| Having heard by his last letters, dated the 13th and 14th ultimo, and by the statement made to them by the Magnifico the King's ambassador [Sigismund Harvel], that his royal Majesty has contracted marriage and espoused that most illustrious Madam (quella, Illma Madama), creating her Queen, they rejoiced as became their ancient, good, and natural friendship, and the goodwill which the Republic bears his Majesty. To congratulate the King in such acceptable form as to convince him they share his Majesty's joy and satisfaction. | |
| He is subsequently to do the like by the most Serene Queen, and by such of the nobility as shall seem fit to him, so that their goodwill towards his Majesty may be manifest; and should he not think fit to perform this congratulatory office, for the reason written by him, that it might displease the King, they leave its breach or observance optional with him as he shall deem opportune. (fn. 1) | |
| In his preceding letter he inquired about an order for requesting of the King a fresh [export] permit for wool, the term of the one granted them having expired; so, being well satisfied with his care for the Republic's interests, they charge him diligently to solicit the wool permit, speaking about it to the King if necessary, and with such persons as he shall think fitting, so that it may be conceded for as long a period as possible; and he is to acquaint them with the execution of this order. | |

| The King of France with his army is on the borders of Flanders, where he has taken a place called Landrecy, and the Dauphin having attempted to take another town was repulsed with some loss. King Francis was intent on providing funds, and on fortifying and garrisoning his frontiers, the English having already crossed over to Calais to wage war on him, according to the confederacy made by the King of England with the Emperor, who at the end of June went over to Germany on his way to Flanders. On the 20th of last month he was at Ulm, with the intention of departing on the 21st, and encamping outside Spires with his army in the course of July, when he would march in such direction as should seem most advantageous for him. | |
