of a temper much different from that she was larely in besides great desires for that which concerns themselves most there are the same desire● for His Maj●sties affairs vehement invectives against the Rebels great satisfaction in the Ambass●dors much sollicitousnesse what is now to be done That the Prince of Orange must do somewhat before he go into the field that some course must be taken to bring the businesse to a Committee of States that Sir William Bosw●l well affected is slow and so accustomed to receive denials that it were unfit to use him that an extraordinary Ambassador from the King Ought to appear but not yet till the businesse be better prepared that she will advise both with the Prince of Orange and all others best affected to the King that if I have any Proposition to make I should bring it to her This was the sum of yesterdayes discourse yet after all this I must not conceal That the Ambassadors complain that the Prince of Orange is much colder then they expected as Mr. Hemflet sayes if he be a good Author This is all I have to say of our condition here this week which indeed is nothing positive but that very shortly it will appear what is to be expected from hence and that the Prince of Orange and Princesse do now as it seems to me apply themselves very seriously to that end An Extract of Dr. Goffs Letter to the Lord JERMIN May 1. I Have discovered this last week a thing which hath perhaps given me all the impediments I have met with and is without doubt the cause of that sudden and positive demand which Hugh made me from the Prince of Orange it is the overture of the match with Brandenburg revived and pursued now these last four weeks by an Expresse from the Marquesse returned last Wednesday in all haste with Order to bring the Marquesse of Brandenburg to Cleve or thereabouts by the end of this moneth of May for which purpose he said he would ride day and night This is that you may be assured of The party himself having discovered the whole businesse of Mo●●ieur Hemflet who with much passion for the Kings interest told me what he had ●ound and afterwards as it was concerted between us made the same relation to the Princesse of Orange and said that he had it from me she was extremely amazed as he sayes how I could get knowledge thereof but in conclusion confessed the thing How far the businesse hath proceeded appears not yet but by what the Prince of Orange discovered● last night with me I am confident that nothing is done to the prejudice of the Prince of Wales pretentions nor shall be if our demands can be performed by them with ease I say with ease for I cannot promise any violence and h●z●rd of ruine to effect it notwithstanding all this I do hope upon particular Instructions to give a better account of the businesse however it shall cleerly appear that there was perfect integrity on Her Majesties part and that the frustration did wholly owe it self to them not so much for want of desire for that is not to be doubted of but that they did not endeavour to effect those things which were most reasonable for the King to demand and perhaps not impossible for them to do in the opinion of all that shall come hereafter to examine what hath passed The Prince of Orange with many testimonies of his great desire of the honour of it fell to speak of the Garter and in sum professeth how glorious an addition it will be to him and his son and if it may be sent the begining of this Campagne that his son who hath the honour to be allied to the King will think himself as long as he lives much honoured in wearing that Order after the manner that it is worn in England wherein he was very particular in describing the several marks used and gave me an account of his own election to that Order which was managed with so much insolency by the Ambassador Carlson that it is easie to collect that was the cause of his not wearing it at first and because not at first never since he added likewise That Henry the fourth wore it always he adviseth that a Letter should be written from the King after the usual manner under the Signer to the States wherein His Majesty may be pleased to expresse the honour he hath done his Son in law Such a Letter was written concerning Prince Maurice and himself and is to be kept by the States This ought to be presented by Sir Will Boswel if no Ambassador be here And after that either an Herald with the Robes and the Order should be sent with Sir W. Boswel into the field where it may be done with more triumph as he sayes or in sending to Sir W. Boswel an excuse may be made for deferring the Formalities and the Order worn presently I told the Prince that I hoped after the return of the Dutch Ambassadors our Affairs here would be in so good a condition that it would be necessary for the Lord Iermine to appear here as Ambassador not onely to present that but to conclude all other Affairs which he said he hoped and that now in short time we should see what was to be expected from hence with which after many kinde promises he ended Since my writing this Letter I have been with the Princesse of Orange where I finde such froideurs and objections now that the portion is like to be accorded against the whole businesse publike and private that I beleeve what I write hath taken place and our businesse at an end Dr. Goff to the Lord Iermin May 