Numb. 35. 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 August 20. to Monday August 27. 1660. Edinburgh, Aug 14. WE are sorry we must begin this week with unwelcome news from Scotland, where the spotted-fever begins to rage in Struther and Falkland; four Troops being quartered there are ordered to remove thence because of the present mortality, there being already diverse both of the Soldiers and Inhabitants dead of that disease. This is all the bad news that Scotland at present can afford, the People there being in deep quiet, and (for aught the wisest can discern) are like so to continue, notwithstanding the pretty tales invented at London concerning Scotland, as some (no question) in Scotland concerning London. Since our last News from the Army, be pleased to take this account of two Regiments belonging to two persons of honour; the first is that Regiment, which formerly belonged to Col. Herbert Morley, and is now commanded by the Right honourable the Earl of Peterborough, whose Capt. Lieutenant is Benjamin Ruddierd, and his Lieutenant Colonel is that Loyal Gentleman Sir John Ogle.

Tho: Drake Ensign Richard Badeley Chirurgeon Jenkin David Quartermaster and Marshal. Richard Basset Capt. of William nest his Company. Gabriel Holmes Lieutenant Luke Thomas Ensign From Argileshire in Scotland, Aug. 13. 1660. Here is very much rejoicing at the Imprisonment of the Marquess of Argile: for though this Country bears his name, there are too many Families which he hath endeavoured to ruin; the woeful experience whereof will be evidenced by the Clandomgals, Clan Leans, Mac Donnals, and Mac Waughtons', besides the unnatural and unhuman usage of many hundred poor souls sent by him into the Island of Jura, where they all perished. Whether he hath practised murder, and taking possession, you will hear ere long: I assure you that thousands are glad of what is done, who, although you yet have not their hands in this Letter, yet neither hands nor hearts will be wanting to preserve his majesty's peace in A●gileshire against all opposers whatsoever. Hull. His majesty having been pleased to Constitute the Lord Belasyse Lord Lieutenant of the East riding in Yorkshire, his Lordship summoned the country to appear before him at Beverley the 13. of this instant August, together with his Deputy-Lieutenants, Justices of the Peace, and chief Constables; where being met, they gave order for the raising the Trained B●n●s, being 3000. men, into three gallant R●giments, Commanded by Sir Francis Boynton, Sir John Hotham, and Mr. Wharton, as Colonels, and Sir Robert Hilliard Commands the Horse. These will all muster (in Bodies) before his Lordship within fifteen days after their Harvest is over; the example whereof will be of great consequence to other Counties, towards the settlement of the Ancient Legal way of Trained Bands for the security of the Kingdom. Saturday August 18. 1660, This afternoon his Royal Highness the Duke of York was pleased to bring with him the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Albemarle, and several other persons of honour, to the house of his Servant Captain Edmond Warcupp in Durham Yard, to accept the entertainment of a Collation. After so many Changes of Officers in several Regiments, you may now take a List of all the Officers in his Excellencies own Regiment, both Horse and Foot, wherein there is no mutation, his Grace having chosen such approved Officers as require no alteration.

