<p n="682">LTTERS from Vienna of<lb></lb>
the 8th advise, that the Trea-<lb></lb>
ty with the Venetians is at<lb></lb>
last concluded, except a se-<lb></lb>
eret Article or two about<lb></lb>
verona, which is to be ad-<lb></lb>
justed by it self. The Trea-<lb></lb>
ty is an Allyance offensive<lb></lb>
<obscured></obscured>
defensive; to that the Emperor will be ob-<lb></lb>
tained to assist the Venetians with all his Forces,<lb></lb>
<obscured></obscured>
cafe the Turks carry on the war.</p>
<p n="683">All our Advices from Levant speak of<lb></lb>
the prodigious Preparations of war which the<lb></lb>
Turks make in all their Ports, which not only<lb></lb>
alarms the Venetians, but all the Italian Prin-<lb></lb>
<obscured></obscured>
tes especially the Pope, and the King of Sicily<lb></lb>
and we do not see that any of the rest of them<lb></lb>
can make any great resistance if the Turks<lb></lb>
should attack them with a considerable Force</p>
<p n="684">They talk of renewing the Treaty at Bruns-<lb></lb>
wick, for accommodating the difference among<lb></lb>
the Northern Princes, but those Things are to<lb></lb>
dilatory, that little Good is to be expected<lb></lb>
from them.</p>
<p n="685">They write from Dantzick of the 18th of<lb></lb>
December, that the Czar of Muscovy has been<lb></lb>
at the point of death, which has put all things<lb></lb>
on that side, to a stand, The Saxon Forces in<lb></lb>
found<obscured></obscured>
with so<lb></lb>
much vigour, not withstanding the<obscured></obscured>
of the<lb></lb>
season, that unless the Turks openly appear to<lb></lb>
their assistance, it is thought they Will be ob-<lb></lb>
liged to lay down their Arms, and Submit not-<lb></lb>
withstanding their great numbers. They are<lb></lb>
at present retired to Volhinta; but the Saxons<lb></lb>
having make themselves Masters of the strong<lb></lb>
City of zamosk, which they took by surprize,<lb></lb>
it is thought they would retire farther.</p>
<p n="686">They write from Copenhagen, that the<lb></lb>
Swedes in S honen had formed a design to march<lb></lb>
over the Sound upon the Ice with 12000 Men,<lb></lb>
which has put them into a great consternation,<lb></lb>
and several thousand Men are Continually em-<lb></lb>
ployed to break the Ice, but it freezes with<lb></lb>
such violence, that it is impossible to keep it<lb></lb>
open; however the King being arrived, and<lb></lb>
all the Troops drawn together that were at<lb></lb>
hand, People begin to be more easie.</p>
<p n="687">They write from Cologn. that the extremity<lb></lb>
of the Cold has destroyed a world of people in<lb></lb>
the lower Germany, and which is worse, the<lb></lb>
Wolves appear in great Troops, and that so<lb></lb>
boldly, that they come even to the Gates of<lb></lb>
that City, and have destroyed a great many<lb></lb>
people an that Country.</p>
<p n="688">Since our last, we have two Mails from Hol-<lb></lb>
land; how they came over, God knows, they<lb></lb>
bring Letters from the Hague of the 27th and<lb></lb>
21st, with an account that the states General,<lb></lb>
notwithstanding the just exceptions they had<lb></lb>
against the Proceedings of the Elector of Co-<lb></lb>
logn, and upon which they had resolved not to<lb></lb>
evacuate the Citadel of Liege and the Castle of<lb></lb>
Huy, and notwithstanding their resolution not<lb></lb>
to consent to the Grant made by the Emperor<lb></lb>
to the Elector Palatine of the Dutchy of Lim-<lb></lb>
bourgh, which as they alledged, was directly<lb></lb>
contrary to, and inconsistent with the Bar-<lb></lb>
rier Treaty, yet that they have not thought fit<lb></lb>
to delay the Ratifications of the said Treaty<lb></lb>
but that the several Provinces having<obscured></obscured>
<lb></lb>
their consent to the said Treaty, the Ratificati-<lb></lb>
ons have been dispatch'd to Antwerp to be<lb></lb>
exchag'd in due Form.</p>
<p n="689">These Letters add that the Elector of Cologn<lb></lb>
has made some proposals to the States to mol<lb></lb>
lify them a little as to the affront offer'd them<lb></lb>
at Bodm, and for the evacuation of the Citadel<lb></lb>
of Liege, has offer'd to abate that Article, which<lb></lb>
obliges the States to demolish a new Fort ere-<lb></lb>
cted night against Maestrick, which the States<lb></lb>
were very loth to part with, and which it is<lb></lb>
believed they will now be very well pleased<lb></lb>
with, so that it is hoped those Matters may be<lb></lb>
amicably ended.</p>
<p n="690">They wait with great impatience for the next<lb></lb>
Letters from Copenhagen, where it is expected<lb></lb>
the Sweedes should make some very desperate<lb></lb>
attempt; and as they say, that the Sound is so<lb></lb>
frozen that even cannon may be drawn over<lb></lb>
it, it is not doubted but the King of Sweeden<lb></lb>
<obscured></obscured>
if<lb></lb>
he has troops enough<obscured></obscured>
hand, which it is said<lb></lb>
he has; they are also very unekly on that dis-<lb></lb>
count on the Main Land, not doubting but<lb></lb>
that the Swedes will ravage Just and, if possi-<lb></lb>
ble. The Danish army being all it Romeren,<lb></lb>
they have but very few Troop at Copenha-<lb></lb>
gen, and which is worse, their Fleet has not<lb></lb>
been able to clear itself of the Ice, for but that<lb></lb>
it may be burnt easily, as if it lay in a River.</p>
<p n="691">Letter from Vienna of the<obscured></obscured>
, that<lb></lb>
the Preparation for War with the Turks go<lb></lb>
on as much as ever, notwithstanding in Hill re-<lb></lb>
mains doubtful whether that War will be en-<lb></lb>
tred upon or not. The Emperor has shewn<lb></lb>
great dissatisfaction at the Proceedings in Po-<lb></lb>
merania; and they talk of new Alliances to be<lb></lb>
entred into for the re-instating the Swedes in<lb></lb>
them German Dominions: But chose Things<lb></lb>
seem to be too late to mention now, and the<lb></lb>
Proceedings of that kind will be very much in-<lb></lb>
fluenc'd by the Life or Death of the Czar of<lb></lb>
Muscow, who they continue to say, lies very ill<lb></lb>
at Petersburgh, and not likely to recover.</p>
<p n="692">Several Dutch Merchant ships homeward<lb></lb>
bound are come into our Ports, having attempt-<lb></lb>
ed, but in vain, and with great hazard to get<lb></lb>
into their Ports, which are now entirely block'd<lb></lb>
up with Ice some of them are gone into Har-<lb></lb>
wich, and other are gone into the Humber.</p>
<p n="693">Letters from Rome give long Accounts of<lb></lb>
the Joy and the Feasts that have been made by<lb></lb>
the Families concern'd on account of the pope<lb></lb>
