Numb. 32. 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. From Monday July 30. to Monday August 6. 1660.  
THere is none that can be ignorant of England's Joy for his majesty's happy re●●●●. It hath been the general contest of all people, to strive to outdo each other in their solemnities. Though our Books were a long time crowded with what was done in this, or that place, yet were we forced to omit many, (as Halifax, Warwick, &c.) not because they were any way inferior to others in the expressions of their affect●ons, but to avoid the importunities of such as daily throng to us. None of these (I hope) will blame us, if we pay that Civility to a Foreigner, which we denied to our Countrymen; we being in this somewhat more obliged to them, as doing that for love, which we were bound to in duty. Take therefore this following Relation, as we received it by a Letter from—  

Heidelbergh, July 7.  
THe solemn day appointed by his Electoral Highness for a public Thanksgiving and rejoicing for the happy Return of His Majesty of Great Britain to his Kingdoms, being come, viz. Tuesday last, it was celebrated here in this manner. First his Highness and the whole Court left off their mourning habit that day (which they wore before, and since resumed, for his late Majesty of Sweden, and the deceased Electress Dowager of Brandenburg) to make the day and action the more joyful in every regard; at 8 of the clock his Highness came down from his palace, attended with a Noble and well-ordered Retinue, to the great Church, where choice music was heard in several parts thereof, and the 21. Psalm was sung by the whole Congregation, which was followed by an eloquent Sermon out of 2 Sam. 19.14, 15. (a Text appointed then for the whole Palatinate, together with a set form of prayer to give thanks for the mercy celebrated.) Sermon being ended, Te Deum &c. was sung most solemnly, with Organs and all sorts of musical instruments: The Church was so thronged, and the joy so great and general, as if the Palatinate were but then restored, or their Peace but now sealed and like to be settled. After this Divine service (and the like in the rest of the Churches here) his Highness returned with a greater Train up to his Palace, having invited divers Lords and Gentlemen, strangers and others, who were Princely entertained there, and his majesty's health, long life and reign, as also the health and happiness of both the Queens, the most illustrious Dukes of York and Gloucester, the Princesses Royal, &c. were with hearty apprecations cheerfully remembered, and sounded forth from thence all over the City, without the least offence or scandal to any. In the afternoon his Highness came down again into the City, to partake also of the people's civil rejoicings, He having caused a very artificial Mount, beset seemingly with Orange trees, to be raised near the townhouse, divers Youths Satyr-like running tumbling and sporting thereon, while a Fountain thence ran with white and red wine for three or four hours together; and from another place great quantities of manchets (to make up a complete beverage with the wine) were flung among the multitude by one Mr. Sandys, an English Gentleman servant to his Highness. The Prince Elector himself also, and the young Prince, out of a Balcony scattered some gold and silver upon the throng, which caused notable pastime. One condemned to die, was likewise pardoned and released, having taken the advantage of the day, and begged his life for King Charles the second sake, which his Highness immediately granted. In the evening between nine and ten, his Highness went up again, when on a sudden the towers of the Palace, Castle and City, the River and the Hills begin to show their artificial lights and fires, and the young Electoral Prince first himself fired some of his own small ordnance, from a Battery upon the hill behind the garden, which served as a warning to them at Manhlin and Frankindal to be in readiness with theirs, five or six hours' journey distant: Thereupon the Soldiery first in several bodies began their volleys; after which from three other Batteries 30 Canons played in order, and discharged thrice one after another; and those upon the hills could plainly see, and partly hear the exact answers piece for piece, as it were, from the said places, which yielded much pleasure to the observers, but especially by Firework from the top of a Tower in the Palace, in which you might see the Name of Charles II. and then that of the Prince Elector, as with letters of gold in the air; besides the Fireballs, Darts, Rockets, the variety and greatness of Bonfires, and all manner of sportful Representations, till after midnight, all emulating one another who should most testify the largeness of their devotion and affection. And that which gave the more lustre to the celebration of this Festival, was, that though for some days immediately before and after, there fell a great deal of rain here, this whole day proved as serene and fair for such a Jubilee, as heart could wish, and accordingly doubled the joy and satisfaction of all.  
By a letter written to her Majesty of Bohemia of the same date and place, recounting most of the foregoing passages; there is also mention made of a Letter the Prince Elector had received that very day from the Duke of Wittenburg, showing how much he did partake of his highness' joy, and intended Festival upon his majesty's account of Great Britain, being sorry he could not celebrate it on the same day, though he was resolved to set a day apart for all his country, joyfully to solemnise so great a mercy, and so auspicious a restoration. The Prince of Kassaw Dillenberg had the like intent and purpose; the City of worms, Spire, Landaw &c. had celebrated it already; the Press at Heidelburg laboured with learned Speeches, and Poems, the better to perpetuate the remembrance of the day, and the blessed occasion of it; the City had been so full of strangers from Hailbron, Franckfort, Strasburg &c. yea even from parts of Helvetia upon the bruit of what was intended, that it had the resemblance of an Inauguration or coronation time. At Franckfort, the conflux of people and the general joy was so great, that nobody there remembered the like, since her majesty's marriage.   

