YEsterday the Baron of Pelnitz , the Master of the Horse , Chamberlain and Colonel of the Regiment of the Guards of his Electoral Highness of Brandenbourgh , and his Extraordinary Envoy to his Majesty , had Audience at VVhitehal . The Master of the Ceremonies went to fetch him from his House , with two rich Coaches , each with six Horses , and so conducted him to VVhitehal ; being brought up stairs , the Vice Chamberlain conducted him through a gallery full on both sides of Gentlemen , unto the Presence Chamber door , where the Earl of Manchester , Lord Chamberlain , conducted him to his Majesty , who staid expecting him there . His Majesty was bare during the whole audience : his Speech was pretty long , containing a congratulation upon the happy restauration of his Majesty , and the expression of his 〈…〉 Highnesses joy for the same . His Majesty returned a very obliging answer , suitable to the affection that ●lector hath shewed unto him in former times , being the first forreign Minister with Credentials to his Majesty that made a publick address . The Audience being ended , the Lord Chamberlain conducted him back through the said Gallery to the stairs head , the Vice Chamberlain to the Coach , and the Master of the Ceremonies , with another Gentleman , and the two Coaches brought him home again , an honor we have not heard of conferred before on any forreign Envoy , by a King of England , and now done to shew the high sentiments his Majesty hath of the Electors former kindness to him . Monday , June 18. 1660. A Letter from Lievtenant Col. Yardly , to M. Thomas Asht●n , Chaplain to the English in Jersey , was communicated to his Excellency General Monck , containing the sole unity of his Majesties Proclamation there , by his order a sta●ely Sc●ffold was erected in the market place of S. Hillaries Town , where were present all the English Officers and Souldiers , and the Hon●rable Sir Philip Cartaret , and the chief of the Gentry , the Proclamation was in English and French , after each followed volleys of shot , and loud acclamations of God save King CHARLES the Second ; at night the ayr was lighted with bonfires , and the Island thundred with the great Guns , at least a hundred shots were made from them in that small place , consisting but of twelve Parishes , the like rejoycing was never known there in any ones memory now living ; 't is disputable whether the English or the Islanders were more cordial , or saw more signs of thankfulness , but 't is out of controversie , that his Majesty hath not more loyal Subjects in his Dominions , their obedience being confirmed by the presence of his Majesty among them after his Fathers death of blessed memory , and his own miraculous deliverance at Worcester fight , which so encreased their courage , that Iersey was the last place lost from his Majesty , being kept by the faithful and couragious Sir George Cartaret , until his Majesty sent him an Express out of France to surrender it .

The names of these made Serjeant● are , Sir Tho. Widderington , Serj. Brown , Serj. Gly● , Serj. Earle , Serj. Bernars ▪ Serj. Hales . Serj. Twisden , Serj. Maynard , Serj. New●igate , Serj. Windham , Serj. Fountain , Serj. Syse , Serj Archer , Serj. Waller . Venice , May 2● . 1660. After so many several Reports of the Enterprise of Generalissimo Morosini , we hear by Letters from him to the Senate , that having retired his Forces from about Negroponte , the Fort whereof would have kept too long his Army , he hath upon a sudden fallen upon the Isle of S●atto , not ab●ve 20 miles distance from the other , and before the Enemies could recover themselves , did so vigorously assault the Castle , that notwithstanding the resi●tance of those within , he took it two days after , wherein he found 70 Pieces of Ordnance , with Prov●sions for a moneth for his whole Army . Thus his design was to demolish it , that he might hereafter so much the more easily get the Contributions of that Isle . We hear from Constantinople that the Grand Signior is yet at Andrinople , where he doth remain by the advice of the Divan , to hasten the march of the Forces designed against Prince Ragotski . That the first Vizier is returned thither from Belgrade , hoping the change of air will much contribute to the recovering of his health ▪ and that the Grand Signor never missed a day without giving him a visit , and asking his advice upon his affairs . In the mean while , having need of all his Forces , upon an enquiry into the state of his Militia in pay , he hath found 120000 F●ot and 40000 Horse , besides his ordinary Guards , which are above 10000 men , with 50 Gallies , 12 Mahones , 30 great ships and many small ones . The Letters say further that the said Grand Signor seemed to be very much troubled for the Peace between France and Spain , not doubting but that his Empire , which useth to take advantage of the division among the Christian Princes , will suffer by their re-union . And indeed , besides the 4 Gallies of the Pope , the 7 of Maltha , and the 3 of the Great Duke of Tuscany , which have been seen about Corfeu and Zante , going to joyn with our Fleet , we hear that the French ships , carrying