Jan. 26. Lettere del Col- legio (Secreta), File no. 17. 291. The Doge and College to Girolamo Zuccato, Venetian Secretary in England.
On the 11th instant, received his letters of the 16th ult. informing them that the English troops had routed the Scottish army, capturing its commander [Lord Maxwell] and many other noblemen, who were to be taken to England in proof of the victory. His Majesty's agent [Sigismund Harvel] came to them subsequently and gave the same account in detail; and although from the very commencement of those dissensions they were of opinion that by reason of the power and valour of the English forces, the result would be such as it has been, they nevertheless, owing to the ancient and perpetual friendship and goodwill which have constantly prevailed between his Majesty and the Republic, rejoiced greatly that not only will the King's enemies, who had crossed his borders intending to molest him, have seen the vanity of their thoughts and designs, but, being thus checked and repulsed, their loss and defeat will cause hesitation to such as may at any time attempt anything prejudicial to his Majesty, whom he is therefore to congratulate in their name on this victory and his successes.
Ayes, 17. No, 1. Neutral, 1.
