Dec. 3.	2658. The Prince of Orange's answer to the French King's Ambassador.
	Protests that he has not entered the King's territory with any evil intention, but rather with the desire to do him all the service that he can. The Prince perceives by the Edict published in September that it is endeavoured not merely to constrain the consciences of those of the religion, but also that it is determined to put down all exercise of the same. In all matters relating to conscience he cannot but afford the Protestants what council and succour he is able. If he knew that those of the religion had any other object than the establishment of true religion and liberty of conscience he would give them no assistance, but would do what he could to defeat and destroy them.—Sissone, 3 Dec. 1568.

There was also news at the same time of the defeat by the Duke D'Aumale of 1,500 or 2,000 footmen on the borders of Lorraine.—London. Signed. Add. Endd. Fr. P. 1.
Dec. 8.	2666. Sir Henry Norris to the Queen.
	The Cardinals of Lorraine and Guise incontinent upon the death of the Queen of Spain made overture of the marriage between Madame Margaret and the King Catholic. To this end the Cardinal of Guise is gone into Spain, where he meets the Archduke Charles, who has authority to confirm the leagues made against them of the religion, and renew again the triumvirate of Bayonne. He has also in charge to deal that M. D'Anjou may marry the Queen of Portugal, following therein the advice of the Duke of Alva and the Cardinal Granville; also he is to solicit the King to be a means with her for the Queen of Scots. The Queen Mother has determined to send the Cardinal of Bourbon to the Emperor to advance the marriage between the King her son and his eldest daughter; having likewise to negotiate the like charge that the Cardinal of Guise has in Spain. The Prince of Conde has drawn down again towards Chatelherault; the King's army not being far from him. The Duke of Alva sent word to the King to give the Prince of Conde battle, promising that he would follow the Prince of Orange if he entered France; whereupon the King has sent him a very large commission not only to take necessaries of his country but also to enter his walled towns. The Prince of Orange remained at that time upon the borders of Picardy, but his horsemen rode as far as Compeigne, which greatly amazed those of the Court. The King has gone towards Melun minding to raise a new army. The ban and arriere ban are appointed to assemble at Melun. The 3rd inst. the Prince of Orange presented his army before Rheims. He minds to join with the Duke of Deuxponts, who makes a levy of reiters for the Prince of Conde. A letter sent out of Almain by the Prince's agent has been intercepted, by which the Duke of Deuxponts has 8,000 reiters and forty ensigns of Lansquenets, which are appointed to be in France about the beginning of December. It is accorded by the said agent that the towns and castles appertaining to the House of Guise shall be seized upon and the revenues employed to discharge the pay of the reiters, but the towns belonging to the King shall be put into the hands of the Prince of Conde. Upon these considerations the Duke demands no pay for two months. Some think that the Prince of Orange will quit France, the King having lately promised him that he would use the Emperor's aid and procure his reconciliation with King Philip. The Duke of Alva has continually followed on the tail of the Prince.

Dec. 21.	2682. Second Answer of the Prince of Orange to the French King.
	1. Has received his letter sent by Colonel Schomberg, and thanks him for having taken his offer in good part. Has no wish to intrude himself into the King's affairs, nor to demand an account of his treatment of his subjects, but as he has not been able to understand from his last letter what is his intention as to granting free exercise of religion, he begs that the King will enlighten him on this point. Where the King desires that he shall immediately withdraw his army from his realm, he waits for his declaration of his intention to permit the entire and free exercise of religion throughout his kingdom, as he cannot abandon those who are afflicted on account of the said religion.—Heillemorn, 21 Dec. 1568. Signed: Guillaume De Nassau.
	2. P. S.—The said Colonel Schomberg wrote to the Prince by the King's commandment from Melun on the 27th inst. that he could not further declare his intentions than he had done by his letter of the 11th, and that the Prince need not expect any further reply. Copy. Endd. Fr. Pp. 2.

