From Stockholm, August 23: stilo novo.
We have news here of a bloudy fight at sea upon the Coast of
Holland, between them and the English, having, as is said, continued
for the space of 24 hours; but the particulars hereof, and who
hath got the better, we know not, expeding to have notice thereof
by the next. Most of our State Affairs are in former condition,
only the Queens Majesty doth daily, with the Lords of secret
Councel, meet about some serious but private Business; but the
Lord Ryx-Chancellor being for the present in the Country, visiting
his Land Goods, it is thought that no business of importancy will
be concluded before his return; which, if God please, will be
within 14 days lience. The Queens Majesty is to pass hence within
four days, to the burial of Duke Adolph's Princess at Wadstena,
some 50. Dutch miles from this City. One of her Majesties ships
which was ordered to transport the Spanish Ambassador for his own
Country, passing by Copenhagen caused a great fear among the sea
Captains of the King of Denmark, who fully perswaded themselves
that our whole Fleet of War had been following after; but finding
ding the contlary, and the Swedish Captain coming on shore at Copenhagen,
he was very civilly entertained with all kind of Danish
courtesies.
From Regensburg the 28 dito, S.N.
From hence little news for the present; his Emperial Majesty is
as yet present at Munchen, intending not to return till the eight of
September next. In the mean time, and in lus, Majesties absence,
nothing of the important Ryx Businesses are taken in hand; and being
his Majesty is to continue here but ten days after his return, it
will be needful to defer all unto such a day of deputation as he
shall be pleased to appoint. The States of the Empire have not
yet sent in their resolution, concerning the agreement made between
the Emperour and the Duke of Lorain, but is daily expected
by his Majesty.
From Colen: the 2 of September. N.S.
Our Archbishop is now present with the Assembly at Bon, upon
the appointed Land-day; we are very desirous to know what the
issue thereof will be, which a short time will discover. The Earl
of Ledron continues here still, but proceeds very slowly in the raising
of his three Regiments for want of pecuniary supplies.
From Hamburgh the 30. dito.
Three or four dayes agoe, some 7 or 8 English Cloth ships very
richly laden, with a Convoy of Four men of Warr arrived in
this River, after they, had sustained great storms and bad weather at
Sea, insomuch that some of their Company came in two dayes after
the rest, which were supposed to have been lost; At their coming
up; a Dutch Caper with 24 Guns, lying before Gluckestadt, and some
other small Dutch Pyrates, were weighing their Anchor, and making
ready to run into Gluckstadt; but when they saw that the
