     summary: The first , as I remember , was to know what the Successes of the French King's Arms have been this Campaign . As to the first , it is true the intemperate Spring , and thereby the late opening of the Campaign , on the part of the French , and especially that King 's surprizing return to Versailles , and his detaching from hence so great a part of his Troops to the Rhine , put us in great hopes that we should have been able to have at least made a good Defence this Summer ; yea , our States expected some considerable Victory , and the regaining some Frontier Town from the French.

     summary: This is an old ruined Town , where the Spaniards had once a Garison , but the French upon pretence that it was within the Chatelleine of Tournay , beat them out of it , and no Garison has been in it since There is hardly a finer place in all the Seventeen Provinces for an Army to incamp upon , than the Plains of Cambron , where the strength and scituation equals the beauty and conveniency of the Plain , which reaches from the Village of Irchonwetz to Lens upon the little River that runs by Cambron , about five English Miles in length , with a small rising over against Chievres , from whence we could have a perfect prospect of the Camp from the Right to the Left. From the Meuse to Audenarde we met with no Garrison of ours upon the March , but that of Aeth ; the French they had in their way Namur , Charleroy , Mons , Conde , Valencionnes , and Tournay ; and unless when we passed by the Plain of Cambron , and the Town of Aeth , we marched upon the Enemy's Country , but the French still near their own numerous Garrisons : From whence the Enemy had this advantage over us for a speedy March , that the Boors were all fled to their Garrisous with their Effects , from whence they could not onely get Supplies of Refreshments for their Infantry upon every halt , but also Waggons to bring the Baggage , the Sick and the wearied Soldiers after them , in so much that though their Battalions were not of One Hundred Men each , at their coming up to a Camp or Halt , yet still by Night all the rest were brought up in Waggons , who could not march and follow the Army ; and the Soldiers Bagagge being carried in the same Waggons , they marched only with their Arms so much lighter than ours This is a conveniency the French had , and which 't is plain we wanted :

At the Camp several Souldiers were by a Priest inveagled to desert our Army and go over to the French , some whereof were taken in the Act , and shot , but the Priest made his Escape .

     summary: It is not long since the French took Licences from the English Governor of New Found-Land , to Fish in the Seas upon that Coast , and paid a Tribute for such Licences , as an acknowledgment of the sole Right of the Crown of England to that Island ; And yet of late , the Encroachments of the French upon Our said Island , and Our Subjects Trade and Fishery have been more like the Invasions of an Enemy , than becoming Friends , who enjoyed the Advantages of that Trade only by Permission . The Proceedings of the French King against Our Subjects in Europe , are so Notorious , that We shall not need to enlarge upon them ; his countenancing the Seizure of English Ships by French Privateers , forbidding the Importation of great part of the Product and Manufactures of Our Kingdom , and imposing exorbitant Customes upon the rest , notwithstanding the vast Advantage he and the French Nation reap by their Commerce with England , are sufficient Evidences of his Designs to destroy the Trade , and consequently to ru●ne the Navigation , upon which the Wealth and Safety of this Nation very much depends .
