The Continuation of our Weekely NEWES From Rome the 1. of May. WHen the Cardinall of Strigonia vnderstood hee should not be admitted to haue audience of the Pope as Imperiall Ambassador he did desire that he might be heard by what Title soever Thus his Holinesse gaue him audience and his speech and complaints did last almost two houres where the Pope was so troubled and wearied withall that the Ambassadour of Toscany comming in after that the sayd Cardinall of Strigonia was gone found the Pope so displeased that he could not treat about any businesse but onely entertained the Pope with some other discourses to make him merry againe And the Pope himselfe confessing to be overwearied about the Cardinals propositions departed afterwards out of Rome retyring himselfe into the Country vpon the Patrimoniall land leaving strict order that none should come thither for any negotiation He went away on Wednesday morning and will not returne till the twentieth of this Moneth of May. Foure Gentle-men of this Citie of Rome being chosen by the Councell of the Campidoglio haue beene with the Pope to beseech him not to yeelde to the demands made for Spaine and Austria concerning the treasure of the Castle Whereupon the Pope with admirable eloquence wherein indeede he doth excell made a faire speech in answere representing with an exaggeration the favours formerly shewed to the sayd house of Austria and Spaine in giving them sums of monies amounting to many Millions and there hee broke forth in teares saying Pro gratiarum actione and for a recompence We finde now there is layd waite for our life Our life is sought for in our owne house And should We now giue to them the sustenance the bowels the blood of this Citie Let it neuer be sayd They would haue vs thus stripped and naked afterwards to invade Rome and to commit against vs against you My Lords against your wiues against your children against your blood against the Churches against God himselfe those cruelties and that wickednesse which an hundred yeares agone were committed in Rome The fore-sayd Romane Gentlemen being dismissed went forth full of complaints and hatred against the sayd house You cannot beleeue with what a generall joy and applause here is received the newes of the falling of the King of Sweden into Bavaria wherof I will not tell you more at this time for feare you doe take it as if I did write it out of passion although I can assure you that that Duke is here thought to haue beene the chiefest cause of the miseries in Germanie and that his exorbitant ambition hath deserved farre greater punishment then he can receiue though he should bee vsed ten times worse then those whom without cause he most vnjustly and cruelly hath persecuted and robbed c. An extract of a Letter written at Warshaw the 5. of Aprill 1632. Concerning the warre with Muscovia it is thought it cannot be shunned Therefore there are tenne thousand men to march towards the limits to obserue what the Russians intend to doe and if it be possible to make some longer truce or finding the contrary to send quickly word thereof hither to the Court. In which case there shall be more forces sent thitherwards and the Prince also is then to carrie some troopes some speake of 12000. men and joyne with the former and so withstand the said Muscovits And according as the enemie shall be found strong so those of Littaw shall then helpe accordingly And to this end both the Polonians and Lithuanians haue graunted a Subsidie of two pobores whereof two are to bee paid presently and two about Michaelmas next As for the children of our late Queene the States of Poland haue taken so good an order that they are now sufficiently prouided for to the great contentment of the King For Prince Iohn Albert who is an Ecclesiasticall person hee is to haue the Bishoprick of Cracow And although there was no mention or expression made of the other Church-man to witt of the Bishop of Neis Yet neuerthelesse it is supposed hee shall haue that of Ermband which the second Prince hath hitherto possessed And as for the two politick Princes named Casimerus and Alexander and likewise the Princesse their Sister amongst them the goods both moueables and immoueables as Chivaza Galbe Strasburg and what else shee did injoye both in Poland and in Lithuania shall bee divided according as his Majestie shall thinke best to giue order for At this free offer of the States the King hath taken much content and to shew himselfe thankfull for such an vnexpected bounty and liberality he hath both thanked them and surrendered some revenues which before were accounted amongst the due rents to returne after his death vnto the States of the Kingdom the said lands are granted vnto the said princes with condition that after their death they doe returne to the possession of certaine noblemen By this meanes the Prince Ratziville is come againe into great fauor of the olde King because he tooke great paines to haue the said Princes all well provided according to right and reason as he said seeing the King their father neglecting and loonsig his owne hereditary dominions came so freely and contented himselfe with the Electiue kingdome As for the matter of Coynes and the monie so much complained of it is referred to the next Parliament and remaines meane while in the olde estate And concerning the point of Inter-regnum and gouernment if the King should bee too sicke or dye it hath also beene delayed and left to some other Parliament Because many of the Burgesses had no instruction about that affaire and others did conceiue that his Majestie did intend to put the governement into the hands of his sonne Casimer and so to procure him the succession to the Crowne wherunto there is no likelyhood the States will euer giue their consent The rest of what was done you will find in the printed conclusion of this parliament which to make an end spent three dayes by reason that the good olde King was not able to fit so long Extract out of an other letter dated at Warshaw the 29. of Aprill 1632. Since my last which was of the 5. of this moneth our King fell againe very sicke and because he often did rcover we had no great feare he should as yet die but it was Gods pleasure to take him away on this very day which is the 29. of Aprill I cannot tell you at this time other particularities about his death for I haue my selfe beene not well these many daies and therefore beene absent from Court I will therefore only tell you that although there was hitherto no doubt but the States would without any great consultation or consideration make choise of the eldest Prince Vladislaus to make him King of Poland Yet neverthelesse I am at this very instant informed from a very good hand that the Arch-Duke Leopold the Emperors brother hath during the sicknesse of our
