<P>_CArolus Gu&s;tavus Adolphus, by the Grace of God, King of Swe|den, &amp;c. being inve&s;ted in the Royal Seat of Maje&s;ty, by the free con&s;ent of the Nobility Gentlemen, and Bores, thought it requi&s;ite to congratulate His Highne&s;s the Lord Protector with a Me&s;|&s;age, in confirmation of the Articles of U|nion, agreed upon between the Common|wealth
<PB N="4" REF="3">of England, and the Crown of Sweden: In order whereunto, his Maje&s;ty &s;ent new Letters of Credence to Mon&s;ieur Bonnel his Re&s;ident; and thereupon his Lord&s;hip had Audience by his High|ne&s;s in White-Hall, being attended by Sir Oliver Fleming ma&s;ter of the Ceremonies, and divers other Gentlemen. And after a very grave and learned O|ration, he pre&s;ented his Highne&s;s with the Royal Conde&s;cen&s;ions of his Lord and Ma&s;ter, To con|firm and maintain all things partieularly contained and &s;pecified in the Articles of Union, &amp;c.</P>
<P>After which, the two Deputies from the Duke of Holdenburgh had both Audience by his High|ne&s;s; and then the Secretary from the States of Ve|nice.</P>
<P>Unto who&s;e a&s;&s;i&s;tance, a gallant Fleet is prepa|ring for relief of the Chri&s;tians again&s;t the Turk: Between whom there hath been two great Naval Fights: but in the fir&s;t the Venetians lo&s;t the Gal|ley of Padua, Mon&s;ieur Moricini Captain of the Golf was killed, and his Galley blown up with powder; and the golden Eagle and an Engli&s;h Bot|tom were burnt; but after three dayes vigorous and lamentable engagement the Venetians becau&s;e Vi|ctors.</P>

<P>In which memorable and Chri&s;tian Di&s;pute, the Turks lo&s;t 20 Galleys, five Mahones, and &s;ix men of war; and the re&s;t were forced into the I&s;le of S<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">io, where the Venetians have had a &s;econd Victory, and again &s;unk &s;ix of their Gallies, and taken &s;ix &s;hips, and three Mahones, with the lo&s;s of three of the Venetian Gallies.</P>
<P>By an Expre&s;s from Hainant the 20 of July it is certified, That the King of Scots being gone from Peron towards the Spaw, was met within a League of Peron by by the mar&s;hal Thurenne, and de la F<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">rte, who conducted him as far as the Enemies Countrey; whence they returned with the Duke of York, who is now made Lieutenant Generali&s;&s;imo.

<HEAD>An Ab&s;tract from the Navy.</HEAD>
<P>ON the 8 of this in&s;tant July, divers of the Eng|li&s;h Frigats having been upon the Coa&s;t of Dunkirk, to convoy a fleet of Merchant-men; up|on their return, they e&s;pyed the King of Scots fleet, unto whom they gave chace; and at la&s;t com|within &s;hot, &s;aluted them with &s;everal broad &s;ides; Vice-admiral Banni&s;ter being in the Eagle, an&s;werd them again; but after a &s;harp di&s;pute, finding the Arguments too high to di&s;pen&s;e withall from the mouthes of the Engli&s;h Canon, he tacked about, for Calis, and got under the command of the Roy|all Fort, where he pre&s;ently hung forth a Flag of defiance; which Captain Benjamin Sacheverel per|ceiving, attempted with the Eagle to &s;trand him; but the great Canon from the Fort and Block hou|&s;es played &s;o fa&s;t upon him, that he was con&s;trained to come off by the Leeward, his de&s;ign proving unfea&s;ible. However upon their putting forth to the main Ocean, they e&s;pyed another fleet, which proved French-men, and after 4 or 5 leagues chace, &s;unk one, and took another, without the lo&s;s of one man. We have al&s;o taken their New found land fleet, and divers &s;hips coming from Malaga, which adds far more Tryumphant Victories, when we
<PB N="7" REF="4">fought their great Armado. Yet notwith|&s;tanding, they fortifie the &s;ea Coa&s;t, and &s;ay, that their Victories by Land will &s;oon prove Conque&s;ts by &s;ea: Indeed, the truth of it is, great has been their &s;ucce&s;s &s;ince the making of the Duke of York Lieutenant General; and that upon his approach with|in a League of the Spani&s;h forces before Ar|ras with the whole Army upon the way of Doway, where he intrenched upon a de&s;ign to cut off all provi&s;ions from the enemy; the Prince of Conde at fir&s;t repre&s;ented his Opinion at a Council of Officers, that the enemy being but 14000 the be&s;t way wold be to engage them with hopes of &s;ucce&s;s, but his advice was waved. Then the Duke gave them an alarum, and faced them with his hor&s;e, which the French perceiving, made a &s;ally with &s;ome hor&s;e and foot with &s;uch vigor and re&s;olution, that they routed the
<PB N="8" REF="5">Spaniards at fir&s;t; but the Prince of Conde coming in &s;ea&s;onably rallied them, and for|ced the French into the Town again with &s;ome lo&s;s; in which conflict his Highne&s;s fought half an hour &s;omtimes on hor&s;eback and &s;ometimes on foot, at the head of the Trench, where the valiant Knight de Cre|quy, who commanded the French, had his Arm broken to pieces, and was hardly got|ten off, and &s;everal other Officers and &s;oul|diers were killed and taken.</P>
