Prisoners of Avesnes, except about 40 officers and others
that were wounded, who were sent back upon their parole.
Of our men the 2 Majors had their horses slaine under them,
the Lievtenant of the Baron de Wanghes was wounded, his
Quartermaster killed and much damented, also one of his
Corporalls; a Reformado Lieutenant of the Count de Buquoys
Troop, and two or three soldiers of severall Troops wounded,
and no other loss.
Having besides gotten a good booty of Horses, Arms, and
Clothes, and weakned the garrison of la Capelle, of the
greatest and best part of its force, to teach the Enemies hereafter
to keep and observe the Laws of Warr and of honor, and
to forbear such Tyrannies and undue extortions, &c,
From Turin in Savoy, February, 10.
This day hath been a great day of festivity and gladness, in
this City, it being a solemnity for the birth day of Madam
Royall the Dukes mother; but in regard that this Princesse is
afflicted with a Fever Tertian, and the Duke himself, with his
eldest sister, somewhat indisposed with a Flux of Rheume, all
the divertisements and Jollities which had been Prepared, as
also the great Ballet, were put off till another time.
Neverthelesse, this day, the Duke of Modena, who came hither
to assist at these rejoycings, bringing along with him the
orders of the King of France, delivered to their Highness a
Letter, whereby his Majesty, of his own accord, and to give
them a signall Evidence of his good affection, surrendred up
unto them the Citadel of this city, and so the French garrison
marching out, right companies of soldiers entred, and took it
to our Dukes Possession. Which is highly resented here, as an
eminent argument of the French Fidelity.
From Naples, January 10.
This City being in a manner cleared of the Pestilence, strict
orders are given for the preserving of [unr] within, and for the
keeping out of persons suspected that come from other parts;
and whoever breaks any of the orders is sure to be imprisoned.
All S[unr]anmen likewise are commanded, upon pain of death, not
to land any persons Priv[unr]ly, without the consent of the appointed
Officers for inspection.
