at an hundred to one. To morrow, he goes on toward the King
of Sweden.
The last and best account from Stettin in Pomerania,
August 11.
On the fourth instant, the Swede entred that part of the
Polish Kingdom, which is properly called Poland.
One the seventh, he came to a little Town called Czarnkow,
where (by Gods permission) the Ambassadors of Brandenburgh
following His Majesty, a very good end was put
to that Treaty, betwixt him and the Duke their Master, and
that Impediment removed out of the way of His Majesties
designs; by which means you may guess what will become
of the league between the Brandenburger and the Hollander.
The King being expected by Field-Marshal Wittenbergh
at the City of Scrotta, hastens all that ever he can towards
him.
The King of Poland is at Warsovia, making a shew of
collecting Forces.
On the other side, the Muscovite is possessed of all Lithuania,
by taking the City of Wild or Vilna, the eighth instant,
where he put all to the Sword, without distinction of
Sex; so that Prince Radzivil was glad to save himself by
flight, having at length, but too late, implored the assistance
and protection of the Swedes, which, would have been
happy for him, he being a protestant. Those that escaped
the danger of the Sword, and the River (wherein many
were drowned) saved themselves by flight into Prussia,
where the whole Country is in Arms, for fear of the Muscovite,
he being at Kawen, a considerable City; therefore
now they dread him, not the Swede. The Swedish Fleetrides
still at anchor, but is ready.
From Dublin, August 16.
The Lord Henry Cromwel hath of late infinitely gained
upon the affection of the people in this Dominion, as well
by his courteous behaviour to all men, as by the discreet
countenance, he particularly affords unto Learning and
Learned Men.
