HIs majesty hath been pleased to make sergeant Tho. Twisden a member of this Parliament, one of the Justices of the Court of the King's Bench, a person for his learning and loyalty sufficiently known to the Nation, in consideration whereof his majesty was also graciously pleased to confer upon him the honour of Knighthood.   

Blaye, June 30. 1660.  
The 27 instant, their Majesties at their coming out of Bourdeaux, passing before Boury, a great number of Guns were shot off. About two in the afternoon they arrived here, and were received with the like shooting off our Cannon, both of the Town, and of the Ships that are upon our road, and with great acclamations of the people, who were ravished to see the King and the Queen, who is admired wheresoever she comes. The Duke of St. Simon our governor presented unto them upon the Port the Mayor and the Magistrates, who made a speech to the Princess, the King and the Queen-Mother, giving her in all places where they came, all the honours and respects of the people. The said Duke presented likewise to his Majesty the keys of this place, which the King gave him again presently, with expressions of esteem and trust suitable to his fidelity and service. The Cardinal Mazarin being come an hour after, he was likewise received by our governor upon the Port, and accompanied to the Castle, where he had his lodgings. The Duke did most magnificently entertain the whole Court. The next day about five a clock in the morning, the King with the Cardinal went for Brovage, our governor went with them as far as one of his own houses, where he gave the King the divertisement of hunting, and the Queens took their journey by the way of Jonzac and Xaintes, to go to St. Jean de Angelo, where the King is to meet them.

There is a particular List given unto his majesty of the names of all such as have bought his majesty's Lands, and what they bought, whereby it may fairly be expected that they will be as just to his majesty as those honest Gent. of Hertfordshire have been.   

Hamburgh, June 17.  
The Swede and Pole make themselves ready to fall on the Muscovite, who is much distressed by the incursion of the Tartar, who falling into Russia, gave the Muscovite a great overthrow, sacked and harras'd the Country, and carried away many thousand slaves. On the other side the Cossacks are fallen in, destroying all they meet with. The Muscovites that are hemmed in at Lochwith, it's thought cannot get off without great loss, though the Muscovite drains all his Garrisons to make a body to relieve their Army there. The white Russians have made a confederacy to join with the Pole against their Lord and Emperor of Russia, as soon as the Pole shall march into the Field with a considerable Army. The Polish General Carnetzky hath defeated the Muscovy General Cowingzky, and cut him off 7000 men, who is retreated with the rest toward the Wilda at Lachowitz. There is a discourse here, that the Swede having yet his Fleet that was kept in by Vice-Admiral de Ruyter at liberty, will join with others at Landscrown and Gottenburgh to infest Arch-Angelo and destroy the Muscovite there. The Poles have taken Buckowa, which cost the Muscovites so many years siege, so that Muscovy is now reduced to a very sad condition. They thirst after peace, which if not granted them, they threaten to cut their governor Nassorkin in pieces, and extirpate his whole Generation.   

