Hour's Stay his Majesty and the Prince Pro-
ceeded to Grypsholm , where they were to hunt
Yesterday and To-Day, and To-Morrow it is
said they will go on to Kongsoher . As by

indisposed, his Audience of her Majesty was
put off till this Evening.

to be cold and rainy the Queen removed on
the 30th past from Carlberg to the Palace here,
where the Court will continue during the Ap-
proaching Winter. The King came back hi-
ther the 31st past in the Evening having

here the 7th at Noon, and went the next
Day to the Escurial , We have Advice, that
great Bodies of Troops from divers Parts of

ther Towns in that Neighbourhood. All the
Forces appointed for this new Expedition,
make together much the same Number that
was sent upon that against Sicily in the Year

in that Service is Ordered upon this, but the
General Officers are for the most pars the same.

Galley Slaves who had been employed to bury
the dead, had all perished; that 200 more
Galley Slaves were ordered to clear the Streets
and Houses of the dead, that they had 8 Carts
for that Service, and that the Consuls with
other Officers of the Town were obliged to
March on Horseback at the Head of those