1. Since the writing of my other Letter I have been with Secretary Muys who gives great hopes of the States inclining to the King and adviseth the Queen to use all means which hath been spoken of that that alone though the Duke o●Lorrain should ●ail will bring all about that we desire He confessed the Treaty of Brand●nburg but that he knew for certain the minde of the Prince of Orange was if possibly he could to make the match with the Prince of Wales so that however the Prince be wavering and fearful in regard of the Kings Affairs yet the Prince of Orange is resolved to try what may be done rather for the Prince of Wales then any other Lord Jermine to the Lord Digby Paris May 19. I Wrote to you yesterday by Colonel Fitz-Williams I conceive you will finde cause to take the businesse that concerned him into consideration I have sent you now a Copy of Dr. Gaffe's dispatch out of Holland by which you will see the state of that businesse reduced to this onely hope that the return of the Ambassadors out of England may not onely give Prince Orange a disposition to set on foot that which before he was not confident enough of his own strength to attempt but also afford him some hopes

well fashioned hands neck and breast the face is not ill all but very good for many proportions there tomorrow the young Prince and all the Horse take the field Lord Iermin to the Lord Digby Paris 12 May THis Week I had none from you but the Duplicate of that by Romen whereof I made you Answer the last The Queen had one from the King neer it at the same time There is come by the way of the W●st two dayes since ● Copy of that Order for the Tin that L A T first desired it arrived ●here so late that the stay o●casioned the disorder we have so often complained of it is during pleasure onely which is well so that there be no alteration without advertising the Queen in time for if again She should send a ship and money and not have the Tin delivered the same inconveniences would happen again Sir Nicholas Crisp advises that in the end of this moneth there will be a proportion for 4000 pounds sterling which the Queen intends to send for in a Holland Man of War and so hereafter for all that shall be to be had by which the Countrey shall be constantly supplied with money for their Tin and the King shall have His profits both of the preemption and Customes duly paid to Him which I desire you to assure the Lord Treasurer of because I cannot write to him it being easie for him to be informed how many blocks and of what weight we received and I do assure him he shall have a just account of the Kings pre-emption and Customes and further profit and that of consideration shall also be accounted for And this I am sure is the best course that this businesse in nature is capable of I send you Doctor Goffe's dispatch by which you will see the condition of his affairs may be our successe with the arrival of their Ambassadours who perhaps will have some credit with their Masters will open a way to more possibility of drawing them to a Declaration then hath yet appeared for though things have little answered what was expected we ought to have a little more patience especially there being some hope of getting money If you remember when the Duke Despernon lent the King the money in England the Prince of Orange was to put that same into the Contoir of Holland for the Duke to engage the Prince of Orange unto this the Queen did secure him by jewels she left in his hands Some hope ●here is by the industry of Sir W. Godolphin who merits infinitely of the King that this money may be again lent by the Duke if that be brought about the Duke releasing the Prince of Orange who is his security the Iewels will return to the Queen and will I hope finde the 20000 Pistols which would be a thing of infinite consequence The Affairs of the Duke of Lorrain I fear will fail Next week undoubtedly we shall have the last Resolution if it do we must endeavour to get here the money that expedition would have cost them or part of it which is fitter to be hoped for it is not likely we shall have it all because in the passing the Duke away they did their own businesse as much as ours all the Dukes this week out of England is cheerful I must confesse if we abroad had been fortunate in any degree near to that you have been at home we could not have failed of being suddenly happy There is arrived this day a Gentleman of Prince Rupert to fetch his brother Edward into England what the Queen will advise in that particular I do not yet know Here is Colonel Sands that killed Ch. Price that hath earnestly desired the Queens Letter to the King for his pardon and with those Letters would have returned home the Queen by the Information she hath had of the businesse was willing to favour him but I advised him not to return until we know how he will be received Speak of the thing and do him all the kindnesse you can and let me know what the King will be willing to do at the Queens entreaty So wishing you all happinesse I rest Yours The Queen cannot resolve yet concerning the Duke of York's going into Ireland next you shall have Her opinion Dr. Goff to the Lord Jermin Paris May 15. VVHen Her Majesty shall be well enough to speak of businesse I hope your Lordship will finde means to instruct me more particularly concerning the private Treaty by