Numb. 26. THE Parliamentary Intelligencer, COMPRISING The Sum of foreign Intelligence, with the Affairs now in Agitation in England, Scotland, and Ireland. For Information of the People. Published by Order of the late Council of State. From Monday June 11. to Monday June 18. 1660. From St. John de Luz, June 8. Being a full Account of the Ceremonies of the Marriage. THe second instant the King of Spain came to Fontarabia; the first ceremony of the King's Marriage with the Infanta was performed the next day by the Bishop of Pampolona, with the assistance of the Patriarch of the India's, in the Church of that Town, the Ceremonies whereof you had in the last. I shall add only what particulars of consequence that were then omitted. The Bishop of Frojus was there to see the Ceremony, with Two or three hundred French Gentlemen, mademoiselle was there also, but incognito, and went for the waiting Gentlewoman of the Lady No●illes, yet the King of Spain's guards had some special respect for her, and kept her from being molested by the crowd, during the Mass. Aafter the reading of the King's Proxy to Don Lewis d' Aro, the renunciation made by the Infanta of any pretensions to the States of Spain was also read, which she then confirmed by an Oath. The rest of the ceremonies used then were not much differing from the ceremony is used at other marriages, but only in point of stateliness. It was observed that the Infanta kneeled twice before the King her Father, the first time to ask his blessing, and the second afore she gave her consent to the marriage. She did shed tears at first, but soon after she appeared very resolute. The King of Spain who stood covered all the while, took the Ring, as it was agreed the day before, and did put it on his Daughter's finger. The ceremony being ended, the King of Spain showed her all the respect due to such a Queen, and gave her the right hand, both at the coming out of the Church, and in his own Coach. He likewise gave her his own lodgings and took hers; and that new Queen, which as yet had not been seen in public, dined there publicly in a large room, where mademoiselle and all the French there rushed in in a crowd. When the said Queen had dined, she smiled upon mademoiselle, and told her she very well knew the unknown Lady whom she called into her own chamber, and gave her many testimonies of her affections, after which mademoiselle returned hither with much satisfaction. About two a clock in the afternoon, the news of that ce●emony was brought to the King, who received it with much joy, as did also the Queen mother, who looks upon that marriage as her own work. That night there was a great Ball●t our townhouse, where the King danced first with Madamoiselle; after whom Monsieur the King's Brother took Madamoiselle d' Alencon, and danced with her, the Count d' Armagnac with Madamoiselle de Valois, and other Lords and Grandees with the Princess of Baden, the Duchess of Valentinois, and the other Ladies of the Court, all richly apparelled and adorned with abundance of Jewels. The fourth instant the Duke of Crequi, first Gentleman of the King's chamber, went with a very great and gallant retinue, and abundance of Nobility accompanying him from hence, to carry the presents to the new Queen, the particulars whereof you have hereafter; she received them with all the demonstrations of joy that can be imagined. The Marquis of Vardoes complimented her likewise in the King's name as some days before the Count de Noailles captain of the King's lifeguard did. The same day the Queen mother went to the Isle of the Conference, where she came about 2 a clock in the afternoon, and soon after the King of Spain and the Queen his Daughter with her Ladies of honour, came there in a Galliot, covered, painted within and without, being followed with another wherein was Don Lewis De Haro and several Spanish Grandees; after whom came a great number of small Vessels, very gallant, wherein was the rest of the Spanish Court. The shore was full of people, who admired the beauty of that Princess, which was much advantaged by the great quantity of Diamonds that were upon her rich garments. The King of Spain came ashore first, and took the Queen his