THE COURT OFFICIALS. 137<br />

Cardinal Granvelle declared that everything was changed in<br />

Rome.^ <strong>The</strong> new <strong>of</strong>ficials who had been appointed during<br />

<strong>the</strong> first days <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pontificate, for <strong>the</strong> ApostoHc Palace, <strong>the</strong><br />

Dataria, <strong>the</strong> government <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Papal States, and o<strong>the</strong>r im-<br />

portant <strong>of</strong>fices, were all significant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new methods which<br />

<strong>the</strong> Pope intended to adopt. ^ In affairs <strong>of</strong> State, <strong>the</strong> Spanish<br />

ambassador says, when giving a list <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new <strong>of</strong>ficials, he<br />

will make use <strong>of</strong> Farnese, but for <strong>the</strong> administration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

city, and for <strong>the</strong> carrying out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Council <strong>of</strong> Trent, which,<br />

it is said, he intends to do with full rigour, Borromeo will be<br />

his right hand.^<br />

Cesare segretario delle lettere si e detto del vescovo di Cesena, ma<br />

non e anco stabilito. II datariu andara alia foggia di Paulo IV.,<br />

Caligari to Commendone on January 9, 1566, Lett, di princ.<br />

XXIII. 73*^ (now i6o'^-i6i). Papal Secret Archives. " Ha hecho<br />

un muy buen datario que es el argobispo [<strong>of</strong> Chieti, latei i n<br />

Cardinal] jNIafeo, y puesto por superintendentes de la dataria los<br />

cardenales Trani, Reumano y Pisa que ya lo fueron en tiempo de<br />

Paulo IV. ; y pienso que se proveeran los beneficios por examen,<br />

como en su tiempo se hazia. Ha encomendado la superinten-<br />

dencia del govierno y justicia criminal de todo el estado eclesiastico<br />

a los cardenales S. Clemente, Gambaro y Nicolino." Requesens<br />

to Philip II. , on January 11, 1566, Corresp. dipl. I., 86.<br />

* " En todas las cosas de estado creo que se governara por el<br />

parescer del card. Fames, como lo ha comen9ado ; y creo que el<br />

y Vitello y Pisa seran los que mas podran con Su Beatitud, y tambien<br />

creo que se servira de Borromeo en lo que toca al govierno<br />

spiritual de esta 9iudad y execucion de las cosas del conciUo, el<br />

qual dizen que quiere guardar en todo rigor." Ibid.