Whitehall.  
On Wednesday the fourth of July, the Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and capital Burgesses of the corporation of Doncaster, in the County of York, having the honour to be introduced to his Majesty by the Earl of Dunfreeze▪ Lord Castleton, and Sir John Dawney, for a demonstration of their loyalty, duty and affection to his Majesty, humbly presented by the hands of Thomas Bradford their Mayor, a congratulatory Address, wherein they returned all possible thanks to Almighty God, who had been graciously pleased to restore his Majesty to his people, and his people to his majesty's Government, engaging themselves to defend his majesty's sacred person and Government against all opposers, and therewith the Mayor tendered a surrender of a Fee-farm rent of 74 l. 13 s. 11 d. ob per annum, an ancient Flower of the Crown, which being in these times exposed to sale, they had redeemed out of other hands, and now joyfully restored them to his Majesty, both which his Majesty was pleased very graciously to accept of, and returned them thanks, with many particular expressions of affection and favour to that Town. The same day Doctor Byam, a person of great learning and integrity, who attended his sacred Majesty in his troubles, as long as his age did enable him to travel, was this day sworn Chaplain Extraordinary to his Majesty.  
On Thursday his Sacred Majesty, and both Houses of Parliament▪ were entertained by the City of London at Guildhall▪ the unseasonable weather took off much of the solemnity which was intended to be performed, so that his Majesty went into London attended only by his own household guards, which proceeded in this order, Adjutant General Miller rode before at some little distance to make way after whom went Sir William Thr●okmo●n, now Knight-Marshal, his footmen and servants ●raiting ●n either side of him, before six Trumpets, than a Kuttle-Drum, another Class of seven Trumpets, six Maces, the Heralds in rich coats, the pages and footmen, and next his majesty's Coach with six horses, guarded on both sides with his majesty's Royal Band of Pensioners (walking on foot with their pistols in their hand, under the Command of the most noble and val●ant E. of Cleaveland their Captain) the Equires and several of his majesty's servants, next them came the Yeomen of the Guard, than the Lord Chancellor in his Coach▪ the Duke of Buckingham in his, and so all the Nobility in their order.

In London several of the pent●houses and windows were adorned with Tapestry, a lane▪ made by the Liveries of the several Companies, and many Pageants in the streets. In St. Paul's churchyard, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and several others of the City richly accou●ted met his Majesty, and from thence conducted him to Guildhall. The Gentlemen of the Artillery led by the most valiant and learned John Lord Lucas, at Cheapside opened to the right and left▪ and guarded both sides of the way whilst his Majesty passed through. Being come to Guildhall, Carnets were spread from the Hall down to the Council-Chamber for his Majesty to tr●d on. Before dinner Sir William Wild the Recorder made a Speech to his Majesty, declaring the great honour that his Majesty was pleased to bestow on them in deigning formerly to send to them his most gracious Letter and Declaration, and now to add to that kindness, by affording them his Royal presence, &c. At the upper end of the great Hall, the Hosting towards the West was raised three ascents, where was placed a Chair of State, and a rich Canopy, where his Majesty and his two Royal Brothers dined, where his majesty's servants, and several Aldermen and Common Council-men attended.  
The House of Peers, and House of Commons dined at other tables in the great Hall, attended likewise by Aldermen and Common-Council-men; at the sound of the loud music the whole service was set on the Table, and during the whole dinner time they were entertained with variety of music, both instrumental and vocal.  
After dinner was a very costly banquet, and then an interlude, where a rustic was represented, to the content of his Majesty, and the rest of the spectators.  
After this his Majesty retired him into a withdrawing room, where he was pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood on Alderman Reynoldson, Mr. Cleyton, the Chamberlain of London, and Col●nel Player his son.  
On Friday July 6. The Mayor and Citizens of the ancient City of Lincoln, having drawn up an humble Address to his Majesty, together with a resignation of their Fee-farm rent of 81 l. per annum under their Common Seal, did send the same by Robert Marshal Esq and William ●outh Gent. unto Sir Tho. Meres and John Monson Esq who now serve in Parliament for the said City, which was this day delivered.  
After a Speech first made by Sir Tho. Meres unto his Sacred Majesty, in behalf of the City of Lincoln, representing unto his Majesty how oft and how much that City had suffered in the late War, and how loyal and faithful, the Citizens thereof do continue unto his Majesty, and that as the want of his majesty's Government was their decay, so he being peaceably reestablished, they hope to repair their losses under his protection and savour, he delivered his Majesty this Address.

Milan the 16 of June 1660.

