281. Sec. Calvert to (Carleton). Marvels that the States Ambassadors should pretend ignorance of the King's declaration in
those points concerning the East Indies and Greenland [see ante,
No. 250], seeing that his Majesty delivered it to them vivâ voce in
every particular at Whitehall at their last audience, as my Lords
Commissioners can witness who were then present and himself
amongst the rest [see ante, No. 258], besides it was sent unto them
in writing by Sec. Conway the next day. But a man may see by
this omnia quœ curant senes meminerunt, and nothing else. [Extract from Holland Corresp.] |

282. (Carleton) to Sec. Calvert. The States have been chiefly
busied in according the difference betwixt the Bewinthebbers of their
East India Company and the Participants, and in finding money for
the satisfaction of our East India Company, on which those of this
country do labour to put a great part on the Generality, and these
things remain still undecided, though the Assembly which hath the
chief voice in the chapter of the Generality separated on Saturday
last. * * * * * * The fleet fitting out at Gore, is augmented to 13 sail, in which are to go 1,500 land-men. The design
remains yet secret in three men's breasts only, but in all conjecture
it is for the West Indies or the islands that way. [Extract from
Holland Corresp.] |

283. Locke to Carleton. The business between the East India

order from the Privy Council to make them do it. [Extract from

285. Petition of Robt. Salmon and Elizabeth his wife, late wife
of Capt. Robert Bonner, deceased, to the Privy Council. Robt.
Bonner, captain of the Dragon, who was slain by the Hollanders in
the East Indies in 1619, before his death, delivered to the factors of
the East India Company 1,000 ryals of eight, to be repaid to his
executors in England. The Company after detaining the ryals
three years and five months paid the petitioners in February
last, but allowed only 5s. upon the dollar (sic) the ordinary
exchange being 10s. the ryal. The Company being too great
for the petitioners to deal with by ordinary course of law,
they pray that the Governor and committees may be summoned
before the Privy Council, and order given for them to do what is
reasonable. [Domestic Corresp., Jac. I., Vol. CXL., No. 83, Cal.,
p. 545.] |
