Brandenburg into the Countries of Oldenburg and Delmenhurst which put all the Country under Contribution and wrought such an Effect upon the Danish Envoy at Paris that the Treaty was fully concluded between France Sweden and Denmark on the 2d of Sept. at St. Germains M. Pompone having full Power from the French King to that Purpose The Treaties of Roscheld Copenhagen and Westphalia were the Ground-work of this Peace with Denmark as will better appear by this Abstract I. THAT there be a firm Peace between the said Kings and all Things during the War to the Offence of either forgotten II. That all Alliances made by either of the Three Kings to the Prejudice of the other shall cease and be abolished and they shall not make any which may be so for the future III. That Hostilities do cease within a Fortnight reckoning from the Day of the Signing except in Norway where 3 Weeks shall be allowed because of the Distance IV. That the Treaties of Roscheld Copenhagen and Westphalia shall be confirmed with all the Instruments to them appertaining V. The King of Denmark promises to restore whatever he hath taken from the Swedes during the War viz. Landscroon Helsenburg Monstrand and Wisma● with the Isles of Rugen and Gothlaend and all their Dependances VI. In like manner the King of Sweden promises to restore what he has taken from Denmark during the War VII That Commissioners shall be appointed by the Two Northern Crowns who shall meet within 6 Months a Minister from the most Christian King being present and shall endeavour to compose all Differences arisen on occasion of Priviledges and Immunities which the Swedes pretend to in the Sound and the Baltick provided that the said Priviledges and Immunities do remain in full Force and Vigour the Abuses only to be corrected VIII The Places to be restored to Sweden shall be delivered up in the same Condition as they are at present viz. Helsenburg Landscoon and all other Places possessed by the King of Denmark in Schonen Plei●ing and Holland together with Carelstadt and the Fort on the River Swinge within 2 Weeks Wismar and the Isle of Rugen within 3 Marstrond and the Isle of Gothland within 4 Weeks to be reckoned from the Day of the Exchange IX The King of Denmark may take out of the Places to be restored what Cannon he caused to be brought into them since they were in his Possession but the Cannon that were in the Places when taken and still remain there to be restored with the Places But if the King of Denmark hath formerly taken out of those Places the Cannon that belonged to the Swedes he shall restore the one half thereof X. All Goods and Estates confiscated during the War shall be restored XI All Persons shall be restored to the Rights and Priviledges they enjoyed before the War XII The Country of Rixengen belonging to the Count Ethlefelt Chancellor of Denmark confiscated during the War shall be restored to him XIII All Prisoners to be set at Liberty XIV All such Princes as desire it shall be comprehended in this Treaty XV. The most Christian King promises that the King of Sweden shall ratifie this Treaty within 3 Months XVI The most Christian King promises to ratifie the same within 6 Weeks But of all other Points conceded by the Dane in this Treaty none seemed so hard as this last relating to the Duke of Holstein Gottorp who for being an Ally in this War to the Swede Denmark had stripped of all his Dominions but is now forced to re-instate him in as ample Form as could be and he pretend to unless it were the Damage which his Territories had sustained during the War by the vast Sums of Money which the King of Denmark had raised therein as being one of the best Countries in all the North. And thus ended this long and bloody War in Europe but with as much Dissatisfaction to almost all the Allies as it was advantageous to France who was left in a Condition by it to do what she would as we shall have occasion to note hereafter It was very hard upon all the Allies harder yet to the Elector of Brandenburg but to none more than the King of Denmark who had no manner of Compensation for all the Conquests he had made in the Course of it and I think was no less dishonourable to England every way whose Mediation though continued even to the last yet through some evil Aspect or other had not the Happiness of Signing any one of the Treaties And as for the Duke of Lorrain as he had nothing in Possession so he lost nothing but his Expectation which in the Sequel appeared to be ill grounded tho' upon the direct and frequent Engagements both of the Confederates and Mediator And so that noble tho' unfortunate Prince was wholly left out of the Treaty and without any visible Hopes of ever recovering the Dominion of his Ancestors And here we shall at present leave it and return to see what has been doing all this while in England About the 29th of Sept. the preceding Year which was 1678 Dr. Oats seconded after by Tongue and Kirby made a Discovery of an horrid Plot carried on by Jesuits and others of the Roman Communion against the Life and Person of the King Protestant Religion and Established Government and for a further Confirmation of his Testimony Oats referred himself to Coleman's Papers who was Secretary to the then Dutchess of York But though the Court could not but enquire into the Truth of this yet they made such slow Paces in it that Coleman had time enough to convey away all the Papers of the 2 last Years with his Book of Entries of them However those Letters that were found amazed the major part of the Council and thereupon several Persons were examined and committed viz. Sir George Wakeman the Queen's Physician Coleman Langborn of the Inner-Temple Tho. Whitebread Provincial of the Jesuits in England James Corker and Thomas Pickering all Jesuits Priests and Monks with divers others And not long after William Earl of Powis William Viscount Stafford Henry Lord Arundel of Warder William Lord Petre and John Lord Bellasis were sent Prisoners upon the same Account to the Tower of London But tho' these and other Circumstances made the Matter pretty clear yet the Murder of Sir Edmundbury Godfrey a Justice of the Peace before whom some of the Depositions had been taken and who appear'd zealous against all Male Practices against the King and Government soon after viz. on the 12th of Oct. rendred the Conspiracy in the Sight of most Men to be past all doubt And therefore the Parliament who met upon the 21 st of Oct. after having appointed a Secret Committee to enquire into the Bottom of the Plot did upon the 1st of Nov. following come to this Resolution Nemine Contradicente That upon the Evidence that hath already appeared to this House this House is of Opinion that there
