Wagons with munition The Commander Sparrenter hath taken Dunckenspiel and is now ayming at Ellwang the Boores thereabout come very strong together but the Bavarians doubtlesse will not long keepe that City From Frey●ingen the 16. of May.

Since our Gouernour here hath brought the whole Circle of Swaben vnder the King of Swedens contribution he went into the Dukedome of Wirtemberg where he receiued from the Administrator 2000. land soldiers During his absence frō hence we receiued newes that diuers of the Catholicks in this Circle especially some Abbots other Churchmen one Lord Druches of Waldburg and other Gentlemen did rebell and gathered both their owne and other subiects of the house of Austria and that the said troopes did much harme and did use great cruelties against such Swedish souldiers as they did meet withall But now we doe likewise understand that the Swedish Dragons that lay in Biberach to revenge these perfidious and foule dealings fell into the Dominions of the sayd Lord Druchses pillaging and burning downe diuers Villages and Townes as Wurthach Waldsee and others From Vlm the 9. of May. The King of Sweden went with his Army from Preisengen towards Munchen the Magistrates whereof to save theyt City from pillaging did offer the King two hundred thousand Dollars but the King doth not accept of theyr offer and is still marching thitherwards We doe heare from Ingolstadt that there doe lye three Regiments of Bavarian souldiers for Garrison in it which are commanded by young Tilly. We receive likewise newes that fourteene thousand Boores that had gathered themselves about the Towne called Winegarten to refuse the promised Contribution and to defend themselves against the Swedes were no sooner met with about 3000.

forces were not neare at hand neuerthelesse the enimie was glad to retreat admiring that our Cauallery was so strong From Hildersheym the 4. of May. The Field-marshall Todt of his owne accord retyred backe left Pappenheym with 3. Regiments in Stoad the Field-marshall with his Army lay before Stoad ready for battle vntil hee vnderstood that Pappenheym would come forth he retyred And diuided his Army into three parts The middlemost part marched forward the other two parts were kept on the two sides somewhat out of the way Now when Benninghausen with three Regiments went against these Swedish forces which marched on forward The other two parts of the field-marshall Todt his Army came against Benninghausen toward Stoad fell vpon the body of his troupes and defeated them brought Benninghausen prisoner to Euxtehoed and vtterly ouerthrew 14. of their companies and brought the 14. Ensignes to Zell Now the field-marshall Toda is againe before Stoad with many forces and Pappenheym himselfe is within the City where he is coupt vp From Hamburgh the 5. of May. Duke Francis Charles of Saxon Lawenburgh is come with his troupes in the Country of Lunenburg and in Bardwycke made all things in a good plight there hath all things fitly prepared for warre hee for certaine dayes together caused Sermons to be preached in all Churches and prayers to be made and afterward held a generall Muster of all his forces Many of the Bishops chiefe Lords and Prelates welcommed him into those parts and saluted and wished him ioy after he had left good orderthere he brok vp with two Regiments of horse and foote and is come neere vnto Buxtehoed where he hath joyned forces with the field-marshall Todt where they keepe very good order discipline and cause daily prayers to be made twice Morning Euening throughout their whole Army they doe also hold consultation how they may possibly surprize and assault the Enemy Pappenh●ym is newly fallen out of the Citty Stoad at two Gates and hath skirmished along while with our forces Our field-marshall and the rest did resist them so manfully that their Gates of Stoad grew so narrow for the Imperialists that they could not all get in but many stayd behind who will not relate vnto their fellowes how they speed From Venice the 7. of May. Here hath beene an extraordinary Ambassador from the Emperour who hath receiued answer that they intend wel to the house of Austria and that they will further the Spanish proceedings in Jtaly as farre as should ley in their power but of late they had beene at such extraordinary expences that they could not make large contributions towards the maintenance of warre but they would affoord the Emperour and King of Spaine the passage from the Adriaticke Sea and helpe them with their owne shipping From Constantinople wee vnderstand that the lanizaries proceed still with their turbulent and violent tumult and discord Many haue beene murthered by their meanes and this manner of doing continueth still It is a question whether the Gran Signior bee aliue or dead If this tempest bee not calmed by some speedy qualification it is like to haue a fearefull effect From Vlm the 9. of May. Vpon Munday last the Gouernour of this City defeated some Imperiall troupes and hath taken from them foure Ensignes From Mosburg the 10. of May. Both the Kings Maiesties are now in the midst of Bauaria they haue taken Landshut and also the passage to Mosburgh ouer the Riuer Yz●r so that now they haue a direct free way towards Ratisbon or Regensburg From Augsburg the 12. of May. This day the King of Sweden breakes vp with his Army from Landshut but whether he tends we cannot yet know The Deputies of Munchen cannot agree about the conditions but his Maiestie of Sweden will doubtlesse decide the question for they are at his will and power The whole Bishopricke of F●…esingen is freely yeelded vp to his Maiesty and payd him contribution Hereupon some Boores in Swaben being 10000. strong haue assembled themselues together they haue taken againe Leutkirch and Wengen they haue with them some peeces of Ordnance But some of our forces which are already sent against them wil soone coole their courage This weeke the aforementioned Boores did ouercome and surprise 50. Swedish soldiers Crabates betweene Shrobenhousen and Sticha These Boores when they had mastered them did cut off their eares and noses chopt off their hands and feete put out their eyes and so left them these deuilish Boores doe great mischiefe of the like nature As soone as the King of Sweden was aduertised of the cruell insolencies of those Boores hee was much displeased and so much the more because he saw that his soldiers would not put it vp but presently cryed reuenge and fired their villages insomuch that in one day there were seene two hundred seuerall fires blazing at once From Vlm the 12. of May. About Bregenty and those parts the Catholicke Boores assembled together being some thousands of them they haue taken Wangen and Rauensburgh and therein slaine all the Swedish Soldiers Therevpon the Swedish Generall hath yesterday brought all the Swedish troupes together and is fully resolued since the Boores haue not kept the agreement formerly made to destroy them all with fire and sword and whereas the Swedish did vnderstand that the Commander Harancourt was on the march from Alsatia with some thousands of men to adioyne his forces to those of the Duke of Bauaria they presently sent for more foote forces from Ausburg and those parts and some Crabates also with intention to meete with them And now comes tydings that the Swedish haue surprized some of the Boores neere vnto Weingarten and slaine two hundred of them and put the rest to flight How the other shall speed wee shall ere long acquaint you The Bauarian forces haue lately murthered some of the Swedish Saue-guards wherefore the Bauarians must not looke for quarter when they shall come to fall into the Swedish hands From Cassell the 14. of May. Wee had hoped to diuert Pappenheyms proceeding by the meanes of the inroad into the Bishopricke of Collen but it hath not taken the same effect neuerthelesse the marching of our souldiers thither hath not beene altogether fruitlesse for our Prince the Landgraue of Hessen hath taken Briel by strength of Armes and brought all the soldiers of that Garrison with their Colours into this City From Donaweert the 5. of May. We understand from the Royall Army of Sweden that his Maiesty of Sweden himselfe in person is now come before Munchen and since they seeme not to accept of his Mai Articles of agreement it is thought the King will give that City as a prey to his souldiers for it is at his d●uotion Three of the Kings Regiments were lately sent forth toward Ratisbone to observe how things stood there but part of them fell to pillaging in the meane time 3. Regiments of Bavarians fell out of the City and
