From Hamburgh, April 25.
The only news here is, that ray Lord Ambassador WhitlocK hath
finished his affair at Vpsal, and we expert his Lordship in this City
within 20 dayes. There is a firm Alliance and friendships made,
which is as much as either fide could expect or desire, as things
stand.
You Tantalise onr expectation about the sillier of the Dutch
Treaty, touching which our jealousie works stronger then our faith.
From Vpsal April 8.
The Duke of Muscovy wrote Letters of late to the Q of Sweden,
wherein he signified the cause of his Warr with the Pole. Two reasons
he mentioned; one because a certain Poland Poet writing a
Narration of former Warrs, wherein the Pole had the better, said,
they had beaten the Muscovite, without adding his Tide, plain Muscovite.
The other, because in quoting something touching the Genealogy
of the Muscovites Ancestors, he named one as father which was
the son; and for these two grand offences, he demanded of the Pole
the offenders head; which being denyed, he makes Warr upon them
and hath taken one City, and besieged one of the most considerable
in Poland. These were the contents of his Letters. In his long
title he hath of late called himself Dominus parentum & avorum suorum.
The Queen being forced to answer something, because he asked
her advice, returned, That she neither approved nor disapproved,
his reasons, hut thanking him for his civil Communication, wished
that he might receive good satisfaction from the Pole, being troubled
that Christian Princes should disagree.
From Edenburgh April 29.
There is little of News since the last. All are yet quiet
in these parts: Middleton and Colonell Morgan yet continue
in the same posture; only the Enemy are often quarrelling
among themselves: The last was between Glengary

Middleton parted them. The Generall intends next week
to March towards Sterling, and so for the Hills. The Lord
Craighall, one of the Judges at Edenburgh, died this day.
