Detailed explanation-2: -Polonius returns with Ambassadors Voltemand and Cornelius. They bring news from Norway that the old and ailing king, brother to the slain King Fortinbras, has managed to restrain his nephew, young Fortinbras, from invading Denmark.
Detailed explanation-3: -What new does Voltemand bring from Norway? He reports that Fortinbras is going to back off from attacking Norway; he is going to attack Poland instead. He will, however, need to pass through Denmark at some point.
