Poland informs us, the Poles and Cossacks skirmished hard
three dayes one with another, much people being lost on
both sides; the Poles only got some hundred Baggagewagons,
and some Ordnance, and so retired on both sides.
From Stockholm, Feb. 17. S V.
The Parliament sits the 26 of this present, against which
time the King (who hath continued his progress to Helmstat,
and as is said to Gottenburgh) is expected here. The Polish
Envoy remains still in this City, and must expect another
Plenipotentia before he get audience. They write from Liefland,
that our General Count Gustavus Horn hath taken
divers Russes that were come over our borders, and that the
Russes have stopt our Merchants and goods, and our General
should have done the like: what the event will be, a short
time will shew; however there are more forces ordered for
Liesland, and this moneth and the beginning of the next all
our forces in Sweden are to be mustred, and divers Regiments
have order to be in readiness in few dayes after the King returns.
From Hamburgh, Mar: 6. S.V.
Yesterday an Express from the King of Denmark came on
here with a Letter to this Senate, wherein he demands their
Categorical answer and resolution touching his Inauguration
(or Huldigung) here: which Letter was read in pleno Senatu,
but their answer unto it yet unknown; most are of opinion
that it will be in effect negative, although it is said the King
is fitting out some ships to lay upon the Elve in case of refusal.
The agreement between the Bishop and City of Munster
consists chiefly in these ensuing particulars. First, a general
amnesty and oblivion of all what is passed between
them, and the City to continue in their antient duty and
submission towards the Bishop. 2. The Bishop with his
whole train, and a thousand men horse and foot, is permitted
to enter the City. 3. The Governor of the City is to depend
from the Bishop, and those of the City oblige themselves
not to give any protection or assistance to the Doom-Deacon
Bernard van Mollinknot, who was the chiefe cause
and fomenter of their late difference.
