The King also hath sent the West India President into Siuil to see the vnlading of the Siluer Fleet Some suppose it is by reason of some suspition concerning the distribution other thinke because the King intends to reserue the whole for himselfe by reason of his extreme and vrgent present necessity From Venice the 17. of September It is confirmed from Constantinople that the Turke hath obtained victory against the Persians and slaine of them about 30000. and taken prisoners 3000. of the same amongst them their Lieutenant Generall The Persian King can neither be found aliue nor dead Hereupon the Persians to draw the Turke to yeeld to a peace doe proffer him the Citty Babylonia and abundance of Silke As yet is nothing concluded From Millan the 17. of September It is verified from Constantinople that the Iesuites haue a long time importuned the Grand Lord to grant a slaughter and vtter extirpation of all the Greeke Christians The same was consented by him the said Great Turke but there was no prefixed time prescribed for the execution of the same Wherefore these bloodthirsty wretches were at a certaine time and place assembled together to resolue when and how this wicked enterprize should be put in practice When they were sate in Counsell in this nature such terrible Thunder-claps and dreadfull Lightnings fell from Heauen that their mischieuous intention was thereby frustrated The Thunder and Lightning did cast them downe one after another to the very ground did fire and burne the very Cushions whereon they sate put them all into no small perplexity feare and astonishment The Great Turke who formerly had not willingly condescended to the cruell and bloody desseine did openly professe that he did palpably perceiue that such inhumane cruelty plotted against such innocent harmelesse people was altogether odious abominable displeasing to the Almighty Whereupon he consulted what ought to be done to the first brochers and inuentors of such villany and at last concluded and resolued vpon That such Miscreants should be punished with Lex talionis that is be serued with the same sawce It was so effected for all those persons that had a hand in this businesse as many as could be found out afterwards being dispersed were beheaded and put to death From the Bishopricke of Minden the 29. of September That which formerly you haue heard concerning the Maiden and desire to be resolued therein it is most certaine and true The fourth day she lost her speech againe She then receiued the holy Sacrament and wept most bitterly afterward she went from one roome and place to another and did shew with signes vpon her fingers that she should dye within 14. dayes Which is verified from Wulffenbuttel to haue falne out according to her demonstration She hath spoken most strange things inditing and exhorting the people earnestly to serious repentance to prayer Christian duties generally to the seruice and feare of God for she said that great misery should befall those parts Insomuch that betweene Augusto and Galle in the Country of Brunswick vpon the Long Wiese neere vnto Pethmar should be seene a terrible fight held that men should goe vp to the very knees in blood After this should come a great mortality and at last a peaceable and prosperous yeere Which things with many more she spake so elegantly pathetically and with such grace that each one thought she was from her very Childhood brought vp vnto Eloquence she was of about the age betweene 17. and 18. yeeres From Regensburgh the 26. of September His Maiesty of Hungaria and Bohemia within few daies arriued here with certaine Lords and other Attendants all his seruants werre arriued in most sumptuous manner as also his Coachman It is reported he doth intend to goe to Memminger and other Citties to view them and then returne backe againe hither It is now certaine that the Prince Elector of Saxony but without the consent and approbation of his Imperiall Maiestie doth set himselfe in open Armes for the defence of his Country All things here doe foretell and presage nothing but fearefull times of Warre and Combustion From Regensburgh the 6. of October Last Saturday did the Duke Augustus Paltzgraue by the Rhyne arriue here and hath had audience with the Emperour We shall now shortly learne who shall be Generall for the ensuing War as yet they are not agreed It seemes there be diuers Competitors that stand for it Another from Regenburgh concerning the resolution of the Prince Elector of Saxony Whereas his Imperiall Maiesty and the Princes of the Dyet haue sent a speedy Messenger againe to the Duke of Saxony summoning him to appeare himselfe in person and so to yeeld his verdict and opinion for the resoluing what course to take against the King of Sweden and other Enemies of the Empire for the establishing and furtherance of the publicke good This Messenger is returned backe with Letters to his Imperiall Maiesty from the said Elector and the Marquis of Brandenburgh wherein they doe heauily complaine that Germany within these 12. yeeres is so spoyled and destroyed the Constitutions of the Empire weakned the Peeres impouerished and abused the Liberties suppressed that iust occasion and cause was offered to forraigne Princes and Potentates to haue an insight in the affaires of the Empire Wherefore they for their parts doe desire the abolishing of those Edicts and Proclamations concerning matters of Religion Otherwise if his Imperiall Maiesty and the Princes and Peeres of the Dyet and Vnion did not cease treating concerning matters of Religion that they must not suppose that he and his adherents and those that are ioyned with him in Religion will take in hand to defend and ensure them against all forraigne power and inuasion From Old-Stattyn the 4. of October Notwithstanding the Peeres and Inhabitants haue very importunately desired his Maiesty of Sweden to besiege and labour to incorporate both the passages of Gartz and Griffenhagen Their request was thus earnest in this behalfe to the end that the Country might be freed from the excessiue tyranny burning and pillaging c. The reason why his Maiesty hath not yeelded to their desire as yet is because he hath another weighty Enterprize in hand to the which end he hath arrested and stayed many Ships and laden the same with Men Munition Victuals Ordnance and all necessaries With this Fleet and Army he sailed very lately hence the wind being fauourable he passed by Wolgast and went to Straelzondt where he will land his Army and march to Mechlenburgh Before the departure of his Maiesty came Letters to him from the 6. Electors which Letters did answer vnto what his Maiesty formerly had written vnto them whereupon they required his Maiesty to depart the Confines of the Empire promising that they would vse all meanes possible to obtaine a Peace But his Maiesty not regarding but altogether slighting their propositions did notwithstanding proceed to prosecute his designe and enterprize vnto which the Lord giue a