Paris the 30 of July S. N.  
Saturday last the Queen mother was at Mass in the Church of Notre Dame, from whence she came to the Castle of Vicennes, and dined there with the King. On Monday the Cardinal was very ill of the Gout and Gravel, but by virtue of some remedy which was given him, he voided two stones, since which he hath been pretty well. The King visits him every day with great care, and so doth the Queen Mother; Prayers are made in all Churches for his recovery, which now only is expected, to appoint the day for the Queen's entrance, for which preparations are still made, and with much industry continued. To make the show the more splendid, the Citizens are daily assembled in all the parts of this Town, to exercise and train them up in Arms.  
Some days since the Abbot Fantoni, Envoy Extraordinary from Poland, had audience with the King, whom, in his Master's name, he gave thanks for those good offices his Ambassadors had done concerning the peace with Sweden and Poland, and afterwards Complemented his Majesty touching his Marriage: He had likewise audience given him by the Queen Mother, the young Queen, the Duke of Anjo●, and Cardinal Mazarini, with whom, it is said, he had also a conference touching the present War with the Muscovites.   

From the Castle of Vicennes of the same date.  
The King and Queen are daily here, expecting the day of their entrance at Paris, and the recovery of the Cardinal, for whose present indisposition the whole Court seemeth to be troubled. The young Queen having a mind to divert herself, and to see the fashion of Paris went incognito in Madamoiselle d'Orleance her Coach on Monday last, towards this City; but the noise of her coming being bruited all over the Town, the people ran to meet the coach with such a multitude, that her Majesty was forced to return back. And because she had still a desire of seeing Paris, she went thither yesterday unknown, accompanied by Monsieur the Duke of Aniou, where by the way she saw the Queen Mother at Val de grace their Majesties went together to the Lovure, and thence they visited the Cardinal▪ and so returned to Vicennes. A Courrier is lately dispatched hence for Spain, to carry the news of some evident marks taken notice of, that the Queen is with child.   

Whitehall.  
On Monday last his Majesty was graciously pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood on a young Swedish Nobleman, Baron Conrad Gyllenstierna.  
We have not of late any mntion of Meilitary Affairs, which being at the present a matter of great importance as to the safety of the Kingdom and preservation of the quiet of the people, we shall now be somewhat the more large in giving you an account of the Officers of the Army lately settled in command. And first we shall begin to give you a List of those not formerly mentioned in the Lord Viscount Mordant his Regiment, viz. 

