By the Cardinal's letters and the report of the writer, V. A.
[Votre Altesse?] will be informed of the success of the writer's
two voyages into England. On his return from the second
he finds that the Cardinal [Granville] is so far from this
place that he thinks it well to inform her of the present state
of affairs. The Queen delays all further proceedings until the
pleasure of the King and V. A. agrees with her own. She
promises, however, that during this negotiation nothing shall
be innovated on her part, yet from the great preparations
which are being made in England, this seems doubtful. Has
promised the like to her by the order of the Cardinal. The
long delay of the answer occasions him some anxiety, the
stipulated period having been exceeded, of which advantage
may be taken by their opponents. The Queen is importuned
by foreign princes who wish to rouse her into action. Their
complaints are founded upon the excesses committed upon the
empire. Copy. Fr. Pp. 2. |

| April 2. | 1428. Answer to the French Ambassador's Cavillations. |
|
M. De Seurre, having in the name of the Bishop of Valence
and his own, certified to the Council that they have found
diverse things in the Queen's late proclamation prejudicial
to the honour of the French King, and having put the same
in writing, they are here answered. Reasons are given
which warrant the Queen to fear invasion; the probable
answers thereto are anticipated and refuted. Also, why the
hostility of the house of Guise was noted, and the probable
effects of their influence upon the King of France and Queen
of Scotland are pointed out. Also, why it was declared that
the meaning of the French was to invade England by way of
Scotland. The people of this realm cannot without clamour
hear that they have another Queen in France. Copy, corrected by Cecil and endd. by him: 2 April 1560. Pp. 12. |

| [April 20.] | 1431. The French Ambassador's Protestation. |
|
The protestation of the French King, delivered by his
Ambassador in England to the Queen, having been printed
and published in France, but altered in certain words and
sentences from the original signed by the Ambassador; there
is here now printed, word for word, the answer made by the
Queen to the said French protestation delivered in Latin,
"because of the uncertain knowledge of the French tongue
in any natural Englishman." The same was also put into
French. She will be glad if the professions of the French
shall appear by the treaty now intended in Scotland. Draft, corrected by Cecil. Endd: Copy of the preface in the answer to the French Ambassador's protestation. Pp. 3. |
