	Understand by their last letters from France, dated the 15th August, that the most Christian King was at Fontainebleau, and had stipulated the marriage of his daughter to the King of England; and as they are both minors, the French Princess will be taken to England to remain there until the consummation of the marriage.

Sept. 12. Parti Secrete, Consiglio X. File no. 8.	711. The Chiefs of the Ten to Giacomo Soranzo, Venetian Ambassador in England.
	By his letters addressed to them on the 17th ult. have heard what he had to tell them about their most faithful Sebastian Cabot, which pleased them much. Commend him greatly for his diligence in giving them a detailed account of his qualities and parts. Desire him in reply to let Cabot know that they are extremely gratified by his offer. As to the request made to the ambassador by the Lords of the Council (fn. 1) about the credits and recovery of property claimed by him, to say that the Signory wishes to do whatever may be agreeable to the King and their Lordships; but as no one in Venice knows Cabot, it would be necessary for him to come in person to identify himself and prove his rights, the matters in question being of very ancient date. Gave this same answer to his Majesty's ambassador, who made the demand of them in accordance with his (Soranzo's) letter.
	To communicate the whole to Cabot, that he may ask and obtain leave to come to Venice. To favour the suit, that Cabot may return to them as soon as possible, and in the meanwhile to endeavour to obtain from Cabot as many particulars as he can about his design respecting this navigation, (fn. 2) giving the Chiefs especial notice of the whole. (fn. 3)
