The same Sunday about night Mr. de Carnavalet Leivtenant to the Guards
du Corps went to bid the Abbot de la Riviere to withdraw to his house of
Petit bourg within six Leagues of this place, where the said Abbot is
now. About six dayes before the Duke of Orleans had spoken nothing
to him in the ordinary confidence, and had not even imparted unto him
the resolution to arrest the said Princes, some having advised him that if
he should doe it, he would set all France a fire, It is a Councell of the
Duchesse de Chareuse, who is now a dayes the grand Fac totum to the
Queene, and to the said Cardinall. I here that the Councellor Mr.

worke enough at home, and will not leave them power either to execute, or
give any great jealousies abroad. Mr. de Chamboy, whom the
Duke de Longueville had setled Governour in the Pont de l' Arche yeelds
the place, provided restitution be made to him of 50000 Livers ha hath
paid for is, to the said Duke.
The Dutchesse of Longveville hath beene admitted into the Castle of
Diepe, as Dutchesse and not as Governesse of the Province of Normandy.
The Duke of Richelieu hath written from Newhaven to their Majesties.
He hath too great an estate to lose in France, to undertake any
thing that displeaseth them.
Thee Duke of Bovillon, and Marshall de Thurenne are promised all satisfaction
if they will returne, their Majesties having let them understand
by the Dutchesse of Bovillon that remained here, that the Prince of Conde
