Many Officers have got their discharge upon payment of their Arrears , so that they seem to be well satisfied therewith , and content is likewise given to the Common Troopers that are disbanded . From Stockholm of the Thirtieth last past , it is certified , that the English Ambassador Sidney had audience on the 28. of that month , and withal taken his leave . His Majesty hath presented him with a chaine of Gold , and a precious picture case , set round with two Rows of Diamonds , having within the Pictu●e of his late Majesty of Sweden ; and the same night the said Ambassador was entertained with a magnificent Supper in the Kings Garden . I understand that the like Present is to be given to the French Ambassador ; there is shortly a person of Quality to be appointed to go in an Embassie Extraordinary for England , to congratulate his Majesties happy restitution to his Crown and Kingdoms . The Reader may take notice that after several mature Debates concerning this Summers Assizes , his Majesty was graciously pleased to set forth a Proclamation the 23 of this instant July , wherein , out of His Princely care that His loving Subjects may have timely notice of the alterations of the days , hath Declared the several Prefixions given in by His Majesties Justices , for holding the Assizes in the several Circuits , as hereafter folllow , viz.

This day the Borough of Plymouth , as an expression of their unfeigned joy for his Majesties happy Restauration , presented by the hands of the Right Honorable Sir William Morris , one of his Majesties principal Secretaries of State . and Governor of Plymouth , Sergeant Maynard Recorder ; Edward Vowel , Samuel Trellany , Esqs ; and Timothy Alsop Alderman , an honorable Present of Plate , which for the largeness of the pieces , and curiosity of the work , was a Noble Present , and was received very graciously by his Majesty : Amongst the rest was a Fountain Ca●ved with rare art , and curious Figures , out of which , Perfumed Waters were cast up Twenty foot high , and had at the top thereof a curious Perfuming Box , which at the same time issued forth Perfumed Fire . His Majesty , with several persons of Honor was pleased to entertain himself with the sight of it . At the same time the City of Exeter , by the said Sir William Morris , Tho. Bampfield Esq Recorder , Symon Snow Alderman , and Thomas Westlake Town-Clerk , as a Pledge of their Congratulations of his blessed Restauration , and an earnest of their hearty affections , did present His Majesty with several parcels of rich Plate , to a very considerable value for the Mass thereof All persons of both Corporations had the Honor of his Majesties Hand , Serjeant Maynard having declared the affection of the said Citie and Borough in a most elegant Speech , to which his Majesty manifested a particular Approbation , the Serjeant being better heard here than when he forc'd his entrance into the House of Commons ( after two moneths Seclusion ) when those horrid Regicides fell upon that bloody debate , where the Serjeant by Cromwel was divers times demanded to the Bar , as unable to bear the strength and force of the Serjeants Arguments when he pleaded so admirably for the life of the King . July 24. 1660. This day some of the Clergy of the County of Lincoln , in the name of the rest , being brought into the Royal presence by the Earl of Manchester , presented an Address to the Kings most Excellent Majesty , which his Majesty was graciously pleased to accept , with several expressions of favor to the presenters , giving them also the honor to kiss his hand . To the Kings most Excellent Majesty , The most humble Address of the Ministers in the County of Lincoln . Most Dread Soveraign , AMong all the great calamities , which God most justly for our sins hath brought upon us , since the first commencing of our National distractions , none have made so deep impressions of real sorrow upon our hearts , as the barbarous Inhumanity ●cted upon your Royal Father of blessed memory , by certain wicked and deceitful men ; the remembrance of which , as it doth renew our utmost abhorrency of the Act , so of all those Jesuitical Principles , which under any pretence whatsoever have any tendencie to the Deposing , and much more the Murder of Kings . After the loss of the best deserving King the world could then boast of , which was attended with the voice of Blasphemy uttered by our enemies against the true Religion , because some who did profess it , had stained her beauty with their bloody hands ; Gall was added to our Wormwood , by the forced Exile of your Majesty , during whose absence abroad , we could hardly think our selves to be at home . But God who comforteth those who are cast down , gave us hope , in the wonderful preservation of your Majesty a●Worcester , the