859. Carleton to Chamberlain. Is heartily sorry for the blow
our men have received in the East Indies, and wishes it lay any way
in his power to repair it ; "for howsoever the committees of the
Company have used me first by neglect and since by mocking both
myself and my friends who sought to have me remembered, yet
their discourtesy cannot make me forgetful of the honor of our
nation in general, nor insensible of the Company's loss in particular,
and as I have always done, so shall I continue to furiher their affairs
as if I had an adventure amongst them." Believes more blows will
be heard of before news of the accord can be with them in the East
Indies, for our men will assuredly seek revenge, though they be
much weakened by their loss. Has received his Majesty's orders to
complain and require restitution. [Extract from Holland Corresp.]

860. Carleton to Sec. Naunton. Has acquainted the Prince of
Orange with the outrages of the Hollanders upon his Majesty's
subjects in the East Indies, the men they had slain, the ships and
goods taken by open hostility, and their scornful speeches and actions
in contempt of his Majesty, of all which he was very sensible, but
doubted whether they could have received news of the accord
betwixt the two Companies ; however, he concluded that restitution
must be duly made. Hopes to find the States no less well inclined,
intending next week when M. Goch is to be President to demand
audience of them in their assembly. [Extract from Holland
Corresp.]

861. Jefferies, Purifie, and Amye, to Edward Monox (at Court).
Arrival of Morat, their servant, with the caffila of 150 asses ; send
him to Monox according to his order. Commodities sold and their
value ; the English factory has been much abused. Their present of
dogs is almost come to nothing, Twig, Swan, and one of the beagles
grew mad, whereof they died, albeit Fras. Mason hath taken great
pains with them. "The coach is brought again into his pride," and
will he believes prove an acceptable present. The pictures dried
and spoiled. "We took out the horse, which was in best condition,
and washed him in white wine, and have put him up again." Remembrances
to Hobbes. [Three pages and a half. O.C., Vol. VII.,

864. Carleton to Sec. Naunton. Incloses a proposition he presented
to the States General complaining, in his Majesty's name, of
the late outrage committed upon his subjects in the East Indies, and
demanding restitution. The President's answer ; he could not conceive
the accord between the two Companies was known there at
the time. Carleton referred to Sir Thos. Roe and the Dutch admiral's
letters in the Bear, one of the ships taken by their men. Complaint
of Sir Thos. Dale's first attempt upon their men in those peaceable
parts by Bantam. Assurances that the article of mutual restitution
should be faithfully performed, and those who had so much forgot
themselves towards his Majesty by their insolent words and
demeanour severely punished. The pinnaces of advice only left
England the end of August last, and Holland the beginning of
October. Incloses,

867. Sec. Naunton to Carleton. To deal freely with him as his
Majesty's secret minister, believes firmly that the foul and base
abuses offered by the vile speeches their men have needlessly and
impertinently used towards his Majesty's person with a boorish
insolency, when they so treacherously and savagely abused his Majesty's
subjects both in Greenland and in the East Indies, and their
delays of restitution, notwithstanding their promises to have made
all good within three months after June last, and their universal
undermining our men's trade in all places, "I say all these continued
provocations accumulated I fear have already bred that disdain in
his Majesty's generous heart, that he is apt to expect better and more
sincere dealing from the Spaniard than from them, and will find it
more kindly for him to join with a monarch that seeks his friendship
than with them that bear themselves as natural enemies to all
monarchies. I pray God this impression be not too deeply struck
already. Sure I am there want not prompters at his ear to make it
their advantage for their private ends, go the public of either church
or common wealth on as they may. And I pray God that these
misunderstandings prove not an occasion to prejudice the common
profession of religion, which I know our master loves in his heart,
and hates nothing more than that men should make a pretext and a
bridge of it to pass over to their own designs which they are
ashamed to profess." Has thus delivered our master's answer to
Carleton's proposition with his own true conceit, which he knows
Carleton will keep secret and make the best use of he can for
rectifying all misunderstandings. [Extract from Holland Corresp.]
