confirmed how true wee know not that Prince Thomas of Savoy is agreed with the French K. is expected at Paris within few dayes and the Cardinall of Savoy is likewise treating his agreement with the French The Count of Harcourt is expected at Paris every houre many Nobles and Gentlemen are to meet him in the way From Spaine is confirmed that the Marquesse de Terracusa hath defeated some Troopes of the French and Catalonians and afterwards befeiged the City of Terragona some will say that hee hath brought againe the said City under the King of Spains subjection From Lyon of the 5. 15. of Decem. they write that the Catalonians and French after many affaults had taken the citie of Tortosa and that on both sides were lost about 4000 men amongst which was the Lieutenant of Monsieur d'Espinan They confirme also that the common people at Barcellona have killed divers great men which took yet the King of Spaines part wherupon the Castillians have fallen upon som Catalonians in Perpignano pillaged their houses killed the men and chased their wives and children stark naked out of the Citie Collen the 27. of Decemb. the 6. of Ianuarie Field Marshall Hatzfeld his Troops which lye hereabouts intended to take their quarter in the little citie of Munch Gladbach but a company of the Duke of Newburg his Souldiers which lies there in Garrison hath beaten off the Imperialists by force wherefore the Imperiall Colonell Sparre who lyes at Mulheim is gone against it with three thousand men but the besieged defend themselves not withstanding stoutly and with their shooting doe great harme amongst the Imperialists and have killed already divers high Officers and many common Souldiers The Imperiall Colonell Count of Ridberg who hath served these many yeares under the Emperour died here in this Citie An Extract of a Letter from the Hague the 31. of Decemb. the 10. of Ian. With the last letters from Emden wee have no other newes but that the Prince Electour Palatine was yet there from whence hee intended to goe to Gluckstat thinking that the King of Denmark was there but understanding that the King was at Coldingen he resolved to goe the next day after with Count Volmar the Kings naturall son to Coldingen We have in these parts such a frost that almost all the rivers are frozen over so that men and horses can goe over the ice without danger Franckford the 3. 13. of Ianuarie It is confirmed from all places that Generall Bannier with the most part of his Army is arrived about Hoffe and Plan wherefore speedy order is given that nine Bavarian Regiments and divers other Imperiall Regiments which are nearest at hand shall march with all speed towards Erga to secure that passage and to all other Regiments that lye enquartered here abouts in the Lower Palatinate Wirtenberg Franconia Swaben Mentz and other parts is likewise given speedy order to draw together from all places and make head against Generall Bannier but seeing the Imperiall Souldiers have been so tired out and weakened they have no great mind to it and are verie unwilling to forsake their quarters especially in this cold frosty weather and doubtlesse many will run away before they come to the Randevouz and albeit the Emperour sees himselfe now so weakened and withall the whole Empire so wasted and ruinated and in a most miserable state and condition yet notwithstanding wee heare not the least motion of any peace but most men beleeve that Bannier when he comes now into Bavaria will perswade them with stronger arguments to change their minds An Extract of a Letter from Norimberg the 1. 11. of Ianuarie It is most certaine that Generall Bannier is passed with his whole Army by Hoffe and Plan himselfe in person hath beene in the strong Fort and Castle of Pleissenberg neare Culinbach where hee left his Lady and himselfe followeth the Army being above 30000 strong no question but hee hath some great designe in hand because hee makes such haste in his march The King of Denmark having tryed all meanes and sent sundry letters to the Imperiall Dyet held at Ratisbone to perswade the Emperour States and Peeres if it were possible to conclude an universall peace thorowout the whole Empire but having understood now that the Protestant States and Peeres there could not prevaile with the Emperour and Prelates that a constant peace might be concluded hath sent another to the Protestant States and Peeres wherein he intimated unto them that in case the said Prelates would continue to stand thus upon their owne heads and not conclude a peace they would force him to take another resolution and to joyn againe with his old Confederates to try whether they joyntly could procure what hitherto hath been refused The Emperour and Prelates having heard of that letter used the Protestant States and Peeres more kindly than formerly and wee hope that this will moderate matters so that we shall againe heare of some proposition for a peace At the conclusion of this letter wee receive certaine advise that Generall Bannier hath divided his Army into three parts one part whereof he hath commanded towards Egra which Citie is already said to bee taken by the Swedes another part hee hath commanded towards the upper Palatinate some Troops whereof have beene a Gnadenberg foure Germane miles from this Citie of Norimberg where they pillaged a Cloyster the third part he hath commanded towards Franconia to hinder the Imperiall Forces of their conjunction which are summoned to draw together from all parts though the frost be never so great and they never so unwilling to march in this cold weather and in so unseasonable a time having hardly recovered themselves a little since the last march which had wearied and tired them out so much It is certaine that this unexpected and speedy comming of Generall Ba●nier causeth a great alteration and confusion amongst the Imperialists that they doe scarce know what to doe With the last letters from France they write but how certainly we know not that the Pope hath put forth in print two Buls in one whereof he confirmeth and establisheth the new crowned King of Portugall in his Throne and government In the other hee threateneth all those that shall offer the said new King in his raigne and government with excommunication They write also from thence that a great stir and confusion is likewise in Castillia and other Kingdomes of Spaine which the Duke of Medina being borne of the Spanish bloud layes claime to pretending to have proper right to it as if they would have no King more of the Germane but onely of the Spanish bloud The Imperiall Generall Iohn de Werth who was detained prisoner at Paris a great while is now sent from thence to Nancy to be exchanged for Field Marshall Gustavus Horn who comes from Ingolstat In holland are taken up for the French King some thousand Souldiers where or which way they shall be employed the next Spring wee shall heare in time The losse which the French had in Catalonia is likewise confirmed from Paris and that their Lieutenant Generall was taken prisoner and sent after promise to beare no more armes against Spaine to Biscay FINIS Jan. 19.
