To the Kings Most Excellent MAJESTY.  
The humble Petition of the Nobility and Gentry of the Six Counties of North-wales.  
Showeth,  
THat your Petitioners being fully assured of the dutiful affections of their Neighbours and countrymen of the British Nation in the Six Counties aforesaid, do in all humility and thankfulness to God and your Majesty, on behalf of ourselves and them, acknowledge those happy fruits of your majesty's most Gracious Government whereof we have already tasted, in that security and freedom we enjoy in the liberty of our persons and property of our Estates.  
And though we cannot make the least doubt (being convinced thereunto by your majesty's most pious and exemplary practice in matters of Religion) but that your majesty's first and chief care is for the resettlement of the Church upon the Ancient Foundation of Truth and Peace; yet seeing we have suffered so deeply in the contrary practice by some that of late have had he power over us, who under the pretence of propagating the Gospel, have for a long time shut up our Churches, converted the endowman●s of the Church to their own use, and sown the seeds of false Doctrine and Schism among us.  
Your majesty's Petitioners think themselves in duty bound, to represent in all humility this grievance to your Sacred Majesty, and as the best expedient for the reobtaining their form●r happiness in order to their eternal Salvation (without which nothing can be happy to them) to beseech your Majesty, that out of your pious and Princely care, you would be pleased to cause all those good and wholesome Laws for uniformity in Religion, the Government of the Church, and the maintenance of the Clergy, to be put in execution, which have been made since the Reformation, whether by your Royal, Pre●ecessor, Queen Elizabeth, or your Grandfather, and Father of ever happy memory.  
And your Petitioners shall pray, &c. Subscribed by Herbert, H. Herbert, John Salisbury, Thomas Middleton, Thomas Humphrey's, and several other Gentlemen of Quality.   
By Letters from Edinborough of the 21, we have this further account of the solemnity, That the Major General, after his remembrance of h●● Majesty to the Earl of Scaford, fired the great Cannon called Mounce Megg (a Cannon never fired but on extraordinary occasions) after which followed all the Guns in Edinborough Castle, 〈◊〉 citadel, and the ships in the Road. A plentiful largesse was bestowed amongst the soldiery to heighten them in their joye●; about fifteen hundred bonfires were ma●e on Arthurs Seat, one or forty load of coals, and at the Major general's door one almost as big. After this was variety of fireworks, some burned in the water, other fl●w in the air, two Castles firing one against the other, then several sorts of boxes thrown into the air, and falling in several shapes, which with divers others, gave great content to the spectators  
My Correspondent there did further inform me, that what he written concerning Major Ahernthey, was too greedily taken up by him from ● brisk report that was raised by some ill people, and desires it may be amended in the next P●●nt, which for his and the Readers satisfaction I have done accordingly. As for Major Aberlu, my friend of the Intelligence Office, hath not yet told me where he lives, till which time I must desire that gentleman's pardon.   

Whitehall.  
On Thursday, being the day appointed for the Thanksgiving for his sacred majesty's restauration in his majesty's passage ●●●ween the Guard-chamber, and his closet, stood a person nee● up 〈◊〉 will w●●h a drawn sword under his cloak, which was not 〈…〉 discover●; 〈…〉 M●jesty passing 〈…〉 George 〈◊〉 Se●jeant at A●●s, casting ●is eye about for the security of his M●jesties 〈◊〉, di●●overed the 〈…〉 Sword, and thereupon presently with his Mace seized 〈◊〉 the person ●ook from 〈◊〉 the said naked sword, and upon view found the s●m● to be a 〈◊〉 sword back ●ilted, ●●●ked half way down from the point, a weapon ●it 〈◊〉 a 〈…〉, but by the care and p●●denc● of the 〈◊〉, his majesty's 〈…〉 mischief was prevented, the person secured, and his Maj●●●●●● 〈…〉 by a Right honourable the Earl of Pemoroke, and the party remains under examination.

On Saturday his Majesty, with their Royal Highnesses his Brothers, his Excellency, with divers of the Nobility and Gentry, were highly entertained at Roehampton.   

