THE Parliamentary Intelligencer , COMPRISING The Sum of Forraign Intelligence , with the Affairs now in Agitation in England , Scotland , and Ireland . For Information of the People . Published by Order . From Monday July 2. to Monday July 9. 1660. Coppenhagen June 17. THe Twenty second instant , the Swedes removed their Camp from before this place , and slighted all their Fortifications . They have scattered in all the small places round about us all the forces they had here , amounting to about 3500 Horse and Foot , and whilst they are busie about the execution of the other Articles of the Treaty , the King of Denmark●s preparing a great Fleet , to transport out of this Island all the Swedish Militiaes , who are reported to amount yet to above 10000 men . The two Ambassadors of the States General of the United Provinces , and the English Ambassadors are gone to Stockholm , to congratulate the Queen Regent of Swedland , upon the conclusion of that Peace ; and Mr. Hannibal Seested is likewise to repair thither with two Counsellors of State , of his Danish Majesty , to propound to her Majesty and to the States of that Kingdom an Equivalent instead of the Isle of Bornholme , which by vertue of the same Treaty , is to be restored within a years time to the Crown of Swedland , the other Ambassadors of Holland having order to remain here , untill the Ratification of the said Treaty doth come . Dantzick June 19. 1660. This week the Ambassador that was sent by the Emperor to be present at the Treaty of Oliva , went away for Vienna , as did the Count of Koningsmark , upon the advice he had that the Duke of Curland was reestablished in his Dominions . It is thought that the said Count is gone to Warsow to conclude a strict alliance between Swedland and Poland , for a conjunction of the Forces of both the Crowns against the Muscovites , who are marching with a most potent Army , which is to be commanded by the Grand Duke himself , which hath obliged his Polish Majesty to hasten the Dyet , wherein a successor to the Crown is to be nominated , and the most speedy means how to raise an Army of fourscore thousand men , to be likewise debated . Our Magistrates have sent some Deputies to Warsow , to demand the revocation of some new Impositions laid on all kinde of Merchandizes and Wares ; but although our commerce be exceedingly prejudiced by it , there is so much the less likelihood of obtaining that demand , in regard the moneys accruing by the said Impositions , are particularly designed for that War , in case the States , upon their next meeting , do not finde some other way to get money for it . Flensburgh , June 22. 1660. The Danish Forces commanded by the Count Eberstein about Tonningen , having received Orders to march towards Eyderstede , eight Companies of them are gone into Gluckstadt , to reinforce the Garrison there , and the rest are to remain in the County of E●nnembergh . The young Count ●on●ngsmark , who was detained prisoner in Gluckstadt , is released , with General Horn and the other Swedish prisoners . Lubeck , June 25. 1660. All things are making ready for the march of the Imperial Forces that are in Pomerania and Mecklenburgh , as also for the removing of the Swedish Forces out of Zealand , and the Isles of L●land , Falster and Moen . The Swedish Forces are to be transported into Swedland , and into the Archbishoprick of Bremen , and the Imperial Forces to pass into Bohemia , from whence the Emperor doth intend to draw his Forces to be sent into Hungary . It is supposed that a Dyet is to be very suddenly called to make an alliance with the Princes of the Empire , against the Grand Signior . The King of Denmark is likewise to repair very speedily to Flensburgh , to give them the necessary Orders , and to reform his Militia ; but it is not thought he will disband his German Forces , which he intends to make use of as occasion shall serve . Wednesday , June 27. This day the Mayor of S. Albans , accompanied with Mr. Foxwist the Recorder , and some of the principal Burgesses his brethren , as the Representatives of the said Corporation , made their humble Address to his Majesty , the Recorder making a short and pithy speech by way of congratulation of his Majesties happy restoration to his Royal throne , and assurance of their loyalty and allegiance to his Majesty , and presented him with a resignation of the Fee farm rent purchased by the Corporation in his Majesties absence , and the arrears incurred in the mean time . Which his Majesty was pleased graciously to accept , and to express his acceptance thereof , and that the Corporation should , as occasion required , participate of his Royal grace and favor . I have as I acquainted you in my last , made enquiry into the business of Captain Rolle , which was contradicted in some late Pamphlets ; but upon discourse with Sir James Smith and Mr. Calma●y , I find