From Franck ford, November 22.
The Danish Ambassador Rantzon came hither again yesterday.
It is thought that Bavaria may carry the Imperiall dignity.
It seem that France and the three spirituall Electorall Princes
incline thereunto, that Bavaria should be preferd to the House
of Austria. The Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg urge,
that an Emperor should be chosen; but the other Elector at Princes
wish rather that the Grievances of the forraign Potentates
may be first redrest. The Propositions with France made are theser
that the speedy satisfaction bee given for the breach of the
peace made at Munster. 2. That the Forces sent into Iralie bee
recalled some. 3. The Duke of Mantus be restored to his
Warship, and the Generalship over the Austrian Forces in Italy
and to bind him to restore Trin to the Duke of Savoy upon pain
of Rebellion. 4 To restore to the Duke of Savoy the Fort
in Monsferat which hither to hath been kept from him 5. To
revoke all such Acts as have been made in the imperial Chamber
against the Duke Modena.

Austrian Forces must be put into quarters: the most of the
