Published by Order of the late 〈…〉 . From Monday June 4. to Monday June 11. 1660. BY Letter from Steepholm Island we are certainly informed , that Col. Okey and Lieut. General Ludlow were there , but with no intent to adde to their former crimes by raising a new disturbance , but in expectation of a Bark to carry them over towards France , where they might shelter themselves from that punishment which their guilt tells them they have deserved . The Bark came to them , and they on Friday the first of June went thence . Lieut. Col. Barrow of C●lonel Twisletons Regiment , upon notice of it , is gone 〈◊〉 them in a Vessel to Scilly Island , whether it is thought they are gone to bring them back , if he can finde them , to receive such punishment as shall be thought fit to be inflicted on them . On Saturday the second of this moneth , His Majesty conterred the Honor of Knighthood on Major William Salhield . Naples , May 8. This week , the Procession called of San Gennaro , our Protector hath been made with much more solemnity then for many years by past . Our Archbishop , our Vice-Roy , and all the Tribunals of Judicature , were present to that ceremony . The Pyrates of Barbary have lately taken upon our coasts , a Bark and a Felluck belonging to this City , that were going towards the Isle of Sardinia . The Prince of Montesarchio is preparing to go with 2000 Nepolitan foot , and 1000 Germans , designed against Portugal ; and some of his Vessels are to take in at ●inal the foot that are in the M●l●nez , to be employed in the same expedition . Presburgh , May 13. An Express is lately gone from home to advise the Emperor , that the Bashaw of Buda , having crossed the river of Tyssa with 20000 men , hath taken his head quarters in a place belonging to Hungary , where he makes a cruel havock , expecting some more forces that are to come to him , which when he hath joyned , he will march against Prince Ragotski , who likewise doth of his side , put himself in the best posture he can to oppose them . The eighth instant the Palatine of Hungary arived at Tetzche , intending to continue his march towards Pant●kel , where the Rendezvous is for all the Imperial forces , that are to be employed in Hungary , Rome , May 15.

Koningsburgh , May 18. It is reported here very confidently , that the Poles have surprised the City of Vilna in Lithuania , where they are said to have slain or taken prisoners most of the Moscovites that were in it ; but that having been necessitated to retire for want of Ammunitions to defend themselves against the Castle , which annoyed them much with its Canons , the Moscovites flew most of the Inhabitants , accusing them to have had intelligence with their enemies . Since which time , it is said they are about fortifying the place more and more , to secure themselves against a second enterprise ; whereof we expect a confirmation . Elbing , May 20 Extraordinary rejoycings have been made here for the publication of the peace , whereof the Swedes do expect the Ratification by the States of Poland , which is to be granted about the beginning of the next moneth , after which they are to go out of this place ; in the mean while , the Imperial forces in Prussia have been commanded to march into Hungary , to joyn with the Army that is gathering there . Wismar , May 23. The peace and the cessation of arms , have been published two days since in the Imperial army ; and at the same time , all Officers and Soldiers were prohibited to make any hostility against the Swedes , nor to make any devastation in any place belonging unto them . Whereof advice hath been sent by an Express to General Wrangle , who is at Stralsond , to know of him how to deal with the Imperialists , whose Purvoyers have never yet been able to obtain leave to buy here such things as they want . Paris , 8. June , 1660. Marshal de Turenne hath obtained of the King the Abby of Torn●s in Burgundy , being vacant by the death of Mr. de Chandenoux , for the Abbot of Bouillon his Nephew .

That the Marriage was to be solemnized by Proxie the second or third inst●nt , and soon after would be consummated , and the Interview follow presently . Mr. de Brisacies having complained to Cardinal Maza●●ne , That he was u●justly turned out of his Government of Cirick in Lorrain by the Marshal de la Forte ; t●e said Cardinal hath approved of his complaint , and the King gave him leave to return to his command ; which having done , the said Marshal of his own Authority besieged him in that place ; which coming to the Kings Ea●s . Order hath been sent to the said Marshal , by an Express , to draw back his Forces , and to let the said Mr. Basacies and his Family go out of it safely . The said Marshal hath ●●ely been cast in a business at Law , concerning the Mannor of 〈◊〉 Loupe , which hath been adjudged to the Countess of O●onne , the eldest Daughter of her House . The Queen of England hath lately sent from hence , by Mr. Sambo●● , the Clothes and other Furnitures which were to serve the King her Son at his entring into London ; and for a greater diligence fresh horses were made ready before at every stage . The Princess of Conti is returned hither from the Waters at Bourbon . The second instant , the Parliament of Paris issued an Arrest , commanding the Duke of Elboeuf to represent within a fortnight the prisoner forcibly taken by his Guard out of the prisons of the Presidial of Amiens : Two days since , Mr. de G●mont , ordinary Gentleman to the King , came this way , going into England to congratulate the King of England in their Majesties name ; and is to remain there until ●n extraordinary Ambassador be sent from this Court to London . Yesterday morning , Mr. Akakia went from hence towards the Court , whither he carries the Treaty of Pe●ce between Swedeland and Poland , to be ratified by his most Christian Majesty , as Warrranter in the behalf of the Swedes .