blessed successe The Imperialists being aduertised of the departure of his Maiesty of Sweden fell vpon this Citty with all their possible force and might and vpon the Sconces and other Forts shouting and crying and making a fearefull noyse but they were so receiued at their comming that they were commpelled to retire with the losse of many men This last weeke past the Imperialists came with some Forces before Posewaldt which the King of Swedens Forces had taken and besconced but 4. dayes before they strongly assaulted this place and at last set the same on fire insomuch that those within were not able to abide the heate and therefore not sufficiently defend themselues insomuch that the Imperialists mastered the same and haue miserably and cruely slaine Souldiers Citizens men women and children they found in the same 14. Peeces of Ordnance and other good commodities By reason that the pestilence raignes hotly in Gartz among the Emperours Forces they flye apace out of the Imperiall Army vnto the Bishop of Hall The Generall Field-marshall Count Torqualto the Generall Cordacke and the Lord Morando are all of them lately deceased The Boores in Bohemia continue still in their rebellion and will not agree to any composition nor be brought vnto any reformation Those that went to oppose and resist them are returned backe by reason they found them so strong and well ordered armed and vnited together Contents of a Letter written from the chiefe Quarter of the Administrator at Ouerfurt Nicholas Becke chiefe Lieutenant of the Administrator of Hall hath incorporated the whole Earldome of Ouerfurt againe and brought the same into state as formerly and beset the same with very able Horse and Footmen The Administrator himselfe is daily expected Our Horsemen haue earnestly laid in waite for Captaine Hans van Casselen who went to leuy some Forces against vs he had great quantity of moneys with him also 10. Patents to leauy some other Companies for the Commander Generall Becker They met with him at Artem at the Dam and there assaulted him and since he would accept of no Quarter they shot him and kild him with two other Commanders They haue also taken the Bagage and goods of the Generall Olueltz which formerly were reserued in the Fort Mansvelt Also the Ritmaster E●nhuysen was taken lately accompanied with certaine braue Horsemen by the Regiment of Holok in which exploit they obtained very great booty and haue kept him and his Company prisoners From Straesburgh the 4. of October In the Dukedome of Wurtenburgh are already taken aboue 8. Monasteries and Cloisters the rest will also shortly be dispatched There is no great strength vsed neither doe they meet with any great resistance All the moueables are taken away and the buildings left empty Men doe resort hither and thither into diuers Bishopricks From Haluerstadt the 29. of September The Bishop of Halls Souldiers as also those of the City Maeghdenburgh commit great insolencies fly out day and night fetch all things vnto them by hooke and crooke Hereupon the Regiment of Generall Hulikens with some other Forces hath commanded to haue an eye to them Last Wednesday they encountred with them neere vnto Germers-leuco on Hulikens side was slaine one Captaine one Lieutenant one Ritmaster and diuers other Officers amongst the rest one Ripensteyn with many men more Those of Maghdenburgh had some men in Ambush so that they did greatly endamage the Imperialists The Maeghdenburgers came not off without sustaining great losse Among those that were slaine on this Bishops side were found 15. Citizens of Egelen The Frontiers thereabouts betake themselues to the Bishops Forces as also most of the Inhabitants thereabouts doe flye with all their goods and Moueables into Maeghdenburgh The Forces about Wulffenbuttel doe begin to stay the Corne-waggons which trauell toward Brunswick Now also comes tydings that those of Maeghdenburgh haue defeated and slaine the Crabates which were come into Wandsleuen From Brunswicke the 4. of October The Imperialists in Wulffenbuttel doe begin to come vpon this City with great threatnings They conuey away all the Corne which is in this Citty The Commander himselfe lately came hither and requires a plaine Catagoricall answer whether or no this Citty is resolued to aduenture body and goods for the Emperour he demaunds of them an act of assurance of their hand-writing for confirmation of the same Furthermore that this Magistracy shall not suffer any Souldiers to be leauied for the Administrator and Bishop of Hall They therefore doe imprison all those Commanders that come hither for that purpose For the first point it is resolued to make knowne the Proposition of the Emperours demaund vnto all Officers and Companies and all manner of Trades For the latter we did excuse our selues insomuch as we could not as yet heare of any Forces were to be leuied From Hamb the 5. of October Our Legate who was dispatched to the Emperour is not as yet returned so that we cannot tell whether his Imperiall Maiesty will vndertake the affaires of this Citty yea or no. In the meane time his Maiesty of Denmarke is Master of the Riuer Elue he suffers all manner of Ships and Barkes to passe to and fro but those that ascend the Riuer must pay toll as much as the Hollandish Conuoy doth amount vnto His Maiesty of Denmarke hath markt the Beacons with his owne marke and set them vpon the drought He causeth great paines to be taken about the Blockhouse which is raised in the Hauen S.
