April 1560



[April.]	1427. [M. De Glajon to the Duchess of Parma ?]
	By the Cardinal's letters and the report of the writer, V. A. [Votre Altesse?] will be informed of the success of the writer's two voyages into England. On his return from the second he finds that the Cardinal [Granville] is so far from this place that he thinks it well to inform her of the present state of affairs. The Queen delays all further proceedings until the pleasure of the King and V. A. agrees with her own. She promises, however, that during this negotiation nothing shall be innovated on her part, yet from the great preparations which are being made in England, this seems doubtful. Has promised the like to her by the order of the Cardinal. The long delay of the answer occasions him some anxiety, the stipulated period having been exceeded, of which advantage may be taken by their opponents. The Queen is importuned by foreign princes who wish to rouse her into action. Their complaints are founded upon the excesses committed upon the empire. Copy. Fr. Pp. 2.
April 2.	1428. Answer to the French Ambassador's Cavillations.
	M. De Seurre, having in the name of the Bishop of Valence and his own, certified to the Council that they have found diverse things in the Queen's late proclamation prejudicial to the honour of the French King, and having put the same in writing, they are here answered. Reasons are given which warrant the Queen to fear invasion; the probable answers thereto are anticipated and refuted. Also, why the hostility of the house of Guise was noted, and the probable effects of their influence upon the King of France and Queen of Scotland are pointed out. Also, why it was declared that the meaning of the French was to invade England by way of Scotland. The people of this realm cannot without clamour hear that they have another Queen in France. Copy, corrected by Cecil and endd. by him: 2 April 1560. Pp. 12.
[April 11 ?]	1429. The French Ambassador's Cavillations.
	Answer, by Wotton, to certain articles [i.e., those contained in the "declaration made by the Bishop of Valence and the French King's Ambassador to the Queen, upon certain points contained in the proclamation which hath been of late published"]. (fn. 1) Orig., in Wotton's hol. Endd. by Cecil: An answer to the French cavillations, 1560. Pp. 4.
[April 11.]	1430. The French Ambassador's Cavillations.
	Notes by Mason of an intended answer to the cavillations of the French Ambassador, which are here discussed article by article. Orig. Hol. Endd. by Cecil. Pp. 4.
[April 20.]	1431. The French Ambassador's Protestation.
	The protestation of the French King, delivered by his Ambassador in England to the Queen, having been printed and published in France, but altered in certain words and sentences from the original signed by the Ambassador; there is here now printed, word for word, the answer made by the Queen to the said French protestation delivered in Latin, "because of the uncertain knowledge of the French tongue in any natural Englishman." The same was also put into French. She will be glad if the professions of the French shall appear by the treaty now intended in Scotland. Draft, corrected by Cecil. Endd: Copy of the preface in the answer to the French Ambassador's protestation. Pp. 3.
