Catalogue description LORD WYLLUGHBY to the illustrious prince, DUKE CASIMIR.

--I have been much gratified by your Serene Highness' letters, brought to me by John Christopher de Steenach, and your commendations of him have increased the wish I already had to serve one who, in his youth, rendered good service to my family. At the time of his arrival, the affairs of Belgium were in a more than usually disturbed state, owing to the projected Spanish war and other matters, but as soon as things improve, no efforts shall be wanting for his advancement. If, meanwhile, I can do you any other service, be assured that I will leave no stone unturned to accomplish it.

Postscript.--On the siege of Bergen being raised, Count Charles Mansfeldt was sent into Guelderland, and, to the great injury of the republic, has occupied Wachtendonck. What further undertakings the enemy has in hand, time will show.
