all the succor which the King takes care for shall be arrived
with them, it is presumed they will not be able to preserve
Stettin, or to put any stop to the career of the Imperial forces,
which have fallen down upon those parts with great fury:
However, his Majesty of Sweden, besides the forces which
are coming out of Sweden, hath others which have been newly
raised in the several Danish Isles, part whereof hath been
already transported from Naskow to Wismar, and the rest are
to follow, being ready to imbarque in 14 Swedish Men of
War, which wait to transport them.
On the other hand, at Coppenhagen they are contriving
how to get over the remnant of the Confederates which are
quartered in Jutland and Holstein; and for this purpose they
are collecting all the Men of War of their own that they can,
and part of the Holland-men shall (as its verily beleeved)
assist them therein. Nevertheless, the work is not like to go
on very fast, because of the King of Denmarks extream want
of mony.
From Dantzick, Septemb. 16.
We are now in great hope of being freed from that terror
which was held over us in these parts, most of their forces
being drawn away elsewhere, and many of their Forts are
taken. The Polish General Lubomirsky maketh ready to fall
upon Marienbourg and other strong places, the like designs
are managing in several parts of Prussia, by those Brandenburghs
which are united, with our forces of this City. The
Boat-bridge which the Swedes made near Dirshaw, is
brought away to the Hoft, and the next thing will be to
reduce the Sconce called the Montawish Nook, which is
yet held by the Swedes; because the late great falls of
raine have hindered the Confederate forces which were
upon the designe. When they shall have taken that sconce,
they next purpose to pass into the Werder, and to reduce the
Hoft, that they may clear an uninterrupted Commerce upon
the River Weyssel betwixt this City and Poland: A work
most desirable, and which would exceedingly oblige
us.
