allowed  to  reside  in  France ;  second,  that  Alen9on  should  entirely
abandon  his  help  to,  and  connection  with,  the  Flemish  rebels  ;  third,
that  the  marriage  negotiations  should  be  broken  off;  and,  fourth,
the  marriage  of  Alengon  to  one  of  the  Infantas.  The  ambassador
adds  that  since  the  Nuncio's  arrival  the  Turkish  ambassador  was
with  but  small  hope  of  a  favourable  despatch,  and  that  M.  de
Lansac  would  not  leave  until  the  king  of  France  had  received  a
reply  to  a  letter  which  he  had  sent  to  his  ambassador  in  Spain
reporting  the  intelligence  that  Alen9on  had  sent  from  here.
