French translation (my own):

Stockholm, le 13 février 1667. ... Le comte Pontus est envoyé avec une suite de 60 à 80 personnes pour rencontrer la reine Christine en Scanie, qui l'on croit commence aujourd'hui son voyage depuis Hambourg. ...

English translation (my own):

Stockholm, February 13, 1667. ... Count Pontus is dispatched with a suite of 60 to 80 people to meet Queen Kristina in Skåne, who is believed to be starting her journey from Hamburg today. ...
