Portuguese ambassadors nominated to go to Vienna and Paris, and Methuen's speculations on their real business. Has obtained pardon and freedom for six English pirates sentenced to be hanged for piracy on coast of Brazil. Has thanked King for sending from Mazagão nine English slaves escaped from captivity in Morocco.
