when his Majesty had News from all parts of the motions of the Prince of Orange to joyn his Troops with those of the Spaniards with design to oppos● his Majesties undertakings Bu● that great Monarch not us'd to qui● his delicious Palaces to end 〈◊〉 Campagne by the taking of on● Town how important soever doubled the surprize and astonishment of the World by pouring his Forces upon Cambray the same which the Emperour Charles the Fifth had fortifi'd with so much care and expence the last Age to heighter the Trophies of that Great that Wise and Generous King though the Emperour when he fortifi'd it design'd it the Bull-wark of the Low-Countries and Cittadel of France as the Spaniards in the late times called it While the greatest part of Europe was differently concern'd for so famous a Siege S. Aubin was busie in the service of his General with extraordinary assiduity and care far beyond the usual rate of Ayds de Camp which the Marshal de Luxembourg so well approv'd of that he chose to imploy him before any other The City of Cambray being reduc'd to capitulate the Governour before he would retire into the Cittadel desir'd some favour the particulars I know not in behalf of the Wives of the principal Officers Mounsieur de Luxembourg being upon the service of the day in the Trenches and concern'd in that Negotiation sent S. Aubin to Complement the Ladies from him He entred the City for that purpose and having learnt that several of these Women were retir'd into a Monastery he went thither and seeing two or three amongst them to whom all the rest paid extraordinary respect he made up to them to speak to them He had scarce begun but he perceiv'd he spoke to the Countess de Benavidez who had follow'd her Husband to Cambray where his Regiment was S. Aubin though surpriz'd at the sight of her endeavour'd to recover himself and would have made an end of his Complement But the Countess who presently knew him would not give him time but imbrac'd him with such a transport as scandaliz'd the Company this Lady who always lov'd S. Aubin having then forgot her Jealousie that made her hate Christina They spent some time in private discourse and S. Aubin having told her what great reason he had to complain of the Marquess de Osseyra the Countess who had so great a hand in setting them at variance was glad at the heart to hear the News and pretending her self much concern'd for her pray'd her to shew her the quarrelling Letter he had injuriously sent her S. Aubin having torn it could not satisfie her desire but told her the substance of it assuring her it had occasion'd her taking Arms afresh with a resolution not to entertain any passion but for Honour and Renown The Countess would gladly have continued this discourse but fearing the Company would take it ill she put an end to it telling them this Gentleman having been Prisoner the last year at Brussels had done her the Honour to visit her often S. Aubin having confirm'd what the Countess had said retir'd having offer'd them all the service in his power to obtain the favour they desir'd which he perform'd so well that the Ladies were satisfi'd and gave him thanks by Letter The King desirous his Subjects of the Province of Boulonnois might be eas'd of the continual Incursions of the Garrison of S. Omer and by his reducing that place might injoy the redress his Majesty intended Picardy by the taking of Cambray and the quiet all the rest of the Provinces of his Realm are blest with in the heat of War his Majesty ordered a Body of an Army to be formed under the Command of his Worthy Brother for besieging S. Omer the same time he lay before Cambray This Enterprize appear'd so great that Strangers doubted the success and the Spaniards who very well knew the strength of those places and how well they were provided of necessaries for a long resistance made no great haste at first to send their Succours But frighten'd by the example of Valenciennes they us'd extraordinary diligence to joyn their Troops to those of the Prince of Orange in order to raising the Siege of S. Omer The King having notice of their motions and foreseeing their design made a Detachment out of his Army which he sent under the Command of Mounsieur de Luxembourg in aid of the Duke of Orleans before S. Omer While Mounsieur de Luxembourg was conducting his Detachment with his usual activity and vigilance S. Aubin who follow'd him still and animated by the happy success of the Kings Arms and the Marshals Illustrious example fortifi'd his resolution of continuing in Arms had by his diligence so far gain'd the esteem of his General that he took particular notice of him and imploy'd him on all remarkable occasions This drew on S. Aubin the envy of his Comrades particularly a young Gentlemans whose other good qualities prevail with me to conceal his right Name and to give him that of Richmond This young Gentleman jealous of the kind usage S. Aubin received from the General Officers and looking on him as an Upstart and a very raw Souldier let fall on several occasions some sharp language against him S. Aubin who was naturally good-humour'd and had a very insinuating way perceiving his disgust endeavour'd to gain him by fair means Courting him every day and omitting nothing that might oblige him to answer his kindness by some evidence of affection Richmond had the ill nature to attribute S. Aubin's Civilities and obliging Carriage to his weakness and fear of quarrelling him This made him more insolent so that he purposely affronted him on several occasions reproaching him often with his Womans Face and telling him a Martial-soul seldom lodg'd in so delicate a body S. Aubin finding himself touch'd in so nice a point could not forbear blushing at his reproaches but willing to decline the noyse of a quarrel endeavour'd to put off all with a Jest which did but incourage Richmond to be worse than before At last S. Aubin urg'd by frequent persecutions and sensible he could no longer conceal his resentment without exposing himself to continual affronts he took his time to find him alone and tell him he was a-weary of his Raileries nor would endure them any longer but pray'd him once for all to put an end to them otherwise he should be oblig'd to let him see he knew how to revenge himself though unacquainted with the ways of giving affronts Richmond made small account of this discourse but fell again to his old way of Jeering S. Aubin met him one day on his march and taking his Pistol in his hand told him he was now resolv'd to keep his word with him Richmond having put himself in a posture of defence S. Aubin discharging his Pistol wounded him in the arm he held his Pistol by Richmond being disabled S. Aubin making use of his advantage laid his other

