who hath taken the command of our Army since the death of
our Generalissimo Marcello, to make good use of this great
Victory, made his approach near to the Forrests of Tenedo,
which we hear he hath taken after a siege of 14 days, although
that its proximity to Constantinople, and is advantageous
scituation, rendred this Enterprise very doubtfull: besides that
it was to be supposed, that the Ministers of Divan would doe
all what they could to preserve a place whose losse will very
much incommodate that City, which cannot now receive
hereafter (but with much difficulty) the ships that are to bring
them their Necessaries. This good news was accompanied
with another no less important, That our Army having met
the rich Caravane of Alexandria in Egypt, had so happily
overcome it, that a part of he 24 Saiques whereof it was composed,
was taken, and the rest sunk; whereof we expect a confirmation.
We hear since from Constantinople, that the Grand Seignior
had resolved to set forth with all speed a new Fleet of an
hundred Gallies, and the like number of Ships for the next
Campagne. This Republique is also about to reinforce their
Fleet with Ten new Galeasses, and some Gallies, being resolved
to doe all what they can for the recovery of such places
as the Turk hath taken from us. Neither doth this State
much value what the Turk is a doing, since they cannot be in
a condition to do them any prejudice in any time, for they
want both Monie, and Men fit for the Oar.
An Advertisement.
ALmost a Fortnight agoe, a Watch was lost betwixt
Strington and Godmanchester, in the Road betwixt
York and London. It was of an Ovall fashion, a Silver Case,
with red Lining, and made by Richard Craley, whose Name
is cut within it. If any bring or send it to the Printer of this
Book, living over against Baynards-Castle, the party shall have
full satisfaction.
