127 despatched the prince de Conde to lead a small army into Franche Comt^, which was then independent of the crown of France^ and which had hound itself, under a treaty guaranteed hy the Swiss cantons, to remain neuter between the French and Imperialists. This treaty^ it would seem, had been violated; and, ap- peasing the Swiss by sums of money, Richelieu spe- culated, upon adding Franche Comt^ to Loraine. The prince de Cond^ therefore entered tbe territory, and laid siege to Dole, expecting t...hat it would speedily sur- render ; but the garrison made a vigorous resistance, and cidled the imperial troops to their aid; on the approach of whom Conde retreated into Burgundy, whither he was shortly after followed by the enemy's forces, which ravaged Uie whole province, notwithstand- ing all that la Valette and the duke of Weimar could do to check them.
It was not alone, however, the approach of the im- perial army which compelled Cgnde to raise the siege of Dole, but events were taking place in the north of France which debarred him from all hope of support.