he was for having found her again in so extraordinary a manner when he call'd to mind he had given her cause of offence it almost distracted him and not able to indure the misery of that condition he beg'd her pardon in terms so submissively passionate that it was readily granted him before explication made of the mystery of the Letter which had caus'd that disorder They had scarce understood one another but they found themselves hemm'd in by a Body of Spanish Horse which the Duke of Montalto had sent to rescue his Friend out of the hands of the French The Marquess was so full of Idea's of Love and appear'd so little concern'd for a liberty he was no longer Master of that he was not yet sensible of his good fortune when the Duke of Montalto who had given him up for dead or a Prisoner imbrac'd him with all the marks of joy a true Friend could express on such an occasion The Duke seeing him out of humour and musing imputed it to the ill success of their Enterprize and thinking to comfort him said their loss was not so great perhaps as they fear'd it on the sudden and assur'd him they had taken a considerable number of Prisoners He observ'd in the mean time the Marquess had his eye fixt on S. Aubin which obliged the Duke to advise him to send away that Prisoner with the rest and not trouble himself with taking charge of him I owe my life and my liberty says the Marquess to his Generosity but these are the least of my Obligations to him and the weakest reasons I have to share fortunes with him and then judge you what reason I have to see him well us'd This discourse awaken'd the curiosity of the Duke and made him look more earnestly than before on S. Aubin whom after a short view he knew to be the fair Christina he had seen at Brussels and was no stranger to her extraordinary Adventures He gave his Friend joy of his good fortune and being well acquainted with the passion he had for her he easily imagin'd they had many things to say to one another and discreetly retreated on pretence of fetching up the Straglers of his Troops Though the day of the loss of a Battel may be thought a time very improper for a General Officer to busie himself with matters of Love the Marquess could not forbear entring into a large discourse to clear all misunderstandings between him and his Mistress After a thousand reciprocal assurances of loving one another for ever Christina represented to him the inconveniences she expos'd her self to by being discover'd by several Officers as she had been by the Duke de Montalto and made him so sensible of the injury it would do them both and what a trouble it would be to her to be the subject of discourse for a whole Army that the Marquess perswaded by so convincing reasons consented at last she should return to the French Camp having faithfully promis'd him she would presently retire to Paris quit an imployment so unsuitable to her Sex and put her self into a Covent till the end of the Campagne and that she would then marry him it being her desire to delay it so long that she might do it with more decency The Marquess in Person guarded her as far as he could and then ordered a Trumpet to bring her safe into the Camp The General was in pain for S. Aubin when he arriv'd and had sent into several Quarters to inquire what was become of him He told him he had had the misfortune to be taken Prisoner and that he was let go upon his Parol Mounsieur de Luxembourg believ'd him and promis'd to send the Spaniards a Prisoner in Exchange The morrow after the Battel Mounsieur to make his Victory compleat by taking S. Omer return'd to his Camp before the place and press'd it so vigorously that they were glad to Capitulate before he was Master of the Counterscarp And S. Aubin had the pleasure to be in imployment about his General the day the place was surrendred as he had been at the taking of Valenciennes and Cambray Mounsieur de Luxembourg having had the good Fortune to Command the service of the day when every of those places was surrendred Three of the most considerable places of the Low-Countries reduc'd under the Kings Obedience a great Battel won wherein the Forces of two great Potentates were defeated and all this in the height of Winter and in less than six Weeks time are Prodigies Posterity will have scarce Faith to believe Yet hardly any were surpriz'd at the News though very surprizing all who had heard of the Kings Marching in February having expected Actions altogether extraordinary And we may truly say of him he hath taught the World not to be amaz'd at his extraordinary performances His Enemies do him right in that particular The Court of Spain was in some Consternation at the News the wise Prince who is Prime Minister there having heard some Grandees speak of it with surprize and attributing the success of the Kings Arms to his good Fortune interrupted their discourse to tell them his success depended more on his Conduct and Merit than on his good Fortune When S. Omer's was taken the King put his Troops into Quarters of Refreshment until the ordinary season for drawing them into the Field And most of the General Officers went to taste the Pleasures of Paris The Marshal of Luxembourg being of the number S. Aubin to perform the Promise made to the Marquess would not lose so favourable an occasion of accompanying the Marshal to Paris He found himself by the way ingag'd in an Adventure extraordinary as those he had formerly met with The Duke of Luxembourg and Count Louvigny going together for Paris the Baron d' Angosse who has a dependance upon the Count having in their March taken notice of S. Aubin's Countenance thought he had seen him but could not remember the time or the place He took occasion one day to tell him h● had seen him before S. Aubin 〈◊〉 at it made d' Angosse 〈◊〉 inquisitive Having rack'd his memory a good while he be thought himself at last this Ayd d' Camp had the Ayr of a Man he had seen at Mounsieur Strasburg's at a Ball the year before whom he had taken for Madamoiselle de Meyrac the only thing that puzl'd him was that Man was a Fleming and the Duke of Luxembourg's People assur'd him this was a Frenchman and had served among the Musqueteers This put him upon a second address to S. Aubin to pray him to tell him seriously if he was not the same Person who was in Maids habit when he mistook him for a Gentlewoman of Bearn S. Aubin perplex'd to find him so closely and busily curious thought it better confess he had been disguiz'd in Maids Cloaths than give him occasion to discover he had been disguiz'd in Mans Apparel D' Angosse having learnt what he so much long'd to know told him they might have very good sport when they came to Paris and that if he would but put on Womans Cloaths he should easily pass for Madamoiselle de Meyrac by the help he would give him to put a Trick on his Countrymen which would be excellent divertisement S. Aubin promis'd him all he desir'd both arriv'd at Paris extremely well satisfied D' Angosse tickled with the Conceit of his Projects and S. Aubin glad at heart to get rid of his Importunities FINIS New Books Printed and sold by J. Magnes and R. Bentley French Books L' Heureux Esclave in 3 Tomes 3 s. Galand Escrock 12 d.