After Sermon was ended , they dined together , where was much civil mirth and friendship , and as they first met upon necessity , and with sadness for want of the Kings presence ; so now upon expectation of his most gracious Majesties arrival , they could not but part with great Joy , as we●l for his Return , to receive the Crown , as his being born that day H●ir to it , and are all retiring home to live his Loyal Subjects .

To which , His Majesty returned a very gracious Answer , and gave them the honor t● kiss His Hand . His Majesty hath to add the Earl o●Oxford Knight of the most Noble Order of the Gart●r . His Majesty hath been pleased likewise to confer the honor of Knighthood on several Gentlemen , and amongst the rest , on Col. Ralph Knight , a person that in obedience to his Excellencies commands , hath been very active in this happy restauration of his Majesty to his people . St. John de Luz , 27 May . 1660 , The Marriage between the King and the Infanta is to be celebrated , as we hear , at Fontarabia upon the second of the next moneth , and to be consummated here four days after We hear that the Spaniards are much amazed to see our Court so gallant and so richly apparelled , their own , though very sumptuous , being much inferior to it . The Deputies of the Rentier● of Parts are arrived here , and had their audience of the Cardinal Mazarine , who told them the King was very much satisfied with their proceedings , and that upon the delivery of their Memorials , they would speedily have a favourable Answer . The King hath given his consent to the Ma●riage betwixt the Count of Lillibone and the Duke of Lorrains Daughter by Madame de Canturoix , whom the said Duke hath sent a Gentleman to fetch from Mons in Haynault . Orange , the same date . Mr. de Bezons having received an Order from the Court of France for the demolishi●g of the Fortifications of this place , hath sent hither 1000 men out of Languedoc , and as many from Dauphine , to hasten the work ; the more diligence being used therein , as the most intelligent persons do judge , because the Court would have it don● b●fo●e ●h● Ki●g of England should be able to make an instance to the contrary . From Legorn , May 14. 1660. The three Galleys of the grand Duke of Tuscany are gone from hence towards the Levant , for the service of the Republick of Venice . The Patron of a Bark lately arrived here from Candia , doth report that he hath seen about Sicily , the Ships lately gone from Toulon with the French Infantry . St. John de Luz , May 30. 1660. The Cardinal Mazarin hath received a Letter from Don Lewis d' Aro , whereby he tells him , that the King of Spain was no less weary of being upon the frontier , then his most Christian Majesty himself , and that therefore he earnestly wished that all things might be speedily regulated to the mutual satisfaction of both the Nations . The 28 instant , the King gave order for the preparing of the Church of St. John in this Town for the celebrating of his Marriage . The same day , the King sent an Express into Provence , to have all the French guards that were there sent speedily to Paris . At the same time , the Bishop of Orange , and M. de Lyonne , were sent to the Spanish Court . The regulating of the limits of Roussillon hath been ended , with content to each the parties , and much civility between the two chief Ministers . As M. de Lyonne was debating those differences with the Spanish Commissioners , and chiefly with Don Lewis d' Aro at Fontarabia , an Express came thither , who acquainted with the King of Spains resolution to refer wholly his interests to Cardinal Mazarin , to whom the said M. de Lyonne presently repaired to acquaint him with the said Declaration of the King of Spain ; and further , that Don Lewis d' Aro would subscribe whatsoever the said Cardinal should pronounce upon that subject . The same was confirmed again the next day by the Count de Fuensaldagne , sent expresly to the French Court , for that purpose , and to take directions for the marriage , and for the enterview of the two Kings . It is thought the celebration of the said marriage will be at Fontarabia upon the second of June , the first enterview the third , the second upon the fifth , and the Consummation upon the sixth , that the Court might set forward for Paris upon the tenth . The King shall carry with him to the enterview but two hundred musketiers , a Brigade of his light horsemen , as many of his Gensd'armes , and two hundred of his French Guards , his Majesty having reduced himself to that small number , that his Guard might not be bigger then that of the King of Spain , who was expected yesternight at Fontarabia . Paris , Iune 12. 1660. The 7 instant , the Queen of England received an Express from the King her Son , who advised her Majesty of his safe arrival to Canterbury , and of his reception by General Monck , and an infinite number of his Subjects . The ninth , her Majesty made great rejoycings at the Palais Cardinal , where many fire-works , and other bonfires expressed the joy of her Court , several hogsheads of Wine having been given to the people , and a Ball there danced that night , where Duke de Beauort was much admired . This week several reports did fly abroad here of a massacre lately happened at Dieppe , upon the French Protestant Inhabitants of that place , but upon the best enquiry , the business is briefly thus : About ten or fifteen dayes since , some Scholars of that Town , and other rude people , inticed , as it is supposed by the Priests and Moncks , came forth into the Suburbs , where the Protestant Church is situated , and where at that time the Synod of the Province was held , and having forcibly broken the gate of the Church-yard , and part of the walls , they broke likewise the Church-door , and coming in great number into the Church , they overthrew all the seats and benches , broke to pieces the Pulpit , and made great havock there , and had they not been hindered , would have burned the Church to the ground ; but partly the Magistrates by their authority , to avoid the tumult , and p●●tly the Capucines shrewdly suspected to have set them on , by their admonition slappeased them , and made them retire ; but before they had , besides what is aforesaid , broke open the Chamber of the Consistory , ransacked all the Books , Registers and Papers there , which they carried away with them : The several Protestant Ministers of that place , and some other Inhabitants , fearing this tumult would have some further consequences by the rage of their implacable enemies , saved themselves , some to Rouen , and some to other places : What hath since happened therein , is not yet come to our knowledge , only some report that the Magistrate of the place have since banished out of it the chiefest Ringleaders of that sedition . We hear likewise that the same happened about the same time at Falaise , and other places of Normandy , which gives some ground of suspition that it is a general combination hatched and carried on under-hand , for a general mischief upon those lambs scattered among the wolves . Thursday , June 7. This day was published a Proclamation by his Majesty , to summon the persons therein named , who sate , gave Judgement , and assisted in that horrid and detestable murder of his Majesties Royal Father of blessed memory , to appear and render themselves within fourteen dayes after the publishing of that his Majesties Royal Proclamation , to the Speaker or Speakers of the House of Peers or Commons , the Lord Mayor of the City of London , or the Sheriffs of the respective Counties of England or Wales ; and that no person harbour or conceal them , under misprisson of Treason .