the return from England which I do most humbly beseech Her Majesty to do for now is the time if ever to operate strongly upon this country not only because the Prince of Orange is taking the field where the things useful to us cannot be effected but for that the Ambassadors do so plentifully declare the Iustice of the Kings cause and necessity of the States concernment in it That if the Prince of Orange lose this opportunity for want of words or will there is no reason to bestow more time upon any expectations from hence and I assure you that since your two last Dispatches there is a new vigour towards the Kings affairs both in the Prince of Orange and Princesse which I could never discern before she not dissembling that till now it did not clearly appear Whether the Proposition of the Marriage were real or not The Prince of Orange hath appointed Wednesday and Thursday of this week for the form of the private Treaty to be drawn and agreed on which could not be if there were any other in hand however they may be willing to allow that of Brandinburgh as a reserve and for the Publique it is a very good way though the Committee of States mentioned in my last be not yet obtained the States of Holland pretending that it was unusual to grant any to their own Ambassadors however they have done it upon the demand of strangers here upon Friday last they continued their Report before the States General ●n corps and after in the like manner before them of Holland for three hours space in such a method and with such clearnesse for the Kings advantage that no Subject of his could plead it better the effect of this hath been the satisfaction of most of them and the silencing of them that were most opposite Burral is since gone to his Town Amsterdam there to repeat what he hath done and on Thursday next return● to pursue the work here in which it seems to me by the manner of their proceedings they intend to perish themselves or His Maj●sty shall prosper Muys the Secretary is as industrious as can be desired but I fear he may think it long ere he finde some fruit of his labours in all events that person is to be retained for whether we obtain the League or not it is apparent that ships will be alwayes needful an● the use of their Ports and Arms and to all which his concurrence is of great importance The Princesse is now

THe Queene hath written to the King by this bearer Collonel Fitz-Willams with her owne hand it is the first time she hath been able to use her Pen since her sicknesse which now God be thanked is totally gone she refers the King to me for severall things I shall begin with that which concernes this bearer who is a brave man and hath served in the wars of this Country with great reputation he doth perswade himselfe that if the Peace be made in Ireland that he shall be able to raise there for the King and bring into England ten or twelve thousand men upon the conditions that you will find here enclosed signed by the Queen which he desired his Majesty should Signe for this end that the King might see it was her opinion that the King upon this designe of his should signe some others to him to the same effect so that you are to keep the Paper Signed by the Queen and to propose to the King the signing of something to the same effect if he approve of the businesse which the Queen believes the King will find cause to doe being by the opinion of many others knowing in the affaires of Ireland induced to believe so more then by the confidence of his undertakings which yet may passe for someground he having upon severall occasions already both for the raising and recruiting of those Troopes with which he hath served this State found himselfe very willingly followed by his Conutry-men You will observe part of his demands to consist of a considerable body of Horse that must meet at the place agreed on for his landing Marquesse Newcastle being here and acquainted with this Proposition and foreseeing the landing can only be towards the North in Lancashire hath believed he might not be an improper person for the conduct of this body of Horse to this conjunction and believes further that the stage for it being among his friends he may serve usefull in it how reasonably this is imagined cannot be determined here for it must rest upon the disposition that the Kings Troopes in generall will be in when the resolution for this particular shall be taken to determine whether M. Newcastle or any other may be fit for the charge of Conducting a body of Horse to this conjunction with the Collonel in case the King thinke fit to set forward the businesse and that he be so fortunate as to goe through with it the Queen doth approve of but not as a thing to be much relied on for it is a great thing that will remaine to be done on the Collonels part if the King should be able on his to comply with all the demands which the Queen besieves his Majesty in no estate for neither doth she thinke they are demanded so much in hopes of having them performed as that the promise should give him meanes in Ireland the better to bring about undertakings but rather as that which when it shall faile if it disappoint no other enterprise of the same kind more like to produce the effects aimed at in this which she hopes you will have a care of can be of no inconvenience and therefore adviseth you to