Concerning the affayres betweene the King of Sweden and the Duke of Bavaria we haue as yet received no other certaintie but onely that the said Duke is yet considering of the Articles which were mediated by the French King and proffered by the King of Sweden which were these that follow 1. That the said Duke of Bavaria should depart from and renounce and breake off from the League with the House of Austria 2. That he should so dispose of his Troupes and Compnyes and entertaine the same that they should not assist nor encrease the Emperours forces nor the King of Spaines nor those of the Catholike League 3. That he should giue and permit the King of Swedens Forces a free passage thorough his Countryes and for assurance thereof giue some strong place into their keeping as namely that of Ingelstadt or the like 4. That he should contribute a certaine summe of monyes toward the maintenance of his Warre 5. That all places shall be restored mutually that haue been taken from the one or the other during these troubles in Germany Which Articles indeede are very favourable and tolerable and able to accommodate all Neither can they any way seeme harsh to any one who shall consider the Countrey of the same Duke now lying open as a prey vnto the King of Swedens Armie And that at this present he hath no revenues at all A Copie of a Letter written from the field-Armie of the King of Sweden neere vnto Altzeybrugh dated the 5. of Iune Whereas our Army two dayes agoe did march toward the Armie of the Enemie and assault the same not farre from a Cloister neer vnto Steynbach in a Valley We with our Canon haue continued playing vpon the enemy many of our Troupes haue skirmished with some of theirs But the Enemy perceiving that we were stronger then he supposed hee retyred at his leisure and sent before him all his baggage and the most part of his Ordnance and his foot-forces after them and with his Cavallery and some Companies of foot which were left behind kept vs in action to the end that his baggage and Ordnance might be ensured and conveyed In this his retreat our Forces did follow the Enemy close at their heeles and moreover two of the Rhyne-Graues companies of Horse encountered with foure Spanish Troupes and routed them vtterly insomuch that they fled into a wood where they were pursued by our Troupes But by reason that the foot-forces of the Enemy shot so furiously vpon them they were constrained to retyre in some disorder Wherevpon 4. other Companies of the Regiment of Hornech were commanded to succour those two retyring Troupes But they without expecting the approach of them resumed the retreat and so fell vpon part of the Front of their Armie that they caused such a confusion amongst the wagons with baggage that they were compelled to retyre for shelter to Altzey The Enemy durst not so much as follow our retyring Troupes nor the other 4. Companies of Hornechs Regiment but continually seemed to flye from our advancing Army In fine the Enemy left behind them 40. Wagons with baggage and provision and three Cornets And by the high-wayes where they passed doe lie d●ad many Spanish Souldiers and horses which were cut off

with our Canon which made a very great slaughter amongst them From Lan the 9. of June The French King parting from Amiens on the second of this Moneth went that night to Corbie where the Cardinall Duke of Richilieu fell distempered of a feauer which made him to lye still two dayes but with so happy a successe that being let bloud twice during that time hee recouered his health On the third day his Maiesty went from Corbie and dined at Chaune where the Duke that is Gouernor of Amient forgot nothing in his wonted magnificence to acknowledge the pleasing continuation of the great fauours hee receiues from the King his gracious Master who that night went to Nesle The Queen came the very same day to sup at Chaune and from thence to lye at Han. The fourth both the King and Queene came to La Frere The fifth the Cardinall Duke of Richilieu parting from Corbie where he left the Marquise De Seurdis to command where the Marquise the Saint Chaumont did before from thence he came at night to Chaune where hee was very well receiued being accompanied by the Cardinals De la Valette De Lyon and the Marshall de Shomberg The sixth the said Lords dined there and with them also the Popes Nuncio the Count Dronin Embassador of Sauoy the Signior Mazarin sent thither from the Pope and the Marquise De Ville sent from Lorraine All which came after from thence to lye at Magny a house of pleasure belonging to the Duke De Chaune The next Morning they went to La Frere The seuenth the King and Queene parted from thence and came that night to Laon. The eight the Cardinall Duke came thither also from La Frere and met with his Maiesty who parted this 9. of Iune from hence for Rheyns taking his way by our Lady de Liesse Our Army being commanded by the