From Posen they write, that General Wittenbergh
was gone thence for Warta, a place of importance;
which he hopes will receive him in
the same manner, as Pesen hath done. His Majesties
of Swedens departure from Siettin, continues,
and its said he goes after, and intends to joyn
with Gen. Wittenbergh. Generals Low[unr]nbautt and
Gustavus Horn with their 12 or 14000 Livonians
stood (as the last Letters speak) five miles from
Wilda, hoping to reach that City (which they
say, after God, wholly confides in their protection)
before the Muscovites, though they with a

but have beaten the remnant of the Littavish
Army out of the field, and are advanced within
