Majesty the Queen of Sweden hath sent a Letter to the King of France wherein she earnestly implores his Majesty to hearken to an accommodation and Treaty for a generall peace and o comply with his Councel in all such wayes and means that may tend to the honour of his Majesty and the liberty and freedome of all his liege people in generall for composing the present differences and setling of a perfect Union Her Majesty offers her mediation in the businesse and to that end and purpose hath sent another letter to the Prince of Conde and the Duke of Orleans desiring their condiscentions and assent thereunto but as yet they have returned no answer the King hath answered her and imployed a Messenger of his own Her Majesty in the said Letter reminds the King of the Pension formerly granted and conferred upon the Scotch King desiring a continuance thereof c. which probably will not be effectuall by reason that the present emergent affairs of that Kingdome requireth extraordinary and vast summes of moneys for the carrying on of the work in hand for indeed great are the differences and distractions throughout his whole Territores and it s conjectured that they will not soon be composed by reason that the Duke of Lorrain is come into the assistance of the Prince of Conde and to that end the work is to be taken into mature deliberation at the Councell conveened in the Louvre in

Thurenne hath raised his batteries and doth play hard upon De Estamps being resolved to storm them by a general assault and those within are desperately resolved to oppose them so that probably there will be a great slaughter The Count of Harcourt hath sent some of his Horse thither to re-inforce the Kings army there The plague is very rife in the Spanish army before Barselona and the French

likewise sent a Letter to the King assuring him of their readinesse or the effecting of a perfect union to the end that they may be in a condition to assist each other in an offensive or defensive war
