give alterations in divers parts; neverthelesse the
Swedish Commissaries are to depart for the Treaty
at Lubeck within 8, or 10 days. The resolution
continues, that within a few moneths there
shall goe an Extraordinary Ambassador for England.
From Poland they write by the last post; Things
look with a better face now then they did, the
Cosacks have sent to the King to begg pardon for
what is past; and, as they report, the old Chimilnisky
Generall of the Cossacks, offered his owne
Son as an Hostage for their future fidelity. So
that that storm seemed to be past in these parts.
From Paris, September 21. stilo novo.
Yesterday we had news of Gen: Blakes taking our ships that were designed
for the relief of Dunkirk, and of the surrender of the place to the
Spaniards; which was not at all resented by the Princes and their party.
The Princes here entertain so great a jealousie of the Court, that it is
conceived they will never bow to an accommodation upon less Terms
then the secluding of the Queen her self, and all of Mazarins party from
the Kings councel; so that there is small likelihood of peace. The D. of
Orleans hath by a Trumpet prohibited the Inhabitants of Melun from
affording any supplies of victual, or otherwise to the K. Army under Turein,
upon pain of putting all to fire and sword They make answer, that
they will stand Newtrall. Duke Lorain now begins. to doe somewhat,
having given the Court an Alarm at the very guards of Compeigne, where
he took some Officers of the Regiment of the guards. The Duke of
Beaufort and Mr de la Bouleie have with 1000 horse opened a passage
for cattell, and other Provisions to this city.
Madamoisolled' Orleans went lately with the Duke of Lorain [unr]
the Army, where they drew up before her is Battalia. During her sery
there, Turein agreed to a cessation of Arms; and came out of Trenches
to salute her, but avoided discourse with her, for fear of occasioning
sealousie at court.
