WE are very barren of news. The D, of Orleans hath
acquainted the Queen with the Pr. of Conde's desires
for the Tryall of Servient, le Tellier, and de Lyonne: that
the 4 Marshals of France made lately be her, and by the Cardinal,
be cashiered: that the States be holden in Paris; that
the Dutchess of Chevreuse, and the Duthcess of Aiguillon

tryed to effect the general peace for the easing of the people;

wherein it is thought they will not name the three abovesaid

hath caused a letter of his to the good Citizens of Paris to be

wife is arrived here out of Ireland some dayes since

SIR, Blested be the Lord, who thus carries on the work of Ireland;
wee trust we shall also in like manner behold his appearance here but
