standing unresolved betwixt Peace and Warre I find by Monsieur Barrillon that it is like some Places which are dependances upon greater Towns may be demanded by the King of France but if he intend a Peace which you will do very well to know his mind fully in you may justly say That you hope he will neither stand upon one single Place tho a fortified one nor upon any Place unfortified which is a dependant upon those which are to be restored to Spain And if any thing shall be moved about Sicily to remain in the French hands till the Peace of Sweden be concluded you are onely to say That you are not impowred to say any thing upon it and you are confident the King hath done all he could to get the utmost Conditions that would be consented to Onely you are to say The King hath again sent about Conde not being well satisfied that they have not left in his Power to give or refuse as he should have found it convenient and hopeth still for some good answer In case the Conditions of Peace shall be accepted the King expects to have Six Millions of Livres yearly for three years from the time that this agreement shall be signed between his Majestie and the King of France because it will be two or three years before he can hope to find his Parliament in humour to give him Supplies after the having made any Peace with France The Embassador here hath agreed to the Summe but not for so long a time but if you find the Peace will not be accepted you are not to mention the Money at all and all care must be taken to have this whole Negotiation as private as possible for fear of giving offence at home where for the most part we hear in ten dayes after any thing that is communicated to the French Ministers I must again repeat to you That whatsoever you write on this Subject to the Secretary to whom you must not mention one syllable of the Money you must say onely as a thing you believe they will consent to if you had power formally to make these demands Pray inform your self of the bottom of what is to be expected from France and assure them That you believe this will be the last time that you shall receive any Propositions of a Peace if these be slighted as indeed I believe they will so that you may take your own measures as well as the King 's upon it I am Your Excellencie's most Faithful and obedient Servant Danby Mr. MONTAGU'S Letter to the LORD TREASURER Dated Paris Jan. 11th 1677 8. My Lord I Have not had the honour of any from your Lordship in answer to all those wherein I gave you the best account I could of matters here by the Express I sent Nor indeed could I expect his Majestie could take any suddain resolution in matters of so great moment The occasion of my giving you this trouble is to give you the best light I can into the reason of Mr. de Rouvigny's Son's Journey into England who will be there perhaps as soon as this Letter If his Father's Age would have permitted it I believe they would have sent him so they have chosen the Son who is to make use of Lights his Father will give him and by the near Relation he hath to my Lady Vaughan who is his Cousin-German and the particular Friendship which Father and Son have with Mr. William Russell he is to be introduced into a great commerce with the Malecontented Members of Parliament and insinuate what they shall think fit to cross your Measures at Court if they shall prove disagreeable here whilest Monsieur Barrillon goes on in his smooth civil way I thought it my duty to his Majestie to give your Lordship this account tho I have not explained this matter so much in my Letter to the Secretary wherefore I hope you will let this be seen by none but his Majestie What I know farther of this or any thing else you shall always be acquainted with They are here in great pain till it will be known what will become of the Parliament and do not stick to say If that be put off for a Month they doubt not of a Peace I am with all respect My Lord Your Lordships Most obedient and humble Servant R. Mountagu Another of Mr. MONTAGU'S Letters to the Lord Treasurer Dated Paris Jan. 18th 1677 8. My Lord SInce I sealed up my Letter by my Lord Dumblane I have had one with me who is very exactly as can be informed of most things here and hath told me the reason of Rouvigny's Journey His chief Errand is to let the King know That the King of France did hope he was so firm to him as not to be led away by the Grand Treasurer who was an Ambitious Man and to keep himself well with the People would gratifie their inclinations by leading his Master unto an unreasonable Warre against France That as for Money if he wanted it he should have what he would from hence His Instructions are if this does not take by the means of Will. Russell and other discontented people to give a great deal of Money and cross all your Measures at Court When he gives you his Father's Letter of Recommendation you cannot chuse but be very kind to him since the chief part of his Journey is to do you so good Offices My Lord if I might be worthy to give my advice who see things upon the place There could be nothing better done than after he hath been two dayes in England for the King to give the Order to tell Monsieur Barrillon That he knowes Rouvigny hath a Relation and Commerce with people ill-affected to the Government and would be therefore glad to have him retire You cannot imagin how it would damp them here when they shall see their little tricks do not pass upon us And Old Rouvigny that values himself upon knowing England and having saved so much Money as he had by what I told you formerly order to give hath given it them for a Maxim That they must diminish your Credit before they can do any good in England But since their chief Quarrel to you is the being so true to your Master's Interest I am sure he is too just to let them do you any hurt If the King is for a Warre you know what to do if he hearkens to their Money be pleased to let me know what they offer and I dare answer to get our Master as much again for Barrillon's Orders are to make the Market as low as he can I am c.