that the said Captain Rolle was seised for speaking words , and that Mr. Calmady giving too much credit to him that brought the Note , did in haste signe it . Wednesday , Doctor Colladon Deputy from the Common-wealth of Geneva , having presented unto his Majesty the Letters of the Lords Seyndies and Magistrates , and of the Pastors and Professors of that place , congratulating his Majesties happy return and restauration to his Kingdoms : And demanded in their name of his Majesty , the continuation of his Royal favor and good affection towards them . His Majesty was pleased to return them thanks for the expression of so cordial a respect , and to give the said Deputy a very gracious and acceptable answer upon his demand . His Majesty having been pleased to bestow a Grant for the Degree and Honor of Baronet upon Nicholas Steward of Hartley Mawdit , in the County of Southampton Esq a Patent passed under the Great Seal of England , for conferring the said Honor and Degree of Baronet upon the said Sir Nicholas Steward accordingly . Whitehall . On Monday last , Colonel Sir John Robinson , Alderman of London , and a Member of this Parliament , was by his Majesty made Lieutenant of the Tower of London ; an action most acceptable not only to the City and Parliament , but indeed to the whole Nation , the very Prisoners themselves being glad of his company . The Kingdom having for a long time , by reason of his Majesties absence , been troubled with the Evil , great numbers have lately flock'd for cure . His Sacred Majesty on Monday last touched Two hundred and fifty in the Banqu●ting-house ; amongst whom , when his Majesty was delivering the Gold , one shuffled himself in out of an hope of profit , which had not been strok'd ; but his Majesty presently discovered him , saying , This man hath not yet been touch'd . His Majesty hath for the future appointed every Friday for the cure ; at which time Two hundred , and no more , are to be presented to him ; who are first to repair to Mr. Knight his Majesties Chyrurgion , living in the Cross-guns in Russel street , Covent garden , over against the Rose-Tavern , for their Tickets . That none might lose their labor , he thought fit to make it known , that he will be at his ho●e every Wednesday and Thursday from two till six of the clock , to attend that service : And if any person of quality shall send to him , he will wait upon them at their lodgings , upon notice given to him . On Tuesday , his Majesty was pleased to be at supper with the Lord Berclay , where he was very highly entertained . His Majesty hath been graciously pleased to make Sir William Compton Brother to the Earle of Northamton , Master of his Majesties Ordnance ; Co●o●●l William Leg Lievtenant of the Ordnance , Persons that have suffered with his Majesty in all his Troubles : and Major Francis Nicols Surveyor of his Ordnance for his faithfulness in adhering to his Excellency in all these late changes . These following were restored to their Offices being formerly put out for serving his Majesty , viz. Edward Sherborne to his place of Clerke to his Majesties Ordnance : Mr. Marsh to his place of Storekeeper , and Mr. Clarke formerly Commissary General in his late Majesties Army , to his place of Clarke of the Deliveries . His Majesty conferred on Mr. Hore the Office of Comptroller of His Majesties Mint . That the Soldiery may see the affection that his Sacred Majesty hath for the Arm ; , he hath been pleased to do them so much honor ▪ as to take that Regiment that was lately Col. Unton Crooks , for his own , which is now st●led The Royal Regiment ; what the names of the Officers are , you may see in the next . His Highness the Duke of York hath so far honored the Regiment of the Lord Falconberg , as to own it , which is now called the Duke of Yorks Regiment , the Lord Falconberg and the Officers being still continued . From his Excellencies Quarters at the Cockpit . His Excellency hath been pleased lately to change some Officers , and dispose their Commands to others . He hath given the comm●nd of the ●roop ▪ late Captain Shermans in the Lord Viscount Falklands R●gim●nt , to Col. Henry Heylin . The Troop that was late Captain Greenwoods in the same Regiment , to Capt. Tho. Morley . The Company late Major Waterhouses in Col. Daniels Regiment , to Capt. Leonard Aizay . His Excellency hath likewise commissioned Major Adam Brown , br●ther to Sir Ambrose Brown , to be Major of Sir Anthony Ashley Coopers Regiment , being about to confer a greater honor on Major Harley . Westminster . Phinehas Pain that was lately Committed upon misinformaon given , that he was the person that executed his late Majesty , is , upon Examination , discharged . Naples the 5 of June 1660. Our Vice Roy having received an express from the Spanish Ambassador residing at Rome , sent to give him notice of the conclusion of the Peace of the Empire , he