Mercurius Publicus : COMPRISING The Sum of Forraign Intelligence ; WITH The Affairs now in Agitation in England , Scotland , and Ireland . For Information of the People . From Thursday June 28. to Thursday July 5. 1660. To the Kings Most Excellent MAJESTY . The humble Petition of the Nobility and Gentry of the Six Counties of North-wales . Sheweth , THat your Petitioners being fully assured of the dutiful affections of their Neighbours and Country-men of the British Nation in the Six Counties aforesaid , do in all humility and thankfulness to God and your Majesty , on behalf of our selves and them , acknowledge those happy fruits of your Majesties most Gracious Government whereof we have already tasted , in that security and freedome we enjoy in the liberty of our persons and property of our Estates . And though we cannot make the least doubt ( being convinced thereunto by your Majesties most pious and exemplary practice in matters of Religion ) but that your Majesties first and chief care is for the resettlement of the Church upon the Ancient Foundation of Truth and Peace ; yet seeing we have suffered so deeply in the contrary practice by some that of late have had he power over us , who under the pretence of propagating the Gospel , have for a long time shut up our Churches , converted the endowman●s of the Church to their own use , and sown the seeds of false Doctrine and Schism among us . Your Majesties Petitioners think themselves in duty bound , to represent in all humility this grievance to your Sacred Majesty , and as the best expedient for the re-obtaining their form●r happiness in order to their eternal Salvation ( without which nothing can be happy to them ) to beseech your Majesty , that out of your pious and Princely care , you would be pleased to cause all those good and wholesome Laws for uniformity in Religion , the Government of the Church , and the maintenance of the Clergy , to be put in execution , which have been made since the Reformation , whether by your Royal , Pre●ecessor , Queen Elizabeth , or your Grandfather , and Father of ever happy memory . And your Petitioners shall pray , &c. Subscribed by Herbert , H. Herbert , John Salisbury , Thomas Middleton , Thomas Humphreys , and several other Gentlemen of Quality . By Letters from Edinborough of the 21 , we have this further accompt of the solemnity , That the Major General , after his remembrance of h●● Majesty to the Earl of Scaford , fired the great Cannon called Mounce Megg ( a Cannon never fired but on extraordinary occasions ) after which followed all the Guns in Edinborough Castle , 〈◊〉 Cittadel , and the ships in the Road . A plentiful Largess was bestowed amongst the Souldiery to heighten them in their joye● ; about fifteen hundred bonfires were ma●e on Arthurs Seat , one or forty load of coals , and at the Major Generals door one almost as big . After this was variety of fire-works , some burned in the water , other fl●w in the ayr , two Castles firing one against the other , then several sorts of boxes thrown into the ayr , and falling in several shapes , which with divers others , gave great content to the spectators My Correspondent there did further inform me , that what he vvrit concerning Major Ahernthey , vvas too greedily taken up by him from ● brisk report that vvas raised by some ill people , and desires it may be amended in the next P●●nt , vvhich for his and the Readers satisfaction I have done accordingly . As for Major Aberlu , my friend of the Intelligence Office , hath not yet told me vvhere he lives , till which time I must desire that Gentlemans pardon . Whitehall .

