and many of them being slain, the rest were constrained to
[unr] for it.
This day the Elector of Brandenburgh is to give Audience

been collecting an Army in White Russia; and we are told
hee hath in severall Bodies near 100[unr]00, men, beside those
he expects from the Cos[unr]cks and Tartars
The Palrsh Puisants are said to have made an Insurrection
for the driving of the Swedes out of Cracovia, and that they
have so blocked up that City, that the Swedish garrison there is
afflicted with Famine.
The Swedish Army under the Command of Field Marshal
Wittenberg is now on camped near Warsovia, whether tis said
that more Forces are to come to him with a train of Artillery.
The generall risings of the Polish people have put the Swedes
to it extreamly; and if they can bear out this Brunt they will
carry all before them.
As touching the Moscovites warring against the Swedes in
Liesland, many things are reported; but tis certain that
hitherto hee hath done nothing, so that as yet all is but
noise.
