LETTER CLVII. To Mareschal Chatillon.
SIR,
THis Billet is to acquaint Monsieur the Mareschal Chatil∣lon, that Picolomini lay the day before yesterday, the 29th of this Month, at Maubeuge, and that it is believ'd in∣stead of going to Givay, he will march to Namure. It belongs to my said Sieur the Mareschal, to determine if he will make the two Intrenchments he advis'd me of, on the two sides of the Mountain, where he reckons to pitch his Field of Battle. To morrow shall be sent him 6 Companies of Swiss, who come from Mezieres, Charleville, and Maubeuge, together with the Regiment of Aubeterre, which has near 1000 Men. I have sent in quest of the Miners. The good Event consists in all imaginable Diligence wherein I am well assured, nothing will be omitted on the part of the Mareschal Chatillon, to whom I am, &c.