From his excellency's Quarters at the cockpit.  
On Monday his Excellency granted a Commission to Major Richard Fincher, to be Major to Col. Nortons' Regiment at Portsmouth. Also a Commission to Captain Potts, son to Sir John Potts, to be a Captain in the same Regiment.

He hath likewise given a Commission to Sir Chichester Wrey, to be Major of that Regiment, to Sir Francis Vincent Baronet, Sir Thomas Stukley, James Muldiford, and_____ Sherrard, to be Captains in the same Regiment.  
On Friday his Excellency sat in the House of Commons, and took his leave of them, having such Honours conferred on him by his Majesty, as puts him in an higher capacity.  
Major Abr. Holmes, Timothy Clare, Nicholas Lockyer, R. Jones, Anth. Spinach, and_____ Gregory Captains, Commissary Everard, Lievt. Hendly, lieutenant Goff, and one Corporal Brown, formerly committed to the custody of the Marshal General, and being no Officers in this present Army, were on Saturday by his excellency's Order discharged of their Imprisonment, upon giving security to be true and loyal Subjects to our sovereign Lord the King, and not to disturb the public peace of his majesty's kingdoms.   

London.  
The Artillery Company meeting on Tuesday the 26 of June, 1660. at a general Court then held in the Artillery garden did unanimously make choice of his Highness the Duke of York to be their Commander in chief, and made choice of twelve of the Court of A●sistants, to acquaint his Highness the ewith, and desire his acceptance. On Saturday the 30th of June, the Lord Lucas, Sir John Robinson, lieutenant of the Tower, their Deputy President, with Col. Shepherd, and others of the Assistants accordingly, went to Whitehall, to attend his Highness, and being commanded by him to come into his Bed cha●●●●, the L. Lucas acquainted the Duke that these Gentlemen of the Artillery Company were come to tender their services unto his Highness, and to acquaint him what they had done in reference to his Election to be their Commander in chief; then Col Shepherd was desired to declare the mind of the Company, which he did in these words following:  
May it please your Highness,  
WE are commanded by the Artillery Company to acquaint you, that at our General Court your Highness was with one heart and one hand freely chosen to be our Commander in chief; but we durst not have so presumed, had we not known that your Highness was a Lover of Arms in general, and that in the year 1641. You manifested so much love to that Company in particular, that you honoured us so far, as to enter yourself to be a member of it; and it being the ancient custom of our Company still to have liberty to make choice of one of the members of it to be our Commander, we do humbly pray your Highness will pardon our boldness, and be pleased to own us as your own Company, and to accept of our earnest request to be our Commander in chief, and we shall be ready to yield obedience to your Highness Commands.  
And humbly pray for the increase of your highness' prosperity and happiness.  
Upon which motion his Highness did very lovingly accept of it, and them, and promised they should still continue their ancient privileges and customs, and he would be ready to do what he could for them: Then he asked what number they might be; it was answered, about four hundred or five hundred, and that they hoped they should be above three hundred in Arms on Thursday next to attend him, and if they were commanded, should be ready to wait upon him that very day at Whitehall; and when the Company was drawn up, they should deliver unto him their leading st●ff, according to custom: To which he replied, He would accept of it, and returned them hearty thanks.  
On Friday the 29th, a Committee of Aldermen and Common-Council went to invite the Lords of his majesty's Privy-Council to dinner with them at Guildhall, July 5. the day appointed by his Majesty, which they were pleased to accept of: They likewise made a particular invitation to the Lord Chancellor, and several other persons of honour, which they were pleased to accept. His Sacred Majesty in consideration of the eminent services and constant loyalty of Sir John Robinson Knight and Baronet, Alderman of London, made him lieutenant of the Tower, which on Friday he took possession of.  
To morrow Doctor Reynolds is to preach before his Majesty in his chapel at Whitehall.   

