Folio 44: Thomas Burnett to Duke of Newcastle. Arrival at Lisbon of an advice-ship from Havana. Dilatory journey of the Marquis of Abrantes, and report that Spain is now prepared to conclude the double royal marriages without insisting on an offensive and defensive alliance with Portugal. Despite the commencement of hostilities at Gibraltar, news from Madrid indicates most people think `the war would be stifled in its very birth' and peace soon restored. College of Cardinals still violently opposed to Bichi's promotion, but Pope may go ahead with it. Portuguese warship for Macao, to bring home their ambassador to China.
