believe more would desert them, and look to
the securing of their private Fortunes, because
many have bin drawn to engage, meerly by
Brags and reports of great assistance from abroad,
especially out of the United Provinces.
We hear not yet of Col. Morgans remove from
Dingwell, nor of any Attempts made thereabout
by the Enemy.
From Upsall, March 31. S: V.
My Lord Ambassador presses very earnestly
to have conclusion of his long attendance, and
he had Audience both, to day and yesterday. The
Queen seems now to be in good earnest to lay
down her Crown. She did discharge last week
most of all her Servants and Retinue, and hath
reserved to her self a very thinn Court. I must
profess I understand. not the mystery of it; She
professes her desires of Solitude and retirement;
and some others say, The Debts grew so high,
that, she was, as it were, forced hereunto. But
whether any other secret thing is couched under
it, Time will discover. Don Piemontelli, the
Spanish Resident had audience on Wednesday
last, and took his leave of her Majesty. He intends
to take his Journey homewards within a
few dayes, by the way of Denmark. I believe he
doth not well relish our likelyhood of Peace
with Holland. He hath carryed it very fair to my
Lord Ambassador. But we think we espy some
little alteration in him, since the news of the
Treaty being almost finished hath arrived here:
Spain would have gladly kept us still at odds.
