Raywundus, Count de Mont'cuculi, was his General. F*«sidedt of the
Council of War, Governour of Rab and the Confines about k, ancj op
the Order of the Golden Fleece ; [a tall Person, somcwhat lean, v,lt
hath a spirit in his look : he is one of the oldest Commanders in Eu-
rope, and performed good Service in Roland , Hungary , Germany
in many places, and is esteemed a prudent, valiant,and luccessful Com-
mander.
The Count' de Souchei was also a Commander of great Fame, and in
high esteem with the Emperor. He was a Native of Rochelle : he first
served the Swedes in the German wars, and was a Colonel, but upon
some disgust he forsook the Swedes, and served the Imperialists, and
was made Governor of Brin, the second Town in Moravia. After the
taking of Crembs in Aujlria General Torftenfon, besieged Brin, and
sent word unto the Governor de Souches, That if he resused to deliver
up the Town, he would give him no quarter. Who answered him,
That he would not ask any, and also give none: and defended the
place with siich resolution, that after many Assaults.Underminings,and
Attempts by Granado's, Torjlenson was forced to rise, after a Siege of
four months, which was so advantageous unto Aujlria and the Impe-
rial afsairs, that the Emperor took especial notice of him, made him
a Baron, and of his Rrivy-Council. He commanded also all the For-
ces in Vienna, and did notable Service in the last Turkijb wars. He
took the City of Nitra, or Nitria, not far from Stirigonium or Gran ;
and took and slew7 six thousand Turks which were sent by the VizV
er of Buda against him : a worthy Person, and os a good Aspedt.

vernor, of the strong fortified place Leopoldsladt By Freiftadtsi. Person
of great Civility, unto whom I was much obliged.
Count Eefly, Nephew unto Count Lefly, who was sent Ambastador
to Constantinople to the Sultan srom the Emperor, is a Commander
worthy of that esteem he hath with the Emperor ; a Person of great
Courage, Civility and Humanity, which I must ever acknow-
ledge.
The Courts of the Empress, and of the Empress Dowager, are filled
with Persons of Note ; and there are a great number os Souldiers in
this place of great Fame, as the Marquiss Rio, Spork, Copr, and many
more. Many of the Clergy and Men of Learning,are in good esteem
with the Emperor ; but the JeJuites Moelner and B ccalella, are his
near Favorites. Many Strangers both Souldiers and Scholars, have
built their Fortunes here. And. surely Strangers of parts and industry,
so they be of the Roman Church, are not like to raise their Fortunes any
where better than in these parts.
Though the Emperor goes not to war in Petsori, yet hath he been
successful ih his wars, specially in the Battel with the Turks at St. Go-
dart, where the business was handsomly and actively managed, to set
upon the body of the Turks, which had palled the River Rab, before
the whole Forces of the Vizier could come over, to the great
daughter of the Januaries and Turks , who fought stoutly, and
