Upon the subject and complaint of Mr. Skelton, Envoye Extraordinary from the King of Great Brittain, touching the affair of Bantam, and other controversies at Macassar, and on the coast of Mallabar and at Gamron, in the Gulf of Persia. Likewise a justification in anwser to the several memorials lately given unto the States General by the Marques of Albeville, touching Meslepatam and other places in the Indies.
