Maritime and Court News From Holland and London
Late mail from Holland reports ministerial shifts in Brussels with Pettters’s secretary to manage affairs until a successor is named. Plenipotentiaries meet in the Castle to discuss truce delays and Spain’s stance, while Poyntz heads to Paris as others follow. Reports also note ships preparing for voyages, a major fire in Rose Street, a church disruption at the Savoy, robberies in Ludgate Hill and the Strand, and various social notices including marriages, deaths, and public appointments.
