Whitefriars. |
Sir John Throgmorton to [Carleton]. The King has restored to
the old Merchant Adventurers their charter, &c., with promise to
grant them any reasonable privileges. The Spanish treaty is not so
forward as reported, but they prevail more here with golden bullets
than they would with bullets of iron, and the Spanish tongue, dress,
&c., are all in fashion. It is hoped that the King is dissimulating
in his favour towards them, in order to subvert some of their
projects. Villiers made Earl of Buckingham, and it is said the
Lord Chancellor will be Earl of Cambridge. Sir Thos. Edmondes is
returning to France, to make peace between the Queen Mother and
the Princes. [Holl. Corresp., Jan. 1.] |

Lord Privy Seal. |

gout. She is said to aim at the regency if the King goes to Scotland.
The Earl of Arundel received the communion on Christmas-day.
His house at Greenwich, left him by the Earl of Northampton, is
burned, which the Papists will think just retribution. Dr. Thornborough made Bp. of Worcester, and the Archbp. of Spalato may be
Dean of Windsor, being well esteemed at Court. Villiers' kinsman,
[Hen.] Beaumont, was to have been Bp. of Worcester, but failed,
from the dislike felt of Snowdon and Baily, very unworthy men,
who are made Bps. of Carlisle and Bangor. |
| Jan. 4. |
9. Edw. Sherburn to the Same. The Ambassadors are to be
paid out of 120,000l. to be borrowed of the City. The Queen

to Scotland that he calls those traitors who oppose it. His object is to
establish the English hierarchy in Scotland, which the Scots dislike.
An organ builder sent there declares he would have been better
used amongst the Turks. The King says he will take Coventry in
his return, and make the puritans there receive the communion on
their knees. His Majesty was pleased at the arrival of the Archbp.
of Spalato, who is well received at Lambeth, and the Bishops
allow him 600l. a year. The King is displeased that the Archduke proceeds not more earnestly in the cause de corona regia, &c.

|

down, in which the Earl of Arundel had household stuffs of great
value. His [Roe's] proposal of opening a trade to Persia is well
received by the Council; as there is a madness in England after
silk rather than cloth, it would be commodious, but there are
objections; as that the Grand Seignior might in anger confiscate
the goods of English merchants, and that as the Persians only trade
for money, it would draw 600,000l. a year out of the realm. Sends
the Archbp. of Spalato's manifesto of the reasons of his withdrawal
from Rome. |

the fault on his wife. |