many supplications made for you by your faithful people , and establishment of your Royal heart with his grace , to resist and overcome a great crowd of temptations both on the right hand and the left , by holding fast the true , antient , Catholique and Apostolical Faith , once delivered unto the Saints . These things were to us as the dawning of the day of Salvation , which God after a dark night of Confusion , hath now ( not by an ordinary working of Providence ) caused to shine upon us . And we have cause to believe , that he who hath subdued the power of your Enemies , will also subdue their hearts ; that as your Majesties Return hath been accompanied with the cordial desire and joy of the most of your Subjects , so your Reign will be with the great love and full satisfaction of all . And this our confidence is more increased by your Majesties gracious , charitable , and healing Declaration of the First of May , and your early Proclamation issued against vicious , debauched , and prophane persons ; for which , as we are always bound to praise God , so we do with all humble thankfulness acknowledg your Majesties special grace and Princely favor . And whatsoever our earnest prayers to God , exhortations to our hearers , and dutiful subjection may possibly contribute to the happiness of your Sacred Person and Government , we shall with all alacrity and faithfulness perform ; beseeching him by whom Kings reign , to increase your graces , preserve your health , prolong your days , and establish the Crown upon your head . It was presented by the hands of the reverend and most learned Doctor Sanderson , his Majesties Professor of Divinity of Oxon , accompanied with that worthy Gentleman Sir Tho. Meeres , and several of the Orthodox and Loyal Clergy , viz. Mr. William Lincoln , Mr. Edward Dixe , Mr. Charls Woodward , Mr. George Cuthbert , Mr. John Coope , Mr. John Merryweather , Mr. Edward Askew , Mr. Edward Boteler , Mr. John Nailor , Mr. Jeremy Vasin , Mr. William Dale , Mr. Robert Alington , Mr. Henry Vaughan , Mr. Andrew Arnold , Mr. Tho. Trot , &c. and about two hundred more , whom ( only for brevities sake ) we omit . The Gentlemen of the Artillery Company , having appointed yesterday the Twenty fourth of July for an extraordinary Exercise of Arms in the Artillery ground , His Highness the Duke of York , ( their Commander in chief ▪ having notice thereof , came thither about four of the Clock in the afternoon , and first passing through the Front of the Body ( who were Four hundred compleatly habited ) to a Tent prepared for his Highness , he then on Foot marched to the Head of them , where that most valiant and most learned John Lord Lucas ( after an Elegant short Speech on his knees to his Highness ) presented him with the Leading-staff of the Company , whereupon the Drums beat with a very loud Acclamation of the Gentlemen in Arms . After silence was commanded , his Highness was pleased to declare , how willingly he accepted of their offer , and would maintain all their Priviledges ; then ( throwing off his Cloak ) he commanded them to march , himself on foot before them ; and having led them about the ground and drawn them up , he went to the Tent-door , wh●re he sate wh●lst the Company marched by , pleased to see such a gallant Company . After that they divided into two Bodies , the one commanded by the Lord Lucas , and the other by Major-Gen . Sir Edward Massey ; the great guns playing , they immediately fell to skirmish , first by Forlorns , afterwards in several figures . At his Highness departure , several Vollies were given . After his departure , the Bodies being joined , the Lord Lucas acquainted them , That a Gentleman , a member and welwisher of the Company , had presented to them a Silver-Partizan , for which ( in name and behalf of all ) his Lordship gave the Donor thanks , July 24. 1660. This day Joseph Payne Esq Major of the city and county of the city of Norwich , and Thomas Rant and William Barneham Esquires , Members of Parliament of the said city , Christopher Jay Esq Alderman , Thomas Wise one of the Sheriffs , Thomas Johnson Alderman , Francis Norris , Robert Bendish Gent. and Tho : Ba●eston Town-clerk , and divers other Citizens of the said city , were brought ●nto the presence of his Majesty by the L. Howard L. Richardson and Sir Horatio Townsend , accompanied with Sir John Holland , Sir Philip Woodhouse . Sir Ralph Hare , Sir William Doyley , with divers other Esquires and Gentlemen in the county of Norfolk ; where the Mayor and the rest of the Citizens presented his Majesty with the resignation of the Feefarm-rents of the said city , under the common seal of the said city , amounting to One hundred thirty and two pounds eighteen sh●llings and three pence yearly , and One thousand pounds in gold , in a