Forces thither , were not very far . We hear by a Ship come from the said Isle of Zante , that three French private Men of War , under the Commissions of Maltha , having lately faln in the Seas of Rhodes , upon a Sultana going from Alexandria towards Constantinople , as a Convoy to some Saicks , took the third Sultana , and two of the Saicks , having killed two hundred Turks , who defended themselves very resolutely for five houres together . That Prize , valued above 400000 Crowns , hath been carried to Maltha . St. John de Luz , 14 June , 1660. Besides the particulars mentioned in my last , concerning the last Ceremonies of the Kings Marriage , I have these following to adde , that you might have a perfect account of that extraordinary occasion . The Church of this place having been prepared before with all possible pomp for such an august solemnity , all the Court repaired thither about Noon , by a Bridge made purposely from the Queen Mothers lodgings to the said Church , whereof both sides were guarded by a double File of the French and Switzers Guards . The Kings Musquetiers on Horseback , were in the middle of the place before the Kings House , all in new and rich Cassecks . The Company of the Archers of the Grand Provost of the King's Houshold went before , then that of the 100 Switzers , the Kings Footmen , the Pages of the great and small Stables in great number ; those of his Majesties Bed-chamber , all in new and magnificent Liveries , and several Grandees in black Clothes , with Cloaks lined with Golden Stuffs , and laces black mingled with imbroidery of Gold . Then came alone Cardinal Mazarine , 12 Gentlemen of the Ordnance , round about him . After him came the King richly apparelled , and marching in great Majesty between the Marquis of Peguillen and the Marquis of Humieres , and two Gentlemen of his Chamber on each side . The Marquis de Charost , Captain of the Guards followed him , with two of the said Guards . Then came the Queen with her retinue , after the manner expressed in my last . The Queen Mother came after , very joyfull of the occasion of the ceremony of that day , to which she contributed most of all . She was led by her Knight of Honour , and one of her Gentlem●n Ushers , the Countess of Flex her Lady of Honour carrying her Train . Madamoiselle followed , having her Train carried by M. de Mancini . The Ladies and Maids of the two Queens closed the march , being followed by the Queen Mothers Guards : Abundance of Trumpets were blowing all the while . The Ceremonies of the Church you had in my former Letters , as also the particulars of that days Ceremonies at home . The next day , their Majesties went to the Recollects Church to their Devotions , and about night went to take the air by the sea-side . The same day , the Cardinal Mazarine had another conference in the Isle with Don Louis de Aro , about the remaining differences of some of the Allies . The 12. the Popes Nuntio , the Ambassadors of Venice , the Resident of Genoa , the Envoy of their Royal Highnesses of S●voy , and the Deputies of the Parliament and Chamber of Accounts of Pau● , being conducted by Mr. de Chabenas-Bonnevil , had Audience of their Majesties . Mr. Akakia hath brought hither the Treaty of Peace between Swedeland and Poland , to be ratified by the King , as Mediatour between those two Crowns . To morrow their Majesties are to depart from hence for Bayonne ; from whence the next day to Aix , and from thence through the little Lands to Bourdeaux . Marseille the 15 of June 1660. The 9 instant two Gallies coming from Italy came to our Iles , carrying into Spain the Prince Ludovisio . They went from thence the 13 following ; and the same day the Duke of Mercoeur came hither from Aix to hasten the work of our Cittadel , having sent hither before above 300 new workmen . Amsterdam the 17 of June 1660. The 14 instant the Princess Royal , and the Prince of Orange her son came hither , and were received by our Inhabitants ; of whom 3 Companies under their arms and richly apparelled , the foot of our ordinary Guard , and all our Young men were gone out to meet them , and brought them in with a great Co●tage of Coaches , and 18 Chariots of Triumph prepared for their reception . All our great Guns were shot off , and answered by the Artillery of above 150 ships in our Port : since that time there hath been nothing here but Feastings and rejoycings , either publick or private , whereof the most considerable Inhabitants of the Neighbouring towns , who came hither purposely , have been partakers . The Peace between Sueden and Denmark is confirmed ; all Europe seeming now to have shaken off the War to imbrace the Peace this Province following their example hath already consented to an accomodation with Portugal . Paris the 26 of June 1660. Yesterday the Te Deum was sung here in the Church of our Lady for the happy accomplishment of the Kings Marriage . The Chancellor with the whole Council of the King , the Parliament , the Chamber of Accounts and the Court of Aids having been summoned to be there by the Kings order , delivered them by M. du Pin , Aide of the Ceremonies , were present thereunto , with the body of