begin by a brave speech made by the Lord Chancelor;
to which the Emperor having added somthing,
he afterwards delivered his Demands in
writing to the Archbishop of this City, which
were read immediatly before the Assembly, who
are much discontented that the Emperour without
their knowledg or consent had proceeded to
the election of a new Palatine, who is a Papist,
seeing that by the Laws of the Land it ought to
have been a Protestant. The said Assembly is
much sollicited to proceed to the coronation of
the young Archduke Leopoldus Ignatius, son to the
Emperor, but most are of a contrary opinion, and
desire to have satisfaction upon their demands,
chiefly in points of Religion, that they may have
full liberty to live quietly, and not be disturbed
in the exercise thereof.
From Newcastle, April 4.
We have lately taken one Mr Bowes, a notable
Cavalier, and one that has a good Estate, who
came out of the Bishoprick of Durham, thinking to
have secured himself in this Country. Hee no
sooner came into these parts but he was secured,
otherwise than he intended, being sent away to
Carlisle. One Huddlestone is sent likewise to the
same place by Col. Howard, we doubt not but all
will continue quiet hereabout, most of the Country
Gentlemen whom we had cause to suspect,
being taken into safe custody.
From Gaunt April 18.
Yesterday I received two Letters from Lile,

Souldiers of the Garison have occasioned in Armentiers,