Venice, June 5. 1660.  
We have received a confirmation of the taking of the Castle of Schiatto, by Gen. Morosini, who hath given leave to 300 Turks, that were there in Garrison, to go out with their Families, and gave to the Aga that commanded them, a Vessel to transport himself to the next Continent. After which exploit he went to the Isle of Cerigo with his Army. M. Marco B●mb●, General of Candia, hath sent word hither, that the Turks having drawn their Forces within a Pistol shot off the outworks of the Metropolitan City of that Island, they found there such resistance, that they were forced to retire with great precipitation and loss of men: And that they were expecting with great impatience the supplies of the Christian Princes, to recruit their soldiers, above 900 of theirs being lately dead of several diseases.   

St. John de Laz, June 21. 1660.  
The 12 instant, the Count of Fuenseldagne, Extraordinary ambassador of Spain, having been met at Aurogna by the Marshal de Cl●remb●ut and M. de Chabenas, Bonnevil Introductor of the ambassadors, who went to fetch him with the King's Coaches, followed by the Coaches of all the Lords of the Court, made his entrance into this Town with a magnificent Retinue, as you have heard already. He was conducted to the Lodgings prepared for him, and presently after v●sited by the Duke of Crequi, in the name of the King; by M. de St. Ange for the Queen Mother, by the Marquis of H●utefort for the Queen, by the Count of Va●llac for Monsieur the King's Brother, and by the Abbot of Par●bere for the Cardinal Mazarin. Then the Count of Armagnac, great master of the Horse, with the said M. de Bonnevil, went to fetch him with the King's Coaches and brought him to his audience. That night the Cardinal M●zarin feasted him at Supper, and the King gave him the pleasure of a Spanish Comedy. The 13. the two Queens made their Devotions at the Church of the 〈◊〉. The same day Cardinal Mazarin met again with Don Lewis d' Aro at the Isle of the Conference. The 14. then Majesties went to take the air upon the Seaside, and the 15 the whole Court went away from hence for Bayonne.   

Bayonne, June 22. 1660.  
The 15 instant, the Queen made her entrance here with all 〈…〉. The King, Monsieur his Brother and the Queen Mother came first into this C●ty. The Princess arrived here in a very rich Coach, being accompanied by t●e Princess Palatin●, and the Duchess of N●v●illes. There w●nt before her 〈◊〉, all the other Coaches for her household, with six Trumpets of the Kings, four of the Chamber, and two others, at the head of the Gensd ' Arms and the Light Horsemen. The King's lifeguard was about her Coach, and the Queen mother's Guards, and the Company of Musketeers on Horse back were at the Rear. When she came to a Triumphant Arch erected out of the Gates, with a rich Canopy of red Damask spread with Golden Flowers de Luce, she alighted, and ascended the Throne prepared there, where being under the Canopy, with the Crown on her Head, the Duke of Espernon, governor of this Province, who was come hither purposely to receive her Majesty in this first City both of his Governmenment and of the Kingdom, presented to her the Officers of the Senechal and the Jurat●, who made their Speeches to her Majesty; which done, he presented to her Majesty, in a Bison, the keys of the City. Then coming down from her Throne, she was conducted by four Consuls under another Canopy of Cloth of Gold and Silver to her Coach. She continued her Journey, two Ushers of the Chambers going before her with the Maces, the four Consuls carrying the Canopy, and all the Corporations of this City in their Formalities; At the sounding of the Trumpets her Majesty came into the Town, through the streets hung with rich Hangings, and strewed wi●h Flowers, and went to the Cathedral Church, the Avenues whereof were lined by two Files of the Company of the 100 Swissers. Her Majesty went in under the Canopy, and was received by our Bishop and his Clergy with his usual Ceremonies, who conducted her to the great Altar, where the Te Deum was sung.  
From thence her Majesty went to the King's Lodgings through some streets richly adorned, and lined with M●squ●●ce●es, Gen●d●rms, and Light-Horsemen. At night the Ceremony was ended by Bonfires lighted everywhere, with an infinite number of Lights at the Windows, continual shooting of the Canons, and the Inhabitants Muskets, by the reiterated acclamations of the people high and low, and by all other tokens of an extraordinary joy, befitting the first City of the Kingdom that had the honour to receive a Princess, to whom the Nation is engaged for its tranquillity. The next day their Majesties went to Mass to the same Church; and having again received the compliments of our Consuls, they went that night to Aqs. The Count de Fuenseldagn hath been feasted at B●dache by Marshal Duke de Grammont, with his ordinary sumptuoushess and neatness; which hath given great satisfaction to the said ambassador, who could not but admire the beauty and richness of that House, where nothing is wanting that can contribute to the ornament of a House of pleasure.   