London . The Artillery Company meeting on Tuesday the 26 of June , 1660. at a general Court then held in the Artillery garden did unanimously make choice of his Highness the Duke of York to be their Commander in chief , and made choice of twelve of the Court of A●sistants , to acquaint his Highness the ewith , and desire his acceptance . On Saturday the 30th of June , the Lord Lucas , Sir John Robinson , Lievtenant of the Tower , their Deputy President , with Col. Shepherd , and others of the Assistants accordingly , went to Whitehall , to attend his Highness , and being commanded by him to come into his Bed cha●●●● , the L. Lucas acquainted the Duke that these Gentlemen of the Artillery Company were come to tender their services unto his Highness , and to acquaint him what they had done in reference to his Election to be their Commander in chief ; then Col Shepherd was desired to declare the mind of the Company , which he did in these words following : May it please your Highness , WE are commanded by the Artillery Company to acquaint you , that at our General Court your Highness was with one heart and one hand freely chosen to be our Commander in chief ; but we durst not have so presumed , had we not known that your Highness was a Lover of Arms in general , and that in the year 1641. You manifested so much love to that Company in particular , that you honored us so far , as to enter your self to be a member of it ; and it being the ancient custome of our Company still to have liberty to make choice of one of the members of it to be our Commander , we do humbly pray your Highness will pardon our boldness , and be pleased to own us as your own Company , and to accept of our earnest request to be our Commander in chief , and we shall be ready to yeild obedience to your Highness Commands . And humbly pray for the encrease of your Highness prosperity and happiness . Upon which motion his Highness did very lovingly accept of it , and them , and promised they should still continue their ancient priviledges and customes , and he would be ready to do what he could for them : Then he asked what number they might be ; it was answered , about four hundred or five hundred , and that they hoped they should be above three hundred in Arms on Thursday next to attend him , and if they were commanded , should be ready to wait upon him that very day at Whitehall ; and when the Company was drawn up , they should deliver unto him their leading st●ff , according to custome : To which he replyed , He would accept of it , and returned them hearty thanks . On Friday the 29th , a Committee of Aldermen and Common-Council went to invite the Lords of his Majesties Privy-Council to dinner with them at Guild-hall , July 5. the day appointed by his Majesty , which they were pleased to accept of : They likewise made a particular invitation to the Lord Chancellor , and several other persons of Honor , which they were pleased to accept . His Sacred Majesty in consideration of the eminent services and constant loyalty of Sir John Robinson Knight and Baronet , Alderman of London , made him Lievtenant of the Tower , which on Friday he took possession of . To morrow Doctor Reynolds is to preach before his Majesty in his Chappel at Whitehall . Venice , June 5. 1660. We have received a confirmation of the taking of the Castle of Schiatto , by Gen. Morosini , who hath given leave to 300 Turks , that were there in Garrison , to go out with their Families , and gave to the Aga that commanded them , a Vessel to transport himself to the next Continent . After which exploit he went to the Isle of Cerigo with his Army . M. Marco B●mb● , General of Candia , hath sent word hither , that the Turks having drawn their Forces within a Pistol shot off the Out-works of the Metropolitan City of that Island , they found there such resistance , that they were forced to retire with great precipitation and loss of men : And that they were expecting with great impatience the supplies of the Christian Princes , to recruite their Souldiers , above 900 of theirs being lately dead of several diseases . St. John de Laz , Iune 21. 1660. The 12 instant , the Count of Fuenseldagne , Extraordinary Embassadour of Spain , having been met at Aurogna by the Marshal de Cl●remb●ut and M. de Chabenas , Bonnevil Introductor of the Embassadours , who went to fetch him with the Kings Coaches , followed by the Coaches of all the Lords of the Court , made his entrance into this Town with a magnificent Retinue , as you have heard already . He was conducted to the Lodgings prepared for him , and presently after v●sited by the Duke of Crequi , in the name of the King ; by M. de St. Ange for the Queen Mother , by the Marquis of H●utefort for the Queen , by the Count of Va●llac for Monsieur the Kings Brother , and by the Abbot of Par●bere for the Cardinal Mazarin . Then the Count of Armagnac , great master of the Horse , with the said M. de Bonnevil , went to fetch him with the Kings Coaches and brought him to his audience . That night the Cardinal M●zarin feasted him at Supper , and the King gave him the pleasure of a Spanish Comedy . The 13. the two Queens made their Devotions at the Church of the 〈◊〉 . The same day Cardinal Mazarin met again with Don Lewis d' Aro at the Isle of the Conference . The 14. then Majesties went to take the air upon the Seaside , and the 15 the whole Court went away from hence for Bayonne . Bayonne , Iune 22. 