces there which are certaine thousands strong he will returne from thence hither againe He hath more Patents to levie other forces both horse and foote The report here is very strong that the Generall Tilly hath sent a Legate to our Prince Elector to acquaint him that very shortly he doth intend to come himselfe in person to conferre with his Princely Excellence declaring farther that he had obtained good meanes for the contracting of a Peace which then he would propound unto him And that he had full authoritie and Commission from his Emp.
