The Embassadors of Denmark and Brandenburg make a sharp remonstrance to the Im●erial Embassadors of the manifest Evil and great Injuries offered to their Masters by those their proceeding with France and conjured them by the Majesty of the Empire that they would d●sist and do nothing to the prejudice and dishonour of their Masters Not withstanding this remonstrance The Treaty was so effectually carryed on by the vigorous endeavous of Sir L●onel Jenkins as the Peace was on all sides conclued The next day being the 4th of Februarie P●ace between the Emperor and France February 5th 1679. and Peace ●●h ●weden the 7th the Embassadors of Denmark and Brandenburg enter a Solemn Protestation against that separate Peace Notwithstanding of this all the Emb●ssadors signed it the day after being the 5th of February 1679 And within two dayes after the Peace between the Emperor and the King of Sweden was agreed and concluded on I find no particular mention of the Articles between the Emperor and France On the 24th of February The French Embassador declared to Sir Lionel Jenkins that if Denmark and Brandenburg did not give full satisfaction to the King of Sweden before the last of March the French King would be free to demand new Conditions of them whi●h perhaps would not please them Cessation of Armies ●ill the 1st of May and after to the 19th Some days are spent in Consultations and Debates about this Affair but to no purpose but at last the English Mediator and the Confederate Embassadors procured a Cessation of Arms till the 1st of Mars which time expireing and no agreement made the French Troops were ready to pass the Rhine and prosecute the War But the Embassador of Brandenburg and General Spaen who commanded his Forces on the Rhine obtaining a Meeting with Monsieur Colbert and Monsieur ●alvo who commanded the French Forces at Santhen on the third of May got the Cessation prorouged to the 19 And on the 16 of May the Elector of Brandenburg wrote to the French King in such an excellent strain as I thought it worth my pains to Extract it verbatim A LETTER from the Elector of Brandenburg to the French King May the 16th 1679.

without who came to releive it but could only stand spectators of the brave Action But none can pretend to so much Glory from t●is Conquest as the King of Great B●●ta●● under whose conduct and direction all was happily A●chieved the Confederats lost at the Seige between fifteen and twenty thousand And the French about two thirds of that numb●r The Ar●i●l●s being Signed and the Confederats having tak●n Poss●ssion of the C●●orne all things were prepared for a Triumphant volley of Cannon and smal shot A Triumphant ●ol lay of shot the M●n being all disperst to their several posts along their Retrenchments The confusion of the 〈◊〉 an● noise from so many different places was very agreeable and delightful and the Triple discharge of the smal shot seemed to be but one of a long continu●nce On the 2● of August Mareschal de Boufflers and his Men marched out of the Castle in very decent order The King and the Duke of Bavaria on Horse back stood before the breach and viewed them passing by Boufflers arrested whom B●ufflers and Guiscard saluted with their Swords But Boufflers had not marched far till he was arrested in the Kings name by ●●etang a Brigg●dier of the life Guard at which he stormed extremely but Monsieur Dickvelt told him tho reason was his Masters infraction of the Capitulations made at Dixmude and Deimse and that the King was resolved to detaine him as a pledge till his Men were released by the French King conform to that Treaty Boufflers giving his Master an account of this And released the Prisoners are enlarged soon after by the French and so Boufflers is released And with this we conclud● the Campaign in Flanders for this year SECT 3 Sect. 3 In the beginning of this Campaign the Spaniards handled the French pretty roughly for first The Spaniards worst the French in 2 or 3 reincounters they attacked a Detachment of French marching from Bagnoles to Gironne and routed them And soon after hearing that St. Sylvester was on his march with eight thousand Men and three or four hundred mules loaden with provisions for the releif of Castle Follet they attacked him with so much courage as they routed him killed above two thousand and took above five or six hundred Prisoners and all the mules but about thirty who got into the Castle during the heat of the Fight which lasted about 6 hours And presently after this they routed another Detachment of French marching from Pras de Melo to joyn Sylvester and his eight thousand lately beaten Yet for all this they could not carry Castle Follet which they had blockaded so long No nor Palamos either tho invested by Sea by Admiral Russel at the same time they Beseiged it at Land for hearing that Vendosme was on his march to releive it they withdrew their Forces and left it On the Rhine nothing considerable hapned this Campaign About the middle of June Savoy the Confederat Forces Beseiged Casal Casal Beseiged by the Duke of Savoy being Blocked up by them for a long time before and carried on the Seige with great industrie till the 10 of July and the Beseiged finding then that they had all things prepared for a general assault which they durst not abide they beat a Parly and so making the best conditions they could An● surrendered to the Confederats surrendered it the next day The Duke of Savoy valued himself much upon the Reduction of this place and gave account of the same to the States of Holland by his Letter In the conclusion whereof he gives them new assurance of his adherence to the Confederacy which how he performed ye will find in the Occurrences of the next year Sect. 4 The death of Sultan Ackmet This year on the 27 of Janiuary dyed Sultan Ackmet at Adrianople To whom Succeded Mustapha Son to Mahomet the 4th who had been deposed Mustapha made Sultan This Mustapha proved to be a more active Prince than any who had swayed the Ottoman Scepter of a long time The Imperial Court hearing of this began to consider of a fit person to oppose to this sprightly young Prince Hungary and condescended on the Elector of Saxony Saxony made General of the Emperours Army The Emperour gives him the Sole command of his Army in Hungary as the Elector of Bavaria formerly had Saxony obliging himself to bring eight thousand of his own Troops into the Feild In the beginning of July the Grand Signior comes in person to B●lgrade together with his whole Army Saxony being Encamped near Peter Waradin The Sultan thought it not safe to attack Saxony in his Camp Lippa taken by the Turks And Titul But rather than be idle he Beseiges Lippa which held out stoutly for a while but being over powered by numbers it was taken by Storm and all the Garison put to the Sword Then he attacked the Fortresse of Titull which being not Tenable was surrendred upon Articles which were not truely performed to them the Command●r of the Garison and Palsies Batalion being sent Prisoners to Belgrade The Duke of Saxony finding the Turks main aime to be on Transilvania took his march with the main Body of his Army thitherward intending to joyn General Veterans then in Transilvania with eight thousand Men only but the Su●tan prevented his design by sending a Body of near forty thousand Men to attack Veterans before Saxony could joyn him which they did on the 21 of September and engaging Veterans's smal partie near Lugos after a sharp conflict for 5 hours defeated him killed himself and three thousand of his Men Battle of Lugos the rest making their retreat into Cara●s●hes But this Victory coast the Turks dear for they lost above six thousand in that Fight General Veterani killed and 3000 Germans And the Grand Signior judging of the Lion by his paw had no great stomach to venture a Battle with the Imperial Army when he saw a handful of them make such havock of a great Body of his And so contenting himself with this dear bought Victory and the taking of Lippa he resolved on reteiring into Winter Quarters as did the Germans also where we leave them SECT 5. Sect. 5 The Venetians were proud of their Conquest of Scio the last year Venice but the Turks recovered it this Year without any loss or opposition Scio regain'd by the Turks by the ill Conduct of Zeno the Venetian General for which he is degraded with disgrace and the Noble Alexander Molino put in his place But the Turks had not so good success in the Morea for Ibrahim Serasquier of Negropont entering that Country with Twenty thousand Men and advanceing as far as Argos General Steinau Battle
