THE QUEEN OF ENGLANDS Declaration at Paris in France.

Concerning Her Royall Consort the King of Great Brittain; Declaring her Resolution touching the Treaty at Newport, and the Par∣liament at Westminster.

Endeared Sir,

VVHereas (with much patience) I have long bedeld the miseries of your distracted Kingdom, and finding

nothing more instrumentall for the setling of a firme and lasting peace, then the blessed Treaty now on foot, I therefore thought requisite, to cast my thoughts thereon, and to make it the chiefest Object of my af∣fections, by indeavouring the propagating thereof in these parts, and cleering all scruples that may arise from the adverse party, which I find to be many. But ker Majesty the Queen of Great Brittain, hath decla∣red the sense of her Royall Breast, touching the pre∣sent Work in dispute between the King and Parlia∣ment, and is pleased to cast a favourable construction thereon; and by reason of the many aspersons laid up∣on her Majesty, representing her as an Enemy to the peace of England, after consultation with her Councel at St. Jermins, she resolved to declare her intentions & determinations to the view of the World, and gave expresse command to her Secretary to draw up a De∣claration to be forthwith printed, the heads whereof are these.

• 1 That Her Majesty desires nothing more then a com∣posure of all differences betweene, Her dread Soveraigne Lord the King, and his two Houses of the Parliament of England assembled at Westminster.
• 2 That Her Majesty shall indeavour the propagating of this present Treaty, and desire a speedy agreement, be∣tween Her Soveraign and His two Houses, that so peace may be established throughout His Realmes and Domini∣ons.
• 3 That Her Majesty shall indeavour the removing of all Obstacles that may retard or hinder this present work in hand; provided, that She may enjoy the liberty of Her Conscience for Her Self and Her Family, according to the Articles of both Kingdoms.

That Her Majesty may be admitted to come for Eng∣land so soon as the Articles of Agreement are signed and that She may be admitted to Her Royall Consort, in honor, freedom, and safety.

These and many other particulars are contained in the said Declaration, which is now extant amongst us, and are very satisfactory.

We hear that Her Majesty hath sent a Letter to the Prince of Wales, dehorting him from an Engagement with the Earl of Warwick, and to endeavour the setling of a peace between the King and Parliament, and it is hoped he will much incline to the said advice and councell.

But here is a rumour, that his Highnesse hath sent Propositions to the States of Holland, purporting His Desires, for the Dutch Fleer to continue betweene the two Navies, to hinder an Engagement, that so the state∣ly Fabrick of his Fathers Shipping may be preserved and the mutuall League and Covenant between the States and the Crowne of England firmly kept and maintained.

In a word, Great are our expectations for the Ty∣dings of peace, whose hearts thirst after unity and con∣cord, which I desire may be communicated to him who remaineth,

Your most obliged and devoted friend, L. VANDIEU.

Paris 26 Octob. 1648.
