After long sollicitation, its said the Duke of

and shipping which were promised his Majesty
by the King of Portugalt, are now arrived at
Nanles; And that the said Kings, in assurance of
his good Will and Amity toward France, intends
to make offer of his Daughter in Marriage unto
his Majesty, with a great sum of money.
The news of the English Sea-Victory, hath
made Charls Stuart and his whole company very
blank at the Palace Royall; and so much the
more, because the new is, that the Dutch are
sending Four Ambassadors into England. His
brother York not having received his moneys,
delays yet his going to the Campania. Prince
Rupert hath not yet made sale of all his Prizes.
