VVedneſday June 20. 1660.

YEſterday the Baron of Pelnitz, the Maſter of the Horſe, Chamberlain and Colonel of the Regiment of the Guards of his Electoral Highneſs of Brandenbourgh, and his Extraordinary Envoy to his Majeſty, had Audience at VVhitehal. The Maſter of the Ceremonies went to fetch him from his Houſe, with two rich Coaches, each with ſix Horſes, and ſo conducted him to VVhitehal; being brought [Page] up ſtairs, the Vice Chamberlain conducted him through a gallery full on both ſides of Gentlemen, unto the Preſence Chamber door, where the Earl of Mancheſter, Lord Chamberlain, conducted him to his Majeſty, who ſtaid expecting him there. His Majeſty was bare during the whole audience: his Speech was pretty long, containing a congratulation upon the happy reſtauration of his Majeſty, and the expreſſion of his [...] Highneſſes joy for the ſame. His Majeſty returned a very obliging anſwer, ſuitable to the affection that [...]lector hath ſhewed unto him in former times, being the firſt forreign Miniſter with Credentials to his Majeſty that made a publick addreſs. The Audience being ended, the Lord Chamberlain conducted him back through the ſaid Gallery to the ſtairs head, the Vice Chamberlain to the Coach, and the Maſter of the Ceremonies, with another Gentleman, and the two Coaches brought him home again, an honor we have not heard of conferred before on any forreign Envoy, by a King of England, and now done to ſhew the high ſentiments his Majeſty hath of the Electors former kindneſs to him.

Monday, June 18. 1660.

A Letter from Lievtenant Col. Yardly, to M. Thomas Aſht [...]n, Chaplain to the Engliſh in Jerſey, was communicated to his Excellency General Monck, containing the ſole unity of his Majeſties Proclamation there, by his order a ſta [...]ely Sc [...]ffold was erected in the market place of S. Hillaries Town, where were preſent all the Engliſh Officers and Souldiers, and the Hon [...]rable Sir Philip Cartaret, and the chief of the Gentry, the Proclamation was in Engliſh and French, after each followed volleys of ſhot, and loud acclamations of God ſave King CHARLES the Second; at night the ayr was lighted with bonfires, and the Iſland thundred with the great Guns, at leaſt a hundred ſhots were made from them in that ſmall place, conſiſting but of [Page] twelve Pariſhes, the like rejoycing was never known there in any ones memory now living; 'tis diſputable whether the Engliſh or the Iſlanders were more cordial, or ſaw more ſigns of thankfulneſs, but 'tis out of controverſie, that his Majeſty hath not more loyal Subjects in his Dominions, their obedience being confirmed by the preſence of his Majeſty among them after his Fathers death of bleſſed memory, and his own miraculous deliverance at Worceſter fight, which ſo encreaſed their courage, that Ierſey was the laſt place loſt from his Majeſty, being kept by the faithful and couragious Sir George Cartaret, until his Majeſty ſent him an Expreſs out of France to ſurrender it.

Venice, May 2 [...]. 1660.

