417. The King to Bernardino De Mendoza. [Extract.] The news you sent about Drake's fleet agreed with the number of ships he took to Galicia, where the daring of his attempt was greater than the damage he was able to effect. We have no certain information about him since he left the Galician coast, and it will be well for you to report to me what you can learn of his subsequent movements. You will use the utmost diligence in obtaining very frequent and very trustworthy news from England, which you will transmit to me continually. In the absence of any better way, the course you have adopted of learning what the French ambassador writes is a good one, although if you can send a confidential person to the English ports, who may ascertain about the armaments and other things, you must do so. The danger of sending such reports in writing may be got over by couching all information in mercantile language, which may be used as a cipher to signify anything agreed upon.—Tortosa, 29th December 1585. |
