From Amsterdam; September 18.
We have received News of the Alliance de Garantie betwixt
the Seates generall and the King of Denmark, whereby they
are obliged to assist such other, for the maintaining of Commerce
upon the Baltick sea. And it is resolved to send a Copie
of it to his Highness the Protector of England, to let him, know
that the English may (if they please) be comprehended therein,
according to the 15 Article of the Treaty of Peace.
From Naples 12 of August.
The Plague continuing to assict the chiefest of this City,
hath lately [unr]atcht away the Prince of Atene of the house of
Craccioli, the Duke of Pepoli, Don Carlo de la Gatta. Three
Governors of the Vicasie, and many other persons of note,
and severall of the Clergie, but since it is not spread so much,
they have set upon the Tribunalls, and they begin to reestablish
the Commerce chiefly for provisions, whereof there is
great need, and which are brought hither in small quantitie,
in regard all the places which used to furnish this place are so
infected with the discase, that the Vice Roy is obliged to keep
all our gates shut except two, the one towards the Sea, and the
other towards the Country.
From Rome August 19.
The Commerce is prohibited with the City of Genes, upon
the advise that the Plague is there; which having also againe
appeard in some houses in that part of Trastevere, the Officers
of health begin to redouble their cares to hinder that it
spread no further. And in regard it harn been observed what
great inconveniencies do happen by putting all the Sick without
distimotion into one Pest-House, they have now appointed
some more for their use. The 15 currant the Lord Giustiniain
Ambassador of Venice deceased here of a Feaver: and presently
some Companies were set about his house to keep any
of his servants from coming, in regard that not many daies
before be dyed, one of his familie was carryed to the Pest-House.
