July 28. Deliberazioni Senato (Secreta), v. lxiii. p. 44, tergo. 294. The Doge and Senate to the Venetian “Bailo” at Constantinople.
The Emperor went to Trent, where he did not remain, but proceeded towards Spires, and according to the advices received by us he is going to Flanders to join his army in those parts. It is said that the King of England has made an agreement with him, and that some English troops have already crossed the Channel to unite with the Imperial forces against the King of France; and by letters from our ambassador at the French Court, dated the 26th ultimo, we understand that his most Christian Majesty and his two sons, with his army, are towards Picardy, on their march against the Emperor's territories.
