601. Bernardino De Mendoza to the King.
[Extract.]
I have received news from St. Denis that the prince of Bearn was trying to induce the queen of England to send a fleet to Flanders, but that the fondo delayed it ; (fn. 1) beside which the Queen wishes to hold some French towns as security for the cost of maintenance of the fleet. Stafford, who was with Bearn, was negotiating about this. Horatio Pallavicini was also with Bearn. — Paris, 11th September 1590.
