	On account of the controversy concerning his aunt's marriage, he is not very friendly with the King of England, and without scruple has always sought to have the case continued and decided at Rome, and not to be removed to England; nor does he believe that the King would ever proceed to extremities against the Queen, and gives it to be understood, that he should have the means of making him repent.

	Mons. de Rolimbo [Rochambeau], the Imperial ambassador, arrived in London on the 3rd from Scotland, where he remained six weeks, about the divorce, and to obtain assistance from the King against the Turk. On the 6th a herald came from the King of Scotland to the King of England. A friend at the Scottish Court (fn. 2) writes, in date 28th May, that on the 15th the Parliament closed, having determined, in favour of the Queen, not to assent to the divorce. The King was to quit Edinburgh and to go to St. Andrew's, to hold another Parliament, at the request of the Pope, for the Lutheran affairs; and to obtain assistance against the Turk. This, the Papal Nuncio Dom. Silvestro Dario, hoped to procure; and 70 Lutherans in the neighbourhood of St. Andrew's, where they are in very great number, and plunder the country, doing much mischief, have been captured. Said Nuncio is expected in London in the course of the present month.
	Advices purport that King Christian of Denmark, the Emperor's brother-in-law, who, as written by me some time ago, was ship-wrecked with the greater part of his fleet, has been taken by the forces of the League of Lubeck, and it is expected they will put him to death.
	The day before yesterday, the French ambassador, Mons. de Pomeraye, arrived from France, where his most Christian Majesty gave him a revenue of 6,000 ducats, and a very rich wife. He went immediately to the King, who is at a distannce of eight miles from London. The Marquis of Saluzzo, who was to have come hither, has renounced the project, as this French ambassador has supplied his place.
	Has been assured by a trustworthy friend, that for the Italian expedition the King of France has 15,000 Switzers, and will have 10,000 Italian infantry, and 10,000 Lansquenets of the new band; and when the Grand Turk [Sultan Solyman] shall have commenced war on the Emperor, he, the King, will march.
	The King is intent on terminating the divorce, and in momentary expectation of letters from Rome on the subject; but will not proceed to extremities until he sees the commencement of the aforesaid attack. He has commenced inspecting the artillery and ammunition in the Tower, which he purposes fortifying.
	The galleys departed on the 27th ult., with a fair wind.

	The Lutherans at the Diet of Nuremberg demand the maintenance of the articles in their “Confession” and “Apology,” and permission to preach their doctrine and convert others to it, they considering' it so Catholic, that by omitting to do so they reproach themselves with the want of Christian charity. They are content not to have communion with the Zuinglians and Anabaptists, unless they conform to the Lutheran dogmas.
	The Emperor, will not consent to hold the Council General until this Turkish expedition comes to an end. When at liberty, he will do his utmost to hold it, and confer with the Pope to that effect.