Hartigill Broon Captain  
Tho: Higgins capt.  
Francis Arundel Lieut:  
Philip Ers Ensign  
Thomas Pride Capt:  
James Smith Capt.  
Nath: Harison Capt.  
James Gerrard Lieut:  
Rich: Gwyn Capt.  
Rowlenson Lieut.  
Anthony Hastings Ensign.    
Next we shall acquaint you with some little alteration in Col. Tho: Reads Regiment, where Peter Pike, late Captain Lieut: hath the company that was captain Belchams, who is removed from that command, John Curtis capt: Lieut: Morris Brown Ensign to captain Pike in the place of Robert Read; Francis Everard, Lieutenant to capt. George Everard, William Jones Ensign. We shall now show you how the Regiment of horse that was Unton croaks, is disposed of, viz. Dan Oneale of his majesty's Bedchamber, Colonel of the Regiment: William Basset, Son of Sir Richard Basset, Governor of Cardiff castle, Capt. Lieut. Sir John Stevens Major: Lord Mandevil, eldest Son of the Earl of M●n●hester, Lord Chamberlain of his majesty's household, Capt. of the Troop late Capt. Whetham's, Lord Windsor capt. Nicholas Armerer capt. one of his majesty's Esquires, commands the Troop late capt. Gascoignes._____ Bartue, Second Son of the Earl of Lindsey, Captain of that which was Col. Upcotts Troop. That Regiment that was Col. Tho: Sheffield's, is commanded by the Right honourable Earl of Ossorie, eldest Son of the Marquis of Ormond, and Tho. Sheffeild is his Lieutenant Colonel.  
Having thus far showed you the settlement of the Army, now take an account of some Garrisons, where we shall first begin with  
Earl of Portland Governor of the Isle of Wight, and all the Garrisons and Ports therein.  
Humphrey Turney Captain of Comes Castle.  
Barnaby Burleigh (brother to that valiant Burleigh that was murdered in the Isle of Wight) Governor of Yarmouth in the Isle of Wight.  
William Lord Sandys Governor of Portland, Weymouth, and Sandfoot Castle.  
With these we will take in George Raleigh Captain-Lieutenant to the Right honourable the Earl of S. Albans in the Island of Jersey.  
Though these persons and others entrusted with Commands in the Army, are of greater fidelity then to be suspected in the least of disloyalty, yet too much care cannot be taken for the safety and security of his majesty's Kingdoms; and to this purpose, several Commissions are granted under the Great Seal of England, to persons of known integrity and loyalty, to administer the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy to all the Officers and Soldiers, particularly to Buller, a Member of this present Parliament, and Major of his Highness the Duke of York's Regiment, to see that duty performed by the Officers and Soldiers of the said Regiment; as also another Commission to Jeremiah Smith, to see the same done in Sir John Clobery's Regiment, of which he is Major.  
Commissions under the Great Seal are likewise issued out to the several Muster-masters in Ireland, to administer the said Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance to all the Officers and Soldiers within the Precinct of their Musters.  
Care is likewise taken for settling the Militia in such hands as may be most serviceable to his Majesty, and satisfactory to all that wish the peace of the Nation.  
Letters from Edenbrough of the 26 July, inform us that the English Commissioners there, have sent up such Soldiers as were in the Hospital at Edenbrough, to London, to be further provided for: as likewise, that they have released several Prisoners, some that were driven in by a storm at Kelkowbery, and there taken, belonging to Cap. Patrick Taylor, in the ship called the St. Ann of St. Sebastian, as also above 20 others that were taken by his majesty's frigate called the Greyhound. They give us no other account of the Laird Warriston, than that they have yet no Intelligence of him, though a hundred pound Sterling is assured to any one that shall bring him.  
For the Legal dispatch of Ecclesiastical matters, Dr. Chawworth was by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, elected Vicar-General above a Fortnight since.   

From Hamborough, July 17.  
The Danish forces which at their last muster were found to be about 4000 lie as yet still in their old quarters, and it is not likely that any of them should be disbanded, since it is constantly reported, that more are to be entertained; neither do the Imperial and Brandenburg's forces stir from their quarters, however the Governor of Gottorp hath given his Highness the Duke of Holstein hopes to surrender that place to him very suddenly.   