1660. The 15 instant , the Queen made her entrance here with all 〈…〉 . The King , Monsieur his Brother and the Queen Mother came first into this C●ty . The Princess arrived here in a very rich Coach , being accompanied by t●e Princess Palatin● , and the Dutchess of N●v●illes . There w●nt before her 〈◊〉 , all the other Coaches for her houshold , with six Trumpets of the Kings , four of the Chamber , and two others , at the head of the Gensd ' armes and the Light Horsemen . The Kings Life-guard was about her Coach , and the Queen Mothers Guards , and the Company of Musketeers on Horse back were at the Rear . When she came to a Triumphant Arch erected out of the Gates , with a rich Canopy of red Damask spread with Golden Flowers de Luce , she alighted , and ascended the Throne prepared there , where being under the Canopy , with the Crown on her Head , the Duke of Espernon , Governour of this Province , who was come hither purposely to receive her Majesty in this first City both of his Governmenment and of the Kingdom , presented to her the Officers of the Senechal and the Jurat● , who made their Speeches to her Majesty ; which done , he presented to her Majesty , in a Bison , the Keyes of the City . Then coming down from her Throne , she was conducted by four Consuls under another Canopy of Cloth of Gold and Silver to her Coach . She continued her Journey , two Ushers of the Chambers going before her with the Maces , the four Consuls carrying the Canopy , and all the Corporations of this City in their Formalities ; At the sounding of the Trumpets her Majesty came into the Town , through the streets hung with rich Hangings , and strewed wi●h Flowers , and went to the Cathedral Church , the Avenues whereof were lined by two Files of the Company of the 100 Switzers . Her Majesty went in under the Canopy , and was received by our Bishop and his Clergy with his usual Ceremonies , who conducted her to the great Altar , where the Te Deum was sung . From thence her Majesty went to the Kings Lodgings through some streets richly adorned , and lined with M●squ●●ce●es , Gen●d●rms , and Light-Horsemen . At night the Ceremony was ended by Bonfires lighted every where , with an infinite number of Lights at the Windows , continual shooting of the Canons , and the Inhabitants Muskets , by the reiterated acclamations of the people high and low , and by all other tokens of an extraordinary joy , befitting the first City of the Kingdom that had the honour to receive a Princess , to whom the Nation is engaged for its tranquillity . The next day their Majesties went to Mass to the same Church ; and having again received the Complements of our Consuls , they went that night to Aqs. The Count de Fuenseldagn hath bin feasted at B●dache by Marshal Duke de Grammont , with his ordinary sumptuousness and neatness ; which hath given great satisfaction to the said Ambassadour , who could not but admire the beauty and richness of that House , where nothing is wanting that can contribute to the ornament of a House of pleasure . Amsterdam , Iune 24. 1660. The 21 instant , the Royal Princess having been entertained with rich Presents by the Chamber of the East-India Company , went away from hence towards Harlem . The affairs of the Prince her Son go on very well in our Provinces , the States of Zealand having appointed Commissioners to draw a List of the charges and places formerly possessed by his Predecessors , and settle all things again as they were in 1651. Mont de Marsan , June 22. 1660. Their Majesties being come from Bayonne to Aqs , came on the 10 to B●zas , and the next day arrived here . This Town vvas prepared to receive them with a greater solemnity then vvas performed , because the King would not suffer it , having bin pleased to accept of our respects , expressed to their Majesties by the speeches of the Corporations of Justice , and of the Town , and of our affection test●fied unto them by the great and joyful acclamations of all ou● people . The 20. their Majesties went from hence for Burdeaux . Narbone 25 June 1660. The 21 instant about three a clock in the morning there was a great Earthquake here , which did much affright us . We hear that the like hapned at the same time at Bourdeaux , Montpellier , Beziers and other places . Mr. de Merenville hath given order for drawing , with all possible diligence out of Roses and Cap de Quiers , all the Artillery and Amunitions that were therein : The Spaniards being already arrived to the Port of the said Roses , with all things necessary to take possession of it . Naples , June ● . 1660. Mr. Elpidio Beneditti , Cardinal Mazarines Agent , is gone from hence to Rome , being very well satisfied with the Vice-Roy , who presented him six brave Horses . The occasion of his voyage was for the re-establishment of the Prince of Monaco into all the Lands belonging to him in this Kingdome , according to the Treaty of Peace . Besides the 2000. Italians , and 1000. Germans , lately sent from hence into Spain , with abundance of Ammunitions and Provisions : The Forces that are in the Milanez , being 5000. Foot , and 2000.