After ſo many ſeveral Reports of the Enterpriſe of Generaliſsimo Moroſini, we hear by Letters from him to the Senate, that having retired his Forces from about Negroponte, the Fort whereof would have kept too long his Army, he hath upon a ſudden fallen upon the Iſle of S [...]atto, not ab [...]ve 20 miles diſtance from the other, and before the Enemies could recover themſelves, did ſo vigorouſly aſſault the Caſtle, that notwithſtanding the reſi [...]tance of thoſe within, he took it two days after, wherein he found 70 Pieces of Ordnance, with Prov [...]ſions for a moneth for his whole Army. Thus his deſign was to demoliſh it, [Page] that he might hereafter ſo much the more eaſily get the Contributions of that Iſle. We hear from Conſtantinople that the Grand Signior is yet at Andrinople, where he doth remain by the advice of the Divan, to haſten the march of the Forces deſigned againſt Prince Ragotski. That the firſt Vizier is returned thither from Belgrade, hoping the change of air will much contribute to the recovering of his health▪ and that the Grand Signor never miſſed a day without giving him a viſit, and asking his advice upon his affairs. In the mean while, having need of all his Forces, upon an enquiry into the ſtate of his Militia in pay, he hath found 120000 F [...]ot and 40000 Horſe, beſides his ordinary Guards, which are above 10000 men, with 50 Gallies, 12 Mahones, 30 great ſhips and many ſmall ones. The Letters ſay further that the ſaid Grand Signor ſeemed to be very much troubled for the Peace between France and Spain, not doubting but that his Empire, which uſeth to take advantage of the diviſion among the Chriſtian Princes, will ſuffer by their re-union. And indeed, beſides the 4 Gallies of the Pope, the 7 of Maltha, and the 3 of the Great Duke of Tuſcany, which have been ſeen about Corfeu and Zante, going to joyn with our Fleet, we hear that the French ſhips, carrying Forces thither, were not very far. We hear by a Ship come from the ſaid Iſle of Zante, that three French private Men of War, under the Commiſſions of Maltha, having lately faln in the Seas of Rhodes, upon a Sultana going from Alexandria towards Conſtantinople, as a Convoy to ſome Saicks, took the third Sultana, and two of the Saicks, having killed two hundred Turks, who defended themſelves very reſolutely for five houres together. That Prize, valued above 400000 Crowns, hath been carried to Maltha.

Beſides the particulars mentioned in my laſt, concerning the laſt Ceremonies of the Kings Marriage, I have theſe following to adde, that you might have a perfect account of that extraordinary occaſion. The Church of this place having been prepared before with all poſſible pomp for ſuch an auguſt ſolemnity, all the Court repaired thither about Noon, by a Bridge made purpoſely from the Queen Mothers lodgings to the ſaid Church, whereof both ſides were guarded by a double File of the French and Switzers Guards. The Kings Muſquetiers on Horſeback, were in the middle of the place before the Kings Houſe, all in new and rich Caſſecks. The Company of the Archers of the Grand Provoſt of the King's Houſhold went before, then that of the 100 Switzers, the Kings Footmen, the Pages of the great and ſmall Stables in great number; thoſe of his Majeſties Bed-chamber, all in new and magnificent Liveries, and ſeveral Grandees in black Clothes, with Cloaks lined with Golden Stuffs, and laces black mingled with imbroidery of Gold. Then came alone Cardinal Mazarine, 12 Gentlemen of the Ordnance, round about him. After him came the King richly apparelled, and marching in great Majeſty between the Marquis of Peguillen and the Marquis of Humieres, and two Gentlemen of his Chamber on each ſide. The Marquis de Charoſt, Captain of the Guards followed him, with two of the ſaid Guards. Then came the Queen with her retinue, after the manner expreſſed in my laſt. The Queen Mother came after, very joyfull of the occaſion of the ceremony of that day, to which ſhe contributed moſt of all. She was led by her Knight of Honour, and one of her Gentlem [...]n Uſhers, the Counteſs of Flex her Lady of Honour carrying her Train. Madamoiſelle followed, having her Train carried by M. de Mancini. The Ladies a [...]d Maids of the two Queens cloſed the march, being followed by the Queen Mothers Guards: Abundance of Trumpets were blowing all the while. The Ceremonies of the Church you had in my former Letters, as alſo the particulars of that days Ceremonies at home.

