seruice in lieu of them We learne from France that the Duke of Momorancy is gathering great forces against the Protestants of France and that he is appointed to besiege the Towne of Nimis in which the Duke of Rohan is in person As likewise that they make there great warlike preparations by water against the English Moreouer that the English haue slaine and throwne ouerboard many French men and souldiers that were bound for the Iland of St. Martin From Dansicke the 7. of September On the 24 of August after dinner time went the Duke of Holstein into the field to looke out for a conuenient place to inquarter his leger which is separated from that of the Polonians to whom are likewise ioyned the Forces of the two Commanders named Dohnhof●r On the 29 of August about the euening came the King of Poland with many men of note and his Courtiers and followers into this City and was with great state and pompe fetcht into it by our Citizens and well entertained afterwards by our Magistrates The day before were the Ambassadours of the States Generall of the Vnited Prouinces of the Low-Counties which labour very earnestly to make peace betwixt Poland and Sweden gone towards the Polon●an Generall of the Field On the first of September went the King of Poland to see and to view our walls and all our sconces and works round about this City and especially the new raised sconce which the souldiers cal commonly Schenke-sconce by reason of the strength of it and at the same time there were 44 peeces of ordnance discharged besides many muskets both by water and land The King liking these workes exceedingly well reioyced much at it and commended much to his Lords the endeauors and faithfulnesse of the Dansickers saying that they had well laboured and were his loyall seruants and that they had not done as they of Elbingen and others On the second of September went the King of Poland with the Prince his sonne and diuers great Lords besides our Burgemasters and some of our Aldermen early in the morning toward the Fort which is called Weichselmundt and when they had viewed there all things very well our Magistrates did feast very stately both the King and his followers and about the euening there were many pieces of ordnance discharged both in the 12 Ships which lay thereabout and in the Sconces And it happened that about the same time that a Galley of the King of Poland being put to Sea to try whether it could well sayle it encountred with a Swedish ship and had a pretty combat both with it and 3 other for a little while which were afterwards cruelly battered by our ordnance which lay in a sconce neere which the Swedish followed the said Gally The said King hauing seene this sport with contentment returned the same euening againe to the said City and departed from thence on the 4 of this moneth three Postes being sent to him and went directly towards his Army In the weeke which is last past were the Ambassadors together and the Polonians were to propound some articles of peace betwixt Poland and Sweden From Brunswicke the 2 of October We haue nor as yet any other newes from the Deputations day which is appointed to be kept at Mulhowsen but that diuers Ambassadors as of the Emperor Electors Princes and States of the Empire are gone thitherward They of Wolfenbuttel although they are very close imblocked sally neuerthelesse daily forth and slue few dayes agoe many Imperiall souldiers and husbandmen that would stop the water which runneth to the sayd Towne The Towne of Newburg or the Gouernor of it namely the Colonell Limbach hath offered to surrender it vpon certaine conditions to the Duke of Lunnenburg and amongst the rest that the Emperour should grant a generall pardon to them that are in it But if that be refused he will blow vp the said Towne and ruine all that is therein From Verden the 8 of October Both the Imperiall and Danish souldiers make themselues daily stronger and stronger in this Bishopricke The Danish hauing raised a strong sconce at Borcht to maintaine themselues there they haue fired the Towne of Verden and burned it quite to the ground From Newburg we heare no newes seeing that the said Towne being now very strictly besieged the Posts which come from Cullen haue altered their passage and trauelled by the way of Newstadt But it is thought that it shall be surrendred if the Gouernor of it can obtaine a pardon of the Emperor seeing that he hath had it twice before The Imperialists make great warlike preparations to beat the Danish quite out of the Bishopricke of Bremen of which we shall shortly heare more From Stoade the 7 of October This Towne is replenished with Danish Souldiers but they are in great feare seeing that the Imperialists strengthen themselues daily in those parts Our Bishop who is now at Lubecke as likewise the Imperiall Ambassadors which are yet at Hamburg exhort the States of these Lands that they will remember the oath which they haue made to the Emperor The Danish lye yet intrenched neere Crimpen and Lukestadt and we haue not heard that there hath lately any thing of moment beene done by the Imperialists or Danish From Pinnenberg the 10 of October We haue not as yet learned any certaintie how it standeth with Rensburg and with the Imperiall Campe but we expect it daily The Generall Tilly is gone from Lawenburg towards Winsen which is a Castle of the Duke of Lunnenburg FINIS
A true Report of all the speciall Passages of note lately happened in the I le of Roe betwixt the Lord Duke of Buckingham his Grace Generall for the King of England and Monsieur Thorax Gouernour of the Fort in the said Ile as also betwixt the Duke and the French King likewise the present state of the Rochellers and of the Kings Armie lying before it Numb 40. The Continuation of our vveekly Newes from the 24. of October to the 2. of Nouember Containing amongst the rest these speciall particulars following Vnto which is added Newes from Germany France and diuers parts of Christendome The warlike proceedings of the Imperialists and Danish The Treatie of Peace betwixt Poland and Sweden The Emperours Iourney towards Prage Besides diuers other matters of moment Printed by Authoritie LONDON Printed for Nathaniell Butter 1627. 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
