May 27. Original Despatch, Venetian Archives.	672. Giovanni Francesco Morosini and Hieronimo Lippomano, Venetian Ambassadors in France, to the Signory.
	We have been in communication with a personage of high station and well informed, who assures us that Mons. de La Personne has been sent by Casimir to acquaint the Queen of England that it is not possible to make any levy of Roisters to act against this Kingdom unless two hundred thousand crowns be first provided for two payments of the levy; secondly, that when the Roisters pass the frontiers they must be met and assisted by the Huguenots of France; and, thirdly, that the Queen should simultaneously be prepared to make war against this King; Casimir asserting that without this assistance and these conditions he had no means of bringing the Roisters hither. It is, therefore, considered certain either that the Roisters will not come, or that their arrival on account of these difficulties will be indefinitely postponed.
