From Adrianople, 27 July.
The Prime Vezir is marcht towards Belgrade with a body
of 80000. besides these, many other forces from Asia are come
hither upon some great design in hand. The French Ambassador
his son is in troubles about some letters, written in
Characters, and is put into the Tower. But few forces are
going to Sea this year; the Islands in Archipelago make
great complaint, wishing to be delivered from the Turkish
Government, and to be under the Christians.
From Ancona, 22 July.
Twelve Turkish men of Warr nave been crossing these
three months, the Italian Coasts, and in the Gulph of Venice,
taking and robbing many ships, and they keep the Sea-coasts
still in alarm. They have taken lately about Fermo
two Merchant ships richly laden coming from Venice, and
which were bound for Palermo: they took away many
Vessels of the Italian Fishermen, and coming on land in small
sloops, they carried away above 200 poore men into slaverie.
The Pope is troubled at it; and to prevent further mischief,
sends more forces into the respective garrisons of the Sea-Towns
to oppose not only these Turks, but the English also
if they should attempt any thing; and all along the Italian
Strand, Forts and Redouts are raised, to keep all Robbers off
from landing and plundring.
From Naples, 24 July.
The swift motions of the Bandites terrifie the Spanish extreamly:
these Bandits have taken and dismantled many
Castles: Our Viceroy sent several forces against them, but
prevailed in nothing: they make all the wayes very unsafe
for travellors hereabouts. In a word, they undoe the whole
Country. Prince Ludovisio's son coming into this City, was
suddainly taken with an Ague, of which he died.
From Millain, August 7.
Our Enemies play the Masters of the Field in this State;
the Spanish being of no considerable number, dare not oppose
