We have sad news from Brasil, our ships had landed some thousand men in the Bay
to doslos Santros, where they buryed many Sugar Mils of the Portugals, and thereupon
they ventured very far into the Land, where they met with 1000 of the Natives, Negroes,
and others with whom they had an encounter, our men had the better at the
beginning of the sight, but the reserve of the Portugals comming on disordered our
men, the new levied were not stout enough to endure the brunt, flung away their
Arms and ran for life, the old Souldiers were fain to fight it out, but being over-butthend
by a numerous multitude, there were slain up the place above 1600 of our
best men. This sad news weakning our companie here, the benefit of their former engagement
being exhausted and they weary, the States Generall take the businesse
in hand, who intend to set out another fleet with a more potent Army, and to this
end have called them severall Officers and Engineers who are to goe thither,
and in case of refusall to be cashier'd, this enterprize is like to cost much, and be fruitles.

We are certified from cleve, that the Prince Elector Palatine of the Rhine, was
stately fercht in by the Elector of Brandenburg, where he is nobly entertained: Upon
serious advice he hath sent a full submission to the Emperour, the which, no doubt, will
produce the restoring his Highnesse to his Countrey, and in case he cannot bring the
