the Sea-side The Sieur de Lascaris Nephew of the great Master of Malta whom I had sent to him took in the City of Fondi and this little body of an Army became considerable enough to be master of the Field and in such a manner block the Town and Castle of Gaeta that it cut off its correspondence with the rest of the Kingdom and prevented its receiving any more succors by land Pietro Crescentio with seven or eight hundred men he had drawn together assaulted Montefusculo the Capital City of the Province that bears that name and Seat of a President which is the title they give to governors of Provinces whom he forced to quit it and took it in a very short time his troops augmenting from day to day Sabato Pastore gave me advice from Apulia that he was so strong that nothing could resist him in the field from executing some considerable design and I sent him order to march streight to the City of Fogia a place famous for its fare worth six hundred thousand Crowns revenue which consists only in the Toll of Cattle which pass the Winter in the Plains of Apulia and in the Summer go to seek their Pasture in the Mountains of Abruzzo of this he possessed himself in a very few days and afterwards of the Cities of Luscietae and Troia In one part of Calabria Trussardo having made himself strong began to be feared and forced some places of importance that made difficulty of declaring with us and another part of the same Province demanded a Commander in Chief and some French Officer with him I sent a young advocate called Paris a man of resolution and vigor accompanied by the Sieur de la Serre who was no less successful than others that in other places fought under my Commissions In Basilicata and the land of Barri the Earl of Vallio and Matheo Christiano drawing people together made considerable Conquests amongst others of Altamura Matera Gravina Cassano and Bitento The Banditi began also to stir in Abruzzo and many persons sent to desire Commissions of me The success of my own men was no less fortunate but as it arrived latter I deferre it to be spoken of in its time The Spaniards daily receiving so bad news began seriously to apprehend their ruin seeing all things succeed so happily with me that I effected whatsoever I undertook and imagined they could no longer put confidence in the Nobility with whom they were jealous I had a very good understanding and particular correspondence To confirm them more in this opinion the Duke of Vairana casting off his disguise sent to desire of me a Commission for Camp-master General in the Country of Lavoro bordering on the Popes territory The Duke of Vieteri whose lands lie near Salerno did not see how he could preserve them without joyning with me and arrived about this time at Naples to assure me of his service and obedience Many other persons of high Birth and the most wealthy of the Kingdom whose names it would be too tedious to particularise here having withdrawn themselves into the City of Benevento sent expressly to complement me in very obliging terms which the Spaniards most vehemently resented I thought I was not to continue idle my self and drawing troops together in the City whom I caused to be met by the Militias of Nocera and la Cava sent to attack the Greek Tower which the Enemy had regained from us it was taken in four and twenty hours and from thence I sent to besiege the Castle of the Annunciation giving the command of that Leager to Colonel Melloni The Spaniards sending to its assistance the Galley of Saint Francis the slaves that were in it revolted took the Captain prisoner and ran it ashore in the place where three days before that of Teresia had done the same thing This Castle held out three days which resistance vexing me I resolved to go thither in person but at my arrival found the enemy had abandoned it in the night Having taken the Annunciato I recalled the troops that had besieged it to send them away the next day to attempt Castelamare by which the Spaniards received their Provisions not getting any thing from Capua and Gaeta being so unprovided that from thence nothing could be expected But Melloni being very necessary in Naples where he did the duty of Camp-master General being the eldest of our Officers I gave this imployment to the Sieur de Cerisantes a French Commander having been desired of me He took upon him the conduct of this little body which being drawn up ready for march mutinied and demanded Mony I sent to promise it and appease the disorder but the Souldiers forgot their respect for him threatning to kill him if he pressed them any farther He came to acquaint me with it that I might redress it I went immediately and perceived the mutiniers at my coming up to them blow and cock their matches who preparing to fire upon me presented their Musquets I fiercely demanded who they were that distrusted my Promise and refused to obey me One of them first answered that he was one and the rest generally did instantly the like I spurred right up to him and running my sword through his body killed him Are there any more said I desirous of dying by my hand a Camerade of the others said Yes he was I replyed You deserve it not but shall suffer that of the Hang-man and seising upon him caused him to be disarmed and his Confession taken by the Regiments Chaplain made him be instantly hanged on a tree The rest astonished at my Resolution layed down their arms and begged pardon I then commanded them to march and shewing them Money that I had brought for them told them that as a punishment for their disobedience they should receive none in three days After which I went along with them a quarter of a League and then returned to the Town where I drew out some men to seise la Cerra a Pass of very great Concernment to us and ordered Paul of Naples to attacque the Town of Nola which yielded in few days sending to make capitulations with me which the said Paul of Naples did not observe for which as well as for his many other crimes he was sometime after punished Gennaro and Vincenzo uniting made use of this favourable conjuncture to set on foot the most dangerous encumbrance I met with whilest I was at Naples from which having freed my self with vigour and address I drew such advantage from it as augmented my reputation They cherished underhand the aversion the rascallity had for the better sort of Citizens and civiler people who by reason of the insolencies suffered from them justly hated them The later of these by whom the greatest part of the Virgins suburbs was inhabited were called black Cloakes and the ordinary sort of people took the name of Lazares at the beginning of the Revolutions as the Revolters in Flanders formerly had done
