| The Signory's Proveditor at Zante writes, in date of the 12th ult., that the Imperial fleet has had a prosperous voyage, and succoured Coron. According to the usual custom, they therefore desire him to impart this intelligence to the King, and to such of the Lords of the Council as he shall think fit, according to the enclosed copies of the Proveditor's letters. | |

| The Duke of Norfolk arrived here on the 30th ult., having come from Lyons in eight days; and his Majesty is sending the Bishop of Winchester [Stephen Gardiner] to the conference between the Pope and the most Christian King—it is said to soothe (mitigar) the Pope, and persuade him to suspend the acts passed by him against the King, and to pay his respects to him (inchinarlo) making him great offers for the undertaking against the Infidels. Should this be rejected, appeal against the Pope's acts is to be made to the future Council, protesting, etc. | |

| After my audience of the King, I went to the Cardinal Legate [Chancellor Duprat], who was present when I spoke to his Majesty, but could hear but little, and I told him briefly about the death of Meraveglia. His Lordship said, “The King has told me everything: he (Meraveglia) was put to death contra jus gentium naturale el scriptum; and a much slighter outrage committed by a French Captain de Lugan (sic) against a Swiss envoy or courier, when King Lewis held the Milanese, cost this crown a million of gold; and in England, two ambassadors—one from the Pope, (fn. 1) the other from the King of France—being detected plotting by night against the King of England, were arrested, and their trial committed to the English court of judicature. The Pope perceiving that his ambassador had erred, degraded him; and the most Christian King wrote a letter to his ambassador, who, after reading it, died of melancholy. Reparation will be made for this death; if not, the King will try who is most powerful—he or the Pope (sic) [Duke of Milan?]. He [the King] does not wish for his [the Duke's] State, but for reparation.” | |
