Madrid, Thursday, 15/29 April, 1666.
"The Empress, married by proxy, which was the Duke de Medina de las
Torres, upon Sunday last, did yesterday begin her journey from this
Court towards Vienna. Her Imperial Majesty carried along with her a
vast treasure in money, plate, and jewels; so, in that respect, will
much enfeeble this summer's preparation against Portugal: in another
regard the despatch of that great affair out of the way, which hath
wholly taken up these Councils in pro's and con's for many months
past, hath left them at liberty to prosecute with the more vigour this
war."--Ibid.
