stand to their Sentence and come in at their Summons to answer for themselves I remember an Example during the last troubles in the person of Monsieur the Prince they had given him some cause to apprehend he might be again confined though but newly out of Prison which occasioned his retreat to S. Maur. The Parliament deputed two Counsellors to go to this Prince and invite him to come and shew the Reasons for his retiremens to the Parliament He comes accompanied with his Royal Highness the Prince of Conty the Princes of Nemours Guise and other Lords that assembled themselves There the first President addressing his Speech to the Prince boldly reprov'd him for withdrawing himself tumultuously from Paris and told him That he would make him responsable for all the disorders that should happen those actions of his being but like the Alarms to a Civil War during the Kings Minority it being well known at Court that he kept Secret Intelligence with the Kings Enemies and caused several places to be fortified amongst which Bellegarde was one To which the Prince replied with as much heat That if any disorders did happen in the Kingdom themselves would be the only causers of it to which they had already given birth That for his part he detested the designe of any such disturbance in his Soul and for the correspondence they mentioned he held with the Enemy it was false nor could they produce the least Witness against him there being as little verity also in what they alledged touching Bellegarde which they particularly objected concerning which he vow'd and protested both to his Royal Highness and the Court that there had not been one shovel full of Earth removed to any such intent Upon which the first President with as much confidence as he began resumed his Speech and told him That indeed his words were good and plausible but yet many times mens words and intentions look contrary ways as his were suspected to do and then proceeded to reprove him in these terms It is very laudable to see the Prince of Conde keep within his Palace in the Fauxburgh Saint Germaines and not vouchsafe to go over the new Bridge to wait upon the King his Lord and Master This looks like an intrenching and barricading ones self on the other side of the River against the Louvre and what will strangers say Sir when they hear of such proceedings of the Prince of Conde towards the King The Prince replied again as smartly as at the beginning That his Royal Highness had given him caution not to do it and would not undertake for the security of his person the Cardinal Mazarine ruling still in the hearts of the Court where his Enemies were yet the strongest party and threatned him with a second imprisonment But that he still must attribute all the disorders and disturbances that might happen to their negligence unless they would acquaint the King and Queen with his just Reasons and most humble Remonstrances This contest betwixt the Presidents and the Dukes and Pairs of France for Precedency hath been of late started up more then ever upon some accidents hapning in a general Procession One of these last Holydays the President de Mesmes Footmen being the more numerous took place of the Duke of Brisac's upon which there ensued a great quarrel and debate but the Duke 's were in fine constrained to yield to the number and strength of the others upon which the Duke 's preferred their complaints with a great deal of heat having demanded for Justice against them each of them made their own defence and the Duke's have newly produced their Manifesto and presented it to the King to have a decision of it It is said that his Majesty goes in person the next week to the Parliament for this end and to give order to the Chancellour to collect first the Votes of the Dukes and Pairs before those of the Presidents But others that are very clear-sighted do believe that the business will be thus accommodated That the Presidents shall have precedency in the Parliament but shall any where else give it to all Dukes and Pairs especially at Extraordinary Ceremonies and Triumphant Showes where the Sword seems to claim a Right above the long Robe Of this we expect the Issue THE Character or Pourtraict Of the QUEEN-MOTHER ANna Maria Mauritia of Austria Daughter of Philip the III. King of Spain was married to Lewis the XIII King of France and Navarre The Marshall d' Ancre made up this match and carried the King to Bourdeaux to that end whilest an Army lay amusing the Princes of the League in Champagne She was married many years before she had any children but at length she brought forth this King and Monsieur only having never had any Daughters or other Children then these two After the death of Lewis the XIII she was declared Queen Regent and made use of the counsel and administration of Cardinal Mazarine during the time of her Regency and the Kings minority The beginning of his Ministery was both peaceable and happy enough for to gain the amity and good will of the great ones he shewed the Kings favours upon them with an open hand indifferently being contented to engage them to be of his party that they should share with him in his Masters Grace and Authority He endeavoured likewise at first to strengthen himself with some considerable Alliance and to this purpose he sent for some of his Nephews and Nieces and other Relations whom he caused to be bred up at Court after the French Mode and Air upon the hopes of future Grandeur But we shall mention this Minister in a Chapter apart which shall describe both his Person and Conduct The Queen-Mother is a good and vertuous Princess of a pacifique spirit and an exemplary Piety She wants neither for resolution nor conduct in great affairs nor for good will towards the publick Interest Her great courage was apparent during the troubles of her Regency when she resolved to make use of her power against Paris and asked the Prince upon his return from the battail Will you suffer them to affront the Regal Authority meaning the business of the Barricadoes when they would absolutely have Monsieur Broussel released leased upon their popular insurrection This violence concerns you continued she To whom the Prince replied Madam behold this Sword of mine is ever at his Majesties service which you may absolutely command She shewed also a great deal of resolution in her enterprize upon the Princes whom she caused to be seized on by her Captain of the Guards but her undaunted spirit appeared most eminently after the Cardinals absence when she took the Helme of the State into her own hands and steering all affairs during that hideous tempest causing the King to be declared in his Majority after she had driven the Prince into Guyenne and confined the Cardinal de Retz who had been flattered with the hopes of being chief Minister In
