The Brandenburgish Ambassadors busied still at Coppenhagen,
and the differences cannot as yet be reconciled and
determined. Resident Durels, business is not rellished at all.
Which makes us doubt, whither any peace will be concluded;
and though the Rix-Chancellor, and other great ones have
been often visited about the business, yet nothing but delays:
Lord Williamson Rosenwing is to Ambassador to Dantzick
The Lord Controller Ulfelds Lady is arived in Jutland,
