FRom Spaine out of Madril is written of the 10. hereof / that the Prince Philibert of Savoyen was departed from thence / taking his waye to Divares / to depart from thence with the Galleys of the Marquis of S. Crois / with his Father and Brothers to Thurn / to handel of his Majesties part / and hath first 50 thousand Ducates of his Majesties part / and for his maintaining 60 thousand ducats. The Spanish Sea is full of Pyrots / dooing great damage.

Those Galleys / that remayned behinde at Ha­vana with the Plates of Silver are at last arri­ved at Sivile. And 7. millions of golde was pre­paring this new yeare for provision of the war­res in Germany,

From Naples is written / that the Cardinal Borgin was departed from thence to Roome / because the Cardinal Sappata was in his jour­ney to Naples as new Dice King / resolved to do there his solenme entring.

The preparations of warre / as wel in the Kingdome of Napels as in the Land of Milan / are furthered with all speede and dilegence / whereunto great provision of money frō Spaine is remitted / to what purpose or intent the King will employe / shall be knowen / as they meane / at the arrival of the Prince of Savoy / expedited with the Title of Ditarius of the Kingdome / which they saye shall have with him a Counsel / with whome hee shalk have power to resolve and do all things he shal find good / without staying for order out of Spaine.

Mons de Molausan / the Ambassadour of the King of Fraunce / is with great complements receaved of the King of Spaine / and with a good answer dispatched / and honoured with a gift of a golden chayne of 10000 Crownes.

From Mylan newes is come / that 700 thou­sand Crowns should be payed to the Gover­nour of Grnua / and his Maiestie likewise should handle with the sayde Geneveses / that they should furnish the sayde Governour with 3 mil­lions of gold. This Governour hath commaun­demenes strongly to arme. His Maiestie hath eke retained the third part of the Marchaunts of the West-Iudische Fleet / but offered for that unto them the custome of the Selt / which in that Countrey importeth 260 thousand Crowns.

At Paris is Mansieur Priuli / Ambassadour of the Denetians / very stately brought to the au­dience to whome concerning Deltlm al required help is promised.

The Lord Charles van Sherin remayneth yet heere / that hath denounced unto his Majestie in the name of the Moravish States / that first they should have a safe conduct. Secondly / a ge­neral pardon and remission. Thirdly / that into their Countrey there should not be brought men of warre. For this they offer and have presented to receive his Majestie / whereupon this resolu­tion is taken: that notwithstanding they first where not worthy / neverthelesse it should be graunted unto them / if they should shew them­selves obedient / those that have beene cause / his Majestie will not pardon / but shall be punished to an exampel of others. The men of warre should be brought into the Countrey / but none should suffer damage / but those that should withstand. Whereupon some of the States and Communs have declared themselves / but others would not trust to it / and are departed till a sure pardon be given / and therefore the whole armey is lying in Moravia / to consirayne the rebelles to obedience / and march to Brin / but some saye that 15 thousand men of warre expect them the­re. Likewise at Spalits / Olmits and other pla­ces are some thousands / that are resolved to withstande the Emperour looking yet for many 1000. to do a great expedition.

They saye yet that Moravia should be delive­red to the Maiestie / but with certaine conditions but his Maiestie will not accept them / but with condition of grace and disgrace / whereupon they have sent hither Ambassadours to further pro­ceedings / but they are taken by the waye of the Hungarians and some of them are slaine / not­withstanding they shewed Patent Letters of the Emperour / whereupon answer is given unto them / that they where arrant knaves / they have therefore written hither / that they can not come / and they meane that the Morabians with this handling seeke but to winne time / and that Bet­lem hath assisted them with 5000 men.

The Earle of Bucquoy is yet at Iglou / and the Armey of the Emperour at the siege of a strong Castle not far from Brin.

His Maiestie hath revoked againe the required Capital censure.

This Land-daye heere goeth yet forward / and his Maiestie hath sent a strong Decretum to the Earle Iohn Sigismund of Altensheym / that within the end of this moneth of December he should set af all the Lutherian Officers / and substitute Catholike in stead of them. The like should be done in the Salt-ministery / and the Book-keēping.

