February 1610



Feb. 5. Madrid.	480. Francis Cottington to Salisbury. The Persian ambassador (Robert Sherley), lodged and defrayed by the King of Spain. Cottington's interview with him, “I do not perceive that he is possessed with those vanities which do so much govern his brother Anthony.” He is not pleased with his entertainment, and tells Cottington he is resolved to go directly to England, having received kind letters from Salisbury that His Majesty is contented he should also perform his embassage there. [Extract from Correspondence, Spain.]
Feb. 18. Madrid.	481. Fras. Cottington to Salisbury. Arrival of a ship at Lisbon from Holland on her way to the East Indies. Declaration of the Captain to the Viceroy that he had commission to carry from hence such persons or orders as the King of Spain should appoint for publishing the truce in those parts, and that unless this offer was accepted or other course for the publication taken within twenty days, he was to proceed on his journey and perform what was commanded him by secret instructions. The Viceroy dispatched a courier to this court, but the business has been so long in consultation that “the party” went from Lisbon without any answer. [Extract from Correspondence, Spain.]
