656. The Duke Of Sessa, Imperial Ambassador in Rome,
to the Emperor.
Marquis of Pescara.
Letters of the Archbishop of Capua, dated the 11th of May,
have arrived. He writes that on his arrival at Blois he found
the King of France ready to accept a truce on the former
conditions, but very little inclined to conclude a peace,
although he already knew of the defeat of his army, which he
calls a retreat. The Archbishop went from France to England,
asking the Pope to tell him what he was to do there.
The Pope answered him (the Archbishop) that if he was
hoping to conclude a truce, he ought to go from England to
the Imperial court ; if not, he should immediately return to
Rome.
The King of France wrote to his ambassador (in Rome)
after the defeat of his army was known. He is preparing
a new army, and laments nothing but the death of
the Captain Bayard. The King of France suspects the Archbishop
of Capua, and is afraid he will arrange some new plot
against him in England.
The Archbishop of Capua has written that he is very well
satisfied with the reception which the King of France has
given him.
The nuncio of the Pope who is in England informs the
Pope that the King of England has told him he will give the
money necessary for the invasion of Provence. Richard Pace
was expected in England. He has most probably now arrived,
or is perhaps already on his return journey. When the
nuncio wrote, the great victory over the French was not yet
known in England. More news from England is daily expected
in Rome.
His Holiness has not given any more money. Bishopric of
Utrecht, &c.
The Infante wants money.
Alberto fears he shall lose the county of Carpi, &c.—

659. The Abbot Of Najera to the Emperor.
The Archbishop of Capua has returned to Rome very well
satisfied with his embassy. He says that the King of England
has promised to send 200,000 ducats for the enterprise on
Provence.
The Marquis of Pescara refused to invade France without
having received his (the Emperor's) express orders. The
Viceroy (of Naples) and other captains, however, have persuaded
him not to oppose the invasion of Provence.
Marquis of Mantua, &c.
The Duke of Bourbon feels perfectly sure of victory.
Richard Pace arrived at Milan on the 11th. He is expected
