to a strict confirmation of the same Peace by a new Alliance with the King of France the features of Madamoiselle and the continual Encomiums of her Wit and pleasing disposition made him take a resolution to send an extraordinary Ambassador to desire her in Marriage To this purpose Don Paolo Spinola Marquess de les Balbasez who had been chief in the Embassy of Spain at Nimmenghen being chosen arrived at Paris the 26 th of April 1679 and in a particular audience which he had of the King at St. Germaine en Lay the 10 th of May demanded Madamoiselle in Marriage for the King his Master To which the King made answer That the asfair was of importance and that he would consider of it The Embassador returned to Paris and made his publick Entry the 11 th of June and two days after had publick audience of the King at St. Germaines At last upon the 12 th of July the King after he had discoursed the Queen Monsieur and Madamoiselle gave audience to the Embassador and at the same time told him That most gladly he consented to the demand of Madamoiselle by the King of Spain The Marquess de les Balbasez immediately dispatched a Courier to Madrid to give the King of Spain the knowledg of the News which he expected with so much impatience The King of France also sent another Courier to the Duke D' Estrees his Ambassador at Rome to demand of the Pope a Dispensation of the Lett of Consanguinity which demand was also seconded by another Courier from the Marquess de les Balbasez to the Marquess de Liche Embassador at Rome for the King of Spain The Pope readily yielded to their desires and because it is the custom to give these Dispensations to the Husband they were therefore given into the hands of the Marquess de Liche who sent them to the Marquess of Balbasez The 13 th of July the King of Spain had intelligence that the King of France had consented to his demand of Madamoiselle and because it was necessary that some person should espouse her in his behalf he sent a blank Procuration desiring the King of France to fill it up as should be most to his own liking So soon as this News was made publick at Madrid it caused a unanimous and universal rejoycing The whole City seemed to be all in a flame for several days The young Lords strove to outvy each other in magnificence of Festivals and the common people cry'd That they had been always happy in Queens sent