Crimson velvet purse , with the word Norwich imbroidered in Gold upon it , as a testimony of their thankfulness to God for his Majesties safe return to the government of his Kingdoms , and of their loyalty and faithfulness to him . And his Majesty gave them a gracious reception , and was pleased to confer the honor of Knighthood upon the said Thomas Rant and Joseph Payne , and gave the honor of his hand to all that company , and promised his constant fav●r and protection to the said city . Since the last , Colo●el Cook ( who formerly kept the Office of Treasurers Remembrancer of the Exchequer ) is come under the Black Rod ; but we forbear to say any thing of him , or any who willingly surrender themselves . We are daily ask'd what 's done in Scotland , by some who are troubled that all is at quiet , and b●cause 't is so , themselves sweat to be●et pretty tales of the Presbytery , Covenanters , &c. as if there were no difference 'twixt 1640. & 1660. But twenty years will not make some men wiser . Yet ( even for their sakes ) we will say and speak tru●h , That his Majesty hath g●ven admittance and au●ience to those Personages and others from Scotland , who came from Court highly satisfied with admiration of his Majesties wisdom , justice , and affection to his people . And if you hear any speak otherwise , know them for such as w●sh it so , because 't is false : They take liberty to ●all● but those that scribble or print it , ere long may repent . His Majesty hath given leave unto Henry Williams , alias Cromwell , of Ramsey in the County of Huntingdon Esq to leave out the alias Cromwell . It is therefore desired you would take notice , that this Mr. Henry Williams is Grandchild to Sir Oliver Williams , and son to Colonel Williams a Commander in his late Majesties Army , to whom only ( with his family ) this favor is granted : And ( to deal clearly ) in those black days of the Protectordom , this Gentleman was not only civil to all , but made it his endeavour to assist and relieve all honest and loyal persons . It is his due , and 't were base to deny it . From Hamborough , July 17. The Danish forces which at their last muster were found to be about 4000 lye as yet still in their old quarters , and it is not likely that any of them should be disbanded , since it is constantly reported , that more are to be entertained ; neither do the Imperial and Brandenburgs forces stir from their quarters , however the Governor of Gottorp hath given his Highness the Duke of Holstein hopes to surrender that place to him very suddenly . The Bishop of Munster hath sollicited for aide at the Emperors , and the Elector of Brandenbourgs Court against the City of Munster , but whether or no he is likely to obtain it , the next shall informe you . That City maketh all possible preparations for her defence , and relieth on the assistance of the States General of the united provinces , in case the controversie be not ended by an amicable composition . His Electoral Highness of Bavaria hath already disbanded half of his new raised forces , and the Elector of Mentz doth likewise begin to discharge some of his Soldiers ; it being believed , that the Dukes of Brunswick and Lun●nburg with the other Princes will suddenly follow the example of the former . His Imperial Majesty hath sent orders to those forces that lye quartered in Silesia , to remove thence , and to march into Hungaria ; it being supposed that those which now are in Holstein and Mecklenburgh are to take up their quarters in Silesia . The Turkes have not proceeded far in Transylvania , but yet seem to be willing to fall out with the Emperour , pretending they are only sent to assist the new Prince of that Country ; wherefore his Imperial Majesty hath likewise given a strict charge to his General de Souches , to attempt no hostility against the Turks , but to keep himself within the terms of defence . The defeat of the Muscovites is again confirmed by Letters from Prussi● ; and it is certified thence , that the Ratification of the Peace lately made with Sweden , is arrived there from Poland . From Sealand we have nothing worth the communication . Madrid , June 24 By a Courrier dispatched from Valladolid , we were informed yesterday morning , that his Catholique Majesty is as yet in perfect health , and will be here on Saturday next . We hear from Barcelone that the Prince Ludovisio arrived there the 20 of this moneth , to take possession of his Viceroyship of Arragon . News being brought that his Highness Don John de Austria was somwhat indisposed , the Queen hath sent the Duke of Montalto to Aranguez to visit him , and the principal Physitians of this City are likewise gone thither by order from her Majesty , to take care of his health . They write from Portugal , that the Portuguez with five hundred