3.  Urges  Smith  to  obtain  his  [Throckmorton's]  speedy
revocation.  The  Prince  will  not  send  his  cipher  to  him  by
unknown  messengers  in  these  dangerous  times,  but  hopes
that  he  [Smith]  will  inform  him  by  the  writer.  Asks  him
to  fall  into  an  acquaintance  with  the  bearer,  so  as  to  use  him
upon  occasion  hereafter.  It  is  said  here,  that  the  Parisian
force  follows  to  fight  with  the  Prince's  party;  but  as  yet
they  have  had  no  hot  alarms.  Asks  him  to  forward  his  letter
to  the  Queen.— St.  Amoul,  14  Dea  1562.
