Holden 1651. A bloudy Fight in France between the Kings Army commanded by Generall Harcourt and the Prince of Conde's forces on the first of this instant Jan. 1651. ON the first of this instant January the Prince of Conde took the field against the Kings forces where his Highnesse charged himself in person with the forlorn Hope doing gallant execution the grounds and reasons of his so sudden and unexpected Engagement were as followeth The Prince of Conde receiving intelligence that the King had a conjunctional design against his Highnesse he immediatly resolved to fight General Harcourt who then lay within one league of his Rear and accordingly advanced himself in person with his own Regiment whose Colours resembled the King of Scots at Worcester being green white but differed in the Motto for whereas the King gave a type For Religion Crown and Kingdoms so the Prince gave his Typification To the Law and Testimony of the Gospel This proved an acceptable Sacrifice for no sooner had his Highnesse appeared at the head of each Regiment and after an excellent Speech exhorting them to puissancie of spirit for the fighting of the Lords battel they unanimously resolved to fight it out to the last man and accordingly fell upon Gen. Harcourt both Armies being in battel array and after a sharp dispute which continued for the space of three hours routed the Kings forces killed about 5000 upon the place took 3000 prisoners 90 Colours the Kings Standard with his blew Ribbon and the Holy Ghost engravened in letters of Gold as a Crucifix together with all the Ordnance Armes and ammunition In this Action the Prince of Conde deported himself with most puissant valour and magnanimity of spirit The D. of York charged against him in person and commanded the forlorn Hope most of them consisting of the English Cavalry His horse was snot under him but he himself receihed little hurt The Cardinals return into this Kingdom hath brought all things to the utmost extremity and the increasing of the Armies on both sides doth shew that they are resolved to make an end by force there being now no appearance of any reconciliation Monsieur de Chas●caun us● and Marshal de Villeroy though together with the Princes friends they have forwarded the return of the said Cardinal on a design to unto him being mistrusted have forsaken the Court It is likely the quarrel will not be suddenly appeased I hear that the said Cardinal passed last Saturday from Sedan to Rhetel and by Letters from Rheims we hear that he came over the River of Marue on the 3. instant with 50. Horse only about Espern●● whilst his forces were getting over at another place It is very probable that at this time he is not very far from the Court though his adherents do give out that he is still in Campayne In the mean while we are informed that a party of the Loraines Forces some Spanish Troops and Monsieur le Princes Forces upon the Borders of Champagne are to joyn together at Arley intending to march in a Body into France to the number of 8000. men well commanded by Monsieur de Fauge Dom Stephen de Gamarra and by the Count de Tavannes The Duke of Orleans Forces and others sent for out of Picardy do commit very great violences upon their march sparing neither friends nor foes as well about Paris as in the remotest places The Horse are gone towards the River of Loire to seize on the passes 15. or 1600 Muskets went from hence last Tuesday with abundance of Match and Bullet towards Estampes for the Foot or for the Recruits which are raising for the said Dukes forces which are very poor and naked for want of pay An Express come from the Court saith That there is no likelihood of any accomodation with the Prince and that several honest men were leaving the Court not being willing to see the said Cardinal Since the surprizal of Captain Green we hear That Cap. Smith hath met with some of the Hollanders and hath mered the same measure to them again giving no quarter It is probable this breach will grow wider and wider suddenly for the English are resolved to pay them in their own coyn and not to sell mens lives for gain We hear that Captain Peacock hath taken a French prize but not without loss for she disputed it to the last man There hath been lately a proclamation printed at Amsterdam and dispiersed up and down the City full of invectives against the parliament of England calling them Rebels Traytors and Bloudsuckers but herein they hit themselves a notable box upon the year There is greparation for shipping in all parts of Holland a Fleet of one hundred sayl is intended From Constantinople they write That the Emperour of Turkey hath positively declared against all the Kings Princes States and Common-wealths in Christendom and hath imprisoned about 4000 Christians amongst the rest many eminent Gentlemen some whereof are men of quality belonging to the English Nation who were Agents and Factors at Skaro●n Smirna and other places yet notwithstanding the Janisaries are not a little obstructive to his proceedings which in time may cause a glorious Sun-shine of the Gospel over those dark A●heistical and Mahometan Corners But as ancient Pithogoras said That he was assured the Ayr was full of Spirits so am I confident as yet that Turkey is full of Devils But the Venetians are preparing a great Summer Fleet to go out against the Turks under the command of the Lord High Admiral Foscolo who hath already took 4 stately Gallies and hath made himself Mastes of the strong Castle of Nedren wherein he found 30 brasse pieces 500 bar●●ls of powder and great store of Ammunition The Emperor of Germany is likewise raising 40000 men 〈…〉 Turkes Design against Christendom Cardinal Mazarine hath entred that Kingdom with 7000 horse and foot to assist his Soveraign Lord the King against the Prince of Conde The Duke of Orleans hath declared against his invasion but the Duke of Elbeuf doth declare himself for the Cardinal and so doth all the new Cardinals in Picardy and Champane The Prince endeavours very much to win his Enemies by fair means His gallant and civil Order or Discipline in the Army takes great Influence upon the hearts of the people and many excellent Presidents are extant
