| Spanish Calendar vi. ii., No. 273 (App.) |
Has received both his despatches of the 5th inst. and 22nd ult., (fn. 1) and forwarded them to the Emperor. Should those innovations in mercantile matters be made she will know how to retaliate, but would like first to hear the Emperor's view. Hopes, with a little patience, to make the English understand that it is their interest to leave matters as they are. Wishes to know as soon as possible what the innovations are, and what sort of measures are likely to be introduced into Parliament. The Court-master of the English in this city called the other day on the President of the Emperor's Council, to know if the Emperor, our brother, had ordered the revocation of the edict proclaimed some time ago in these Low Countries. The President said no, and it was quite unreasonable to ask for its revocation unless Henry would at least moderate his late ordinances and allow Flemish shipowners to export goods from England. The Court-master replied that the King would never consent to that, and the President reminded him that the English had been more favoured than any other nation, even than the Spaniards and the Dutch themselves. As the rumour that the Emperor was going to revoke his own edict has been probably spread in England to please some of the King's subjects, it will be well for the present to delay the question of the revocation and make in the Privy Council a solemn declaration in conformity with the Emperor's views and ours as above, the more so as the Emperor will have by this time signified his intentions in the matter to the bp. of Winchester. If interrogated on this subject try and procure delay, and that a day be fixed for discussing the bases of a new treaty with these Low Countries.
