unto them. His Highness privy Counsellor the Lord
Overbeck is to plead their cause at Warshow.
His Electoral Highness alloweth toleration of the Catholicks
in his Territories. The Edicts are printed and published
throughout the Land, and strictly executed upon the pain
of death and confiscation of the goods of all such, that are
refractorie and disobedient. The Swedish Ministers have delivered
into the Electoral Colledg their memorandum against
the conjunction of the Emperor and our Prince Elector; who
takes great distaste at it, and intends to give his answer to it
very speedily.
Another from Hamborough, August 13.
The King of Sweden arrived lately at Kiel, where several
ships lay ready, and in other places also, to transport his
Soldiers. It is generally beleeved, that they are gone for
Prussia: In all probabilitie, he will not make any invasion into
Germany.
From Newhusel, August 1.
The Peasants which escaped from the Turks Army that
was defeated, relate that Prince Ragotzi of Transylvania challenged
the Bashaw of Buda to a fight, thereupon the said
Bashaw broke up from Lippa, marching towards a certain
Castle called Arad; which the Transylvanians perceiving,
set the Suburbs on fire near to the said Castle. The
Turks Officers which commanded and led the Avant, saw
the smoak and fire afar off, thereupon they hastened directly
to the Castle. The Hungarians made after them, and put them
to flight, many they took and many they put to the Sword,
Mustapha Beg himselfe was taken prisoner, and because the
Transylvanians had good success in this their first onset they
were incouraged to draw nearer to the Turkish maine Army.
Thereupon the Turks discharged 3 great Guns as warning
pieces, that their men should retire within the Waggons, of
which there were many hundreds on which the Janizars had
been carried, and they were placed so as to serve for a safeguard,
but the Transylvanians let fly their great guns among
them so roundly, that the Turks were brought into a confusion,
