The French Ambassador, the Lord de l' Ombres, ariving,
at Dantzick, from thence he went to Marienburg, where having
had a Conference there with the Swedish Generalissimo,
he is returned back to Warsovia. General Major Heister
was with his forces a while in Prussia, joyning with the Brandenburgish
and Polonian forces, but did nothing. Some

and are to joyn with other Brandenburgish forces, which

The Swedish Regiments which did lie in the little Warder,
are gone from thence, because provision fell very scant both
for men and beast, and they are enqurtered in the villages beyond
the Weyssel, near to the Hoofft and Dirshaw, whereby
they cut off from the Dantzickers their trading into Poland.
