FACTVM For the English Merchants interessed in the debts contracted in the Levant by the Earle of Cery heretofore Embassadour for the Most Christian King at Constantinople Against the Arrest or Sentence of the said Kings Councell given at Paris the last day of December 1644. IN the yeare 1620. the said Monsieur de Ceri having borrowed of the said interessed and afterwards of severall Merchants French Flemish Turks Persians and Jewes divers somes of mony by order of the Mar●eillois to cause an Excise of two and a half per centum to be taken away which the Turks had imposed upon the warres brought from those parts into France by the French by meanes of those borrowed somes caused the said Excise to cease and by his rekoning remayned Debtor to the said English of the summe of 48500. Piasters or Dollars in capitall which still is due unto them with the interests of it from the said yeare 1620. after the rate of 33. 25. 23. and 20. for hundred per annum interest upon interest according they have payed themselves after the use of Pera by Constantinople and as his Most Christian Majesty hath adjudged and caused to be payed to the rest of the said Creditors of the said Monsieur de Cery viz to the Turks Jewes Persians and others 33. 25. and 23. per. centum not only of their capitall but also of their interests gathered with the principall to John Scaich a French Merchant 20 l. per centum And likewise to the said Monsieur de Ceri who made himself to be subrogated for some small summes 20. for hundred per annum of which he was really payed Nota That the said English seeing how hardly they were used by the said Monsieur de Ceri and since by Monsieur de la Picardiere and other Ministers of France at Constantinople and over charged with the huge interests that run over them for want of payment of the said capitall and interests were forced many times to addresse their complaints since the yeare 1622. to the Most Christian King deceased by the Embassadours and Agents of his Majesty which from time to time did remaine in the Court of France and that having complained among others of an unjust liquidation made by the said la Picardiere in the yeare 1630. by which he adjudged to the Turks and others Creditors aforesaid their capitall and interest upon interest as it is said and nothing to the said English but only their capitall of 48500. Piasters without any interest his Most Christian Majesty upon complaint of that most shamefull distinction ordained by his arrest or sentence of the 14. October 1632. that it should be proceeded to a new liquidation both by the said Monsieur de la Picardiere and Monsieur de Marcheville which was sent into the Levant an Embassadour in stead of the said Monsieur de Ceri And by that same arrest or sentence the Consulls and commerce of the City of Marseille were put in possession of a Farme of 3. per centum established by his said Majesty for the acquitance of the said debts upon all the wares which should be brought from the Levant and Barbary into France upon condition to acquit the said Monsieur de Ceri towards his Creditors and to pay them the summes which should be found due unto them And to the end the said liquidation should be made agreeable and pleasing to every one his Most Christian Majesty caused many of his letters to be sent to the said Monsieur de Marcheville and Monsieur de la Picardiere to intreat the Embassadours of Venice and Holland to be present therein and to work jointly with them to the said liquidation the Consulls of Marseille being present or duely called which was done in such a manner that the said Embassadours and the said Monsieur de la Picardiere after they had many and severall times heard the said Deputies of Marseille the said Creditors and the English Embassadour for the said English gave many and severall judgements to the benefit of the said Creditors the tenth of January 1634. by which they confirmed the liquidation made in the yeare 1630. to the benefit of the others Creditors adjudged yet unto them more interests for the yeares 1631. 32 and 1633. And as for the English Merchants they regulated their principall and interests of the said three yeares to 64700. Piasters and condemned the said Monsieur de Ceri to pay them the said summe And because by the said arrest or sentence of the Consull of the eleventh of October 1632 it was ordained that the Consulls of Marseille should acquit the debts of the said Monsieur de Ceri out of the mony of the said Farme the said Embassadours did also condemne the said Consulls of Marseille to pay the said summe to the said English within six moneths to the acquittance of the said Monsieur de Ceri And for the interest of the yeares 1621. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. and 1630. demaunded by the said English they remitted them to the Councell of his Most Christian Majesty to be provided for In consequence of that Judgement the said English the 13. November 1637. caused the said Consulls of Marseille and other Farmors of the said Excise of 3. per centum to be called before the said Councell in the name of Rene Augier their attorney to see themselves condemned to pay them the said 64700. Piasters with the interest reserved by the said Judgement and others expired and to expire as also their charges and dammages as possessors of the revenue of the said Farme established for payment of the said debts But in stead of receiving any satisfaction after foure yeares pursuite though their right had been recommended by this present Parliament to his Majesty and by him to the Most Christian King Justice was absolutely denied unto them by the said Councell as it may be justified by the certificate that the Earle of Leicester then Embassadour extraordinary for his Majesty into France delivered them under his hand the fourth of May 1642. a little after his returne into England And although the said interessed might in consequence of the said certificate appeale to this Parliament for the liquidation of their debt and obtaine the meanes for their satisfaction yet upon the alterations happened in the governement and administration of the affaires in the said Courts of France since the Cardinal of Richelieus death they were adviced to trie once more the faire meanes And to that effect Laurence Greene the chief interessed in the said debts haveing repaired to Oxford under the warrant of the said Parliament and from thence being come to Paris with letters from his Majesty of great Brittaine directed to the Queene Regent mother to the most Christian King and having begun againe the former proceedings of this businesse in the name of the said Augier they were so far from receiving more satisfaction than before that to the contrary since the cōming of
