subscribe my self Your humble servant Robert Venables Charlemount 30 May 1652. Several Expresses are come from Paris dated June 15. An abstract whereof take as followeth The Parliament of Bourdeaux being sate the Prince of Condi did motion that it was fit to send Commissioners to that of Paris together with a Copie of some late transactions which the Parliament disliked and immediately arose without giving any answer the next day the Prince being come again thinking to get an answer the Parliament knowing of it did adjourn for three days The next day the Assembly of Lormeir met again where there was an order made for the banishing of all suspected persons and upon pain of life not to return into the City this was made known the same day to 14 Members of the Parliament amongst them the President Pychon The chief man of that Assembly finding that their Officers were fearfull to deliver that message went in his own person and withall threatned them sore That if after the next day they were found in the City they should all be stabbed and the better to know who is well affected or not therefore they will compel the rest of the Parliament to sign certain Articles which they call Articles of Union and suspect all those who make any difficulty or refuse it The Duke of Lorrain upon the 11th instant sent an Express to the Duke of Orleans to tell him That seeing he had no real satisfaction upon his demands but delays therefore he intended to march back again with his army into Flanders which made the Duke of Orleans forthwith go to him being accompanied by the Prince of Conde and several other Lords and being come into the Camp there was very great conference with the Duke of Lorrain which ended to the great satisfaction of both parties which appeared immediately by the great rejoycings made on both sides and chiefly at the great Feast which was made them by the Count Ligneville being returned hither we hear they have made an offensive and defensive league to force the Court to conclude a peace with Spain and thereupon the Prince of Conde hath sent an express Order to his Lievt Gen. at Estamps to advance on this side and come to joyn with the Lorrain army The Commons of this City have met this week severall times in the Town-Hall where many complaints were made of the many disorders and wrongs dayly done by the Lorrain forces in the County of Brio and it was ordered that some in the name of the Assembly should repair to the Duke of Orleans and desire some speedy remedy all those evils being come thither he heard them and for their satisfaction told them That he had not the command of that army to which the Court had appointed their Quarters all along their march that he had been forced to call in those Forrain forces by reason that he found them not so resolute and constant as he was in the design wherein they all stood ingaged for the expelling the Cardinal of Mazirine out of France who was so bold as to have brought with him good store of forrain souldiers although there was several Declarations of the Kings confirmed by Parliaments for prohibiting the same many fine smooth words to that purpose having but little influence The next day the same complaints were made to the Parl. and the matter being put in debate it was resolved by the major part to oppose those Lorrainers by force of arms and in case they went on in their wicked proceedings that it should be lawful to any Commoner to slay and destroy them to the utmost but there rising some differences it was finally agreed that the Princes should be acquainted therewith and intreated to find some speedy remedy to all their grievances From France they write that the titular Duke of York is exceeding active for the Kings Majesty and hath so far prevailed with the Duke of Lorrain in his mediation for his Higness for a revolt from the Prince of Conde that the said Duke is resolved to quit that Kingdom as appears by the ensuing abstract though notwithstanding he had agreed with the Prince of Conde to fight against his Majesty and in pursance thereof drew his forces into the field joyned with the D. of Beaufort and placed his men in Battalia to receive the Kings party but upon the approach of Gen. Turein and Col. James Stuart with their forces instead of fighting them at Ville Hease St. George he very peaceably drew off without striking one stroke and left the P. of Condies men commanded by the D. of Beaufort to the mercy of a conquering enemy yet so gallantly did he dispute the field that he made an honourable retreat but not without some losse since which time the Kings forces have taken Brie and it s conceived intends for Paris if possible by reason that the Citizens seem to decline their resolutions for the D. of Orleans and begin to cry up the Kings interest This is both a round turn and sudden change and is chiefly occasioned by the Duke of Lorrains revolt who hath made an agreement for one hundred thousand Crowns to stand as a Neuter and fight for neither parties FINIS
