Bastie Minister at Angrogne the 17 th of April 1686. The Vaudois being resolved as we have told you and the Duke of Savoy gone to the Army the Embassadors thought they had no more to do at Court and therefore now might return home but because it might happen that the Valley-People seeing their danger near and the Troops ready to fall upon them might by the Mediation of the Embassadors have recourse to the Clemency of their Prince they resolved not to be far from them till they saw the Army entred into their Country and had heard what was the success of this Expedition But being informed that so soon as the French appear'd in the Valleys those of St. Martin ran quite away and that the Duke's Troops having forced the Passages on the side of Angrogne found resistance no where they plainly saw they had nothing more to do in Piedmont and therefore went away extremely griev'd that they could not hinder the desolation of the precious remainder of the Valley Churches And being come back to their own Countrey they gave an account of their Embassy to their Soveraigns who judging of their Negotiation not by the success it had but by the Embassadors Conduct after having declar'd they were satisfied with the Zeal and Address which they had made appear during the whole course of this nice Negotiation they thanked them for the care they had taken to discharge so worthily the Employment wherewith they had been honoured FINIS Some BOOKS Printed for R.
