| The conference between Cecil and Richardot has had no result. The Queen is not disposed to either peace or truce. Don Gascon Spinola, an important Minister of the Archduke, sent a Scotchman, called Humbey (? Mowbray (fn. 1) ), with letters to Cecil, telling him that if Queen really wished for the good of her country he could pledge his soul that a means might be found. Cecil showed the letter to the Queen, who, while giving instructions as to the reply, was informed that the Scotsman was charged to murder Count Maurice. The Queen suspected that this was a ruse of the States to break off negotiations. But soon after the King of Scotland demanded him, on the charge of plotting against himself. The Queen surrendered him, and refused to reply to the letter he had brought. | |