Horse , and two thousand Foot , together with two Field pieces , had attaqued Alcaginis , but the Garrison ( seconded by the Inhabitants ) had so well received them , that they were forced to retreat with great loss and confusion , and in their retreat , they rencountred the Governour of Cridad Rodrigo , who coming to relieve the place , charged the enemy with such a fury , that he put them quite to the rout , leaving two hundred dead upon the place , and above one hundred prisoners . In the mean time preparations are made to invade Portugal with three Armies , consisting of about forty thousand Horse and Foot . Venice , July 6. Prince Almeric of M●dena is here as yet , but prepareth to be going to the Levant , to command the French succour , which having taken some refreshment in Sicily , was arrived at Candia , and was thence gone by the way of Cerigo to joyn with our Naval Forces , and to keep a Council of War . We understand from Dalmatia , that the Turks continue to make havock there , which hath obliged our Senate to take a resolution of sending the Troops of Savoy that way , which are a coming to assist this Commonwealth . Dantzick , Iuly 9. The Duke of Courland arrived at Riga the twentieth of the last past , where he was honourably received , in order to his being restored to his Dukedom . The Treaty of peace concluded at Oliva between the Pole and Swede , is unanimously ratified by all the Senators of Poland at Warsovia , who rendred solemn thanks to the King , Queen , and Monsieur de l' Ombres , Ambassadour of France , for their care and pains taken in this particular . This Crown is resolved with all possible force , to continue the War against the Muscovites , and the Polish Commissioners sent to the Frontires of Muscovia to treat with them , are returned without effecting ought . The King is to go in person into the Field , with all his Nobles , and all the Forces of Poland and Lithuania are commanded to march . P. S. Just now news is brought that G●neral Czarnecki with the assistance of the ●artars , hath totally beaten and ruined the Muscovian A●my near Grodno , consisting of fifteen thousand men , whereof seven thousand were killed upon the place : And that the Tartars and Cossacks had invaded Muscovia , the Poles having in the mean time by a Stratagem surprized Bichow , a place of great importance . Paris , Iuly 17. The Prince of Conde and the Duke of Longueville 〈◊〉 turned hither from Court the 13. instant , which Court came the same day to Fontainbleau , as one of the fairest places to be chosen near this City for divertisement of so charming a Queen , who now is expected here with much longing , and will be received with all possible magnificence , for which daylie preparations are made . Letters from St. Sebastian certifie , that three Adventurers of Os●end had engaged with , and taken a Vessel , the Admiral of the Turks , mounted with forty six pieces of Canon , and having three hundred and fifty Turks on board , which Vessel they have brought up to a safe place . The Baron of Bareville hath received his Instructions from the King of Spain , to go Ambassadour Extraordinary for England . Paris , 24 Iuly , Their Majesties having on the 19. current , left Fountainblew , came to dinner at Vaux to the house of the Overseer of the Finance ; and thence to Soysi , the President Baillent his house , where the King and Queen stayed till next day , and then returned to Vincennes . The Queen Mother accompanied by Monsieur and the Princess Palatine , came the same day , viz. the 19. instant , to this City , where her Majesty alighting out of her Coach , was received by the Prince of Conde , the Duke of Longueville , and all the Lords and Ladies that are here . The day following , her Majesty went to Val de Grace , the 21. to Vincennes , in companie of the Queen of England , and the Princess her daughter , which she took up at the Palace Cardinal ; on the 22. being the feast of St. Magdalen , she payed her Devotions in the Church of the great Convent of Grey-Friers , which she continued at Val de Grace , and at the Carmelites ; she came afterwards to the Palace of Orleans to visit Madam , where she was met on the Stone-walk , and received by Mademoiselle of Orleans , and her Sisters , Monsieur gave her likewise a visit at his return from Vincennes , where the King and the Queen take such pleasures and divertisements , as so sweet a place affords , which they are not to leave until all things be finished , which are a preparing here for the reception of so great a Princess . On the same day , his Eminency finding himself somewhat better of his late indisposition at Fontainblew and Vincennes , came likewise from this last place to this City , at his own Palace , there to rest himself a little of his long and painful travels .

