to come to nothing The Cardinal had beat his Drumms throughout Spain and made Europe and Africk ring of his design The preparations he had made were great and if not attended with effects suitable would have proved the travels of the Mountains that brought forth a Mouse All the World was against him only the King had not declared himself upon the advices given him He Addressed himself to the King by a Letter from Carthagene intreated him by the many travels and great Labours he had endured in the administration of the Affairs wherewith he had honoured him for the interest of Religion and the Love of God that he would not suffer so compleat an Army and so great preparations for Warr to perish unprofitably that the designes of those who envyed him tended to the diminution of his Royal Glory only to make him incurr the blame of Temerity he declared to him the facility of the enterprize and the treasure he had provided for it that he had of his own sufficient to pay the Army three moneths And if it should be his ill fortune to see his designes shamefully frustrated and the Army disbanded that his Majesty would be pleased to grant him leave to retire to his house at Toledo where he would endeavour by Exhortations and Sermons to make Warr against Vice in his Diocess The King who had a value for his person and Judged him necessary for Spain gave him the satisfaction he desired slighted the Counsels of his Enemies gave him order to set Sail and commanded the whole Army to attend him the next Spring being the year 1508. But though these obstacles were overcome by the Courage of the Cardinal and Authority of the King there sprung up new to retard his designes and stay him at Carthagene For just as he was to put his men on Board the Soldiers mutinyed fled from their Colours and drew to the hills neer the Sea The occasion was this The Cardinal had ordered that the Muster of the Army should be in Africk at their first Landing And to prevent the Pilleries practised by the Captains on their Companies that every Soldier should receive his pay immediately from the Treasurers Peter of Navar accustomed to the rapines of the Warrs in Italy liked not this order and gave notice thereof under hand to the Captains who disguising the matter and setting it out to disadvantage before the Soldiers caused them to disband Vianelli who was of Authority in the Army instead of appeasing the sedition inflamed it holding close intelligence with Navarr and having resolved with him to drive on the Mutiny to the last point of despair In order to this he caused all the Mutineers he he could Light on to be presently hanged up and by colour of doing Justice put those on the hills in a desperate fury The Cardinal seeing the remedy worse than the Disease sends Villaroel Governour of Castocle to command Vianelli to proceed with more gentleness and not destroy those men who were necessary for the Warr they were to make Vianelli's pride made him take this in ill part and Answer he knew better than the Cardinal or him how the mutinies of Soldiers were to be appeased Villaroel layes his hand on his Sword strikes and wounds him in the head and retires into the Citadel of Carthagene under the command of his Kinsman This delay'd the setting out of the Fleet for Vianelli being the principal guide of the Voyage it was necessary to attend his Cure as to appease the mutiny of the Soldiers To effect this the Cardinal employes Captain Salazar Campmaster of the Regiment of Toledo a great Warrier Eminent in Soldierly Eloquence and powerful in Military perswasion He goes to the Soldiers tells them the Muster was to be taken Aboard the Gally-Royal perswades them to come to it shews them baggs of Money crowned with green Boughes carryed in their fight on the Shore at some distance from the hill towards the Gally the Mutineers at sight of the money haste down as Hawkes to the Lure By this Artifice they were imbarqued and set Sail from Carthagene the 15th of May with 24 Ships ten Gallyes and a great number of smaller Vessels The Army was composed of ten thousand foot and four thousand horse On Ascension Eve they came happily to Anchor on the Coast of Africk At their Landing the Cardinal was Cloathed in a long Vest of the Habit of his Order with a Cross of Silver carryed before him by a Cordelier of a monstrous stature mounted on a white beast his Sword by his side girt upon his Robe Others of the Older who accompanied the Cardinal were habited alike with long Robes and Swords With this Retinue he retires into the Castle of Mersalcabir to Rest and Refresh himself News was brought him that Navarr had Landed the Foot but left the Horse on Board as useless on this Coast being full of Hills and Rocks The Cardinal goes to the Port and commands all the Cavalry ashore To this Act the whole Army owed their safety in several Engagements with the Moors wherein the Cavalry sheltered the Foot from Ruine and Defeat The Army was drawn no in four Batallions and the Soldiers commanded by the Cardinal to fit themselves for fight by taking their Repast before they Engaged Their provision of Victuals consisted most of Bread Bacon and salt Meats and the Cardinal dispensing with the abstinence of the day being Friday gave them liberty to eat thereof and after their repast exhorted them to fight Couragiously for the service of God and their King This done the Principal Officers intreated him to withdraw into the Fortress the feebleness of his Age inclined him to consent and being Conducted into the Castle he retyred into St. Michaels Chappel to fight against the Moors by Prayers to God being disabled by Age for manual Combats The Infidels discovering the Approach of the Army were ready for battle and for better advantage had possessed themselves of a little hill where the Army must of necessity have passed to attaque Oran Peter of Navarr seeing this Post taken by the Enemy was in doubt what to do and goes to the Cardinal for Advice who having heard him answered in short Fight God will be your Leader with this Answer he returns and sets upon the hill where in effect he made no progress but in the Loss of his men and those the flowre of his Troops whom the Moors slew in great numbers Cut of their heads and sent them to Oran to be carryed in Triumph through the Streets where Women and Children who seldome fight but with the dead exprest their joy over them by Songs and Dances Lewis Contreras Captain of the slain had but one Eye and partaking the fate of his fellow Soldiers had his head cut off and dragg'd in the streets of Oran some of those many old Women that pretend to Divination among the Moors saw it and having attentively viewed its Physiogmony
