From Upsal in sweden, April 7.
I may tell you, that our business here is almost
at an end: And I hope, it will not be long ere
we set forwards towards our defired Countrey.
The Queen hath now manifested, that
she hath been [unr]re all in all her demonstration of
respect to my Lord Ambassador; And though
for some reasons of state, we could not hitherto
prevail to get a particular Answer, onely
Promises, yet she hath now been as good
as her word, and hath given my Lord a grand
Dispatch before her retirement. The Queen
Commissionated the Grand Chancellor, and his
second Son, Count Erich, to Treat with my
Lord, and to conclude. And after some expedients
found out on both sides, they are come
to their journeys end: and after the Articles
are ingresses, they will be signed: So that
now we shall have nothing to do, but to wait
for an order to recall us home.
The Queen is positive in her Resolves of
quitting the Government: Her Succeeder the
Prince Royal, is a person of large Wisdom,
Martial Courage, and a sweet natural disposition.
And it is believed withal, that
this Nation will be happy under his Government.
We now dream of nothing but returning
to you.
