April 1576

April 3. Original Despatch, Venetian Archives. 653. Giovanni Francesco Morosini, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Signory
The Earl of Oxford, an English gentlemen, has arrived here. He has come from Venice, and, according to what has been said to me by the English Ambassador here resident [Dale], speaks in great praise of the numerous courtesies which he has received in that city; and he reports that on his departure from Venice your Serenity had already elected an Ambassador to be sent to his Queen, and the English Ambassador expressed the greatest satisfaction at the intelligence. I myself, not having received any information from your Serenity or from any of my correspondents, did not know what answer to give concerning this matter.
Paris, 3rd April 1576.

April 17. Original Despatch, Venetian Archives. 654. Giovanni Francesco Morosini, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Signory.
The gentleman who was expected from England, and who has been accredited by the Queen of England to induce his Majesty to conclude a peace as favourable as possible to the false religion, has arrived in Paris and has been courteously received. Contemporaneously with his arrival I have had delivered the enclosed letter which relates to the currant monopoly granted to Acerbo Velutelli. This letter is dated from London on the 28th March, and is signed by Diogene Franceschini, but I anticipate no favourable result, unless the Signory determine to send an Ambassador to England, as indeed all the English Lords, although privately, give me to understand.
Paris, 17th April 1576.
