From Wismar, Novemb. 22.
The French Ambassador hath so far prevailed betwixt the
two Northern Kings, that in all likelyhood a peace will be between
them: to which end a place which is Neuter, is appointed
and Deputies to be sent for to effect such a happy work. The
Holland Ambassadors being readmitted, will endeavour in the
best maner that such a good work may be brought to a good
end. His Majesty of Sweden is here still, eagerly prosecuting
his Affairs.

Don John hols conference with the 4 Members of Flanders.
Our Spanish Foot is so much dissolved, that hardly any of the
Condeon Forces and of the rest not many can be brought together.
Throughout the whole Country men are levyed,
and about 8000 of them are in a Body. Many of our Mariners
offered them selves that when ever Mardike is to be assaulted
again, they will venture to fling Bombes and Granadoes
into it. Ours have by surprize taken from the French a
smal Redoubt not far from Bourburgh.