Daughter by the hand, and conducted her to the very door of the Chamber of the Conference, where the Queen Mother of France, the King's brother, and the Cardinal Mazarine were: we hear not as yet what was done at that meeting, but they looked all to bevery well satisfied at their coming out. During their Conference the K: of France was incognito on horseback, within a musket shot, between a Riv●let and a Hill, with the Prince of Conty; and the Counts of Soissons and Armagnac, and divers other Grandees of the French Court, intending to cross the River that is about the Isle of the Conference, that he might see by the by the new Queen at the Window, with the Queen Mother; but the King's impatience made him change his design, and he went alone by the door of the Gallery to the very door of the Chamber, where he distinctly saw the King of Spain and the new Queen his Spouse. Don Lewis de Haro and the Cardinal Mazarine, who managed that business, for his majesty's satisfaction, stood by the door the better to conceal him all the while he was there. His Majesty retired after with much satisfaction, and declared to all that he had found the Queen very handsome. Not content to have seen her there, the King went towards the shore, where he had a full sight of her going again into the Galliot. From thence the Spanish Court returned to Fontarabia, and their Majesties came likewise hither. The 5 the King sent a compliment to the King and Queen of Spain by Mr. de Ballinghew the first Gentleman of the Horse. The 6 the two Kings met together in Private at the Isle of the Conference; and returned again thither the next day, with their whole Courts. During the whole time of their Interview both the Kings were still ●ncovered, that the Grandees of Spain might not have occasion to be covered, and both swore the Peace, the most Christian King in the hands of the Bishop of Bayonne, in the presence of Don Lewis de Haro; and the King of Spain in the hands of the Bishop of Pampelona, in the presence of the Cardinal Mazarine, who offered to the said King of Spain Mr. de Mancini for an hostage for the restitution of Roses and the other places, but he refused to take him, saying, That he would have no other assurances for it, but the word of his most Christian Majesty. Then having delivered his Daughter into the King's hands, the Queen Mother took her in her Coach, and the two Kings pa●ted with all the demonstrations of a perfect amity. The new Queen being come to St. John de Luz, had the whole next day, being the 8 Instant, to wipe off her tears, The same the Spanish begun their Journey towards Madrid. The King sent the Marquis de Villequier, to compliment the King of Spain before his departure. The 9 the last Ceremony of the Marriage was performed, whereat Cardinal Mazarine discharged the place of grand Almoner; mademoiselle carried the Taper; and the two Princesses of Alencon and Valois her Sisters carried the Queen's Train, with the Princess of Carignan. At the interview where the two Kings swore the Peace there were only present the royal persons, the two chief Ministers, and the Secretarys of State of both the Crowns. After the taking of the Oath, the two Kings signed it, and afterwards they embraced one another. The Guards on both sides gave two Volleys; The French Guards were divided in three Squadrons, the first of the Gensdarmes, the second the life-guard, and the third of the light horsemen, and two foot Bataillons, the first of the King's Musketeers, and the other of the French and Swisser Guards, all in blue Casacks. The Spaniards were in five Squadrons, and a great Bataillon, all in yellow Coats, with the Spanish Scutcheon before and behind, and St Andrew's cross upon the sides. A particular account of the Presents the Infanta hath received from the French Court. First, a rich Cabinet garnished with Gold and Diamonds and the King's ciphers, and her own with Royal Cowns. In that Cabinet are six complete suits of Jewels, viz. one all of Diamonds, the Pendants, the Prestador, the Posy, the Knots for the sleeves, and to put before, behind, and at the sides of the Gown, the small chain, the picture box, the Watch with the chain, and the little Hook, all of Diamonds.

