our Magistrate sent thither two persons of our Senate, a like
number of our Citizens, and a Major of our Militia, to be
present in the Council of War, and there they gave their
consent for the besieging of Graudentz, which is since taken,
and towards the work, Thoren was willing to furnish the
army with 3000 sacks of Corn, and 6000 Tuns of Beer, for
their subsistence. They had, when they went before Graudentz
12000, with a very gallant Artillery, under the Command
of the Generals Lubomiruki and Grudzinski, with
which they presently took it from the Swede, in regard the
soldiery within made way by matiny, and had their reward
accordingly; for, though they hung out a white colours,
and habited themselves (many of them) in white to crave
mercy, yet the Poles put them all to the Sword.