Advertisement.  
WHereas upon his majesty's happy arrival, by his Majesties and the general approbation, several Officers of the late King (of ever Blessed and Glorious Memory) assembled themselves to testify their Affection in such capacity as their Misfortunes had reduced them to; and having then that honour and happiness to be conducted to their appointed Station by the truly Noble Sir John Stawell, Knight of the Bath, and that neither their Affection nor Loyalty may die, they unanimously invite, all their Fellow Sufferers, whose honour has been equally concerned with them, to enter their names at Mr. Coffins house near the Rose Tavern, that such his majesty's faithful Subjects, may complete the List of Loyalty, lately presented the Lord Marquis of Ormond, by Mr. Richard littel, and that no time may be lost, all commission Officers are desired to repair with their Certificates to the said Mr. Coffins, near the Rose Tavern in Covent-Garden, where in Fourteen days' time they may be Enlisted.

Therefore it is ●esired, That if any p●rson whatsoever shall come to any pl●ce with any such B●ief not having the 〈◊〉 S●●l, that he or they may be apprehended and carried before a Justice of the Peace, to answer to his or their Offen●e, no bail to be taken for them: He that takes them or any of them shall have Twenty shillings for his pain●, b●sides what charges he is out, to be paid at the House of Mr Hugh L●w at the White-Har● in Botolph lane near Billingsgate in London.

In some of the Prints last Monday, there was a mistake of the Act of Poll-money, for the Act of Sewers.   

Venice, July 2.  
They write from Dalmatia, that the Bashaw of Bo●sina having drawn his Forces near Cliss●, to spoil and waste the Country thereabouts, and to burn the Suburbs of that place, had been for five days together in such a manner disordered by the continual playing of Cannons, and the strong sallies in 〈◊〉 by the morlacs out of that Town, that he was forced to 〈◊〉 ●hose parts, and to leave behind him a great number of his men, taking his march towards Schenico, which 〈…〉 threatened to attaque, so soon as those places of 〈…〉 some Forces which he expected from 〈…〉 to him. Those who are retired from 〈…〉 with some recruits of horse and foot, destroying the Cou●t●y with fi●e and sword, and exercising the greatest cruelties up●n the poor people, especial the morlacs. From Corsu it is advertised, that in pursuance of an Order from the Senate, those o● the ordinary Militia of the three Islands had made strong in roads upon the Turks, and that a great party should likewise be sent for Candia, there to serve for soldiers and Pioneers. From Zara we understand, that twelve Turkish Vessels being come to infest the Gulf, the Proveditor Grimanni falling upon them with three galleys and four Brigandines, had taken one of them, and dispersed the rest. A little before the same Proveditor knowing that there were ten galliots of the Turks abroad at Sea, to enter upon the Coast of Dalmatia, and to join with other Vessels thereabouts upon a considerable enterprise, he chased them with his galleass, and three other Gall●es. They write from Candia, that a squadron of the Vene●ian Fleet had taken a Turkish Vessel by Barbary, and besides three other small Vessels laden with Rice and powdered flesh, and a pinnace laden with Ammunition for Canea. Information is brought, that the galleys of Malta, with tho●e of the Popes and of Tuscany, being past by the Isle of Zante, had taken their course towards Candia, to join with the Venetian Armada.   

Dito July 11.  
Letters from Candia intimate, that the courage of the Turks there began to be much abated, in regard the Commonwealth of Venice was now vigorously assisted by the other Christian Princes, viz. their Majesties of Spain and France, &c. which had caused some of the Turkish Officers and soldiers to come over for Candia, relating that there was great scarcity of provision at Canea; wherefore our General Bembo had sent part of his Fleet thither, to hinder that no provision might be brought in there. Our Armada and the City of Candia are as yet well provided with all manner of necessaries. It is likewise reported, that those Turks which lay about Candia, are retreated back to Canea.   