Ireland qualified by the Tests to serve sent over an Army of Irish that were not qualified to encrease the English Army who by this time were grown intolerably insolent though the King by several Orders would have had their Quarters restrained to Victualling Houses Houses of Publick Entertainment and such as had Licenses to sell Wine and other Liquors The Officers too when they pleased would be exempt from the Civil Power And tho' the King had no other War upon his Hands but against the Laws and Constitutions of the Government yet he would make an obsolete Act of Parliament that made it Felony without Benefit of Clergy for any Soldier 's taking Pay in the King's Service in his Wars beyond Sea or upon the Sea or in Scotland to desert from his Officer to extend to this new-raised Army And because the worthy Recorder of London Sir John Holt would not expound that Law according to the King's Design he was put out of his Place and so was Sir Edward Herbert from being Chief Justice of the King 's Bench to make way for Sir Robert Wright to hang a poor Soldier upon the said Statute which afterwards did the Job without any further Dispute It would be an endless Thing to enumerate the disorderly Proceedings of this Year yet I doubt you will hear of no less in the next but you must stay a little and take a View of Foreign Proceedings before we shall have leisure to enter upon them And first we shall again begin with Hungary since we have nothing considerable nearer Home where the Imperial Arms to say nothing of other Advantages had prevailed wonderfully in taking of Buda the Capital of that Kingdom which so nettled the Turks that they resolved to use their utmost Efforts to retrieve their Honour this Season while the Imperialists were not idle on their part and the Scheme of the Summer's Business seemed to have been thus designed The whole Army which amounted to 62900 fighting Men besides the Troops of the Circles of Swabia and Franconia and others was to be divided into 3 Bodies the 1st being to act in Vpper Hungary under the Command of the Elector of Ba●●aria the 2d in Lower Hungary under that of the Duke of Lorrain and the 3d upon the Frontiers of Croatia under General Dunewald and that they might have Communication one with another there were 2 Bridges made one over the Drave near Tarnovitz and another over the Danube near Buda in the Isle of St. Marguerite and with this Disposition all the Troops rendezyoused near Barkan where the Duke of Lorrain arrived May 13 in Person from whence he sent out several Spies to discover the Number and Posture of the Enemy These reported They were stronger than the Imperial Army and were busie in repairing the Bridge of Esseck which after divers Consultations made the Duke move towards the said Place and the Croatian Army advanced also the same Way while the Elector of Bavaria with the Army under his Command seemed to threaten Erla in Vpper Hungary But other Work was cut out for them in the Lower as you 'll hear by and by For the Duke of Lorrain being advanced towards Feutar broke up June 17 from thence and continued his March towards Esseck and because the Army left Alba Regalis behind it a Body of Light-Horse were left behind to cover the Baggage and on the 18th a Bridge of Boats was laid near Tolna over which the whole Army passed by the 20th and encamped a Mile from thence and removed afterwards to Mohatz as they did their Bridge likewise that so the 2 Armies might succour each other The Duke at the same time sent an Express to the Croatian Troops to secure the Bridge that was laid over the Drave near Syclos and there erect likewise that of Boats that they carried along with them which was punctually performed From Mohatz the Duke marched on the 24th to Darda aside of the Bridge of Esseck which as soon as the Turks who were hard at work in repairing the Bridges over the Morass had Notice of they abandoned their Works and retreated towards the Bridge of Boats they had over the Drave and which they had secured with a good Fort of Earth and Wood having left some Bodies of Horse and Foot among the Moraffes to dispute the Approach of it with the Imperialists The Duke the Night following caused the Bridge and Disposition of the Enemy to be view'd and ordered the necessary Detachments to attack them by Break of Day when Word was brought him that the Enemy had taken away 2 Boats of their Bridges and that there was no appearance of them However a Detachment from the Army crossed the Morasses on the 25th and advanced towards the Enemies Bridge of Boats in good Order who when the Christians were come within an 150 Paces of them fired very furiously upon them so as that they were forced a little to retreat but being sustained with fresh Troops they charged the Turks with so much Resolution that they quitted their Post and retreated into their Fort from whence the Imperialists also drove them whom they pursued as far as the Gare of Esseck where they had like to have entred the Town Pell-mell with them The Imperialists endeavoured to preserve the Bridge but several Mills and Boats being set on float were by the Rapidity of the Stream thrown so impetuously upon it that they broke one part of it and hindred the rest from being seized on insomuch that it was now thought most advisable to set it on fire Next Day after having viewed the Ground and a Draught taken for the Building of a new Fort they began to break Ground which yet was not done without Disturbance from the Enemy but the very same Day the Christians entirely ruined the Dykes which the Turks had made upon the Morasses in the room of the Bridges that had been burnt towards the End of the last Campaign which was difficult Work And then it was resolved that a Line of Communication should be drawn from the Entrance of the Morasses as far as the Fort that so under its cover the Troops might pass that should be needful for its Defence in case the Turks were minded to attack it Things thus passed on till the 28th when the Duke of Lorain having chose out from among the Soldiers such as could Swim best he ordered them to go and fire the Boats Mills and Barges which the Turks had posted within Musket-shot of Esseck They punctually executed their Orders but the Enemy put out the Fire before it produced any Effect which with many other Considerations made the Duke call a Council of War next Day where having judged it impossible to pass the Drave at the Place where they were encamped it was resolved to break up from thence And accordingly on the 30th the Duke having left the Cavalry to guard the Pass and to ruine the Bridges of the Morass departed with the Infantry
