of Vigancour, to give an Answer to the King of
France, with the ordinary Civilities, and amongst
other things to declare, that he will punctually observe
the treaty of Munster in all particulars.
Archduke Leopold hath been here incognito to
visit his brother the Emperor, but is since retired,
being to have a solemne reception and entertainment
here at Court.
The Queen of Poland some time since departed

at Vilna, which meeting will (its believed) produce
no good to the Swede.
