The Proceed of the King of Denmark Against the English, and a Message from the English to the Governor of Elsinore.  
Honoured Sir,  
ON Thursday the 9 of September, we set sail to proceed on our design for the Sound, and came to an anchor the 20 following, betwixt 6 and 7 at night, two leagues short of Elsinore Castle, we sent the Greyhound up before us with letters to the Governor of Elsinore, and the Admiral which road near the Castle, that they might acquaint the King of our approach, and to what purpose: with another letter to the Merchants, and Masters of the English ships at Copenhagen, to make their address to his Majesty, for their more speedy procurement of their ships, which were 22 in number, all shut up within the Booms at Coppenhagen; but the Greyhound was stopped a league short of the Castle, next morning Captain Ball went up with his boat, and delivered his letters; but while he was gone, the Dutch came and seized his man which kept his boat, and cast him overboard, and carried her away: but the Governor of the castle made them deliver his boat again; we left no means unattempted to get those ships out; for we sent another letter to the Merchants to Petition the King, and a messenger of ours likewise to him, but all proved fruitless, for he would not be seen, but sent two Lords to Elsinore, which I conceive was under a colour; so than was Capt. adam's and another twice sent, but could effect nothing, for they instead of answering our demands; demanded of us, why their Ambassadors had not audience in England, and that they expected ●ur Ambassadors from us, and whether we had any letters from the State to their King, and why we so boldly came so near his Majesty's hope and Castle, upon their streams, without three week's warning, all which being impertinent to our business, we urged for a positive answer, and the 26 we received a letter from the King, intimating, that he would secure them for the Merchants as carefully as he had done, and was resolved not to deliver them to us.  
The Englishmen belonging to those ships, when they saw no hopes of their ships releasement, let them, and came away to us; so the 27 we left the Sound, to return to give an account of our proceed past, but by the way God was pleased to make us partakers of a sad accident, which happened Thursday the last of September, about 3 of the clock in the morning; the Antelope, commanded by Capt. Ball, ran ashore on the coast of Jutland, and by reason she carried the light, we followed so near the shore, that it was a wonderful providenceany of us escaped, but blessed be God, we all got off, except the said Antelope which is sunk, but all her men saved, so had that ship likewise, had they steered the course that honest Captain Ball shaped them: soon after we fell among the Dutch Fishers on the Dogger bank, and have taken 16 sail together, with a man of war, carrying 22 guns, with little loss.  
A Letter from Paris.  
SIR,  
THe 15th of this instant October thus, his Majejesties' answer made to the Colonels and Officers mentioned in our last, who were gone from hence as Commissioners, the substance whereof was, that his Majesty having resolved to go to one Province of his Kingdom where it was requisite; yet upon the humble addresses of his said City he had condescended to their request for returning to his good City of Paris, which he had appointed to be the monday following.  
Mademoiselle had order to quit her lodgings in the Lovure, which were made ready for the Duke d' Anjou. Crussels Governor of the Bastile delivered up his keys and charge to an exempt de guards sent thither by the King for that end. The King of Scots hath been complemented by the French Court. The Lord Digby is made Governor of the said Bastile of Paris.  
The 19 the Parliament being sat the Duke of Orleans, acquainted the house, that he had received a letter from the Duke d' Anvilie, intimating that his Majesty did purpose to be in Paris the monday following; whereupon it was ordered, that most humble thanks should be returned to his Majesty, but withal to entreat that he would be pleased to bring with him an Amnistia in a due form, and confirmed by this Parliament. The same day in the afternoon, returned the said Colonels and other Officers from St. Germane, and with them came also the Marshal de Hospital, late Governor of Paris, with Monsieur Le Fibure, late Provost of Merchants, and altogether met in the evening at the Town house, where, in the full Assembly there was read the King's Letter concerning his Majesty's coming to Paris, as also the dismissing of the Guards that were kept at the City gates; which was accordingly executed on the twentieth.  
The 20 the several Precedents and Counsellors of the Parliament, all except eight or nine, received express order from the King, to repair to the King at the Lovure upon the 22, where his Majesty would be in his seat of Justice. The Duke of Guise is also gone to the Court, having made a long speech to the King in protestation of his service, which hath fallen out against all expression. The 21 the Duke de Anvil came from the Court, and went to the Duke of Orleans, acquinting him that it was his Majesty's pleasure that he should go to Limours, and withal to sign a dissertion from the Prince of Conde, for having more to do with him or his party; which if he refuse, to departed the City in 24 hours; ●nd in default thereof, that his Majesty would send a Regiment of the Guards to force him to obey that order: his Highness absolutely refused to sign any thing against the Prince, choosing rather to accept the second, and so departed that afternoon, and went with a great number of followers to his house at Limours: there went our with him, the D, of Beaufort, Rohan, lafoy Rochefaveant, with many other persons of great rank, who were all commanded to departed the City.  
The same day (21) the King came to the City about 8 of the clock in the evening, where he was received with great joy and acclamations of the people, with ringing of bells and Bonfires, as is usually accustomed. The 22 all things were made ready in the the Lovure for the sitting of the King in that Gallery called of the Pictures, the Parliament of Paris, except some nine Members, came up one pair of stairs, and that of Pothoise another; the King sat there but little time, and spoke less: only four remarkable things were there enacted. First, the Amnistia or Pardon, than the excluding some Members from sitting; thirdly, that the Princes of Conde, Conti, and ot●ers of their party to appear within three certain Law, or fixed days, as also to lay down Arms, and bring in his Army to his Majesty to serve according to his command, and upon default thereof, to be declared Rebel, Traitor, and criminal, la sa Majestatis, enjoining all his loving subjects to apprehend him with his complices, wheresoever they find them: Lastly, a Cessation or annulling of what had been acted by the Parliament of Paris, since the King went from hence, and confirming what had been done by that of Ponthoise, and withal forbidding the Parliament for the future to meddle with any States affairs, either concerning his person, counsel, or treasury, but only to do justice to the public, according as their place required. The Prince of Conde is now at Stenay, and the new Spanish Army at S. Quintin, the Duke of Lorraine also with his Army not far from hence, they intent to join in a body, and to that add the forces under the Duke of Wittenberg, and the Earl of Warsowitz: altogether will make an Army of 30000 fight men. The Regiment of Valois, who was quartered at Charenton, is now gone to Limours for the security of his Royal Highness. The Duke of Anvil is there also, sent from the Court to persuade his said Highness to forsake the Prince and his party, the which as yet he will not do. The prince's army is toward Soissen, Turene betwixt him and Paris, at Stenlis.  
Paris, Octob. 25. 1652.  
His Excellency General Blake, having sent a squadron, of ships to coast the Channel, soon received some opposition from the Hollander, (being 17 in number) who resolved to fight out their passage and freedom, rather than be taken; but after some fiery salutations, and a bloody dispute, the English boarded them, seized upon the Captains, and others, and cast them overboard that were slain; and on the 22 instant brought them into Plymouth Harbour, from whence an Express came to the Council of State, on Sabbath day last, signifying, That God was pleased to honour them with another victory, and that they had taken 17 of the Hollanders, but not without some loss. Divers of these ships were laden with Pitch, Tarr, and Masts, singular commodities for our Naval design; Yet notwithstanding all their losses, Mr, Hans is still somewhat too imperious; for on Thursday last, divers of them made an attempt even up to our English shore near Yarmouth, and were so bold as to land; but the Country receiving the Alarm, immediately risen, and with Fowling-pieces, Clubs, long Bills, and other weapons, fell upon them, forcing them to their Boats faster than they landed, killed 7, and took 5 prisoners, with the loss of one man, and another wounded.
