From Dansicke the 7. of September.

On the 24 of August after dinner time went the Duke of Holstein into the field to looke out for a conuenient place to inquarter his leger (which is separated from that of the Polonians) to whom are likewise ioyned the Forces of the two Commanders named Dohnhof••r.

On the 29 of August about the euening came the King of Poland with many men of note, and his Courtiers, and followers into this City, and was with great state and pompe fetcht into it by our Citizens; and well entertained afterwards by our Magistrates.

The day before were the Ambassadours of the States Generall of the Vnited Prouinces of the Low-Counties

which labour very earnestly to make peace betwixt Po∣land and Sweden) gone towards the Polon••an Generall of the Field.

On the first of September went the King of Poland to see and to view our walls, and all our sconces, and works round about this City, and especially the new raised sconce, which the souldiers cal commonly Schenke-sconce, by reason of the strength of it: and at the same time there were 44 peeces of ordnance discharged, besides many muskets both by water and land. The King liking these workes exceedingly well, reioyced much at it, and com∣mended much to his Lords the endeauors and faithful∣nesse of the Dansickers, saying that they had well labou∣red, and were his loyall seruants, and that they had not done as they of Elbingen, and others.

On the second of September went the King of Poland with the Prince his sonne, and diuers great Lords, be∣sides our Burgemasters, and some of our Aldermen, ear∣ly in the morning toward the Fort which is called Weich∣selmundt, and when they had viewed there all things very well, our Magistrates did feast very stately both the King and his followers, and about the euening there were many pieces of ordnance discharged both in the 12 Ships which lay thereabout, and in the Sconces. And it happened that about the same time, that a Galley of the King of Poland being put to Sea to try whether it could well sayle, it encountred with a Swedish ship, and had a pretty combat both with it, and 3 other for a little while, which were afterwards cruelly battered by our ordnance which lay in a sconce neere which the Swedish followed the said Gally. The said King hauing seene this sport with contentment, returned the same euening againe to the said City, and departed from thence on the 4 of this moneth, three Postes being sent to him, and went directly towards his Army.

In the weeke which is last past were the Ambassadors

together, and the Polonians were to propound some ar∣ticles of peace betwixt Poland and Sweden.