consider it very seriously and in what resolution soever shall be taken that there be a speciall care had of giving the person of the Collonel all sorts of satisfaction as a man fully deserving it and zealously affected to the Kings service if M. New should be thought fit to have the charge of any Troopes appointed to joyne with those he shall bring he is well contented all should fall under his command and he to command under him if any other hee must bee chosen as that the Collonel may command him as Generall this is as much as need be said to you of this matter Pray doe me the favour to let the Collonel know I have recommended him to you and use him very kindly I have this night received severall Letters form Holland which I shall send you by an expresse within few dayes for we grow very neere concluding of all our expectation there what will be the issue though as neere as we are no man can tell and the knowledge of it is no more of moment in that point which heretofore was to be considered in it how much influence it was to have in the swaying towards an accommodation or to the continuance of the Warre for it seemes the Lott is cast as to that matter and if we save not our selves with our swords there is little other hope of doing it the knowledge of it would be of use in another respect for if the issue were to be a Declaration of the States to which would follow that of France● there would be in that such a reserve of helpe and so solid foundation of strength to carry through with this Warre as there would be lesse necessity of exposing the fortune of it to frequent hazards the game might be more securely played whereas if now we saw our selves totally without hopes of this support may be that would demand more sudden and lesse seeure tryalls then else we should have cause to attempt For this cause it is a great affliction to me that I cannot so soone as I would give you that which might be some guide to your Counsells pray believe it is not my fault since I am not without the apprehension of the use you might make of it as you see and that upon my word I am not negligent in it which I desire you to represent to the King The businesse of the Duke of Lorraine is not in the same state which the rest are our hopes of money here or breake with the Duke The passing over of them if it be obtained will be of so great expence here that we cannot with any appearance of suceesse presse them for any more supplies of money for Armes and Ammunition All I can say is yet gone is Hasdan●k● proportions consisting of 6040. Muskets 2000. paire of Pistols 1200. Carabines 130 Swords 400. shovels 27000. pounds of Match 50000 pounds of Brimstone this Brimstone will I hope enable you in England to make good store of Powder for Mills Saltpeter Coale and men that know how to make may every where be had 400 Barrels of Powder I have sent to Dartmouth having undertaken to pay for it here if it be not payd for there for feare presently there

assisted the Rebellion in England the States may proceed to such Confiscations and Penalties as they shall think fit whereby the King may finde a considerable profit and they be invited to a more vigorous conjunction with him● and if this be done for the present France concurring in the same particulars it is apparant by Gods blessing that the King must needs overcome the Rebels if he can but keep his Person and the Princes out of their hands till his friends that are joyned in League with him can send more powerful assistance Though the Portion with the Princesse were as much as was demanded and paid by several parts as the prince of Orange should be able it were not possible by that to serve the King to any effect unlesse these things mentioned were together obtained whereby London might be impoverished which is and will be the fountain of all this mischief And on the other side let the Portion be never so small and ill paid yet if these things be done and the King by vertue of this Marriage enabled to borrow Money or by any means to appear stronger at Sea then they and at Land with the same power he hath formerly done by Gods blessing he will be quickly restored which will give all the world full satisfaction concerning this Treaty and make the conditions Honorable beyond all question Upon these considerations I believe your Lordship may approve what I wrote by Mr. D'estrade and send some Orders accordingly for proceeding in the Treaty of the Marriage apart from other things And for them besides what I am instructed to do already with the Prince of Orange it will be very necessary to write to Sir Will Boswel that upon the coming of the Holland Ambassadors from England he according to his Office be instant with the States to perform the duties of their former Alliances with the King and that he make such other Propositions to them as he shall judge fit But when the Prince of Orange shall finde matters succeed well it will be necessary that your Lordship in the quality of an Ambassador appear here to make a firm and quick conclusion In the mean time it is the opinion of the Prince of Orange that the businesse of shipping is without question the sole thing which ought to be intended by the Queen and may probably restore the Kings Affairs again though the Duke of Lorrains Voyage and the Prince of Oranges endeavours should fail When I