June 22. London.	118. Sir Philip Carteret to Sir Edw. Conway. The Sunday after your [departure], I gave my Lord Duke [of Lenox ?] my petition touching the office of bailiff, who obtained a grant thereof, (fn. 1) and leave for me to kiss the King's hands. Last Sunday Mr. Secretary got the King's signature to our Civil [Government] and I am going this morning to fetch the papers. I think there will be nothing done in the Church government, so press that I may be discharged from further attendance. My Lord Archbishop promised me that he would speak to the King, but I know not what answer he has had. I hope we shall reap a good harvest from the fruit of your labours.
	The news at Court are that the Duke of Au * * *, viceroy of Naples, has made himself King, and has a great army on foot. The Queen having sent an agent to the Pope, the French ambassador at Rome used all means to win this man to discover his mistress's intents, of which failing, he one evening after supper, took him for an airing in a barge on the river, and shipped him to Marseilles, whereupon the Pope imprisoned the French ambassador. The King has received the news by letters, but I am afraid they are too good to be true. [1page, damaged.]
