with an unparallelled Impudence as if all things had been lawful to them You that know me may well imagine what a trouble it was to me to see that Poland my Country should be the Theatre where all these Villanies were acted and not one Polander to be found who might undeceive the World Yet the Emperor with his ordinary Mercy suffered the Malecontents of Hungary to pass the next Water with as much quiet and security as they would desire to the end to draw them by this affectionate conduct to lay down Arms return to their Duty and live peaceably in their Country under obedience and I thought they would then for ever have left their Rebellion if the Artifices of the French had permitted them to take good counsel We have been inform'd how 100000 Florins were ordered at Paris to foment the Discontent of the Rebels in Hungary and quicken the Turks the more How this Sum was delivered at Dantzick the Metropolis of Royal Prussia and put into the Hands of a Banker whose Name is Fromontius who afterwards delivered it to the French Emissaries at several payments the better to hide the business Moreover we knew how the Sieur du Vernay Boucauld Count Teckely's real Spy caused to be delivered into the hands of the Sieur Valentin Nemessan 11300 Ducats to oblige the Malecontents to take Arms again and attack the Cittadel of Zatmar after the French fashion with gilt Arrows I mean to endeavour to gain the Garison or Citizens with money You knew Sir that in Poland we highly disapproved of this Conduct which was not totally unknown The Principal Officers of our Court before the whole Court represented to the most Christian King's Ambassadour that we would no longer allow of such things We told them that by order of the whole Senate we forbid the French to act as we understood they lately had done upon pain of our King's displeasure Monsieur de Vitry endeavoured to excuse himself he produced his Book assuring us that we should not find in all his Accounts that the Malecontents in Hungary had touched the money we spoke of and which was all delivered by his Order Thus it is that Deceit and Craft hide the Truth under false pretences Notwithstanding you must know that the French Money went into Hungary and men have been employed on purpose to stop it and even the very Women have not been ignorant of the Wiles and Practises of the French The Princess Radrivilliana Widow to the Prince of that name expresly forbid the suffering any French to pass through her Country of Sacolia bordering upon Transylvania fearing lest they should as in other places corrupt the People with mony Nevertheless the French whether it was that they would venture all or whether they thought they were sufficiently disguised not to be known took their Journey through this Princess's hereditary Country and one that was taken was carried to her Castle whom she imprisoned loaded with Irons and afterwards caused to be severely punished The Marquess De Vitri as well as all the Court saw this man run backwards and forwards being obliged to take another way This generous Princess's Example may convince the World that there were those in Poland who condemned the abominable practises of the French All the world would have thought that after this the Sieur du Vernay and all his under Spies would have grown circumspect by the punishment of their Companion or that at least they would have learnt to conceal themselves better But on the contrary they made it appear by their new behaviour that when once a man has gone beyond the bounds of Honour he is fit for any thing These Gentlemen the Masters of Perfidiousness perceived that they had no fairer a convenience for to entertain a commerce with the French Ambassadour at Constantinople the Turks and Malecontents in Hungary than that which they found on the borders of Poland They always had correspondence and had as often as they could private enterviews with the Sieurs Valentin Nemessan Peter Iagel and other particular Friends and Allies of Teckely They moreover endeavoured to have still more and more frequent Conferences in Transilvania sending first one and then another to Paris with the necessary Instructions of all their Proceedings So the Emperour's Ambassadour at this Court who had notice of all desired our most Serene King of Poland that his Majesty would be pleased to give order that no French-man not being an Ambassadour or bearing some other Employment should be allowed to stay in his Dominions He added to his Entreaty the humble Remonstrance that the ancient Treaties so often renewed between the Empire and Poland required it for the publick Peace neither did he omit what he had understood concerning the Behaviour of the French in Hungary and Constantinople This occasioned that the most Christian King's Embassador was advertized by his Majesty of Poland to order Akakia and Du Vernay to withdraw At the same time he received a severe Animadversion about those Peoples Behaviour The Senate told him that we were no longer upon terms of conniving since we had been informed that the French more and more stirted up the Troubles of Hungary to draw on a War with the Turk that we knew from good hands what Mony they had given for it what Cabals they had had and the Sieur Du Vernay kept every day We declared that Man was a Spy and a turbulent Person who had no other business to detain him about Leopol but only to treat with the Turks and Malecontents about the means and entring into a League together for to draw the War into Hungary that therefore we earnestly desired he would cause him to retire The Ambassador answered that he would not do what we demanded he loudly declared that Monsieur Du Vernay was sent with him into Poland to manage the Affairs of the most Christian King their Master He presumed very confidently to deny that neither the Sieur Du Vernay nor he had any commerce with the Hungarians or Turks on the contrary he said that the French King in leaving Luxemburg had sufficiently testified how earnestly he desired the Peace of Christendom much less to give an occasion of suspecting the French of any sinister Design He promised however to take away as he said all Suspitions that the Sieur Du Vernay should go to Varovia and that there he should execute his most Christian Majesties commands However the Sieur Du Vernay upon the news of all these Accusations had retired to a Convent of Schismatick Monks of the order of St. Basil And this did not put an end to these Practices so unworthy the name of Christianity Some time after the Emperours Ambassadour discovered that new sums of Mony were come to Dantzick for the French This and many other things which he understood at the same time obliged him to renew his Prayers to his Majesty of Poland He had Audience in the Presence of the Marquess De Vitry
