Span- ish writers assure us that the archives of the house of Toledo contain three authentic letters written by the King to this effect. The Princes of Nassau had not made the best use of their victory, but as their army was still in force, and ex- pecting the co-operation of the Prince of Orange and of the French Huguenots, it became necessary to strike a decisive blow against them. Nor did the Duke tarry; marching into Friesland, he found them strongly posted at Groningen on the banks of the ...Ems, where he defeated and completely destroyed them. Among the advantages the Duke derived from this decisive victory, was the liber- ation of his eldest son, Frederick Marquess of Coria, who had been imprisoned by Philip owing to some affair of gallantry, which we are not well able to explain. The young nobleman was now sent by the King to thank the Duke for the great service he had rendered the state. The Prince of Orange, arriving with an army after the defeat of his brother, was unable to make any impression on the Provinces, and forced to retire into France, and dis- band his army.
