<P>OUR la&s;t Advices from <HI>Poland</HI> &s;ay, That the new King's Affairs go on with all the &s;ucce&s;s that can be de&s;ired; and that his Maje&s;ty, by the Advice of his be&s;t Coun&s;ellors, was re&s;olved to go to <HI>Lemberg,</HI> to re|ceive the Homage of the <HI>Poli&s;h</HI> Army in the Neighbourhood of that place, before he go to <HI>War&s;aw.</HI> In the mean time 300000 Florins, rai|&s;ed by a certain Impo&s;t &s;ince the late King's death, is ready here to be di&s;po&s;ed of as his Maje&s;ty &s;hall think fit. The Prince of <HI>Conti</HI> hath not yet dar'd to go to <HI>Ma|rienburg,</HI> nor to &s;tay one Night a&s;hoar, but keeps for the mo&s;t part on board. <HI>Craici Coronni,</HI> the chief of his Party in the Neighbourhood, hath not as yet got above 400 <HI>Poles</HI> together at <HI>Oliva</HI> for <HI>Conti</HI>'s Service: And the Ca&s;tellan <HI>Bidgouski Nieme|nouski,</HI> having come &s;ome days ago to &s;alute the Prince of <HI>Conti,</HI> in a very reverend manner, he thought him&s;elf not kindly enough receiv'd, and thereupon rode im|mediatly away, with 40 of his Retinue; whereof the Prince having ask'd the rea|&s;on, the Cardinal told him, That the <HI>Poles</HI> lov'd to be complimented. Many others have al&s;o de&s;erted him, becau&s;e they have been di&s;appointed of their Money, in which they reckon'd to have wallowed. It's now &s;aid, that the Princes Creatures de&s;ign to go to <HI>Lithuania,</HI> to try their fortune there, but with as little appearance of &s;ucce&s;s as they have had in <HI>Pru&s;&s;ia.</HI> Our Senate have now 4000 Soldiers on Foot, be&s;ide 6 Companies of Burghers, who keep Guard day and night.</P>
