Said Roo told me that he is well assured of the good intention of the King, his master, and that he hopes to make quick business if the other ambassadors are as willing and as fully authorized as he. There is not so much opposition here to the double toll or custom which the King of Denmark exacts in the Sound from those who frequent the Bailie, as to the toll on the Elbe at Glukstad. Of the first it is said, the King hath incurred expense, and that it is levied only once and of the toll on the Elbe, that it is not reasonable that the aforesaid ;

King, because he hath built a town or. city, should shut up a free river, contrary to the constitutions of the Kingdom. From intercepted letters here, it is understood that Gallas hath instructions to occupy the forts he can take between the Weser and the Rhine, with a view to cut your High Mightinesses off' from Germany. The Spanish ambassador took his leave of the King to day. The Envoy from Morocco left London on Thursday last. The Lord High Admiral of England is very sick the virtuous wish he may recover. ;

Herewith will this end and, after my humble salutations to your High Mightinesses, I pray God High and Mighty Lords, that He may bless your High Mightinesses' deliberations and government. Your Migh Mightinesses' Most obedient servant London, the xxii"" May, 163S. (Signed) Alb. Joachixmi Received, 14"" June, 1638. 1638.