Old Aberdeen, July 2. 1660.  
Assoon as the good news came to us of His majesty's restauration, the Masters and members of the King's college in this University of Aberdeen, did testify their Joy by singing of Psalms, ringing of bells, Bonfires, and such other jollities as are usual. But knowing that they were not only tied to his Majesty as their lawful Sovereign King, but also by a nearer relation, as being only Patron of that House, they thought it incumbent on them to give a more full testimony of their real joy and praise to God for bringing home their Patron; and therefore did a second time, being accompanied with the Provost, bailiffs and council of Aberdeen, Sheriff and Commissary, with the Ministers and Students, with many other Gentlemen, go to the great Church, which was of old the Cathedral of Aberdeen, and there reverently hear their own Minister preach a learned Thanksgiving Sermon, with great contentment to all the hearers. After Sermon they all came by way of Procession from the Church to the college, singing Psalms: Then one of the Professors of Divinity made an Oration in the common School. The Magistrates of Aberdeen, with all other persons or quality, were set in the middle of the Court near to the Fountain▪ before a Theatre hung all about with the Hangings which King James the Fourth bestowed upon the college, with other Ornaments and Garlands, and Crowns of flowers of all sorts, the Picture of the King was in the middle, and upon his left hand his Excellency General Monck,, because the Speakers had in their Orations something to speak as to them: The Stairs about, the Windows, and all the Court below, were so full of Spectators, that I thought there had scarcely been so many people in the parts about us. Upon this Theatre were set all the Masters and Students in order in their Gowns. In the first place, the Principal prayed and praised God, and did show the hearers, that there were five young men, Students, to speak in that place one after another; which was accordingly done; and indeed they did it very gravely and reverently. The subject of their Oration was as followeth.  
The first spoke of the great happiness which Scotland enjoyed under Kings, since the days of Fergus the First, until the time of the late troubles. The second spoke of the miseries the Nations suffered by the late King's murder, the present King's removal from His just Rights and Dignities. The third spoke of the praises due to his Excellency for restoring the King to His Kingdoms. The fourth spoke of the great happinesses, and many favours bestowed upon the University by Kings, and of the losses sustained by the interruption of Kingly Government. The fifth had a gratulatory Oration for the King's return. After they had ended, there was a Latin Hymn of about eighty lines, very harmoniously and cheerfully sung, and at the end of every fourth line, Vivat Rex, Carolus vivat.  
It is incredible to know how joyful the people of all ranks were, who were present; the people of this poor Town did testify their unspeakable joy all the night with Bonfires, ringing of Bells, playing on Musical Instruments, and Dancings, yet without the least debauchery of drinkin; such an influence hath His majesty's sobriety upon the people. All things were so carried, as best showed their real duty to His Majesty, and good discipline of this place. Much of the honour of this (though all were active enough) is due to that truly learned Dr. More, Professor of Medicine here.

Westminster, July 5.  
On Monday, sergeant Tyrrel was conducted to the Common Pleas Bar, by sergeant Glanvile and sergeant Littleton; where being come, the Lord Chancellor declared the reasons that induced his Sacred Majesty, to make choice of him to be one of the Justices of that Court; to which when sergeant Tyrrell made a modest reply, speaking of his unfitness amongst so learned men, to undertake so great a charge, &c. the Lord Chancellor caused the Patent to be read; after which the sergeant being in Court, he first took the oath of Supremacy and Allegiance, and then the oath as Justice of that Court; which being ended, the Lord Chancellor went away, leaving the sergeant to act in his place as one of the Justices of the Common Pleas.  
On Tuesday the Lord Chancellor sitting in his majesty's Court of Exchequer, sergeant Turner came to the Bar of that Court. The Lord Chancellor laid down the reasons why his Majesty was pleased to call him to be Baron of his Court of Exchequer, in that he had been unbiased and constant in his judgement, and had Acted nothing prejudicial to his Majesty, or contrary to his trust, &c. After a reply in excuse of himself, his majesty's Patent to constitute him one of the Barons of his majesty's Court of Exchequer, was read, and being afterward sworn in Court, he sat as one of the Barons of the said Court.   