wrote from Rotterdam I was not clearly satisfied in the advantages on the Kings part and since that the sicknesse of Dorp who is now perfectly recovered again and fixedly disposed as he was kept me from the particular pursuit of that Argument wherein your Lordship had just cause to be little encouraged with what I wrote before if it be possible to provide money it will prove an excellent Design for the whole execution is to be disposed of by the King as absolutely● as if they were English ships and the Commanders English the intention being not for P. and Q. but for honour and the service of the King for which purpose Dorp desires to have large and particular instructions also some person of trust and courage to be a ship-board with him by whom he might correspond with the Queen and that his Majesty would appoint some Ports to which all prizes might be brought and there judged which he desires should be principally 1. and there Officers of trust to be established which proceed from his Majesty as they do here for the States or at 〈…〉 for 〈…〉 all which shall be particularly set down under his own hand and before conclusion of the matter be made be considered by the Prince of Orange who talkes of this particular with pleasure The condition for himself is very short but very great to prescribe nothing but trust the King and Queen in that point but for his Officers he expects liberall pay and reward as it shall be deserved so that in all respects this is to be esteemed his Majesties royall execution but that the Commanders and Masters are strangers and ships hired And it is here pronounced by all that have knowledge of their Majesties affaires and any thoughts and endeavours for their restitution that this is so necessary to be done that without it all other good successes will but serve to protract the war and not at all to procure peace for till London be humbled the Rebell can never be reduced to reason but I know arguments in this kinde are not so needfull as prayers that God would send some means to provide the money For the Garter which is designed for the yong Prince it is very earnestly desired by them all and shall be constantly worne by the Prince in that manner as in England The Pr. of Orange desires that the King would write himself to him concerning it as also to the States and that it may be conferred after the same manner as it was to the P. Elector in the field if it might before the beleaguering of any Town begin but of these things both Sir William Boswell who hopes to be imployed in it and Master Hemfleet will write at large Dr. Goff to the Lord George Digby From the Hague May 1. Stilo vet. THe Dutch Ambassadors have been here these five dayes wherein they have begun their Report and behaved themselves so well that His Majesty cannot wish it better That the King may receive fruit of their Report it hath been proposed to the States to establish a Committee to hear and examine the particulars and to resolve what ought to be done The States of Holland do not absolutely refuse to have any such Committee but require the whole Narration to be made in publike if so it is like to vanish into air and the Prince of Orange will be able to effect nothing for the King However the Ambassador Borrel whose soul is set upon serving the King is resolved to attempt something which shall be very high and bold with the States to that end in the discourse he will make instructions I shall be able to send the Copy thereof not onely to your Lordship but to all the world It is not possible any creature can be more industrious then Hemflet is now Before this time I believe your Lordship hath received Letters from the Queen the honour of a Baron for his Son by the Lady Stanhop Charls Henry de Kirkeouz that he be created Lord Wotton and called by that name This is represented to your Lordship as the thing in the world most desired by them both that so in the issue of the eldest Daughter the name and family of Lord Wotton may be continued for which they have already taken care to provide an honorable subsistence Within a few dayes the Prince of Orange goes into the field before which our co●sis will be past if this Committee be setled something of great consequence may be hoped but if not it

is necessary that His Majesty think of some new Councels this ungrateful and will never serve Him My last was sent by Paris next week your Lordship shall receive another Letter from me Your Lordships most devoted faithful Servant Steph. Goff Lord Jermin to the Lord Digby Paris May 5. 1645. My Lord THere is this week come one from you another from the King by the way of the Portugal Ambassador of the 21 and 20 of March All your Letters that way are very long we perceive by them that some of ours go in ten dayes therefore your Messenger may be faulty I had another from you to day of the fourth of April sent me by one G. Martin you will do well to continue to write by that way there is in it onely the proposition for the Duke of Yorks going to Ireland to which the Queen not being yet well enough to speak of businesse desires you to stay till the next week for Her resolution She is now recovered of all but weaknesse a little cough and loosnesse do remain but neither are of danger or trouble You say that if the Queen could have been in estate to have sent the King any money if Her