Amsterdam, June 24. 1660.  
The 21 instant, the Royal Princess having been entertained with rich Presents by the Chamber of the East-India Company, went away from hence towards Harlem. The affairs of the Prince her Son go on very well in our Provinces, the States of Zealand having appointed Commissioners to draw a List of the charges and places formerly possessed by his Predecessors, and settle all things again as they were in 1651.   

Mont de Marsan, June 22. 1660.  
Their majesty's being come from Bayonne to Aqs, came on the 10 to B●zas, and the next day arrived here. This Town was prepared to receive them with a greater solemnity than was performed, because the King would not suffer it, having been pleased to accept of our respects, expressed to their Majesties by the speeches of the Corporations of Justice, and of the Town, and of our affection test●fied unto them by the great and joyful acclamations of all ou● people. The 20. their Majesties went from hence for Bordeaux.   

Narbone 25 June 1660.  
The 21 instant about three a clock in the morning there was a great Earthquake here, which did much affright us. We hear that the like happened at the same time at Bourdeaux, Montpellier, Beziers and other places. Mr. de Merenville hath given order for drawing, with all possible diligence out of Roses and Cap de quires, all the Artillery and Amunitions that were therein: The Spaniards being already arrived to the Port of the said Roses, with all things necessary to take possession of it.   

Naples, June ●. 1660.  
Mr. Elpidio Beneditti, Cardinal Mazarines' Agent, is gone from hence to Rome, being very well satisfied with the viceroy, who presented him six brave Horses. The occasion of his voyage was for the re-establishment of the Prince of Monaco into all the Lands belonging to him in this kingdom, according to the Treaty of Peace. Besides the 2000 Italians, and 1000 Germans, lately sent from hence into Spain, with abundance of Ammunitions and Provisions: The Forces that are in the Milanez, being 5000. Foot, and 2000 Horse, are to be transported also thither in the Galleys of this kingdom, to be employed against Portugal. Cardinal Filomarini's goods have been seized on.   

Rome, June 7. 1660.  
The Cardinal Maldachini, formerly fallen into the Pope's disgrace, hath been recalled home by the mediation of Cardinal Antonio. But the Pope having chidden him very bitterly, when he went to kiss his Toe, and make his submissions unto him; the Cardinal took it so much to heart, and was so highly displeased at it, that he hath since withdrawn himself again from Rome.   

Madrid, June 3. 1660.  
The Marquis of Manzera, ordinary ambassador of the republic of Venice in this Court, hath been recalled, and is to discharge the same Fu●ction in the Court of France. The Spaniards are very much incensed at the late invasion made by the Portuguez upon the Spanish Dominions, 〈◊〉 it is reported, that for to be revenged of it, they are resolved to make incursions into Portugal, and to make there as great havoc as they can, for which end, orders have been given to fall on that kingdom on all sides. The Marquis of Vianes, governor of Galicia, doth march that way with 8000 Foot, and 800 Horse; and the governor of Camara marcheth another way with his Forces. We hear that those of Lisbon are very much disgusted at the Queen of Portugal, and that the Council of the Chamber hath taken from her the management of the Affairs.   

Turin, June 19 1660.  
The two Regiments of Foot that are sent to the supply of the Venetians, were shipped away eight days since, upon the Po, but the Horse are not gone yet. The governor of Milan hath demanded leave to raise some new Forces in Savoy. Two French Pirates bearing the Flag of Savoy, have lately seized upon a Grecian Vessel coming from Algiers to Marseille, which is intended here to be restored with all its lading. The King of France hath desired that his Subjects should pay no Toll at Villefranche, which not being granted, it hath caused some distaste; and we hear, that what comes from Dauphi● into Savoy, is seized there.   

