resolution, and somewhat more inflamed than they are at
Paris; for, they have streightly besieged the Castle of Leytour,
taken Copies of the countenance of Monsieur Moran the
Governor, and his Lieutenant, and executed them in Effigie,
levelled his house, cut down his woods, and seized upon six
thousand Liures that were due to him from a Merchant of
Thoulose, to shew that now is the time, wherein the Court-pick-pockets
will be constrained to give up their Accompts, and
make even with the People.
To this end, the Count de Oignon proceeds in fortifying
Brovage, and securing la Rochelle, encouraging the Country
round to stand fast for their Liberty. The Duke of Bouillon
issues forth new Commissions and money apace at Bourdeaux.
The discontented Nobility of Auuergne, Bourbonnois, Provence,
and Languedoc, begin to appear openly in action. And
though the Royalists endeavour to smother the Intelligence,
yet its sure enough, that the Marquis de la Force, and the viscount
de Arpajou, have publikely declared for the imprisoned
Princes; which is the Cause why the Forces appointed for
Italy have been countermanded, and reserved for other employment
in Guienne, in case the Court be baffled at Bourdeaux,
concerning which, the next Post will tell you more to the
purpose.
Monday, July 22.
FRom the Mount in Cornwall, its certified, that Sir John
Grenvile hath at length finished, and furnished out his
Shallops, which prey up and down upon the Coasts, in hope
to shark out a subsistence by the losses and miseries of England,
as well as their Master in Scotland. But by way of prevention,
care is taken to secure the Cornish from these petty Pirates by
Sea; and the County likewise from the Cut throates by Land,
all whose Eggs are like to prove addle by the Settlement of
the Militia, and setting Springes to catch the Royall Woodcocks
upon new Insurrections.
And no doubt but all will thrive very well, as long as we
go on with the good work of purging the Priesthood; which
(as say the Letters from Milford) is very effectually executed