Whitehall, July 7.  
This day His Majesty conferred the place of Lord Almoner on that most Pious and Reverend, Brian, Lord Bishop of Salisbury, who was his majesty's Tutor when he was Prince of Wales.  
His Majesty was pleased to restore that ancient honour of the Dominion and Government of the Isle of Man, to the Right honourable Charles Earl of Derby, which hath been kept from that Noble Family ever since the murder of the Noble and Valiant James Earl of Derby: A Family that for their loyalty and fidelity to the Crown have suffered as deep as any of His Majesty Subjects of this Nation. Great care is also taken by the Earl of Derby for settling the Church-Government both in Doctrine and Discipline, as it hath been formerly accustomed in that Island.  
Also William Lord Craven is made Governor of the Castle of Shrewsbury, in which County his Lordship hath ample Revenues, which till now, without the least pretence or colour of Justice, have been detained from his Lordship, but now are restored to him with all Arrears; and his lordship's Deputy-Governor is Sir William Whitmore Baronet, a Family that have suffered very much for their Loyalty and Allegiance.  
The Lord Charles Howard, one of his majesty's most honourable Privy Council, is also made Governor of Carlisle.  
That Loyal Gentleman, Sir Richard Basset, is made Governor of Cardiff Castle.  
Sir Jordan Crosland, who from the beginning of these Wars, did his Majesty such good service in the North, is now made Governor of Scarborough Castle.  
Col. Tho. Blague, who so long kept the Castle of Wallingford when Governor thereof (being one of the Grooms of his majesty's bedchamber) is now made Governor of Yarmouth and Langher Point.  
Captain William Lennard, a Gentleman of a Noble Family, and tried courage, is made Governor of the Forts of Tilbury and Gravesend.  
Cap. Increased Collins, having a former Patent from his late Majesty, and continuing Loyal, is now confirmed by his Majesty, Governor of Moats Bulwark.  
Major Waterhouse, a person of whose courage and fidelity his Majesty understands so much, is now Deputy-Governor of Garnsey.  
Letters are lately sent down to Scotland to Judge Moseley, and the other English that were Commissioned as Judges there, to forbear to act any further in their former capacity, and to repair into England.  
And now (after all these Castles and Commands bestowed on persons of honour and loyalty) be pleased to take notice, That the Marquess of Ar●gyle, the Marquess of Antrim, Sir Arthur H●sierigg, Sir Henry Vam, are arrested of High Treason, and commi●ted clos● Prisoners to the Tower of London. When Sergeant Char●ock went to apprehend the Marquess of Antrim, he, wa● denied entrance; but the General beforehand, having furnished him with three files ●f Musquetriers, he forced two doors, and found the Marquess si●ting on his bedside, it was about two a clock last Sund●y morning. The Sergeant civilly offered him to rest there all night, where he would give his attendance. The Marquess afterwards went to Bed, but upon consideration rose again, and was conveyed privately to the Tower.  
The Marquess of Argyle was got through the Guard Chamber and Presence, intending (as he saith) to have spoken with His Majesty, but was soon observed, and upon Information, a Warrant was granted to apprehend him. In his passage through Cheapside, he desired he might go and speak with an eminent learn●d Minister at Aldermanburic, Sergeant Charnook told him, That his Lordship might send for that, or any or other Minister to the Tower, but at the present he could not permit him thither. We could tell you many observable particulars of this Marquess, but at present may it suffice to acquaint you, That this was the day whereon formerly his Lordship, in a friendly manner had invited the Laird of Mac-Nachton, to his House to Dinner, and there seized upon him with much less civility, than the Sergeant did his Lordship; but Mac-Nachton seeing his life in danger, found means to escape, and is still alive to receive the reward of his Loyalty and valour, being the last Commander that bore arms for the King in Scotland, and (in the judgement of all parties) a person of as high merit and excellent Conduct, as any Gentleman of that Nation.  
We have not room to insert more particulars of the two Knights, Sir Arthur and Sir Henr●, but must conclude with a desire, That you would consider how of all persons in England, Scotland, and Ireland, these four were the grand Instruments of the four different Interests, and till now could never meet together.  
There are other Prisoners committ●● to the Black-R●d, whose names with more particulars you may have in the next.