Riga in Lifland, 31 May 1660.  
The News being come hither how Vice Admiral Ruyter had seized on to Swedish ships about Copenhagen; our governor hath likewise made an Imbargo upon all the ships and goods belonging here to the Dutch, and doth threaten a Confiscation of them, unless the Peace be suddenly concluded.   

Dantzick 12 June 1660.  
All things are preparing for the diet which is to be held at Warsow, about the latter end of this month; but it is reported that the Nobility will not come thither, till after the King of Poland hath given them satisfaction upon their demands. The Great Duke of Moscovy is so much alarmed by the peace concluded between Sueden and Poland, that he hath sent an ambassador to the King of Poland, to make some Propositions to him, much more advantageous than the former, with order to repair to Warsow afore the opening of the diet, where the States, after they have ended the business of the Ratification of peace, are particularly to take into consideration how to expel the Moscovites out of Lithuania, it being resolved to give the chief command of all the Forces to be employed against them, unto General Czarnesky, and the Lieutenantship to the Waywode Sapiha. The Count Koningsmarck hath shipped away part of his Retinue for Lubeck, whither he is to go as soon as the news comes of the restauration of the Duke of Curland into his dominions.   

Wismar, 15 June 1660.  
Since the conclusion of the Peace between the Kings of Sueden and Denmark, we enjoy here a perfect tranquillity, although the Imperial forces be not yet removed from Macklenburgh and Pomerania, their Officers keeping such an exact Discipline among them, that the Country is no way annoyed by them. A Swedish ship riding before Warnemunde to receive the Toll of all the ships coming into Rostock and going out from thence, was lately fired by a Thunderbolt that fell upon her: All the soldiers that were aboard her were consumed by the fire.   

Collen 22 June 1660.  
The 12 instant the young Prince, of whom the Duchess of Newburgh was brought to bed two days before, was Christened at Duss●ldorp with great Ceremonies. The differences betwixt the City of Munster and the Bishop are so far from an accommodation, that at present both the parties have no other thoughts but to put themselves in posture to right themselves by the way of Arms. That Prelate who hopeth to have assistance from several Princes of the Empire, being resolved not to abate any thing of his pretensions, and the City being resolved to venture all for the preservation of their Privile●ges.

Whosoever finds him may acquaint any at Whitehal, for the Dog was better known at Court, than those who stole him. Will they never leave robbing His Majesty? must He not keep a Dog? This dog's place (though better than some imagine) is the only place which nobody offers to beg.

From Innerness, June 16.  
I have as I acquainted you in my last, made inquiry into the business of Capt. Roll, which was contradicted in some late Pamphlets, but upon discourse with Sir James Smith and Mr. Calmady. I find that the said Capt. Roll was seized for speaking words, and that Mr. Calmady giving too much credit to him that brought the note, did in haste sign it.

On Monday last Colonel Sir John Robinson, Alderman of London, and a Member of this Parliament, was by his Majesty made Lieutenant of the Tower of London, an action most acceptable not only to the City and Parliament, but indeed to the whole Nation; the very prisoners themselves being glad of his company.  
The kingdom having for a long time, by reason of his majesty's absence, been troubled with the Evil, great numbers have lately flocked for Cure. His Sacred Majesty on Monday last touched 250 in the banqueting House, amongst whom, when his Majesty was delivering the Gold, one shuffled himself in, out of an hope of profit, which had not been stroak'd; but his Majesty presently discovered him, saying, This man hath not yet been touched. His Majesty hath for the future appointed every Friday for the Cure, at which time 200. and no more are to be presented to him, who are first to repair to Mr. Knight, His majesty's chirurgeon, living at the Cross-Guns in Russel street, Covent-Garden, over against the Rose Tavern, for their Tickets.