	Those of the soi-disant new religion who have been forbidden to leave their houses on certain days are to be allowed to appoint one of their servants to go about the town on their affairs. He is to have a certificate signed by the captain and commissaires of the quarter, and to be unarmed. The commissaires are to make a weekly search in the houses of those of the religion, to make proces verbal of the names of all the domestics signed by the master of the house, and to remove all arms found therein—23 Dec. 1568. Signed: Malon. Printed in Fr. P. 1.
Dec. 24.	2685. Edward Horsey to Cecil.
	1. Received his letter, and without delay made his repair to Southampton, where he sent for the Italian, Jacomo, and declared that by him he had been abused, for that he assured him that there was no more treasure aboard, and that he had received commandment and authority not only to make further search but also to examine him upon his oath, whether there had been any treasure conveyed to him out of the ship, whether he knew of any other conveyance, and whether there remained any on board. His answer was that willingly he would depose to these artices, and desired that the whole might be laid ashore and the ship thoroughly searched, and that in case he were "reproved" of what he had said he might not only be blamed but also punished.
	2. This done Horsey sent for the captain of ship and in like case declared unto him that he must make further search, who seemed to yield very willingly, saying that if there were twenty ducats found he not only offered to lose the same but also be hanged. Whereupon Horsey sent two gentlemen of the Isle of Wight and two townsmen, who amongst divers secret and doubtful places found two barrels of "sucats" and two boxes of comfits, sent by the Duchess of Alva to her husband, and also two letters in one of the boxes to the Duke. Found the charter party, which made no mention of the treasure, also another writing, which he has sent, wherein was specified as well the particulars of the money as also divers marks. In order to make trial he granted the captain's request to have one of the coffers, which he examined, the contents whereof were 26,882 rials; has opened two others, which contain about 550l. The total amounts to 31,000l., or thereabouts.
	2. It seems the treasure should appertain to merchants not only by the sundry marks, but also by certain tickets, whereof he sends two.
	3. Desires to know his further pleasure, and if the Queen intends to have the money brought up.—Hampton, 24 Dec. 1568. Signed. Add. Endd., with seal. Pp. 2.

	Thanks him for making mention in his father's letter of his simple doings to his commendation.—Paris, 25 Dec. 1568. Signed. Add. Endd., with seal. P. 1.
Dec. 26.	2688. Sir Henry Norris to the Queen.
	1. After the encounter of the 26th November the Prince of Condé was greatly desirous to pass the Loire, but the passages being stopped and the towns furnished with garrisons has been the cause of their hindrance. He has taken a castle of the Duke of Montpensier, called Champigny, by composition with a very rich spoil. Monsieur has taken Mirebeau, and put to the sword 400 soldiers. The next day being the 16th both camps advanced in sight of one another, but the place being watery and full of lakes and hedges neither horsemen nor footmen could attempt anything of great moment. There passed certain light skirmishes with equal loss, and the artillery of both parts shot into the camps. The next morning the Prince marched to Loudon, and Mons. D'Anjou went after him.
	2. The soldiers die daily of famine. At this instant none seek to make any accord betwixt them. Gives the names of such of the nobility as have the conducting of both armies. Four thousand Swiss have arrived at Montereausur-Yonne, whither the King intended to have gone, and passed these holidays, but the Prince of Orange's doubtful hovering upon the frontiers has caused him to alter his purpose. Schomberg, one of the King's Almain colonels, has been sent to him. The Duke D'Aumale has the greatest part of the King's reiters, being in number 5,000. Two hundred thousand francs has come to his hands for the first pay.
	3. In Paris the religion is very extremely dealt with, being expressly commanded during these holidays not to stir out of their houses.—Melun, 26 Dec. 1568. Signed. Add. Endd. Pp. 3½.
Dec. 26.	2689. Sir Henry Norris to Cecil.
	Gives an account of the movements of the King's and Prince of Condés armies since the 14th inst. On the 16th inst. there chanced suddenly in the Court a great fire, burning the forefront of the Queen's lodgings, which struck the King with such sadness and melancholy, thinking it to be but malum omen, that the Queen gave order that all packets which came should first be overseen, minding to feed the King's melancholy humour with such news only as might best content the same. The long delays of the Prince of Orange will cause great inconvenience to the Prince of Condé Sends what has passed betwixt the French King and the Prince of Orange.—Melun, 26 Dec. 1568. Signed. Add. Endd., with seal. Pp. 2¼.
Dec. 27.	2690. Advertisements from the French Ambassador.
	News sent from the French King on the 27th December 1568 to M. De la Mothe Fenelon to be communicated to the Queen of England. The Duke D'Anjou having forced the Prince of Condé to retire to Loudon, he looks from day to day for some good ending, his enemies having delayed in hopes of the Prince of Orange's army joining them, which can hardly be done as he has two large rivers to cross, and the Duke of Aumale is close to him with 8,000 cavalry. The King's army is twice as fine and strong as his enemy's. Endd. Fr. P. 1.
Dec. 28.	2691. M. De la Mothe Fenelon to Cecil.