Marshals de la Force and Deffiat consisting of twenty thousand foote and four● thousand horse is lately entred into the Countrey of Trier where they expect fiue Regiments of foote and 1500 horses more there they doe obserue what the Duke D●elb●uf and Don Cordoua intend to doe From the Swedish Campe the 14. of June The Lord Chancellor Oxenstern hauing receiued aduertisement that the Spanish Army both horse and foote commanded by the Count of Embden and Don Philippe de Silua did intend to part and march from Spire towards the Mosel and there the said Army carrying along fiue peeces of Ordnance did breake vp on the 21. of May old stile Hee presently tooke resolution to follow march likewise with the Swedish forces hee had in those parts and vpon any occasion to offer battell vnto the enemy And therefore on the 23. of May hee parted with Palatino Christian from Mentz and marched that day towards Altzem there they lodged their Army in the field before the Towne The next morning advise being brought that the Spanish Army did lodge but two leagues from thence at a market Towne called Gelheym they would by no means neglect that occasion but presently resolued to march directly thither to assault the enemy To which end the Rhine-graue with some forces went before and the rest of the Army did presently follow Assoone as the Spaniards heard and saw our forces comming hee dispatched away all his baggage and in a valley which makes a reasonable large plaine field and lyeth before a wood hee put the whole Army in battle-array The Rhine-graue who as it is well knowne doth feare no number encouraging his troupes suddenly and couragiously charged the said Army and set so violently on the same that he put them into a confusion and disorder the whole Army retyring and sauing it selfe in the sayd wood and leauing to the Rhine graue three Cornets and a great many of souldiers slaine behind being still followed both by the Swedish horse and the foot also who in the meane time was come to the feast though somewhat late by reason of the many hils they had to passe the night thē comming on gaue leasure to the Spaniards to thinke vpon their safety and to march away and the Swedish tooke vp their lodgings also neere and in the sayd wood The Spanish Army hauing gotten sufficient notice of the arriuall of their enemies Army hauing no minde to fight vnder the couert of the night marched forward and on the 25. which was the next day the Swedish Army began againe to march likewise But although the Swedish Cauallery did now and then ouertake some Spaniards and slue them yet the Spanish Army got ground of them by the aduantage of the hils to shun their danger and to saue themselues Howsoeuer we did still follow them as farre as La●tereck so that the sayd Spanish Army was neuer at rest being forced to march day and night Therefore seeing our resolution that wee came still vpon their heeles they at last tooke another resolution and to make their journey somewhat easier they burnt most part of their carriage and baggage vpon the way and left a great part thereof which they hoped to saue and carry with them afterwards behind And the prisoners whereof wee tooke a great number doe assure vs that the said Spanish Generals did neuer thinke the Swedes would dare to follow them but afterwards when they found the contrary their hopes were in a continuall feare and discontent And so the continuall marching troubles want of leasure of victuals and of rest and our often falling vpon some of their troupes they haue suffered very great losse both in their baggage and people so that they haue little to boast off what they haue gotten in that afflicted Country the lower Palatinate At Lautereck the Swedish forces were suffered to rest and refresh themselues And from hence backe againe to the very place of our first meeting the wayes lye strewed full of dead bodies Spaniards Italians Wal●●ones and others whereof besides such as were slaine many died of wearinesse and ●●l●nesse From Bonne the 15. of Iune Walstein otherwise Duke of Fridland is now againe vpon the Scaffold to act a part in our German Tragedy and for a beginning hee hath taken againe Prague vpon composition the Saxon forces that lay in the same being sent and conuoyed to Leutmeritz where the Elector of Saxon his Army is The King of Sweden is suddenly parted from Augsburg towards Memmingen it is thought hee intends to find out and beat Generall Ossa if this hee will tarry for him and haue the honour to come to handy blowes with such a victorious and glorious King The sayd Ossa hath taken Biberach a place of no strength Meane while there is a good Army in Bauaria to wayte on that Duke if it shall need The Duke of Wirtemberg hauing beene with the King of Sweden at Augsburg doth now make some leauies There is a Secretary of the said King sent to Strasburg but the Magistrates there seemes still to bee desirous to remaine
