Catalogue description ODOARDO LANSAVEJA [or LANZAVECCHIA, Governor of Breda] to the MARQUIS DE RENTY, Admiral General of his [Spanish] Majesty's forces in the Low Countries.

--This night, at twelve o'clock, I have received orders from his Highness [the Duke of Parma] to send carts and provisions to Antwerp; but as the company of the Sieur Camillo di Monte is much enfeebled by a late skirmish, it will not be possible for me to order provisions both for your Excellency and for Antwerp, unless you can send me some cavalry to convoy them. For the "retyree" from here to Steenberges is too long, and also those of Geertrudenberge and Heusden were yesterday round about us here, and though some have returned to their garrisons, the rest are still out. Herewith I send you his Highness's letter, which I pray you to return.

Postscript.--I await your Excellency's orders before releasing the trumpet from Bergen, and beg you to mention to his Highness the munitio of war which you have taken from here.