Draft. Endd.: 28 Dec. 1568. P. ½.
Dec. 29.	2695. Complaint to the Spanish Ambassador.
	A ship of Marseilles laden in Flanders with merchandise for Italy was taken by certain French and English pirates and brought into Southampton; whereupon process was procured for the arrest thereof, which was executed; notwithstanding since the arrest the Mayor of Southampton has released the pirates and the ship is gone. Therefore they pray that the Mayor may be sent for to answer the matter. Draft. Endd.: 29 Dec. 1568. P. ¾.

	The King and Queen Mother of France have written to him on the 17th inst. that the Prince of Conde has lost part of his infantry, and that Monsieur has been reinforced by 7,000 footmen and 1,500 horse under M. De Joyeuse. The Prince is retiring on Rochelle and Monsieur is following him with his whole army. The Prince of Orange is still in Champagne. —London, 30 Dec. 1568. Signed. Add. Endd. Fr. P. ½.
Dec. 30.	2697. Henry Prince of Navarre to Cecil.

De Renty the goodwill which he bears to the cause for which the Prince of Conde, he, and other great Lords have taken up arms, and also his good services with the Queen to induce her to favour and succour them as she has always done, for which he thanks him, and begs him to continue his good intentions, considering that this is a common cause to all those who have been withdrawn from the tyranny of the Pope. The Prince of Conde and himself are resolved to employ both their goods and their lives in the defence of this quarrel. Refers him for particular news to the report sent by the bearer.—Thouars, 30 Dec. 1568 Signed: Henry. Orig. Add. Endd., with seal. Fr. P. 1.

Dec. 31.	2699. The Prince of Conde to Cecil.
	To the same effect as the letter of the Prince of Navarre of the 30th thanking him for the good affection which he has always shown to their cause.—Thouars, 31 Dec. 1568. Signed: Loys De Bourbon. Orig. Add. Endd. Fr. P. ½.

	Johannes De Canes [John Hawkins] in January 1568 with seven ships went to Guinea and seized upon and destroyed several Portuguese vessels, and made a great spoil of ivory, wax, and negroes. Afterwards he went to Sierra Leone where he did the same. He compelled by torture the masters and owners of the ships to sign a document declaring that they had sold to him of their own free will those things which he had seized. Gives list of the names of the masters and owners of ten vessels who the said Hawkins had plundered to the extent of 70,000 ducats. In the two years 1567, 1568, he has taken more than 200,000 ducats. In 1567 another Englishmen, named John Cobol [Cobham], with four vessels, plundered on that coast to the amount of 20,000 ducats, which last sum has however been recovered. With the Portuguese Ambassador's reply of this date. Lat. Pp.3.
Dec.	2703. Reply of the Portuguese Ambassador.
	The King of Portugal has seen her answer to his former embassy, and is pleased that she should have considered his just proposals with so friendly a mind; nevertheless it would be gratifying to him if she would prohibit her subjects from all trade on the coasts of Guinea under pain of death and confiscation of goods. His subjects can never endure that foreigners should reap the advantage of that commerce which his ancestors acquired by a great expense of blood and treasure. The King is pricked to the heart that she refused immediate recompense to his subjects for piracies committed by the English, and again demands that she will do so. The King promises justice to two of her subjects. The King forbears to answer the other points contained in her reply, as they have nothing to do with the subject in question. Endd. Lat. Pp. 2½.
