From Vanice May 26.
We have received advice how that General Moccenigo,
having met within he Channel of Scip [unr]ships of Barbary
and a great number of 7 [unr]icks going to joyne with the Turkish
Army he engaged them wish so much resolution and fortune,
that he bu[unr]nt the 10 ships and most of the said Zaicks,
whereof 14 were laden with rich commodities, victualls, and
200000 crown of the t[unr]u[unr]e of Rhodes, which they were carying
to Constantinople; having like wise [unr]sl in above 1000 of
the Turks, taken 400 Pasoners, and released 500 Christarans,
with the loss only of 100 of cu[unr]m[unr]n, and 300 wounded,
Which good success hath so animated that Generalissimo,
that,[unr] R[unr]port goes, he was resolved, presently after the
ar[unr]va[unr] of the Galieys of the ope and of Maltha, to go[unr]
and look for the Turkish Army in the said Charnel; But before
we make the ordinary rejoycing upon such occasions,
according to the merit of so great an advantage, we expect the
confirmatiion of it from the brave Commanders, whom we
hear to be busy now about the pacifying of the differences
happened in Dlmaria, because of the execu[unr]ion made by
order of the General Proveditors, of a Sea Captaine, in whose
reven[unr]e most of the others have murined. The Marquis de
Ma sera is arrived here to deside as ordinary Ambassador of
the King of Spain.
From Paris by the last.
The Letters brought hither by the last ordinary, say, that
the Court was at La Fore, but departed lately to go to Soilsons,
from thence to Rheims, to be near the siege at Montmedi,
which is galantly carryed on by Marshal de la Ferte, who
having given one defeat to a party that was sent by the Prince
of Conde, under the conduct of Don Pardo to put a reliese
of 300 men into the Place, and either killed or taken them
all, the said Prince was designing to make some notable Attempt
upon our Lines, but perceiving that Marshal Turcin
warched and attended him in his motion, he gave over the
designe; and tis like he will not renew it, because the Spaniards
now talk of setting down before some one garrison
