Negotiation, and from hence would send an Expresse into Scotland.
Just now I am informed, that yesternight, the satisfaction of the
Switzers was resolved on here; that they shal have a Million of Livers
ready Money, and that the Generality of Tours is assigned them for
the payment of the overplus of their due, whereof they shall be payd
by their owne hands, Marshall de Schomberg doth treat of his place
of Colonell of the Switzers.