After the Holy dayes the Frenche Ambassa­dour is minded to take his journey to Bethlem Gabor / to make with the same an agreement / but his Maiestie should have answered / that he would neyther consent to it / nor keepe it bak­ward / but hee might do his pleasure / his Maie­stie had meanes to compel the Hungarians to obedience.

The enterprise wee had againe upon Presburg is unluckily proceeded / and with the losse of som hundred of ours fallen out / for the intelligence wee had with the Captaine was discovered be / fore our coming / and the Captaine is put in prison.

Heere is advised / that the departed King of Bohemia should marche againe to Bohemia and Saxonie / with a great number of Hungarians and other Nations / with some Turks and Tar­tarians.

The Moravians marche strongly against the Emperours Folkes / and notwithstanding that the same have taken Zuaim / they hope to recover it / because the Kinge with the Hungarians are making them strong.

The newes continueth / that the Emperours Folke by Tuglau are slaine of the Moravians.

The Duke of Bavaria hath sent already heere a Politicq Ordinance / which perhaps in this Countreys shall speedly be published / and the matter is in such state that the Countrey of the Ens for many yeares shall be conscribed / which shall cause a great altration / and as they saye the States and Communes desire of the Empe­rour to receave the Inauguration / and resolu­tion should be followed / that the said four States should consent the petition / that the Duke of Bavaria had requested in ready money. And that the Auguration then could be furthered / and because that same amounts to a great somme of money / concerning the pretension of the Duke / and that it is impossible that the States should furnish so much / therefore against our will we shall be constrained to remaine Bavarish / which is not liked of many Lords.

Som few dayes past the Folke of the Empe­rour have been at Tabor / purposing to take it in with an assault / but are driven of with the losse of 500. men. And therefore hath Monsieur Tilly written for more assistannce of men.

The Smarackes or commun people heere spe­cially in the new Cittie / have been som few dayes past very seditious / because the Garrison did not cease of saccaging / and they have slaine above 100. and did beginne themselves to saccadge / so that the Generals and others had enough to do to pacifye them.

Vpon this Land-daye is concluded / in the presence of the Ambassadours of Denmarke / Sweden and Hungaria / and the confederated Princes / to keep in the fields for the King 16000 men / and to constitute a new general / and to live and dye in this Confederation / whereupon the King should be in his journey to Brin with 16000 men / and the Earle of Thurne should be­have him very wel in Morabia / and not be arre­sted as the speech went.

The Earle of Thurne was returned with new ayde from Hungaria into Moravia with declaration and resolution that Bethlem Gabor King of Hungaria / notwithstanding the great losse / would assiste his Maiestie of Bohemia with all his power / and never forsake the Con­federation. Yea the Hungarians saye openly / that before they should submitte themselves to the House of Austria / they would rather take helpe of the Turke.

The Emperour should have manifestly decla­red / that he hath given commission to the Mar­quis Spinola / to make himselfe Maister of the whole Palts.

Both by the Emperour and Vnited Princes is great need of money / Spinola having occu­pied and taken the principal Customes / requi­ring upon penalty of burning so great chardges of money / that the meorporated Lands are not able to bring them up.

The Coronell Gray is finally with his men arrived in the Over Palts / where he shall re­mayne unto neerer commaundement.

From Coppenhaghen is written / that there was arrived the Sonne of Duke Hans from Sonderberch / Kinsman or Couzen Germaine of his Maiestie of Dennemarke / as Ambassa­dour of his Maiestie of Bohemia / is lodged upon the Castle / and should further take his Iourney to his Maieestie of Dennemarke at Frederich­bergh / his commission and petition is un­knowne.

The Nuptial Feast of his Maiestie of Swe­den / and the Koronation of the Queen is ended with good succes / it seemes that his Maiestie of Sweden is resolved to ondertake some thing against the Poole / and hath already at Stock­holme 15000 Footmen in readines.

Letters from Paris declare / that the Mari­schal Cadinet with a great suite is departed to his Maiestie of great Brittayne.

The Religious matters in Fraunce are yet of a strange showe / they hope neverthelesse that his Maiestie will direct all to the best / giving con­tentement to them of the Religion.

The Lord of Bossampiere doth not depart to Spaine from the Kings part / to restitution of the Deltolines / before the Helvetians Cantons amongst them / and they with the Grisons shall be agreed and united.
