A true Report of all the passages in the I le of Ree twixt the Duke of Buckingham his Grace and Monsieur Thorax Gouernour of the Fort as also betwixt the Duke and the French King and of the state of the Rochellers and the Kings forces lying before it together with other matters of moment lately hapned there As it was on Sunday last being the 25. of October related at White Hall by a Dutchman that came from thence ABout twelue dayes since it pleased his Excellencie the Duke of Buckingham to dispatch a Dutchman with Letters to his Maiestie concerning the present state of our Armie lying now in the I le of Ree and before the Fort or Cittadell there who saith that about three dayes before his comming away Sir William Bourchier arriued at the I le with certaine ships furnished with money and victuals safe and well which gaue great comfort to his Excellencie hauing long expected to heare from England in so much that before his arriuall our Armie was in great distresse for want of prouision and of victuals and other necessaries that it was a great question whether they should continue there any longer or rather giue ouer the further prosecution of the action in regard of those many extremities that they were brought vnto hauing beene of a long time not supplyed from England whereupon my Lord taking into consideration the great dishonour that would redound to the Nation said that he would for his part aduenture himselfe to the vttermost perils Fortune could obiect against him rather then hee would giue ouer so noble a designe and did therevpon exhort all his followers and Souldiers to a constant perseuerance in the action maugre all the difficulties that might ensue saying that hee would participate of the greatest dangers with themenest of his followers before hee would suffer the dishonour that would accrue vpon the declining of such an action and further said hee would rather commit himselfe and his whole Armie to the releeuing of the Towne of Rochell before he would returne into England with dishonour or without the accomplishing of the businesse for which he came thither For the state of the Fort notwithstanding some small reliefe they lately had obtayned is such that in the iudgement of man it cannot hold out many dayes for since they haue receiued some reliefe there hath come forth daily by twenties more or lesse poore hunger-starued people which doth demonstrate the state of the rest hauing had as they report only a poore pittance of Bread and Water for a moneth or fiue weekes together insomuch that the number in the Fort which they haue remayning for defence is come from two thousand and odde to fiue hundred and that of late about two dayes before the comming away of this Messenger a Dutchman comming out of the Fort and did deliuer to my Lord Duke the strength of the Fort and where they were best prouided for defence what places were weakest and not able to defend the least assault should bee made against them For in reason if we consider the compasse of the Fort being about a mile the besieged with that number of men cannot mayntaine each worke with enterchange of fresh men as the necessitie of the siege will require by which you may gather that they cannot long subsist Besides my Lord hath taken and doth possesse two of the principall out-workes of the Enemie by which they are able to dismount the greatest part of their Ordinance and in short time to command some other of their best workes and to giue law vnto them in their owne tro●ches Vpon which consideration together with other information receiued my Lord called a Councell and did thereupon resolue to assaile them in places of best aduantage which was to be put in execution immediately vpon the comming away of this Messenger not doubting as this Messenger reports of a happie Issue and that the Fort before this is in the possession of the English For the further hope of reliefe which they may expect from the Mayne my Lord hath taken such care and hath from Rochell receiued diuers flat bottome Boates which are so linked and chainted together by art that now it is impossible that any succour should be brought in in the night as formerly hath beene now whereas some may obiect against my Lords care in suffering the Fort thus at seuerall times to be relieued I answer that it is not possible neither could the wit of man preuent the same if they will venture at all times and hazard themselues but that some of many may scape in with some small prouision vnlesse wee could guard the shoare with a sufficient number of Boates aswell night as day to preuent which they haue now made a Barracado as aforesaid The French King did lately send a Messenger to my Lord to require a faire quarter to bee obserued by his Excellency did promise the like should be obserued on his part wherunto my Lord sent him this answer that for his part he would obserue all farre quarters with his Maiestie by land but by water he desired him to pardon him and sayd that by water it might disaduanhim and therefore would keepe no other quarters then he had done hitherto and which by the Law of Armes he might iustifie with his Honour The French King lying with his Armie before Rochell is verie sicke and doth suffer much in his Army by seuerall casualties the new Fort which hee hath lately erected is much demolished and diuerse workes belonging to it taken by the R●chellers besides those of Rochell are building another Fort against it which will be a great annoyance to the Kings Armie The Duke of Rohan is marching to the ayd of Rochell with 7000. Foot and 500. Horse well prouided and resolute Souldiers In Lorraine a Bishop of that Dukedome hath in readinesse 15000. men which as it is sayd are prouided and haue a purpose to fall vpon some parts of the French Kings Dominions and that the quarrell should be the House of Austria's besides some other Princes are preparing to inuade him likewise which will giue the French King his

hands full My L. Duke and his whole Armie are couragious and in good estate he hath receiued lately fiue companies from Rochell of braue resolute fellowes and hath sent into Rochell all his sicke and hurt men where they are well releeued of all necessaries The Rochellers haue wholly declared themselues for the King of England as by the Articles which are agreed vpon by my L. Duke and them doth appeare his Excellencie hath sent word to his Maiestie that if it please him to send him bread he will deserue it but if he will adde vnto it somewhat more he will drinke his health by which you may see his inuincible courage zeale and affection to his Countries Honour which I pray God to prosper Since this Messenger came one Master Griffin a Gentle-man belonging to his Excellencie arriued in London on Sunday night who being longer at sea yet was dispatcht away before this Dutch-man 12. daies doth confirme what this Messenger brought only it was his misfortune to arriue after him being crost by contrarie winds and the Barke in which hee came in being cast away and onely himselfe and his fellow-passengers were saued by the mercie of God together with those packets and other matters of worth which they had in the said Barke were saued from shipwracke and can relate not much more then the former Messenger From Rome the 18. of September ON Satturday last

Fredericke of Wirtenburg is here daily expected But it is thought that seeing that the Emperor is departed that he will rest himselfe here some dayes and goe afterwards to the Emperor To day is expired the time which was prefixed to the Protestant Preachers for their departure But seeing that the raine-water and otherwaters which haue drowned the Land haue much spoiled the high-wayes that they cannot well be vsed they haue at their request obtained leaue to tarry in this Land some few weekes to dispose in the interim of their affayres and meanes They are to forsake this land before expiration of three weekes vpon paine to be seuerely punished It is here rumored by many but belieued by very few that there a peace concluded betwixt the Emperour and the great Signior for the space

intrenchments The Ambassadors and Commissioners meet yet dayly and it is reported that the Swedish propound very hard conditions of peace namely that the King of Poland should resigne for euer for him and his heires the title and claime which hee hath or pretendeth to the Kingdome of Sweden That the King of Poland should giue to the King of Sweden 80 tunnes of gold for the payment of his souldiers and warlike expences As likewise that the King of Poland should suffer him to enioy for the space of tenne yeares all the places which he hath taken in Prussia and after the expiration of them hee