[Page]The next day, their Majeſties went to the Recollects Church to their Devotions, and about night went to take the air by the ſea-ſide. The ſame day, the Cardinal Mazarine had another conference in the Iſle with Don Louis de Aro, about the remaining differences of ſome of the Allies. The 12. the Popes Nuntio, the Ambaſſadors of Venice, the Reſident of Genoa, the Envoy of their Royal Highneſſes of S [...]voy, and the Deputies of the Parliament and Chamber of Accounts of Pau [...], being conducted by Mr. de Chabenas-Bonnevil, had Audience of their Majeſties. Mr. Akakia hath brought hither the Treaty of Peace between Swedeland and Poland, to be ratified by the King, as Mediatour between thoſe two Crowns. To morrow their Majeſties are to depart from hence for Bayonne; from whence the next day to Aix, and from thence through the little Lands to Bourdeaux.

Marſeille the 15 of June 1660.

The 9 inſtant two Gallies coming from Italy came to our Iles, carrying into Spain the Prince Ludoviſio. They went from thence the 13 following; and the ſame day the Duke of Mercoeur came hither from Aix to haſten the work of our Cittadel, having ſent hither before above 300 new workmen.

Amſterdam the 17 of June 1660.

The 14 inſtant the Princeſs Royal, and the Prince of Orange her ſon came hither, and were received by our Inhabitants; of whom 3 Companies under their arms and richly apparelled, the foot of our ordinary Guard, and all our Young men were gone out to meet them, and brought them in with a great Co [...]tage of Coaches, and 18 Chariots of Triumph prepared for their reception. All our great Guns were ſhot off, and anſwered by the Artillery of above 150 ſhips in our Port: ſince that time there hath been nothing here but Feaſtings and rejoycings, either publick or private, whereof the moſt conſiderable Inhabitants of the Neighbouring towns, who came hither purpoſely, have been partakers. The Peace between Sueden and Denmark is confirmed; all Europe [Page] ſeeming now to have ſhaken off the War to imbrace the Peace this Province following their example hath already conſented to an accomodation with Portugal.

Paris the 26 of June 1660.

Yeſterday the Te Deum was ſung here in the Church of our Lady for the happy accompliſhment of the Kings Marriage. The Chancellor with the whole Council of the King, the Parliament, the Chamber of Accounts and the Court of Aids having been ſummoned to be there by the Kings order, delivered them by M. du Pin, Aide of the Ceremonies, were preſent thereunto, with the body of the Officers of this City, and an infinite number of perſons of Quality. At night the Bonfires were made every where in our ſtreets, and all our windoes were full of lights, and our Cannon ſpoke our joy by break of day. We hear that the Court arrived at Bayonne the 15 inſtant, and was to go the next day for Bourdeaux. The 22 the Prince arrived here from Bourdeaux, where he hath left the Court. He hath been but three dayes upon the way.

Stockholm the 26 of May 1660.

Nothing is ye [...] concluded in the Treaty with the Grand Duke of Muſcovy: the chief of our Embaſſy to him, the Lord Beng Horn is returned hither ſome five dayes ſince to take new Orders of the young King; and we hear that likewiſe the Ruſſian Commiſſioners are gone to their Maſter upon the ſame account: but we hear the ſaid Grand Duke will not hearken to reſtore ſuch places as he hath lately taken in Liffeland, although he hath heard of the concluſion of the Treaty between this [...]rown and Poland. On our ſide we are reſolved never to yield unto that, nor relinquiſh our right to thoſe places. The Embaſſador of the ſaid Duke that was here, hath been diſmiſt preſently upon the advice hereof, he being thought to be only here as an honourable Spy. 30 Ba [...]ks are here ready to tranſport our Army to Nerve upon the Borders of Moſco [...]y, to be ready in caſe of a breach, which is thought to be like to inſue upon this between this Crown and that Duke.

