| The Ambassador from England [Dr. John Mann], by order of his Queen, has complained to his Majesty that the Duke of Alva had refused to accord to the English nation the privileges which they had previously enjoyed in Flanders, proving that under these circumstances great injury was done to the commerce of both countries. Subsequently the Ambassador had a long interview with Signor Ruy Gomez concerning the many differences between the two nations, but hitherto no settlement had been arrived at. | |
