 the Wounded, efpecially Colonel %edburgb, with a Letter from thc'Prifoncr jAj* 

 wio Mendo^a, requefting the Governor Albuquerque and Duke of Bagnola, that they 

 would be pleas'd to releafe the Hollanders on Exchange, or elfe upon Ranfom. 

 The Drummer being civilly Entertain'd by Albuquerque, brought back with him a 

 ftrange Oyl call'd^ry, for the wounded Mendo^a^ with which a Wound made by 

 a Bullet being anointed about three fingers breadth, it draws out the fame. Bagnola 

 afterwards fent it to %embach, in requital for his kindnefs in lending Mendo^a in a 

 Hammock to %eal. Mean while the Hollanders ftill fortifi'd their Works at the Afo- 

 gados with Pallifado's and Platforms, on which they put five Guns. They likewife 

 work'd daily on the fore*mention'd Caftle, whilcft Scbuppe march'd with four hun- 

 dred Men in the Night over the River Jangada to Moribeca ; which approaching, 

 he perceiv'd the Way ftopt up with fell'd Trees . wherefore he march'd about to the 

 Village, which he found forfaken by the Inhabitants, and all the Houfes left empty, 

 onely five hundred Chefts of Sugar that had been brought thither from Verga\ 

 which Scbuppe Commanded to be fee on fire with the Village, leaving oncly the 

 Church, and at his Return burnt alfo a Sugar-Mill. 



The Governor Albuquerque having formerly never fpar'd any Hollanders which Article, be- 

 fell into his hands, began now to be better advi/d ; and it was alfo Agreed upon S^MrJS 

 between the King of Spain and States of the United Netherlands, That they fhould **^m 

 burn no Church, unlefs the one, or the other Party made refiftance in the fame 5 * ^ 

 That the Victor fhould be oblig'd, upon requeft of Quarter, to fpare his Enemies', 

 and releafe the Prifoners for an indifferent fum of Money . That both Parties 

 fhould forbear to ufe chew'd or poyfon'd Bullets. 



Scbuppe being chofen Chief over the MUitia irifymbach's Place (who dy'd of his 

 Wound,) lay not long ftill, butfetting Sail with eleven Ships to the Ifle Tamarica, 

 Landed feven Companies before the Caftle Nojira Sennora de (inception ; which, 

 though well provided and fortifi'd, the Governor Tignioro furrendred, on Condition 

 that he might depart with all his Men and the Church Ornaments. 



Matthias Van Qeulen and Schuppt Rowing up the Stream Goiana with Sloops and 

 Boats, put to flight Laurence CaValcanti, burnt divers Sugar-Mills, and took abun- 

 dance of rich Merchandize : Ten days they made havock in the middle of their 

 Enemies Countreys without any refiftance . for all of them fled to the Alias % 

 (fo they call the Braftlian Villages) : At laft they return'd home with great Booty, 

 efpecially of Sugar and Brafile Wood . whileft thofe at %eciffa were not idle, doing 

 the fortuguefe great mifchief by their continual Sallies, Tourlong burning a Fiflicrs 

 Village, and Bongarfon a ftately Banquetting-houfe belonging to Cavalcant near 

 Arryal . as alfo Pedro Jcunha de Andada's Sugar-Mill, from whence he took great 

 Booty. 



About the fame time the Tortuguefe of feveral Parts,tcrrifi'd by continual Alarms The *«* 

 and Lofles, began to incline to the Weft-India Company, believing that they fhould f^ 1 " 

 utterly be ruin'd, if they continu'd to joyn with Albuquerque's Party (who claimed £/.' 

 Pernambuco wholly to himfelf) and therefore car'd not whether he or the Hollanders 

 were Mafters,fo they might live peaceably. Mean while the Hollanders march'd from 

 the Afogados to Arryal : Scbuppe marching before with two hundred and fifty Sea- 

 men, was follow'd by the Lieutenant-Colonel De Fries, and he by a Company of 

 Negro's that carry 'd Provifions j next Byma march'd with the Referve. The Trea- 

 favtvJohnGyfelingaXCo accompanied the Army, which Encamp'd near Francifco Brito 

 Machados Wind-Mill, and Garrifon'd the half-finifh'd Fort near the Sugar-Mill be*