In conſequence of the peace between the two Northern Kings, the priſoners of War at Gluckſtrade have been releaſed by order of the King of Denmark; and among other the Prince of Anhalt, and the Lieutenant General Horne, who are ſince arrived here. By Letters from Coppenhagen of the 5 inſtant, we hear That the Suedes are gone from the Leagure before that City, from whence two ſhips had been ſent to the Ile of Falſter to ſhip them away. The Lord Hannibal Seeſtede, and the Lord Slinglandt are ſent into Suedland; the firſt from the King of Denmark, and the ſecond from the States General of the United Provinces; not only to condole the death of the late King of Sueden, but alſo to congratulate the coming of the preſent King to the Crown. The Suediſh Army lyes ſtill in Zealand, expecting the orders from the Suediſh Court for their next imployment. The allyed forces in Jutland and Holſtein do ſtill lye there, and nothing is yet given out of their marching away. The Peace hath been publiſhed in the Dukedome of Bremen.

From Edenburgh, June 19.

Out of the affection I have for you, I have with every conveniency acquainted you with what paſſeth here worthy of your knowledge or obſervation, and at this time eſpecially, I have made bold to borrow a few minutes from the publick Solemnities, to give you that in brief which we are celebrating with that ſplendor and affection and unfeign [...]d tokens of joy, that the like hath not been ſeen before in this Nation; for great and wonderfull is the Lords work of deliverance in that day when we expected to be overturned with confuſion, and covered with deſolation.

The Magiſtrates of this City and our Presbytery, being moſt ſenſible of the great mercy received, did appoint this the day of their publick Thankſgiving to God for his ſignal love and kindneſs ſhewed to them, in inveſting our moſt gracious Soveraign with his Thrones of England and Ireland, and for reſtoring him to his Government over this his ancient Nation, that for twenty hundred years hath flouriſhed under the Scepter of his Royal Anceſtors. And have given notice of this their reſolution to all the Burghs and P [...]e [...]byte [...]ies of Scotland, deſiring their concurrence, that as their Cauſe is, ſo their joy may be univerſal: Our Miniſters in their Sermons with ſo much fervency and paſſionate expreſſions delivered what great kindneſs the Lord had for us, in reſtoring to us our good King, that it hath not been obſerved that at any time their E [...]tations have b [...]en entertained with ſuch attention, and ſo plentifull tears, by their Audito [...]y. The Engliſh Officers of State and Warre obſerved the [Page] Thankſgiving with no leſs joy and devotion after Sermon, and after we had all dined together, we all marched from the Council-houſe to the Croſs, in this order, The Town Council in their Gowns, with their trumpets ſounding before them, went firſt, then two Bailies before the Engliſh Commiſſioners and Officers, and two behind them went next▪ The Provoſt all alone before the Scots Nobility and Gentry that are in Town, and two Bailies with the Dean of Gild and Theſaurer followed after. Their Guards, neer ſix hundred Citizens in comely apparel, armed with Swords and Partiſans, the Croſs was covered with Artificial Vines loaden with Grapes, both good Cla [...]et wines plentifully ſpringing out from all its Channels. On its heads a Baccus beſtradling a Hogſhead with two or three Satyrs, did with their mimick g [...]ſtures and jeſts entertain the beholders. A little below the Croſs, within a Rail was errected a Scaffold ſix foot high, on which was placed a large Table covered with a rich Banquet ſerved up in glaſs, and repreſenting divers forms and devices as his Majeſties Arms, the Arms of the City; and divers Exotick Trees vvere raiſed, loaden with their Leaves and Fruits, &c. The Table being ſurrounded with above one hundred perſons of Eminency. The Muſick and breaking of Glaſſes vvere ſeconded by three general Vollies of the Horſe and Foot, vvho received as handſome anſvver from the great Guns of the Caſtle, Ci [...]adel and ſhips in the Road; and all were ec [...]hoed by joyful Acclamations of the people.

