Stockholm, June 24. O.S. Preliminary articles of peace
between Sweden and Russia . . . [2 columns report] The 20th
the states having met to take these preliminaries into
consideration, they approved of the same, and in consequence
thereof, the same day at noon peace was proclaimed in all
the publick places of this town, by sound of trumpet, and
with other usual formalities. Yesterday, the 23d instant,
the four orders of the Diet having met, at the Great Hall in
the castle, and held there a plenum plenorum, they
unanimously elected the Duke Administrator of Holstein,
Bishop of Lubeck, to be successor to the crown: Which was
likewise proclaimed to the people here by sound of trumpets,
and other ceremonies usual on such occasions. The joy which
two such happy events gave here, was a little allay'd by
inward commotions, occasion'd by the insurrection of the
Delicarlians . . . [24 lines] The Delicarlians in a manner
agreed to this [negotiated terms]; but as by their motions
and whisperings they gave room to think that they
entertained other thoughts, an order was published by 3
o'clock in the afternoon, by beat of drum, requiring them to
leave the town by five, and that as many as were found here
at that time, should be treated as rebels. . .