Yesterday (August 21.) the Gentlemen of the Artillery-ground for the City of London, having invited their Highnesses the Dukes of York and Gloucester, they were accordingly entertained with the Duke of Buckingham, at Merchant tailor's Hall. Sir John Robinson Lieut. of the Tower of London, leading them thither from St. Paul's Church, where they had a Sermon. His Grace the Duke of Albermarle &c. is by the special favour of His Majesty declared Lord lieutenant of the kingdom of Ireland. His Grace the Duke of Alhemarle hath sent Letters by His majesty's command to the English Commissioners in Scotland to cease any further acting as Commissioners after the 22 of this instant August, the Government of Scotland being to be reduced to its ancient course. His Excellency notwithstanding his constant abode at Court, hath as constant a watch and eye upon his majesty's Army, and therefore taking notice that some Officers are too often absent from their Commands, whereby the wonted discipline of the Army will in time be much impaired, and several incident disorders committed by Soldiers in the absence of their Commanders, hath for prevention thereof sent Orders to the Commissiary General of the Musters to take care that no Troops or Companies be mustered, where two Commission-Officers are not present, who upon examination have not continued at their respective charges; whereof we are commanded to give notice, that no Officer may pretend ignorance. His Excellency hath given express order, that no new men Officers or Soldiers be taken into any Troop or Company, or continued (be they of never so ancient standing) that have not or shall not take the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance to his Majesty; wherein his Excellency is resolved to take strict account, being informed that some new Officers and Soldiers are privately listed who had not taken the said oaths; the several Mustermasters being to pass none but such, whom they are assured have taken the said oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance. From Candia, July 16. The Bashaw Governor of Canea, perceiving the time to draw nigh that a siege would be laid to this place, he hath caused all the arms to be taken away from the Inhabitants, fearing lest they might keep secret Intelligence with the Venetians; H● hath likewise shipped away many little and unserviceable persons. From Montpellier, August 7. This town having received the King's orders for a Thanksgiving day to be held here concerning the happy consummation of his majesty's marriage, the Te Deum was sung in the presence of all the Companies, and the Marquess our goeurnor; who, more particularly to demonstrate his Joy and zeal, having presented himself at night before the citadel, with a number of lighted Torches of White Wax and accompanied by the Magistrates, Consuls and Gentry of this place, with the noise of a great many Drums, Hoboy● and Violins, put fire to an Artificial Firework composed of five Towers, which was burned, upon one of which there was represented, Discord, which was burned by Mars, coming from one side with thunder and lightning, until a Cupid who descended from one of those towers, put likewise fire with a torch to the other side. All which was done with the noise of the great canon from the citadel, and guns discharged by the Garrison-soldiers and citizens ranged in four Battalions. At last he caused at his own charge to be distributed among the people above 2000 medals of gold and silver, on which was the effigies of the King, with other devices touch●ng the marriage, and to the honour of his eminency. He bestowed afterwards another Firework on the Ladies before his house, with a very costly collation, whilst every one of the common sort of people took his share of those fountains of wine t●a● ran at the door of his lodging, and drank healths to their Majesties. In short, the Governor omitted nothing that might render this ceremony most splendid, to which our Consuls likewise contributed what possibly they could devise, making a gallant Cavalcada in their scarlet robes, through all the streets, with a largess of all sorts of sweet meats for the people. ADVERTISEMENTS. A New Post having been settled lately at Amsterdam for England, We are desired to give notice, That the ●ong complaints and great prejudice Merchants sustained by the sl●● Transport of Letters between England and H●●land, engaged one Mr. Vander Heyden of their going round about ●y Antwerp, and that the Hamburgh and Italian●●tters were twice as long upon the way more than was needful. Therefore on the 22. of June last, he began from Amsterdam to bring Letters to London in three or four days, and since from Hamborough in six, and from Italy in eleven days, which before was never practised, to the great satisfaction and contentment of the Merchants (who have already found the advantage of it their Letters being come three or four weeks upon every Tuesday, and the last week upon the Monday) as by a general Certificate signed by many of them it appears; [Those only in the Hagu●, which is much wondered at, showing a dislike of that establishment and endeavouring to hinder it.] And whereas the German and Italian Letters used to lie at Antwerp three or four days before they begun their so tedious passages, he hath taken care that from Amsterdam they go away immediately after receipt; and if the Merchants do a●si●e it, he will engage to send the said Letters twice a week. The said Vander Heyden hath treated with the postmaster General in England, who by his majesty's consent hath agreed to that enterprise. The Pacquet-boat that carries his Letters go●th from Dover to Sluice every Saturday about three a clock in the afternoon, and takes in Passengers, for whom he hath all the convenient accommodation. WE are desired to give notice, that William Hall about seventeen years old, is run away from his Master Major Dennis, and hath taken with him the sum of twenty nine pounds. He is in footman's habit of grey Serge, edged with red, brown hair curled, not very long, and of a pale complexion. If any can give notice of him, they may leave word with Mr. Samuel Mearn His majesty's Bookbinder, in little Britain, and they shall be thankfully rewarded. We have formerly acquainted you how the respective Regiments of the Army in England have been disposed; and now we shall tell you in what hands His Majesty hath entrusted the Garrison of Dunkirk, wherein are four good Regiments, three of Foot, and one of Horse, viz.