After this the forces drew off, affording the civilities of view to the people, amongſt whom the diſhes and banquet were hurled, and ſo aroſe and marched down to the Piazzo of the Palace of Holyrod houſe, fi [...]ſt the Commiſſioners, nex [...] the Mayor General wi [...]h his Army, and after them the City Magiſtrates with their guards; whence after the Masket had ſaluted them there with divers vollios, and had [...]ceived a retu [...]n from the great guns of the Caſtle citadal and ſea, as formerly they marched back again quite thorough the City up to the Caſt [...]e-hill, from w [...]e [...]e every one part returned to ſpend the reſt of the evening with their friends in mirth and mutual joy and entertainments. But now begin in the Bells and the Fireworks, therefore I muſt be gone to aſſiſt in the dances of our Magiſtrates and Ci [...]izen abou [...] the Bonefires, and on my knees to remember [...]he health of my Soveraign and his loyal kindred, and the proſperity of his Excellency and all thoſe Heroes and No [...]les who have been inſtrum [...]ntal, or do rejoyce with us in this our great deliverance and happineſs.

His Sacred Majeſty, but of a ſence of the high deſerts of Col. John Covert u [...] Glaug [...]am, in the county of Suffex, (who formerly ſerved in the Army of his [...]e Majeſty of ever bleſſed memory with much courage and fidelity, and [...] ſince that, notwithſtanding the cruelty of his enemies, and their perſecuting of him for continuing his allegiance to his preſent Majeſty, ſtill remained unſhaken in his reſolutions to perform his duty, for which he was by Oliver Cromwell impriſoned in the Tower) was graciouſly pleaſed firſt to Knight him, and then give him a Patent for Baroner.

His Majeſty conferred the honour of Knighthood on William Poult [...]ty, a perſon that ever had a great civility for all that were for the Royal cauſe, and a loyal heart for his Majeſties ſervice.

Col. Roger Moſtyn is made Gentleman of the privy chamber to his Majeſty to enjoy all priviledges, &c.

On Munday, the right honourable the Earl of Shrewsbury preſented to his Majeſty an Addreſs of the Nobility and Gentry of the County of Worceſter enti [...]u [...]ed.

To the Kings moſt Excellent Majeſty, The humble Addreſs of the Nobility and Gentry in the County of Worceſter.

The Addreſs was ſubſcribed, Tho. Windſor, Tho. Coventry, Will. Ruſſell, and above fifty others. His Majeſty returned them his hearty thanks, telling them, He was well aſſured of their Loyalty and affection, and ſhould ever have a good eſteem of them.

One Payne, formerly a Meſſenger of Oliver Cromwell, is ſecured; there being information againſt him, That he was the Executioner of that Execrable m [...]der of his late Majeſty.

On Monday Serjeant Atkins, a perſon of knowen integritie and great learning in the Law, ſate Baron of the Exchequer.

It being prohibited by the Houſe of Commons, upon the miſcarriage and abuſes of ſome idle Pamphletters, That any of the Votes of that Houſe ſhould be printed without ſpecial Order, the Reader is deſired to excuſe us, if in obedien [...]e to them we cannot yet give him ſo full ſatisfaction.

Books from the Office of Intelligence having formerly given you an account that Mr. Scot, one of the late pretended High Count of Juſtice for trial of his late Majeſty was brought to Weſtminſter; I muſt confeſs, though enquired of by many, I could not give ſatisfaction therein, being tender to gainſay any thing I did not well know, eſpecially in a matter concerning Mr. Scot, with whom that Pamphl [...]ter formerly kept ſuch conſtant intelligence; till meeting with a near relation of his, I was informed that he was at Bruſſels, where he had tended himſelf to Sir Henry de V [...], till his Majeſties pleaſure ſhould be further known concerning him; laying himſelf now at laſt at the feet of his Majeſties mercy as his onely ſecurity.

From Ireland we are certified, that there are yet ſome unquiet ſpirits amongſt them, which do endeavour to bring that Nation again into confuſion, as may appear by a Letter lately taken, of dangerous conſequence; the intent of it is to ſtir [...] to a new War. But being by providence ſo early found out, their Plot is doubtleſs quite ſpoiled. For ſuch is the prodence and valour of the perſons intruſted with the management of affairs in that Nation, that we need not fear, had they headed, much leſs now the Deſign [...]s diſcovered.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