This day the Right Honourable the Lord Viscount Faulkland , ( one of the Citizens in Parliament for the City of Oxon ) did present to his sacred Maj●sty the loyal and dutiful affections of that antient City , which they have alwayes borne to his Majesty , and also to his late royal Father , and in particular did present an Instrument under the common s●al of the said City , whereby they did most cheerfully undertake for ever hereafter to pay to his Majesty the antient ●ee-farm rent due from the said City , which they were nec●ssitated to purchase from the late usu●ped powers for a considerable sum of money ; all which his Majesty did most g●aciously accept from them , and did then vouchsafe the honor to the Mayor , and divers worthy members of that City there present , to kiss his Royal hand , graciously declaring that he would alwayes vouchsafe his particular grace , favour , and protection to that antient and loyal City .

Whereas in a certain News-book published on Friday , June 1. some aspersions are cast upon the Mayor , Aldermen , and Corporation of Chesterfield in Darbyshire , and the Lecturer of that place , Mr. Tho. Forth , intimating their negligence in not proclaiming the King with that due ceremony they ought : These are to certifie the contrary , that the Mayor , Aldermen , and that Corporation , proclaimed his Majesty in the most solemn manner that could be expected from such a place , and the Lecture is also very hearty in his expressions in praying for his sacred Majesty .

The Committee that attended his Highness the Duke of Glocester , to give him the thanks of the House for the affection he had expressed in his Letter to them , reported , that the Duke did very kindly accept it , and assured them of the continuance of his respect to them , and that it should be his study still to declare it to them . The House appointed a Committee to consider of the Queens Joynture , and to consider of a way to procure a present supply for her Majesty , and report the 〈◊〉 .