Sold by Austin Rice at the Crown in St. Paul's churchyard. On Thursday the 230 this Instant August, Frederick Van Alefeldt, ambassador Extraordinary from His Majesty of D●n●marke, came to London, with a very noble retinue; his Servants in very rich Liveries: Sir Charles Cottrel His Maj●st●es Master of the Ceremonies, with several Coaches of the chief Nobility, went to meet him, and conducted him to Sir Abraham William's House, at the Palace in Westminster. You have heard heretofore how Commissions under the Great Seal were issued forth, impowring several Officers of the Army to administer the oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance to the respective Officers and soldiers of each Regiment: In performance of which duty the said Officers have been very diligent, particularly in His Excellency the Lord general's Regiment of Horse, where Major Johnson and Cap. Symnel showed now as much readiness, as they had formerly Valour, in advancing so daringly to Morpeth in Northumberland, with four Troops, when they prevented Lambert's Party from seizing the Town of Berwick: These two riding from Troop to Troop, found all the Officers and soldiery ●s willing to take the oaths as they to administer, one only Tro●per in the whole Regiment dissenting. The like care was used in administering the said oaths to His excellency's Regiment of Foot, where also but one only soldier dissented. In Col. Hubblethorn's Regiment of Foot only one dissented. In Col. Litcot's but one only. In Col. Read's but one, and in Sir Ralph Knight's Regiment of Horse but one; where we cannot but take notice of the equal care of all these faithful Officers, that in each Regiment there should be but one dissenting; and that the prudence of them all hath been so great, in entertaining soldiers in such distracted times, where there is but one in each Regiment, and not one Officer in any. And you cannot but observe how fair and freely those officers have dealt, that such as had any the least scruple against those most just and legal oaths, had yet liberty (without any force or threats) to express their dissents, and yet after all this sifting and winnowing, there was not seven men in six Regiments but did most cheerfully take the said Oaths, and those six, common soldiers (for officers none) who were Dissenters, were found upon examination to be foreigners, and Roman Catholics. Colonel Charles Fairfax hath likewise returned an account of there diness of all his Officers and soldiers in taking the said Oaths: the manner of the Return (which is the Form used in such cases) was thus, viz. Commissio in Cancellaria pro Sacramentis praestandis Officiariis & militibus sub Regimine Caroli Fairfax Colonelli. return sine dilatione. Sealed and Endorsed C. FAIRFAX. John Rogers. baily. For His majesty's Service. But since we are upon an account of administering the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance, we must not conceal a particular sent us from Cooper in Scotland August 14. where the said Oaths were freely taken by the four Troops of the Lord Viscount Falkland's Regiment in Falkland, and not the least question or scruple made by any, except only one in Major Morgan's Troop, who being absent when the rest took those Oaths, upon his return was informed by his fellow-soldiers soldiers that they had all taken the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and that he was called for. Whereupon he said, I have an hair in my throat, that I cannot swallow, but instantly fell stark mad, and ran roaring and crying up and down; four men could scarce rule him; in which sad condition he continued three days, and then died most miserably. A sufficient caveat for all who heretofore so easily swallowed so many new oaths, to be now punished by scrupling at an hair, though in their most just and undoubted Allegiance. Saturday, Aug. 25. His Excellency to ease the burden and charge of the Nation, this day did dispatch express Orders to the several Regiments of the Army, to take in no more Officers or soldiers in place of any vacant by death or otherwise. And now (after so many conferences and debates by the Lords and Commons in Parliament) it hath pleased God that the Act of indemnity which His Majesty hath so often pressed and called for, is so near perfection, that it's verily believed 'twill suddenly be published to the world in Print. In pursuance whereof that worthy and faithful Sir John Rob●nson, Knight and baronet, His majesty's lieutenant of the Tower of London, received into his custody seven of those who sat as Judges on the life of His late Majesty, viz. colonel Waite, colonel Temple, colonel Robert L●lburn,_____ Smith of Leicestersheir, Esq colonel Henry Martin, Carey, Esq colonel Downes. These seven were committed this evening to the Tower, (where more of the same Order are expected on Monday next) what their fate hereafter will be we cannot sufficiently affirm, but are certain that at present they are in nobler custody than His majesty's best Subjcts when in the same place. London, Printed by John Macock, and Tho. Newcombe, 1660.