ship had come in time that would have kept Her from the want She spake of induced by the stop the credit that would have been raised by the return of the ship would certainly have enabled Her to have sent some So the thing is true She might have sent and yet that did not necessarily keep Her from wanting in the mean time She was reduced to pawn some little things for Her present supply but you shall hear no more of this matter She was promised some other wayes of supplying the King upon which were also built the assurances you received from Her in which She hath been delayed beyond expectation and what will yet be the issue is not to be known Hasdouck She hath found means at last to send away I hope he is before this arrived he hath good proportions of Arms and Ammunition I know not yet what I send you Doctor Goffs Letters of this week by which you will see and by those of the last what hopes there are of his Negotiation The next week will absolutely determine the Duke of Lorrains resolution the way proposed by the Prince of Orange of Treatying the Marriage a part and all the other matters by themselves ought to finde no difficulty on our part for he doth not expect no more then it is reasonable or possible we should that any thing be concluded in the Marri●ge until we have our reckoning in the rest The Queen doth therefore● desire that the King would send to Her with all the speed he can particular instructions for this Treaty of the Marriage wherein there may be only such things as according to their fancy in Holland for so they have expressed it pertain to a Treaty of Marriage as demands of portion assurance of joynture and what houses will be comprised in that joynture how Her own house shall be settled what officers She shall have and if you please to send a project of something in this kinde it will be very necessary and in the mean time they shall be entertained from hence with assurances that these things are coming and that if we can agree in others there can be no difficulty in those The Propositions of the execution which you will finde in Doctor G●ffs Letters is undoubtedly a great and useful designe and if we could by this Marriage bring that about and a Conjunction of France and Holland with the King that should be accompanied but with those advantages that inevitably ●low out of such a conjunction it would be a foundation laid against all possibility of ruining in this cause and it would give us certainly time and breath to overcome at last even if the present great helps of forces from either of them or the means of passing the Duke of Lorrain should fail For I must confesse by the last dispatch I am least confident of his intentions then I was I make you all this discourse to the end you should see that I conceive though the present fruits were expected from this Negotiation are not in so good hopes as I thought them heretofore Yet the Treaty in these more remote ones is to be continued and the news of this week doth much encourage me to this opinion for I finde all things in England in another kinde of posture then a moneth ago which I look on with great comfort the reputation of our affairs is increased to that point that if we decline not I should not despair that they might be willing here to proceed in the conjunction and ●●at would certainly bring in the States the onely reason why they here are so litt●e disposed to it is the apprehension of the Parli●ment ships believing that the onely power able to trouble them in their Designs of if our Design for our effect in Holland could be gone through with that might perchance be the greatest inducement here of any other to embark them in our affairs for which purpose I desire to know your opinion in one particular There must go on our part 200+0 Pistols to the setting forth of this execution if we should get the money here I would know whether you would chuse to have it imployed to that effect or sent to you We hear nothing yet of our Tin stayed at Falmouth there is 196 blocks pray remember to send an Order to Sir Nicholas Crisp and others who may be concerned in it to deliver it to any whom the Queen shall appoint to receive it if before she send they can have no good occasion to send it This Bearer Sir William Davenant is infinitely faithful to the Kings cause he hath been lately in Holland so that he met there the knowledge of our Treaty so that it was neither possible nor needful to conceal it from him the Treaty of the Marriage and the Proposition he knows the Design of the Duke of Lorrain he does not of the other two he will speak to you but charge him with secrefie for the Q●een doth still desire that the businesse of the Marriage may not be divulged and the other is destroyed if yet it should take vent Pray if Davenant have need of your favour in any thing use him very kindely for my sake and let him know I conjured you to do so you see by this I retain an opinion of some credit with you though your Letters be cold and lesse kinde then they were wont I am still in the same degree I have been most entirely Yours I hear Th Elliot is yet at Hanure de Grace which I am glad of you will have had by my former wherein I sent you my Letter to him and his Answer time to have resolved what to do in case my Letter should not be come it is not unfit to tell you again he received the Kings