caused presently the Te Deum to be s●●g for it , in the Church of St. James , in the presence of all our Magistrates , and with the noyse of all the Canons of our Castles , and other tokens of joy ordinarily made use of on such occasions . Madrid 9 June 1660. The Order of our Lady of the mercy and redemption of the Slaves , having sent some Deputys to Algier , about March last , namely some Fryers of the Province of Castille and Andalousia , they brought from thence , about the later end of the last month 36● Slaves , whom they had redeemed , and amongst others severall Moncks of the Orders of St. Dominick , St. Francis and St. Austin . And because the money they carried for that purpose , was not found sufficient for redeeming so great a number ; Father Anthonio de Rigo remained as an Ostage , for the performance of the fourth Vow of that Order . The preparations against Portugal are continued every where , but the season being very much spent already , many are of opinion that they will not be made use of this yeare . Rome 12 June 1660. Within these few daies , Monsieur Boncompagno , Arch-B●shop of Bononia , arived here , and having repaired to salute the Pope , he declared him his Magior-Dome . The 5 instant Cardinal Barbarigo , being come to the Palace Quirinal , the received there the Cardinals ●hat from the Pope's owne hand , after the usuall manner , and having been very sumptuously feasted by Cardinal Chigi , with Cardinal Mancini , he began his visits of the Colledge of Cardinalls , by that of Cardinal Barberin , the Sub-Deane of that Colledge . The 6. Cardinal Vecchiacelli , Bishop of Rietti , was consecrated in the new Church by Cardinal Rospigliosi , assisted therein by Mr. Signi Archbishop of Thessalonica , and Mr. Caraffa Archbishop of Patrasso . The same day , the young son , of whom the Princess Borghese was lately delivered , was christened in the church of S. Laurence , by Cardinal Chigi , in the Popes behalf , and named Marc Antonio , John Maria , Joseph , Philip , Thomas , Nicholas , Francis , Dominick , Bernardino , Gaspard and Caetan . The next day the Propositions were made for the Bishopricks , and Cardinal d'Este propounded that of Beziers in France , for the Abbot Bonzi . Venice , June 22 , 1660. The 6. inst●nt , Te Deum was sung in our Cathedral church for the peace between Swed●land , Poland , and their Allies . The same day , the Dowager Empress went from hence for ●u●enburgh in S●iria , where she will expect the Dutchess of M●n●●● , her mother . Since the confirmation of the news of the defeat of Prince Ragotsky's forces , 6000 men have been commanded to march with all speed towards the frontiers of Hungaria , to join with the Imperial army , and order hath been given to the Commander in chief , to reinforce the chiefest garrisons , so that they may hinder the progress of the Turkish army , who seem to have a design to advance that way . But it is thought they will soon alter their resolutions , if what we have heard by letters from thence prove true , that Prince Ragotsky having gathered the remainder of his forces , hath so resolutely fallen on the Turkish army , in a narrow place , that 5 or 6000 of them were slain there , and that he hath regained most of the prisoners taken from him . In the mean while , we are confidently informed , that that Prince not finding himself able to oppose the forces that are pre●●●ing against him , without a very potent assistance , hath off●red unto the Emperor to put all the important places of Transilvania into his hands , and wholly to renounce any engagement with the Turkish Empire . Regenspurgh , June 15. The S. instant , the Cardinal of Osnabruck our Bishop had his Synod in this place , where he found about 600 Churchmen of this Diocese , and ended it as he had begun it , by a general Procession .

WHereas there is a Pamphlet lately published , with no name to it , wherein amongst many accusations of several persons , Tho. Viner , Alderman of London ( being Sheriff of London when his Prince was murthered ) is said to be then present : This is to acquaint you , that it is a false aspersion , he being not there when that horrid execution was done , but did declare his detestation of so foul and vile an act . And whereas the Pamphleteer further saith , that the said Alderman Viner got well by ordering the massy heaps of plate for the Mint , that is also false , he never having the ordering of any of the Publick massy heaps of plate for the Mint , nor did he at any time finger one penny of the Publicks money . Sir Iohn VVitterong , who had disbursed several great sums of money upon many of his Maiesties pictures , to preserve them from worse hands , did lately present them all to his Maiesty gratis . Mr. Combes lately restored to his Maiesty Land belonging to the Crowne , which he had purchased at a considerable value at Hemsted in Hertfordshire .