Whitehal.  
His Majesty having June 22. received a congratulatory Letter from the Prince Elector Palatine, which was brought by that worthy Gentleman Christopher Clos of Keyembergh, Captain of his highness' Life guard of Horse; he had audience, and was kindly received by His Majesty, who told him he would take care to render an answer to the Prince Elector Palatine, which was done with such dispatch, that August 2. he set forward on his journey.  
Tho. Sumptner Alderman, and Mr Nicholas Sudell of the Common Council of Preston in Lancashire, being favoured with the company of Sir George Booth, Sir Robert Binglosse, Sir Ralph Ashton. Sir Gilbert Ireland, and Colonel West, presented his Majesty a surrender of a Fee-farm Rent purchased by that Town for the preservation of their Liberties in the late time of distraction. Take their own words.   

To the Kings most Excellent Majesty.  
WE your majesty's most obedient subjects, The Mayor, bailiffs, and Burgesses of your burrow and Town of Preston in Amoundernesse in the County Palatine of Lancaster, do most humbly make this public Representation of our joyful and thankful acknowledgement of that universal happiness and satisfaction which God hath brought us, in the repossession of the Throne by your most excellent Majesty; of which happy revolution, as we cannot but see the present administration of the most eminent righteousness, by reason of the indubitable and inviolably Sacred Title of your Majesty, and the comfortable hopes that are bound up therein, of future security and satisfaction to all good men, through that famous prudence, piety, and sweetness of your most excellent disposition, and Royal spirit, so we do in all humility assure your Majesty, of our unfeigned fidelity and affection to your Sacred Person, Crown, and Government, from our fealty and allegiance, from which no powers or pretence shall withdraw us; and for the support whereof in its full security, splendour, and establishment, we shall freely sacrifice the dearest things, of liberty, life, and fortune.  
We must confess, in those invasions made upon authority in these unhappy times, which have had so deep a reflection upon all the comforts of your Sacred Majesty, we find ourselves involved, in the procurement thereof, by the contribution of our particular sins and failings; and therefore do humbly prostrate ourselves before your Royal Grace, as being well assured, that your people shall not more desirously implore, than your Majesty impart your Princely pardon, and knows how to consider the necessities and temptations of the times that we have lived under. We do therefore humbly pray your most Excellent Majesty to receive this burrow Town and Incorporate Body, into your Royal Favour and Protection, and to be a support and preservation to such just Liberties and privileges as have been granted to them by your Royal Predecessors of blessed memory, and not to suffer any consideration of such fatal accidents of War as have fallen out in this place, or any misreport thereof, to deprive us of that persuasion of our loyalty in your majesty's thoughts, which we shall endeavour to preserve for ever, by the utmost contribution of our all to the service and devotion of your Crown and Government. And whereas through the exigency of the late times▪ your foresaid subjects were enforced for the preservation of this place from being invaded upon in those rights granted to us by your Royal Predecessors, to purchase of those that pretended to have authority to dispose thereof, the Fee-farm Rent of fifteen pounds per an●um due from this Town to your Majesty; We do now in all humility, freely and cheerfully surrender and resign the same into your majesty's hands, with all Title or Right which may any way be claimed or pretended to the same, humbly beseeching your most Excellent Majesty to accept thereof, as also of the whole contents of this our most submissive Congratulation and Address, which as the unanimous cheerful act of each of us, we have caused to be Sealed with the Common Seal of this burrow, and Signed by our Mayor, for and in the name of the whole Gommonalty, the 13 of July, in the twelfth year of your majesty's Reign over England, Scotland, France and Ireland.  
His Majesty was pleased to accept it with expressions of his affections to that Town, and those Gentlemen that came with them.

