IH. that she entered further into the proposal than she would otherwise have done^ nay^ even had a con- tract of marriage drawn up, and presented Alen^on with a ring, which many persons considered to be a formal betrothing. But at every step that she unexpectedly advanced, the objections became more numerous. It is n...ot personal inclination for our noble dueen, said the objectors, that induces Alen9on to press the matter so urgently, but the wish, with her aid, to gain the Netherlands.

Alenson is much more likely to deceive the Hugonots in Prance, to exalt the CathoUcs in England, and to educate his children, if he has any, in the Catholic rehgion, France will attempt to direct the affairs of England as it did those of Scotland, and then, instead of the expected friendship, the bitterest enmity will en- sue.