The Cardinal Maldachini , formerly fallen into the Popes disgrace , hath been recalled home by the mediation of Cardinal Antonio . But the Pope having chidden him very bitterly , when he went to kiss his Toe , and make his submissions unto him ; the Cardinal took it so much to heart , and was so highly displeased at it , that he hath since withdrawn himself again from Rome . Madrid , June 3. 1660. The Marquis of Manzera , ordinary Ambassadour of the Republick of Venice in this Court , hath been recalled , and is to discharge the same Fu●ction in the Court of France . The Spaniards are very much incensed at the late invasion made by the Portuguez upon the Spanish Dominions , 〈◊〉 it is reported , that for to be revenged of it , they are resolved to make incursions into Portugal , and to make there as great havock as they can , for which end , orders have been given to fall on that Kingdome on all sides . The Marquis of Vianes , Governour of Galicia , doth march that way with 8000 Foot , and 800 Horse ; and the Governour of Camara marcheth another way with his Forces . We hear that those of Lisbon are very much disgusted at the Queen of Portugal , and that the Council of the Chamber hath taken from her the management of the Affairs . Turin , June 19. 1660. The two Regiments of Foot that are sent to the supply of the Venetians , were shipped away eight dayes since , upon the Po , but the Horse are not gone yet .

Two French Pirates bearing the Flag of Savoy , have lately seized upon a Grecian Vessel coming from Algier to Marseille , which is intended here to be restored with all its lading . The King of France hath desired that his Subjects should pay no Toll at Villefranche , which not being granted , it hath caused some distaste ; and we hear , that what comes from Dauphi● into Savoy , is seized there . Riga in Lifland , 31 May 1660. The News being come hither how Vice Admiral Ruyter had seized on to Suedish ships about Copenhagen ; our Governour hath likewise made an Imbargo upon all the ships and goods belonging here to the Dutch , and doth threaten a Confiscation of them , unless the Peace be suddenly concluded . Dantzick 12 June 1660. All things are preparing for the Dyet which is to be held at Warsow , about the latter end of this month ; but it is reported that the Nobility will not come thither , till after the King of Poland hath given them satisfaction upon their demands . The Great Duke of Moscovy is so much alarm'd by the peace concluded between Sueden and Poland , that he hath sent an Embassadour to the King of Poland , to make some Propositions to him , much more advantageous then the former , with order to repair to Warsow afore the opening of the Dyet , where the States , after they have ended the business of the Ratification of peace , are particularly to take into consideration how to expel the Moscovites out of Lithuania , it being resolved to give the chief command of all the Forces to be imployed against them , unto General Czarnesky , and the Lieutenantship to the Waywode Sapiha . The Count Koningsmarck hath shipped away part of his Retinue for Lubeck , whither he is to go as soon as the news comes of the restauration of the Duke of Curland into his dominions . Wismar , 15 June 1660. Since the conclusion of the Peace between the Kings of Sueden and Denmark , we enjoy here a perfect tranquility , although the Imperial forces be not yet removed from Macklenburgh and Pomerania , their Officers keeping such an exact Discipline among them , that the Country is no way annoyed by them . A Suedish ship riding before Warnemunde to receive the Toll of all the ships coming into Rostock and going out from thence , was lately fired by a Thunderbolt that fell upon her : All the Souldiers that were aboard her were consumed by the fire . Collen 22 June 1660. The 12 instant the young Prince , of whom the Dutchess of Newburgh was brought to bed two days before , was Christened at Duss●ldorp with great Ceremonies . The differences betwixt the City of Munster and the Bishop are so far from an accommodation , that at present both the parties have no other thoughts but to put themselves in posture to right themselves by the way of Arms . That Prelate who hopeth to have assistance from several Princes of the Empire , being resolved not to abate any thing of his pretentions , and the City being resolved to venture all for the preservation of their Privile●ges .

From Innerness , June 16. I have as I acquainted you in my last , made inquiry into the business of Capt. Roll , which was contradicted in some late Pamphlets , but upon discourse with Sir James Smith and Mr. Calmady . I finde that the said Capt. Roll was seised for speaking words , and that Mr. Calmady giving too much credit to him that brought the note , did in haste sign it . Wednesday , Dr. Colladon , Deputy from the Common-wealth of Geneva , having presented unto His Majesty the Letters of the Lords Syndicks and Magistra●es , and of the Pastors and Professors of that place , congratulating His Majesties happy Return and Restauration to his Kingdomes ; And demanded in their Name of His Majesty , the continuation of His Royal Favour and good Affection towards them .

Whitehal . 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 Kingdome having for a long time , by reason of his Majesties absence , been troubled with the Evil , great numbers have lately flocked for Cure . His Sacred Majesty on Monday last touched 250 in the Banquetting House , amongst whom , when his Majesty was delivering the Gold , one shuffled himself in , out of an hope of profit , which had not been stroak'd ; but his Majesty presently discovered him , saying , This man hath not yet been touched .
