Assoon as the Prince went from Paris, he wrote
letters to the Parliament of Grenople and Aix about
his jealousie, and sent them a Copy of the Queen's
charge against him, and the Duke of Orleans his
justification in his behalf. The People of Province
do demand now the Duke of Valois, or the
Prince of Conti for their Governor. The Duke of
Orleans is at Limours since Saturday last, still discontented
of the Court. Friday last an Express was
sent to the Pope, for obtaining the Cardinal's cap
for the Coadjutor. The Pope is faln again very
sick, and out of hopes of recovery: one of his
Nephews died of a feaver. Yesternight we received
news of the Prince of Condé's arrival at Bourdeaux,
and his entertainment. Notwithstanding
the former shew of readiness to give content to
the Protestants here upon their grievances, yet
they receive no satisfaction in gross but onely upon
some petty particular business, and that with
much ado, and many injuries put upon the parties
by the Secretaries of State.
The two Brother-Princes of Conde and Conti, have sold all their
Plate to raise money; and tis thought they have by them a considerable
sum of 15000 Crowns, besides the 100000. Crowns brought
by the Duke of Nemours, one of their party.
Many of the Citizens understanding the Kings intentions to depart,
came to intreat him the contrary; which he promised, and like a King,
no sooner made promise but he broke it.
The Queen offers the restoring of Sedan to the Duke of Bouillon, upon
condition of demolishing the fortifications, which he refuseth.
which party he, or his brother Marshal de Turenno, means to take, is as
yet past all mens understanding. Some say a Cardinal's-cap is already
presented to the Coadjutor.
The Duke of Longueville, who married the Prince of Condé's Sister,
hath taken up his station in his Government in Normandy, where
he goes from Town to Town to see how things stand there. He lay
lately at Avernou, but upon what design, is unknown.
