1.  The  same  information  as  is  contained  in  his  letter  to
the  Queen  of  the  same  date,  concerning  the  suspected  treason
in  Newhaven,  and  the  indignant  denial  of  Briqueknaidt  and
Beauvoir. — Newhaven,  8  Dec.  1562.    SigTied,

2.  P.S. — This  day  Captain  Blundell  came  to  him,  whose
brother-in-law  kept  the  castle  of  Tancarville  for  the  Duke
of  Longueville,  with  other  gentlemen  and  burgesses  of  this
town,  and  offered  to  deliver  next  day  the  said  castle ;  requiring
of  liim  but  a  dozen  or  twenty  halberdiers  to  go  with  such
as  they  would  appoint  for  that  purpose,  with  whom  Edward
Dudley  made  suit  to  go.  It  is  a  place  of  good  service,  as
from  thence  wood  and  corn  may  be  had  within  half  a  mile
of  the  highway  to  Kouen.  Taking  the  advice  of  some  of  the
council,  he  did  not  refuse  the  offer,  and  therefore  ordered
boats  to  be  made  ready,  so  that  the  next  day  they  brought
unto  him  the  Duke's  men  and  committed  the  rest  (which
were  not  more  than  twenty),  to  prison  in  the  said  castle ;
whereupon  he  gave  further  order  for  the  sending  thither  100
of  his  own  men  and  certain  of  the  French  for  the  keeping
thereof,  with  munition  and  victuals.  If  the  enemy  should
go  thither  with  a  greater  force  than  they  are  able  to  with-
stand, they  can  retire  hither  by  water.  These  townsmen
desired  him  to  take  their  oaths  for  their  fidelity  towards  the
Queen,  so  long  as  she  shall  maintain  the  cause  of  religion.
