Another From Dantzick 27 Jan.
The Polnish Embassador is not gone yet to the Moscovie
Court, and they keep back now by reason of the good news,
which General Czarnecki hath written with his own hand, how
that he about Brombert, 9. leagues off Thorn had a field-battle
with the Swedish Camp, and that he put to the Sword
2000 of the Swedish, and took from them 17 Cornets. We
fear this news is made and sent to encourage us. The mazures,
on the other side of the Wysel ruinate all even unto
Holland. The Polonian King hath sent an Embassador to the
Turkish Emperor. 6000 Polanders are on the other side of the
Wysel, where they spoyle and consume all. The Swedish
endeavor to cut off the trading out of Poland on the river of
Wysel unto this City; our foot forces and troops have taken
their march toward Marienburg to surprise som of the Swedish
Generals Douglas his Regiments, in which designe they had
good success, they brought the Swedish to a rout and plundered
Neutich and marched from thence to great Lichtenaw,
where the Swedish, and the inhab tants fired gallanty out of
the windowes, but they retired from the place: our Troopers
got about 1000 horse from the Swedish and a great number of
Oxen, Sheep, and the like good booties, and Armor, and in
the Village they got 24 gallant horses more, which belonged
to the King of Sweden, 12 whereof shall be presented to the
King of Poland, and they have got en also 12 horses, which
the Swedish took from our King here about this City, all the
armed man were put to the Sword: these Victorious men
coming in Triumphantly with their spoile, marched out again
the 26 of Jan. in the evening, to fall upon the [unr]ort Grebbin
and demanded the same, but the Governor resolved to defend
the place to the last m[unr]n, drew his great Guns upon the
Walls, and gave fire about 2 of the Clock at night: in the
morning our men having stormdit for three houres long, took
the place by force, and put in their furie 150. of the Garrison
to the Sword, taking prisoner onely one Lievtenant and
one Antient; the most of those men were shortree, but were
knockt down by Arms and killed.
