Excerpt from Calendar of State Papers and Manuscripts, Relating to English Affairs, Existing in the Archives and Collections of Venice, and in Other Libraries of Northern Italy, Vol. 6: Part III; 1557-1558; With an Appendix

The Duke of Paliano is still in fear of not getting back his son, not having yet received any letters from France on the subject.

Since some days, the market-places here have been without bread, and what little was brought in the morning may be said to have been fought for; and there is in like manner a. Scarcity of fuel, grain, and other necessaries, the results of the inundation of the Tiber being now much more felt. Benevento has been reappointed commissary general accepting the post after much entreaty, and has already issued a proclamation desiring everybody to give a note of all the grain they possess, within one day, under very heavy penalties, and it is said that he will thus obtain a supply, which, if distributed judiciously, will last until the provisions arrive from the March of Ancona and elsewhere.
