Dantzick, the 13 Dito.
The Cessation agreed upon betwixt the Polanders and Cosacks, is broken, by
reason of the mis-intelligence betwixt the Cosacks, and the Boors of Russia, the
one not approving of the said Cessation, whereby they are gathered to the number
of 30000 in one body, with an intent to give battle to the Polanders, notwithstanding
the Cosacks contrary resolution. The Polanders shew much resolution,
and willingness to fight, although their number be far less, being not above 12000
in all; but to balance the matter, most of their men are high Dutch, old Souldiers,
which upon occasion will do good service. We have intelligence, that Duke
Ratzivil Field-marshal General of the Poland forces in Lithuania hath had good
success in many encounters against the Cosacks, which hinders them from
making any inrodes, or plundering the Countrey, as they have done
formerly.
