opening to my Lord President My Lord President says he lockt them up unopened in a close Cabinet in his Closet-room where no body comes there they were that Night and the next Day he carried them intire to the King and some of them were read by the King in the Presence of my Lord President and they were all taken away again by his Lordship no more nor no less and my Lord President brought them all to the Cabinet-Council where they were read and were delivered to my Lord Sidney My Lord Sydney swears these Papers now produced are the same Papers he had from my Lord President and my Lord President swears that they are the same he received by Billop from my Lord Nottingham and my Lord Sydney markt them So that there can remain no doubt of these being the same Papers that were contained in the Pacquet that was taken out of the Bosom of Mr. Ashton Then as to the Matter of the Papers I think it is plain beyond all contradiction that the Import of them is Treasonable They shew a Design of invading the Kingdom by a Foreign Force and of Deposing the King and Queen from the Government and of setting the late King upon the Throne It is agreed as it is mentioned at a Conference between several Noblemen and Gentlemen that were of the Whigg and Tory Party as they call them that the late King was to be restored though by a French Power It was impossible for them to effect it by going plainly to work and saying in plain Words the French should invade us It was to be done in this manner The French King must pretend by all means to be our Friend and a Mediator betwixt the late King and the People of England and this was out of design plainly to get a Party of the Kingdom to joyn with them the most credulous and inconsiderate sort of People who when they should be seduced into a Belief of the French King 's great Kindness It was not doubted but there would be a Conjunction between them and the French Forces to restore the late King And to procure such a Perswasion in the People the French King was to shew himself kind to the English Protestants to appear and act another part than he had formerly done he was to permit them the Exercise of the Protestant Religion thereby to perswade many that his Persecution of his own Subjects the Hugonots was not out of any Aversion to the Protestant Religion but only to their Antimonarchical and Resisting Principles Then an Inconvenience is to be removed for they complain that they are too full of Bigottry at St. Germains and too bare-faced For they make an open Profession of Popery and speak truly what they do intend but say they if they will have the Design take effect they must be more Close and Secret For the Folly and Bigottry at St. Germains was a very great Obstruction Therefore they proposed that some Persons might be substituted as Agents to Correspond here that understood the Temper of the Nation and what would easiliest prevail with the People And a Model was to be framed at St. Germains the Protestants are to be seemingly caressed Seven or Nine to be of the late King's Councel that so we might believe that he was ours in Interest again and that we have a Relation to him And if things were carried with such cunning and subtilty they hoped to delude a great many People over into the Interest of the late King but if they went bare-faced it would cause such great Jealousies that they must totally despair of Success Yet they did not hope by these Artifices to obtain so many Friends here as might have been sufficient to accomplish their Design but they must have recourse to a forreign Force particularly a French Force For says one of the Papers Vse Foreigners to expel Foreigners that is Use French Foreigners to expel Dutch Foreigners who are our Allyes and are falsly accused by them to have trampled upon the Rights and Liberties of the Nation There is one Argument used to encourage People to assist the French in the Invasion of their own Country which I cannot omit namely That as soon as the French with a considerable Expence of Men and Mony had restored the Protestant Religion the late King to the Crown and the People to their Liberties then he would withdraw all his Forces and reap no Profit or Advantage by his Success I must confess this carries so little of Persuasion in it that it is ridiculous to think thereby to impose upon any number of Men. But notwithstanding the weakness of their Arguments it is apparent they were in good earnest the Papers give an account to the French in what state and condition our Forts were Portsmouth not man'd with above 500. and Gosport how weakly fortifyed It was a happy juncture between this and the first of March when Advice is given to make use of the Opportunity For Men cannot give but Men may use Opportunities and something was to be done forthwith and the Goods must be got in readiness particularly the Linnen and the Copper are mentioned which are mysterious and dark Expressions and you may put a Construction upon them as well as I for they are written in a style of Trade as if there were a Correspondence between two Tradesmen and the Linnen and the Copper are ordered to be brought before the 10th of March But however obscure some of these Expressions are there are others that are more plain That the French Fleet must be out in April at farthest and are to come before the Conjunction between the English and the Dutch and Jennings Strickland or Trevannian are to come from St. Mallo's in one Night and to fight the English Fleet in the Chops of the Channel and not to come so high as Beathy where they came the last Year And there is an account given in what condition and state our Navy was how many Ships what Rates how Man'd and who the Officers and then as the French were to be in readiness to come in April so they say our Fleet was not to be out till June Gentlemen There are a great many other Particulars but these are enough nay half of them were enough to make any Man guilty of Treason that was concerned in them or that had a hand in carrying or making use of them Besides there are other Letters which can import nothing but the Writer was of the late King's Interest one directed to Mr. Redding the other to Mrs. Redding and these were to go to France to let them know how zealous he was in his Duty and how the interest of the young Master increased The Letters have these Expressions That though the Family were decreased yet our Interest is increased which is yours and I speak in the Plural Number because I speak the Sentiments of my elder Brother and the rest of our Relations and desire them to
