| Are informed by their letters from France down to the 29th ult., that after the safe arrival in Scotland of the French succour, the Scottish barons, at the persuasion of the Governor, had determined to send the young Queen [Mary Stuart] to reside in France, that the King may be assured the English marriage will not take place, and to encourage his Majesty by so much the more vigorously to defend the kingdom of Scotland; and that he was coming into Piedmont, as he did, having arrived on the 12th instant at Turin, from which city they have letters from their ambassador dated the 15th. According to report, his Majesty is come to inspect those frontiers, and will then return to France; and he is increasing his fleet at Marseilles and along that coast, and it is expected to consist of a good number of sail. | |
| By letters from England, dated the 24th ult., have heard that Pietro Strozzi, the commander of the French fleet, after his arrival in Scotland, went with the French and Scottish troops and battered a fortress held by the English, called Hadington, near which place a skirmish took place with the English cavalry, which is understood to have been routed, with the loss of some thousand horse, and of some of the best commanders in the English service; (fn. 1) so Hadington is expected soon to fall into the hands of the Scots and French and therefore the English were endeavouring to reinforce their troops and had sent their fleet (which was said to number forty large ships) into those parts.

| Aug. 24. Miscellaneous Correspondence, Library, Venetian Archives. | 542. The Governors of Padua to the Chiefs of the Ten. |
| Have received their letter, dated the 22nd instant, demanding information about the quality of six English gentlemen, whose names were given in a former letter from the Chiefs, dated 10th July, respecting the arms-license requested for them by the ambassador of the most Serene King of England, as therein contained. The Governors have never received that letter, and therefore the names of these gentlemen being unknown to them, they are unable to give the information required. | |
