It is said they will be embark'd at Dantzick on Board the Transport Ships that carried the Czar with Eighteen thousand Men to Helsinfort, and as that Prince had a considerable Body of Troops before at Weybourg and Ingermiland, he will have in all an Army of Fifty thousand Men, with which he intends to act this Summer in Sweden, and endeavour to approach Stockholm. This hath raised a great Consternation among the Swedes, and we are assured that their Senate have resolved to assemble the four Estates of the Kingdom, in order to deliberate about making a Peace."