We have already given you an account how highly the Nation of Scotland is satisfied ; We shall now present you with the state of Affairs in Ireland , wherein it will be very considerable to look into the affections of the Arm , which we shal offer you in their own words , as they were presented in an Address to his Majesty , by the Right Honourable the Lord Broghil , viz. To the Kings most Excellent Majesty . The humble Address of the Officers of your Majesties Army in and near Dublin in Ireland . NOthing can in degrees so fully proportion our sorrow for the murther of your Royal Father , as our joy for your Restauration ; 'T is your Majesties Glory , and our satisfaction , that God hath effected it without blood ; the world sees 't is the day of his power , the people are so willing in it , none as men but must say 't is wonderful in our eyes , and none as Christians but will say it is the Lords doings . Y●ur Majesties Gracious Declaration and Letters to the Parliament , have not onely prevented , but granted our chiefest desires , and we owe you our most sincere and humble acknowledgment , as much for the manner of giving as for the gift , in this we are safe , in that we are happy . Your Majesty desires nothing more then to act your clemency , and we desire nothing more then not to appear unworthy of it . God hath prese●ved you a broad in your person , and which we know is dearer to you , in your Religion , signal evidences whereof we have already received , for no other Tree could produce such fruit . All your subjects virtually are in Parliament ▪ and by Parliament you do graciously promise to be advised , your Majesty could not grant more , nor your People ask more . And to manifest you will Rule by Example as well as Precept , you decline being your own Judge in your deepest concernments : Your Royal Fathers Murtherers could not desire a greater favour , nor your Parliament a greater trust ; neither could your Majesty more sensibly and graciously let the body of your people know , you esteemed them innocent of that sin then by leaving it to them to punish . You do not onely observe your Laws your self , but you freely pardon all your subjects that have broken them ; To be just is what all Kings ought to be , but to be merciful is what our King is ; the best of our former Princes appeared worthy of the Crown , but after they wore it , your Majesty has done so before , the providence of God having taught you to raign over your self , before you raigned over your Kingdoms , out of which you were put by violence , but you are restored by consent , by which through mercy we now live to see more then hopes of that which we have so long thirsted after , an happy and full agreement between King and people , towards the ataining whereof , we can truly say , neither our prayers , nor our indeavours in our respective stations have been wanting , nor through the goodness of God shall they cease , till what is so happily begun be compleated . Your Majesty should have earlier received this Tribute of our Loyalty and affection , but that we stayed till this time to assure you which now we presume to do , that generally the Officers and Souldiers in this your Army , have not onely joyfully proclaimed your Majesties Royal undoubted right to your three Kingdoms , but with their hands have subscribed the same ; and we are confident , if your service require it , would do the like with their bloods against all opposers . We have nothing can Apologize for the confidence of this duty , but that out of the abundance of the heart , the mouth will speak , which in all humility we hope will obtain both your Majesties belief , and your pardon for Your Majesties most humble and most faithful Subjects and Servants . Signed by the Lord Broghil , Sir Charles C●ot , and all the Officers in and near Dublin . Thus you see how the Souldiery are inclined to His Majesties service . Not is there any doubt to be made of the general consent of the whole Kingdom of Ireland , who have expressed so much loyalty to His Majesty , and towards whom His Majesty hath shown so much care and tenderness , in declaring the Right honble L. Roberts to be His Deputy there ; which the Commissioners of that Nation look upon no●●n●y as the highest point of prudence in His Majesty , but as an especial Act of Grace and Favour to that Kingdom , he being a person so fitly qualified both for his Wisdom and Integrity for the management of so grand an Affair .
