The report:

Rome, Novemb. 17. The Queen Christina of Swedeland is in a few dayes expected in this City, where more than usual preparation is making for her Reception and Entertainment. The Pope has this day sent ten persons to attend her upon the way about Castel Nuovo, 12 miles distant from this place; where they are to complement her in his Name, and to treat her with much Magnificence: where also Don Gamillo the Popes Brother, with Don Vincenzo and Don Tomaso, intend to meet her, and to conduct her into this City, where she may be expected on Monday or Tuesday next at the farthest, and the Cardinals Barbarini and Rospigliosi, ordered to receive her three miles from the Town with a considerable Train of Coaches.