the Officers of this City , and an infinite number of persons of Quality . At night the Bonfires were made every where in our streets , and all our windoes were full of lights , and our Cannon spoke our joy by break of day . We hear that the Court arrived at Bayonne the 15 instant , and was to go the next day for Bourdeaux . The 22 the Prince arrived here from Bourdeaux , where he hath left the Court . He hath been but three dayes upon the way . Stockholm the 26 of May 1660. Nothing is ye● concluded in the Treaty with the Grand Duke of Muscovy : the chief of our Embassy to him , the Lord Beng Horn is returned hither some five dayes since to take new Orders of the young King ; and we hear that likewise the Russian Commissioners are gone to their Master upon the same account : but we hear the said Grand Duke will not hearken to restore such places as he hath lately taken in Liffeland , although he hath heard of the conclusion of the Treaty between this ●rown and Poland . On our side we are resolved never to yield unto that , nor relinquish our right to those places . The Embassador of the said Duke that was here , hath been dismist presently upon the advice hereof , he being thought to be only here as an honourable Spy. 30 Ba●ks are here ready to transport our Army to Nerve upon the Borders of Mosco●y , to be ready in case of a breach , which is thought to be like to insue upon this between this Crown and that Duke .

In consequence of the peace between the two Northern Kings , the prisoners of War at Gluckstrade have been released by order of the King of Denmark ; and among other the Prince of Anhalt , and the Lieutenant General Horne , who are since arrived here . By Letters from Coppenhagen of the 5 instant , we hear That the Suedes are gone from the Leagure before that City , from whence two ships had been sent to the I le of Falster to ship them away . The Lord Hannibal Seestede , and the Lord Slinglandt are sent into Suedland ; the first from the King of Denmark , and the second from the States General of the United Provinces ; not only to condole the death of the late King of Sueden , but also to congratulate the coming of the present King to the Crown . The Suedish Army lyes still in Zealand , expecting the orders from the Suedish Court for their next imployment . The allyed forces in Jutland and Holstein do still lye there , and nothing is yet given out of their marching away . The Peace hath been published in the Dukedome of Bremen . From Edenburgh , June 19. Out of the affection I have for you , I have with every conveniency acquainted you with what passeth here worthy of your knowledge or observation , and at this time especially , I have made bold to borrow a few minutes from the publick Solemnities , to give you that in brief which we are celebrating with that splendor and affection and unfeign●d tokens of joy , that the like hath not been seen before in this Nation ; for great and wonderfull is the Lords work of deliverance in that day when we expected to be overturned with confusion , and covered with desolation . The Magistrates of this City and our Presbytery , being most sensible of the great mercy received , did appoint this the day of their publick Thanksgiving to God for his signal love and kindness shewed to them , in investing our most gracious Soveraign with his Thrones of England and Ireland , and for restoring him to his Government over this his ancient Nation , that for twenty hundred years hath flourished under the Scepter of his Royal Ancestors . And have given notice of this their resolution to all the Burghs and P●e●byte●ies of Scotland , desiring their concurrence , that as their Cause is , so their joy may be universal : Our Ministers in their Sermons with so much fervency and passionate expressions delivered what great kindness the Lord had for us , in restoring to us our good King , that it hath not been observed that at any time their E●●●●tations have b●en entertained with such attention , and so plentifull tears , by their Audito●y . The English Officers of State and Warre observed the Thanksgiving with no less joy and devotion after Sermon , and after we had all dined together , we all marched from the Council-house to the Cross , in this order , The Town Council in their Gowns , with their trumpets sounding before them , went first , then two Bailies before the English Commissioners and Officers , and two behind them went next ▪ The Provost all alone before the Scots Nobility and Gentry that are in Town , and two Bailies with the Dean of Gild and Thesaurer followed after . Their Guards , neer six hundred Citizens in comely apparel , armed with Swords and Partisans , the Cross was covered with Artificial Vines loaden with Grapes , both good Cla●et wines plentifully springing out from all its Channels . On its heads a Baccus bestradling a Hogshead with two or three Satyrs , did with their mimick g●stures and jests entertain the beholders . A little below the Cross , within a Rail was errected a Scaffold six foot high , on which was placed a large Table covered with a rich Banquet served up in glass , and representing divers forms and devices as his Majesties Arms , the Arms of the City ; and divers Exotick Trees vvere raised , loaden with their Leaves and Fruits , &c. The Table being surrounded with above one hundred persons of Eminency . The Musick and breaking of Glasses vvere seconded by three general Vollies of the Horse and Foot , vvho received as handsome ansvver from the great Guns of the Castle , Ci●adel and ships in the Road ; and all were ec●hoed by joyful Acclamations of the people . After this the forces drew off , affording the civilities of view to the people , amongst whom the dishes and banquet were hurled , and so arose and marched down to the Piazzo of the Palace of Holyrod house , fi●st the Commissioners , nex● the Mayor General with his Army , and after them the City Magistrates with their guards ; whence after the Masket had saluted them there with divers vollios , and had ●●ceived a retu●n from the great guns of the Castle citadal and sea , as formerly they marched back again quite thorough the City up to the Cast●e-hill , from w●e●●e every one part returned to spend the rest of the evening with their friends in mirth and mutual joy and entertainments . But now begin in the Bells and the Fire-works , therefore I must be gone to assist in the dances of our Magistrates and Ci●izen abou● the Bonefires , and on my knees to remember the health of my Soveraign and his loyal kindred , and the prosperity of his Excellency and all those Heroes and No●●les who have been instrum●ntal , or do rejoyce with us in this our great deliverance and happiness . D●e Sabbati , Junii 23. 1660. ORdered by the Lords in Parliament Assembled , That all the Tyths , Gleb●s , and other Profits of , or belonging to the Rectory of A. B. in the County of D.

B. and the present Possessor thereof shall be determined by the further Order of Parliament , or Eviction by due course of Law . Jo. Brown Clerie : Parliamentorum Whitehal Whitehall . His Sacred Majesty , but of a sence of the high deserts of Col. John Covert u● Glaug●am , in the county of Suffex , ( who formerly served in the Army of his ●●●e Majesty of ever blessed memory with much courage and fidelity , and 〈◊〉 since that , notwithstanding the cruelty of his enemies , and their persecuting of him for continuing his allegiance to his present Majesty , still remained unshaken in his resolutions to perform his duty , for which he was by Oliver Cromwell imprisoned in the Tower ) was graciously pleased first to Knight him , and then give him a Patent for Baroner . His Majesty conferred the honour of Knighthood on William Poult●ty , a person that ever had a great civility for all that were for the Royal cause , and a loyal heart for his Majesties service . Col. Roger Mostyn is made Gentleman of the privy chamber to his Majesty to enjoy all priviledges , &c. On Munday , the right honourable the Earl of Shrewsbury presented to his Majesty an Address of the Nobility and Gentry of the County of Worcester enti●u●ed . To the Kings most Excellent Majesty , The humble Address of the Nobility and Gentry in the County of Worcester . The Address was subscribed , Tho. Windsor , Tho. Coventry , Will . Russell , and above fifty others . His Majesty returned them his hearty thanks , telling them , He was well assured of their Loyalty and affection , and should ever have a good esteem of them . One Payne , formerly a Messenger of Oliver Cromwell , is secured ; there being information against him , That he was the Executioner of that Execrable m●●der of his late Majesty . On Monday Serjeant Atkins , a person of knowen integritie and great learning in the Law , sate Baron of the Exchequer . It being prohibited by the House of Commons , upon the miscarriage and abuses of some idle Pamphletters , That any of the Votes of that House should be printed without special Order , the Reader is desired to excuse us , if in obedien●e to them we cannot yet give him so full satisfaction . Books from the Office of Intelligence having formerly given you an account that Mr. Scot , one of the late pretended High Count of Justice for trial of his late Majesty was brought to Westminster ; I must confess , though enquired of by many , I could not give satisfaction therein , being tender to gainsay any thing I did not well know , especially in a matter concerning Mr. Scot , with whom that Pamphl●●ter formerly kept such constant intelligence ; till meeting with a near relation of his , I was informed that he was at Brussels , where he had tended himself to Sir Henry de V●● , till his Majesties pleasure should be further known concerning him ; laying himself now at last at the feet of his Majesties mercy as his onely security . From Ireland we are certified , that there are yet some unquiet spirits amongst them , which do endeavour to bring that Nation again into confusion , as may appear by a Letter lately taken , of dangerous consequence ; the intent of it is to stir●● to a new War . But being by providence so early found out , their Plot is doubtless quite spoiled . For such is the prodence and valour of the persons intrusted with the management of affairs in that Nation , that we need not fear , had they headed , much less now the Design●s discovered .
