<P>THe other day, the Wymarian Army, after that it had taken Ordingen and Linne, marched directly again&s;t Gen: <HI>Lamboy,</HI> who lay with his Armie upon S. <HI>Anthonies</HI> Plaine, with whom they encountred, and totally routed and defeated him: In which battaile the mo&s;t part of the Imperiall Infanterie was either &s;laine or taken pri&s;oners, the re&s;t &s;led with the Cavallerie towards Kempen, leaving behind them nine Peeces of Ordnance. Generall <HI>Lamboy</HI> him&s;elfe is &s;hrewdly wounded, and taken Pri&s;oner. At this in&s;tant we receive Let|ters from Du&s;&s;eldorp, which were written but ye&s;terday, which cannot &s;ufficienly expre&s;&s;e the great and mi&s;erable fight both of Spirituall and Temporall per&s;ons from Neus, Key&s;er&s;werth, and other places, all which confirme the totall overthrow of Generall <HI>Lamboy,</HI> and in &s;uch a manner, that his Infanterie and Cavallerie is totally di&s;per&s;ed: <HI>Lamboy</HI> and the mo&s;t part of the high Officers are either &s;laine or taken pri&s;oners, and the Wymarians obtained all their Artillerie, ammunition, and took above 4000. pri&s;oners, and withall obtained almo&s;t as many hor&s;es, many Standards and En&s;ignes.</P>

<P>THe Imperiall Generall <HI>Lamboy</HI> having received intelli|gence that the Wymarian Armie had taken Ordingen, together with the City and Ca&s;tle of Lin, and were comming from thence towards him, po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ed him&s;elfe, for his advan|tage, neere Huls, betwixt Kempen and Old Kirck, of a faire plot of ground, being &s;urrounded with a very high brea&s;t-work, in manner of a trench, where he planted his Ordnance, among&s;t which were foure demi-Canons, upon &s;ome high ground cro&s;&s;e-wi&s;e, round about the afore&s;aid brea&s;t-work, lay the Mu&s;quetiers and fire-logs, and on the &s;ides of the Camp &s;tood the Cavallarie in 2 wings, and betwixt both wings 2.

In this battaile the Imperiali&s;ts lo&s;t all their baggage, Artillery, Am|munition, 64. En&s;ignes, and 40. Standards.

After this victory, the Wyma|rians came before Kempen, which they took pre&s;ently, and made the Inhabitants pay 15000. Rixdallers for pillaging. The 10.20. of January, 600. He&s;&s;i&s;h hor&s;emen went neere Hulekrath, through the river of Erfft, &s;urprized at Dormagen 300.

Hor&s;e and Foot of the States Forces, which are paid by the King of France, lye ready to &s;uccour the Wymarians, as &s;oone as they receive order. Ten Regiments more are comming from France towards Ma&s;tricht, which are likewi&s;e to joyne with the Wymarian Armie. I received Let|ters from <HI>le Conte de Guebrian,</HI> Gen: of the Wymarian Armie, who writes that his Armie is now complete 16. &agrave; 17000. &s;trong, becau&s;e &s;ince the battaile their Armie is grown above 5000. &s;tronger. In Dormagen, which lyes but two Dutch miles from Collen, they have &s;urprized and totally ruinated a Regiment of Dragooners of <HI>Hatsfeld</HI> his Forces, whereupon the re&s;t of his Armie retired towards Coblentz. 6000. He&s;&s;i&s;h and Wymarian Hor&s;emen are pa&s;&s;ed by Collen, in pur&s;uit of <HI>Hatsfeld.</HI> The Swedi&s;h Generall <HI>Tor&s;ten&s;ohn</HI> lyes with his Ar|mie yet about <HI>Garleben,</HI> in the old Marqui&s;ate of Brandenburg. Upon the hearing of this good newes, it is not doubted but he will likewi&s;e further advance, becau&s;e the Elector of Collen hath &s;ent to Piccolomini for &s;ome aid to &s;uccour <HI>Hatsfeld,</HI> who is not above 4000. &s;trong. Of the re&s;titution of the Palatinate upon faire termes, is little hope. It is &s;aid, that the Amba&s;&s;a|dours will &s;hortly come back againe from Vienna, without any expedition. The Spani&s;h Fleet is ruinated againe by the Portu|gall, and our Fleet, whereof they have &s;unke 8&punc; of the Ships, and the re&s;t fled againe into Calis <HI>malis.</HI></P>
