From Upsahla, the sixth of December. S. V.
All things are now in readinese here, for the reception
of the English extraordinary Lord Ambassadour White-lock,
who to not yet come on, but is expected dayly. This
reception and entertainment as is thought, wil be vary
stately; yet cannot be so extraordinary here, as it would
have been, if the Court had continued at Stockholm; because
of several things, which this place doth not so richly
afford as the other. Hit Excellency the lord Rxy-Chancellor
is likewise expected here this week; who makes
haste to be here before the Lord Ambassadour, for to help
to receive his Lordship.
From Regensburg, the 22 of December. S. N.
From hence little of news, His Majesty the Emaperour
was resolved to go a hunting in company of his Majesty
the King his son, to Newstads; but being since taken off
with more earnest and important affairs, hath now excnsed
himself and remains here. The 300000 Ryx-Dollors that
were heretofore, by some of the German Princes, ordered
for the Scotch King, are now concluded by the General
Assembly to be given him: it being also enacted by the
said assembly, that no books or pasquils whatsoever written
against, or in the disdain of the said King, should be
suffered to be bought or sold in any part of Germany, under
the Roman Empire by pain of life
Form Dantzick, the 24 S. N.
By letters out of the Polish leagure from the 30 December,
We understand, that the Tartarian Army, being
joyned with the Cossacks do advance towards us; so that
it is believed, we shall fight them tomorrow if they come
so near. the Prisoner declare, that of the Tarters there
were no more then 60000 men, of whom scarce 30000
are able to draw swords, the rest consisted for the most p[unr]
of press'd Souldiers; so that, if we chance to meet with
them, we make no question but that at this bout, we shall
wholly destroy them.
