A LETTER SENT From the Court of his Royal Maiesty THE KING of FRANCE In the behalf and defence of the King of Scots WITH His Declararation and Protestation thereupon in the presence of God Angels and Men. Also The Articles of Peace and Unity agreed upon between the Kings most excellent Majesty and their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Orleans and the Prince of Conde Subscribed Lovis Rex WITH The new rising of the Scots their declaring against the Parliament and the burning of 100 houses in Glascow LONDON Printed for SAM COTTON 1652. A LETTER From his Royal Majesties Court the King of FRANCE Touching The King of Scots and the Articles of Union signed between him and the Prince of Conde SIR VVHereas his Sacred Majesty the King of France having received advertisements of the uncivil deportments of the Citizens of Paris against the King of Scots and being sensible of the inevitable distractions that might receive dependance thereupon immediately mediated with his Councel for a timely prevention thereof in pursuance whereof he graciously vouchsafed to send an expresse letter to the Citizens conjuring them from any riotous meeting or distempers as also from assailing or prejudicing the person of his well beloved Cousin CHARLS c. protesting in the presence of God Angels and Men that his Advice and Councel tended onely to the healing of the wounds of that bleeding Kingdome and that his innocency was a sufficient testimony to the world desiring God to bear him record thereof that all his negotiations tended onely to peace and unity and a right understanding between the Soveraign power and the body politick this Letter was signed by the Kings Royal Signet and Subscribed LOVIS REX The King is now upon his march towards Paris and his royal Retinue is come to St. Dennis The Articles of union are signed both by his Majesty and their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Orleans and the Prince of Conde which are to this effect to wit 1. That Cardinal Mazarine be first justified of all those things laid to his charge 2. That seeing hee must depart the Kingdome that he may be put into so honourable an employment as is befitting his rank and eminent quality 3. That his Royal Hignesse the Duke of Orleans and the Prince of Conde subscribe the returnn of the Cardinal after a certain time Thus are the affaires of France brought to a happy conclusion and the distractions of this Kingdome with great alacrity and joy composed to the great honour triumph and felicity of all those that are lovers of Monarchy St. Dennis Iune 24 1652. This Letter comming to my hands I thought it requisite to present to publick view to the end that all Christians may give their construction thereof according to its true sence by paraphrasing upon the subject according to the particulars enlarged in the ensuing paper Dated from Paris June 29. THe 25 instant in the Evening the Lievt Civil was beset by a great number of people in the Chastelet which is one of the comon prisons of the City and they seeing the Gates made fast and those in the house to be in a posture of defence and in a capacity to oppose them did set fire to the Gate which had it not been soon quenched might have proved very ominous to that City thereupon harsh Language passing the one against the other from words they fell to knocking where some few were slain on both sides and those that were detained there could not go out till 11 at night The last time the Parliament sate there was but little spoken about the Union between the Princes by reason that the Parliament will not meddle too far therein but keep in a neutrality that so they may be still within the capacity of Mediatours and because the King by his last answer to their Remonstrance presented to him at Melun his Majesty doth declare that his desire is That the Cardinal be first justified of all those things that are laid to his charge and next that seeing he must depart the Kingdome that he may be put into so honourable an employment as is besitting his rank and eminent quality The Princes having again subscribed the former Declaration by them made of laying down their arms so soon as the Cardinal was gone out of the Land The Parliament thereupon passed 2 Votes to this effect That all the Declarations Decrees Orders and Votes which have been made for the banishing of the Cardinal Mazarine out of the Land should be executed in their full tenour and without any hopes of return Monsieur du Portai rose up and said He knew no fitter employment for him then to send him to carry their answer to the Letter of the Queen of Sweden which would put him into his first trade of a Letter-Carrier or Messenger in the mean time the general report here is that the peace is made between the King and the Princes the Duke of Orleans having spoken the same two days since which is much doubted by many by reason of the great difficulties which meet in the business it being affirmed by many that the affairs are brought to that period upon the earnest instance of the Court to have the Princes subscribe the return of the Cardinal after a certain time which the princes refuse to do onely they will make the promise verbally but nothing in writing but whether the peace be concluded or not there is no other talk about the City and so I beleeve you will hear the same by many Letters The Court is removed from Melun and come near St. Denis and as some say is expected here to morrow being now but three Leagues off this City The Kings Army is still at Claye and the Princes Army at S. Clou and so all along to Surenne The Duke of Lorrain is by this time at his own home and hath put out a Declaration by way of Apologie to justifie himself about those imputations laid upon him concerning the late Treaty Charls Stuart and his confederates remain still as prisoners in the Louvre not daring to shew there heads abroad they being so much hated of all the people about their late actions in the Treaty between the King and the Duke of Lorrain so that it is thought he will not tarry here long but whether for Denmark or the Palatinate is not known By Letters from Venice thus We hear there arrived lately from Constantinople in that City an Express with Letters wherein the Great Turk and his Councel seem very much inclined to the peace and thereupon the Senatour Giovanni Capello is chosen to goe as Embassadour Extraordinary for the States who is to be gone with all speed to make the first Overtures and so try whether it may be brought to some conclusion In Dalmatia the Turks being together in great bodies there entred the country one Telepowick a renegado having with him about 5000. who came near Spallatto and did much spoil and wast the Country carrying away great store of people to make slaves great store of cattle and other rich booty which the Morlacks hearing did forthwith draw together in a very considerable number and being gone in pursuit overtook them and charged them so gallantly that after some small dispute put them to a rout in the Plain of Cracovy two days journy beyond Clissa there was slain of the Turks about 400. a great number wounded above 300 prisoners and gained upon the Turks besides what they had taken 450 horses and some Oxen which were for the Train and carriage besides being entred a days journey into Bosnia the enemies country they burned some Villages and carried away many prisoners and so returned homewards From Candia we hear that the Turks having made a strong attempt against that city which they have close sieged for these three years which they thought to have surprized but it being known to the Governour the enemy was so well received that he retreated in a disorderly manner leaving many of their men behind them The Governour of Milan since his taking of Trin hath again taken another castle in Piedmont and his forces do make many inroads in Piedmont they give out that they will block up Casal but that seemeth not probable The siege of Barcelona goeth on still but nothing is done lately there that is any way considerable From Scotland thus There hath been lately a great rising and many declare for the Scots King against the union with England they are very imperious against the Parliaments souldiers and some affronts hath been given but that which is most dismal is the firing of about 100 houses in Glascow FINIS