There is a particular List given unto his Maiesty of the names of all such as have bought his Maiesties Lands , and what they bought , whereby it may fairly be expected that they will be as just to his Maiesty as those honest Gent. of Hertfordshire have been . Hamburgh , June 17. The Swede and Pole make themselves ready to fall on the Muscovite , who is much distressed by the incursion of the Tartar , who falling into Russia , gave the Muscovite a great overthrow , sack'd and harras'd the Country , and carried away many thousand slaves . On the other side the Cossacks are faln in , destroying all they meet with . The Muscovites that are hemm'd in at Lochwith , it 's thought cannot get off without great loss , though the Muscovite dreins all his Garrisons to make a body to relieve their Army there . The white Russians have made a confederacy to joyn with the Pole against their Lord and Emperour of Russia , as soon as the Pole shall march into the Field with a considerable Army . The Polish General Carnetzky hath defeated the Muscovy General Cowingzky , and cut him off 7000 men , who is retreated with the rest toward the Wilda at Lachowitz . There is a discourse here , that the Swede having yet his Fleet that was kept in by Vice-Admiral de Ruyter at liberty , will joyn with others at Landscrown and Gottenburgh to infest Arch-Angelo and destroy the Muscovite there . The Poles have taken Buckowa , which cost the Muscovites so many years siege , so that Muscovy is now reduced to a very sad condition . They thirst after peace , which if not granted them they threaten to cut their Governour Nassorkin in pieces , and extirpate his whole Generation . Burdeaux , Iune 29. 1660. The 24 instant , the Queen made her devotions in the Covent of the Carmelites , Nuns of this place , and the next day their Majesties did the like in the Church of Saint Andrew .

The 26 , the Town-house gave to their Majesties the divertisement of a great fire-work erected before their Majesties lodgings . The 27 , their Majesties went aboard the great Boat presented to them by our Jurates at Cadillac , and departed , our Cannon playing all that while , with several volleys of the Kings Musketeers , who went before in two great boats , and were followed in a third boat by his Majesties Trumpeters . The boat wherein were their Majesties was drawn by three barks , in each of which were twelve men rowing in blew coats , laced with silver lace , and the rest of the Court followed in several other Boats , which made a little , but very pleasing Fleet . Whitehall . On Wednesday the fourth of July , the Mayor , Recorder , Aldermen , and capital Burgesses of the corporation of Doncaster , in the County of York , having the honor to be introduced to his Majesty by the Earl of Dunfreeze , Lord Castleton , and Sir John Dawney , for a demonstration of their loyalty , duty and affection to his Majesty , humbly presented by the hands of Thomas Bradford their Mayor , a congratulatory Address , wherein they returned all possible thanks to Almighty God , who had been graciously pleased to restore his Majesty to his people , and his people to his Majesties Government , ingaging themselves to defend his Majesties sacred person and Government against all opposers , and therewith the Mayor tendered a surrender of a Fee-farm rent of 74 l. 13 s. 11 d. ob ▪ per annum , an ancient Flower of the Crown , which being in these times exposed to sale , they had redeemed out of other hands , and now joyfully restored them to his Majesty , both which his Majesty was pleased very graciously to accept of , and returned them thanks , with many particular expressions of affection and favour to that Town . The same day Doctor ●yam , a person of great learning and integrity , who attended his sacred Majesty in his troubles , as long as his age did enable him to travel , was this day sworn Chaplain Extraordinary to his Majesty . On Thursday his Sacred Majesty , and both Houses of Parliament , were entertained by the City of London at Guild-hall ; the unseasonable weather took off much of the solemnity which was intended to be performed , so that his Majesty went into London attended onely by his own houshold guards , which proceeded in this order , A●jutant General Miller rode before at some little distance to make way , after whom went Sir William Throckmorton , now Knight Marshal , his footmen and servants waiting on either side of him , before six Trumpets , then a Kettle-Drum , another Class of seven Trumpets , six Maces , the Heralds in rich coats , the pages and footmen , and next his Majesties Coach with six horses , guarded on both sides with his Majesties Royal Band of Pensioners ( walking on foot with their pistols in their hand , under the Command of the most noble and valient E. of Cleaveland their Captain ) the Equires and several of his Majesties servants , next them came the Yeomen of the Guard , then the Lord Chancellor in his Coach , the Duke of Buckingham in his , and so all the Nobility in their order . The Speaker of the House of Commons in his Coach and six horses , attended by a troop of horse that were upon their guard that day , and after him the House of Commons in Coaches . In London several of the pent-houses and windows were adorned with Tapestry , a lane made by the Liveries of the several Companies , and many Pageants in the streets . In St. Pauls Church-yard , the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and several others of the City richly accoutred met his Majesty , and from thence conducted him to Guild-hall . The Gentlemen