to revive again by his Revolt from the king, with the City
of Angiers, and the whole Province of of Aniou, which was
under his government.
The Cardinall is for certain arived at Court. His long stay
by the way was occasioned by an Infermity that seized on
him, for cure whereof the Queen sent him one of the Kings
Physitians: Upon his Arival, the King and his Councell damned
all the Arrests and other proceedings that had passd in
the Parliament of Paris against him.
The Scotish King continues at the Lonvre, very melancholy
by reason that the frequent Visits that used to pass betwixt
him and Madamoiselle, are now discontinued; for the little
Queen driving it on towards a match with her son, the busines
is disrelished by the Ladies Father, Duke de: Orleans,
who hath forbid his daughter the continuance of such Visits,
having thoughts to bestow her upon the young Duke
of Savoy. The young Scot is forced to keep a Scotch Table
and Retinue about him, and lead a very thrifty life, beeing
too often visited by the Remnants of his decayed Cavalry, as
Vandrusee the German who formerly served in England;
also, that vilanous Scot, Whitford, who was a chief Actor
in the murther of Dr. Dorisla; besides many others, whom
hee is not able to releeve, but glad to put them off with letters
of recommendation to Princes abroad; as Denmark
Poland, &c. It is thought he depends much still, upon the
duke of Lorain, for the busines of Ireland.
From Dalkieth in Scotland, January 24.
The inclosed will inform yon what course is intended to
be taken for publishing the Parliaments Declaration and
working the people to a free assent thereto. If this goe on,
successfully, the superstructure will be the fairer and easier,
though no doubt nothing of this kind can be depended upon
any longer then a sure hold is kept upon them. The day
of appearance for those of the next Shires, is to be Feb. 9.
and for the farthest off, Feb. 26. And so respectively for
those nigher or farther off.
Great applications are daily made by the Grandees, but
none as yet admitted.