Thomas Clifford and Thomas Chaff Esqs; Members of Parliament, accompanied by Mr Christofer Maynard, and Mr Gilbert Eveleigh Aldermen of the Borough of Totnes in the County of Devon, presented an Address to his Majesty, with an hundred pieces of Gold in a Gold-wrought Purse. The Address follows:  
To the KING's most Excellent Majesty.  
〈◊〉 humble Address of the Town and Borough of Totnes in the County of Devon.  
Most gracious sovereign,  
THe rejoicings of our hearts, for the eminent appearing of the hand of God for your Majesty in such late miraculous revolutions, by overturning and overturning and overturning, even until he had as it were with his own finger chalked out a path for your majesty's happy Restauration to your father's Throne, cannot be confined within our own breasts. We therefore humbly crave leave to express our Congratulations, to offer the inwardness of our hearts for your majesty's concerns▪ and to profess our ready obedience to your Royal sceptre.  
Though we are of the least among the Tribes, yet will we boast (as we may our antiquity) our entire Loyalty with the chiefest; of which there was lately a clear testimony, when this County, within which we are, appeared for and demanded a Free Parliament (which was also a leading case to the rest of the Kingdom, and was then the likeliest way for your Majesty to acquire your Rights, and we our own privileges) we then were so far engaged as to resist even unto blood, two of our Inhabitants lo●sing their lives in the dispute.  
And as an Evidence of our still constant and affectionate Fidelity, we likewise tender by the hands of our Representatives a free and willing Offering, though but a small one, such an●ther as we presented to your Majesty when you departed from us in the year 1646. when we could no longer protect you, but your prevailing enemies hunted you as a Partridge on the mountains. The general decay of Trade since your majesty's most unfortunate absc●sion from us has disabled us from greater performances at present; but we are now in hope of enlivening and quickening beams from your majesty's gracious return, that may have also influence even on foreign Commerce and traffic, and cause it again to flourish, by which we may be impowered more amply to express our affections: A peace with Spain we suppose will much conduce to the effecting of this.  
Pardon we humbly beseech your Majesty our presumption in mentioning these particulars, we shall forbear all other, and acquiesce with confidence in your majesty's pious proceedings and determinations in the settlement both of Church and State, and that they may tend to the honour of God, your prosperous Reign here, and everlasting glory hereafter, shall ever be the prayer of  
(Sacred SIR) Your most loyal and obedient Subjects.  
This being after a short Speech made by Mr Clifford read to his Majesty, he received it graciously, giving them assurance of his especial care to encourage foreign Commerce, and vouchsafed them the honour of his hand.  
〈…〉 our last, you have this alteration in the Army. 〈…〉 Duke of Buckingham is Colonel of the Regiment 〈…〉 ●olonel Gibbons. Arthur Arscot Capt. Lieutenant, 〈…〉 Washington Lieut. Col. Henry Norwood Major, John 〈◊〉 Capt. Edward Barham Capt. Tho. Paulden Capt. Hampden Capt.  
With these we will join three other Companies of the same Regiment, which being constant to his Excellency, and appearing with him in Scotland, have not had the least change, viz.  
John Waller Capt. Barth. Henderson Lieut. William Knight ensign.  
William Richardson Capt. Joseph Clunn Lieut. William Pearson ensign.  
Ios. Horsley Capt. Phineas Brooke Lieut. Well ensign.  
The Letters from Scotland tell us nothing of Import, save only that Capt. Kiffin late Collector of the Shire of air, is committed Prisoner to Edinburgh Castle.  
Though there hath been great industry used for the apprehending of several persons by the Black Rod, yet they keep themselves so private, that besides those formerly mentioned, none hath yet been taken but Colonel Croxton.  
We have formerly acquainted you, That His Majesty would not touch any after the times formerly mentioned for the Evil, till further notice was given; And now lest any one should put himself to an unnecessary expense in attending that Cure, we are again commanded to tell you, That His Majesty will touch no more till about Michaelmas, of which we shall give you timely Advertisement.
