viz. 3000 at Conde, as many at Bouchaim, 1000 new

The news concerning the Swedes is to this effect, that by
the last ship which came from the Baltick Sea, it is informed,
that the King of Sweden had taken Amack-Island, the
place from whence Copenhagen was supplied with provisions.
That the King hath reduced the City very near to a surrender;
and the Danes of late making a sally forth, the King
narrowly escaped a hazard in his own person; for, one that
was a Dane by Nation, but pretended service to his Majesty,
gained so much confidence with him, that having recourse
to him at pleasure, he designed to have pistolled him at the
very time of a sally which the Danes had agreed to make out
of the City; and in the time of action upon this sally, though
the man had the opportunity, yet his heart failed when he
should have done the Feat, onely so much he did as served to
give a discovery of his purpose, and then to save himself from
punishment, he made a shift to retire along with the Danish
Horse which had issued out of the City, But of this a better
account another time.
What hath been done yet by the Dutch Fleet in those parts
or what is become of them, all Letters and persons are silent.
The preparations for the Funeral Solemnities of his late
Highness are near finished. In the Abby-Church of West-minster,
a noble structure is raising upon the ascent at the upper
end of the Chore, which will be richly covered and adorned,
and a Bed of State will be placed therein, whereon the Effigies
is to be placed, and exposed to publick view for some
time after the Funeral Ceremony shall be past.