From Presburgh, May 13, 1660. The Turks having spoiled all the frontier of Hungary, are come further into the Country, which hath so alarmed the Inhabitants, that every one is fled, and even some small Towns are totally deserted, the people having found no better expedient to avoid the cruelty of those Barbarians, set all a fire, and burn whatsoever they cannot carry away; yet the Bashaw of Offen, who commands them, doth still profess to be unwilling to undertake any thing against the Emperor's Dominions, which is conceived to be out of policy, for fear of be●ng obliged to engage with the Imperial Forces, before he receiveth the supply he is expecting 〈…〉 first vizier, which be●ng once arrived, 〈…〉 will be known, which in 〈…〉 he will pe●●wade us to be only 〈…〉. Danizick, May●● 1660. The Swedish forces formerly at Mariemburgh are removed, and are now quartered at Nogat, from whence they will not go, until all their arrears be paid them. Those that were at ●●bing begin also to mutiny; threatening to plunder the Inhab●●●nts, unless they be speedily satisfied. This hath obliged Major general Linden to go to Saphor, to acquaint the Swedish Commissioners with it, but they could nor raise yet the 20000 Crowns, though they have offered to give in pawn the Artillery they have here. The said Major General coming this way hath visited the Count of Koningsm●●k who is not to go from hence until the Duke and Duchess of Curland be at liberty, which will be very speedily. The affairs in Lithuania are still in a very bad posture, and there is a very little likelihood to have them easily settled again, if what we hear be true, that the Polish Army hath been totally routed by the Moscovites, who are said to have taken prisoner General Czarnesky who commanded it, and that in consequence of that victory, part of their forces had marched towards Warsow, and the rest towards Prussia, the confirmation whereof is daily expected. In the mean time the people are very much alarumd at this news; it is reported that the Elector of Brandenburg intends to have all his forces now in Holstein and Meckleburgh, to march this way. Cronenburgh, May 30. 1660. The Swedes seeing the obstinacy of those with whom they are treating, to show their inclination to the peace, sent word lately to the Dutch Ambassadors, that they were willing to quit their pretensions about the 400000 Crowns the King of Denmark was to pay unto them, and even to yield the Bailiwick of Druntheim, which having obliged the Commissioners to meet again, it is thought that all things will be very speedily concluded; but the ten Swedish Men of War are kept still by Vice Admiral Ruyter, who to hinder them to have communication one with the other, hath taken away all their shalops. Copenbagen, May 31. 1660. The conferences having been renewed between the Commissioners of both sides, the last project of the Mediators was propounded for a Treaty betwixt the two Crowns; but when all things were thought to be concluded, the Swedes declared they would not accept of it, but upon such condition, that the places should not be restored till six weeks after the ratification, and that the ten Men of War belonging to them should be presently delivered to them again, without staying for the said ratification. They likewise propounded some new difficulties concerning the Treaty of Ell●●●g, but the Dutch Ambassadors told them, that unless within two days they would give their consent to the last Treaty, with the explanations added thereunto, for the immediate restitution of the places after the ratification of the Treaty betwixt the two crowns, and the keeping of the ten Ships until all the differences were ended, the Vice-Admiral Ruyter had order after that time to use hostility against them, which Declaration hath so incensed the Swedish Commissioners, that they refused to continue any further that negotiation. Yet after some conferences they had with the Lord Hannibal Seestede, they were so well appeased, that few days after most of the differences were decided, so that it is hoped the Treaty will be speedily subscribed, being chiefly grounded upon that of Roschild, and the project made at the Hague. Berlin, June 1. 1660. The Elector of Brandenburg being returned hither two days since, hath sent his first Gentleman of the horse to the King of England to compliment him upon the occasion of his happy restoration. Narbone, June 7. 1660. Upon the advice come lately to the ships that are at Saint Tropez, that a Turkish brigandine had taken few days before a bark of Genoa, laden with wine and oil, they sent one of their vessels to pursue the Pycates, whom they fought with such resolution, that they forced them to abandon their prize, which was brought back again, with about eleven Turks that were upon her.

Hamborough, June 5. 1660. S. N. This day we received the joyful news of the peace between the two Northern Crowns, which was not only concluded the 27th of May, but also proclaimed that very day; presently upon which the King of Denmark sent order to the governor of Gue●stad for the publishing of it, and for a cessation of all kind of hostility. The Imperial and Brandenburghish forces in Holstein have also published the peace lately concluded between them and the Crown of Sweden, but it is not yet known when they will withdraw from thence; it is thought they will stay there until the ratification of the Treaty 〈◊〉 in Prussia be received. An extract out of Letters from Zealand, concerning the Peace and the Articles there agreed on, dated the 28●h of May, 1660.
