ORdered by the Commons in Parliament That these Letters be forthwith printed and published H Elsynge Cler. Parl. D. Com. Printed for Edw. Husbands Febr. 14. 1643. To the Right Honourable the Lord DIGBIE Principall Secretarie of State and one of the Lords of his Majesties most Honourable Privie Councell c. At Court Right Honorable and my very good Lord TO clear the doubt and different reports were here spread of the Duke of Holsteins agreement with Feildmarshall Tortenson whereof my last weekes made mention we have now certaine advertisement that this Prince hath accorded to give one hundred thousand Dollers to free his own Countrey and people Ditmarsh being exempted and the Gentry also within his jurisdiction for these are to be holden unto a like contribution and treatment as the rest of the Gentry of Holstein in that part thereof which belongs to the King of Denmarke And as for this Dukes two Regiments they are disbanded part of them being taken on by the Swedes part into the King of Denmarks service and these last sent away for Gluckstadt As I guessed by my last so is it already fallen out with Kremper Marsh Wilster Marsh and Ditmarsh for all these lower Lands neere the Elve and West Sea this frosty weather are fallen into the hands of the Swedes Armie 150. of the Paysans with some Souldiers being there slaine and 300. more taken prisoners that made resistance and all these places will doubtlesse fare the worse because they refused Tortenson entrance when he first required it both by message and writing Yesterday by an expresse I received a letter my self from Colonell Dowglas who as Major Generall commands the left wing of the Swedes Armie in these words Viz. The ninth of this moneth we have begun our wars very fortunatly here in Juitland in respect we did encounter the whole Cavalerie of the Danes in these parts who were twelve hundred horse strong of the best mounted manly-like-men that ever I did see a mile on this side Colding and beate them so as that there did not 200. come into their Leaguer the most part of their Officers killed and their Principalls taken prisoners as Lievtenant Colonell Bockwald who commanded them Ritmeister Ulfild Ritmeister Luke and divers other Ritmeisters Lieutenants and under Officers we are now lying here in the Dorpes about the King of Denmarks Foot which lyes in a retrenched Leaguer on this side of the Belt over against Middleford in Funen they are esteemed 7 or 8 thousand strong but more then the half part miserable poore Bawres we are about an exploit which if it effectuate will make us a good warre Thus far he Now this day here is fresh newes come that the Swedes with their Ordnance were since advanced before this Leaguer and that after they had Canoncerd upon it a while and that the Danes saw them ready to make a faire assault upon them they threw down their Armes and cryed out for Quarter the Marshall of Denmarke Andreas Bilke who Commanded in chiefe seeing themselves too weake to oppose the Swedes tooke away their Colours Ordnance chief Officers and as many of the best common Souldiers as so short time would give him leave and escaped therewith by small shipping into Funen yet left behinde them sundry Captaines and under Officers besides all their Horses and foure thousand five hundred Foot men whereof one thousand old Souldiers and therewith many of the Bawres or Paysons also willingly ranged themselves amongst the Swedes Troupes the rest after the Souldiers had stripped them of their best cloths were sent away unto their homes This is the effect of a Letter sent unto this Town which was written by Tortenson himself who added hereunto that by this generall defeate of the Danish Forces both Horse and Foot he accounted the whole Continent on this side the Belt to be as good as in their Possession and this letter of his I my self have seen bearing date at Middleford Skonce the 14. of this moneth What the King of Denmark doth in Zealand Funen or Schonen we know not more then in generall that he maketh all the preparation for the wars that he can for all the Passages out of Denmark are stopped so that we can have no certaine Intelligence from thence as yet It hath been rumoured here abroad al this week that the States of Denmark and Sweden were treating together upon the borders of both Kingdomes and such advertisement was brought also unto the Chancellour of Denmark who is yet here as I had it from himself But Lowis de Geere a man of good account and at this time employed from the Crown of Sweden for Holland arrived here yesterday affirming that himself came by shipping from Calmar being not far off the borders the 12. of this moneth and that then there was neither any such meeting nor yet any speech thereof but that Fieldmarshall Gustavius Horn had 20. thousand men on Foote and was with them to march into Denmark the 20. of this moneth The Chancellour aforesaid faith the King of Denmark hath in Schonen already 13. or 14. thousand men to make head against the Swedes there and that 18 thousand more are shortly to come out of Norwegen but these being for the most part Paysans not injured to the wars it is to be feared that they will not be able to withstand the fierce irruptions of the Swedes Armies especially seeing these last have had already such successe in their enterprises on this side the Belt The Chancellour also let me understand that the King his Master hath lately sent unto him and the rest of his Colleagues at Osnabrugge his Letters of revocation requiring them to come away from thence with all expedition So what will become of the generall Treaties when they are departed we shall see ere long at least whither they will goe forward or not We have nothing this weeke of the Imperiall Army above in High Germanie save onely that they have betaken themselves into their Winter Quarters And this being what this week affords I humbly take leave and remaine ever Your Lordships most humble and most faithfull Servant J. Avery Hambrough the 19 29 Ian. Anno 1644. To the Right Honourable Sr. Thomas Rowe Knight Chancelour of the most Noble Order of the Garter and one of the Lords of his Majesties most honourable Privie Councel c. LONDON Or elsewhere Right Honourable c. I Am told this day that Fieldmarshall Tortenson hath given the Lordship of Wandesbeck belonging to Count Pentz and scituate within two English miles of this town unto one whom the Officers call here The Swedes Agent and that hee hath already taken possession thereof this seeming to argue what minde the Swedes beare when they thus begin to dispose of places in Holstein as of a conquered Countrey From Dansick the Hollands Resident writes of newes to be arrived there out of Moravia that the Emperours towns in Hungaria have declared Ragotzy for an Enemy that he hath an Army on foot of above 30. thousand men and that the Turke will joyn unto them 24000. more to make war against the Emperour sure it is that he hath received monies from the crown of Sweden and France both and this makes many to conjecture that the Emperour will have work enough for his Armies above in the Countrey and that the Swedes will have no disturbance from thence unto their proceedings in these parts others conceive that the Crown of Sweden have a purpose to make a particular peace with the Emperour that they may the better intend and pursue their new begun warre against the King of Denmark and it is written from Leipsick that they have a conference about this time with the Imperialists at Fridburg in Lusatia about a truce a little more time will give us more light to judge of the weight of these conjectures but in the mean time the Landgravin of Hessen hath sent a principall Minister of Hers to expostulate with Tortenson for drawing away all his forces so far off from assisting of Hers and for beginning of this new war to stirr up more enemies against themselves and their Allyes This being what this week affords I humbly kisse your hands and remain Your Honours most humble and most faithfull Servant I.