of the Artillery led by the most valient and learned John Lord Lucas , at Cheapside opened to the right and left , and guarded both sides of the way whilst his Majesty passed through . Being come to Guild-hall , Carpets were spread from the Hall down to the Council-Chamber for his Majesty to tread on . Before dinner Sir William Wild the Recorder made a Speech to his Majesty , declaring the great honor that his Majesty was pleased to bestow on them in deigning formerly to send to them his most gracious Letter and Declaration , and now to adde to that kindness , by affording them his Royal presence , &c. At the upper end of the great Hall , the Hosting towards the West was raised three ascents , where was placed a Chair of State , and a rich Canopy , where his Majesty and his two Royal Brothers dined , where his Majesties servants , and several Aldermen and Common-Council-men attended . The House of Peers , and House of Commons dined at other tables in the great Hall , attended likewise by Aldermen and Common-Council-men ; at the sound of the loud musick the whole service was set on the Table , and during the whole dinner time they were entertained with variety of musick , both instrumental and vocal . After dinner was a very costly banquet , and then an interlude , where a Rustick was represented , to the content of his Majesty , and the rest of the spectators . After this his Majesty retired him into a with-drawing room , where he was pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood on Alderman Reynoldson , Mr. Cleyton , the Chamberlain of London , and Colonel Player his son . On Friday July 6. The Mayor and Citizens of the ancient City of Lincoln , having drawn up an humble Address to his Majesty , together with a resignation of their Fee-farm rent of 81 l. per annum under their Common Seal , did send the same by Robert Marshal Esq and VVilliam South Gent. unto Sir Tho. Meres and Iohn Monson Esq who now serve in Parliament for the said City , which was this day delivered . After a Speech first made by Sir Tho. Meres unto his Sacred Majesty , in behalf of the City of Lincoln , representing unto his Majesty how oft and how much that City had suffered in the late War , and how loyal and faithful the Citizens thereof do continue unto his Majesty , and that as the want of his Majesties Government was their decay , so he being peaceably re-establish'd , they hope to repair their lesses under his protection and favour , he delivered his Majesty this Address . To the Kings Most Excellent Majesty . YOur Majesties most obedient Subjects , the Mayor , Sheriffs , Citizens and Commonalty of your Majesties antient City of Lincoln , do humbly prostrate themselves before your Majesty , acknowledging that through the general defection of your Majesties Subjects in this your Kingdome from their Allegiance , occasioned by the prevalency of the late pretended powers , they were therein involved with the rest of your Majesties Subjects ; and therefore do most humbly and submissively apply themselves , and lay hold on your Majesties most gracious Pardon , and through and under your Majesties gracious favour and clemency do with all humility , as a body incorporate , present to your Majesty their sense and apprehension of Gods mercy to your Majesties Subiects ( giving God the praise ) that Divine Providence hath not onely preserved your sacred person in the midst of many and eminent dangers , but likewise hath made restauration of your Maiesty in peace to your Subjects , and of them to their Allegiance to your most gracious Maiesty , as their undoubted Soveraign ; next they present their hopes and prayers for prosperity and blessings from Almighty God upon your sacred Maiesty , and your Government over them as their King , and beg your protection of their persons and estates by the antient and known Laws of your Kingdom , and your Maiesties aforesaid City of Lincoln , & the incorporate body thereof do with al humble submission to your Maiesty acknowledg , that during the prevalency of the late pretended powers over them , and the rest of your Subjects , to avoid the mischiefs and pressures which in all probability might have occured , if the Fee farm due from your said City had come into the hands and power of such as might have made use of the purchase of it , to have inv●ded their priviledges and interests . Your aforesaid City upon the account of i●vitable necessity , and self-preservation , were constrained to borrow the sum of seven hundred pounds , wherewith to purchase the aforesaid Fee-farm of eighty and one pounds per annum . Now may it please your most Excellent Majesty , your aforesaid Subjects , the Mayor , Sheriffs , Citizens and Comonalty of the City of Lincoln , do hereby for themselves and their Successors . Freely and humbly surrender and resign unto your most Sacred Majesty , all the right & interest which they have or may pretend to the said Fee-farm rent , by reason of the aforesaid purchase : And do also humbly declare , That your said City will yearly render to your Majesty , as your undoubted right and due , from time to time , as it becomes payable ; and will further with all readiness freely do or make a●y further Declaration or publique Act , as your Maje●ties Learned Council shall devise , for confirmation of these presents , or contents of them .

Meres did a second time humbly upon his knee beseech his Majesty hereafter to vouchsafe his favour to that ancient City ; which his Majesty granted accordingly , and as an earnest thereof gave them the honor of his Majesties hand .
