follows, in connexion with his embassy to Spain and Portugal.
By order of Council of Nov. 23 last, the Treasury Lords were
ordered to take care that the assignments to the said Earl for
the principal and interest of the moneys expended by him in
his said embassy should satisfy the entire interest as well as
the principal, notwithstanding the same is not included in
the project made by the Treasury Lords and approved in
Council for the assigning and settling the expenses upon the
several branches of the revenue. By privy seal of Oct. 11
last 6,313l. 13s. 11d. was ordered him in settlement to that
date, which was the date of his returning into the King's
presence, but the said sum was not paid till July 20 last, and
the interest and gratuity on that sum for that period comes to
486l. 17s. 1d. Further, the privy seal of 1666, Nov. 29,
ordered him 6,000l., but this sum was only paid as follows,
1,000l. on April 30 last, 2,000l. May 18 last, and 3,000l. May
19 last: and the interest and gratuity hereon from the said
Oct. 11 last to the said several dates of payment come to 357l.
6s. 1d. Further, the privy seal of 1667 8. Feb. 20, ordered
him 5,000l. on his said embassy, which sum is not yet paid.
The payment of the two interest sums of 486l. 17s. 1d. and
357l. 6s. 1d. is hereby authorised, as also any interest due or
that shall grow due at the rate of 6 per cent. interest and 4
per cent. reward on the aforesaid 5,000l., until such time as
that sum shall be actually paid to the Earl of Sandwich. |

Sir G. Downing to Lord Ashley. I came to town last Friday,
where I found the Lord General and Sir John Duncombe.
Alderman Backwell has promised to pay into the Exchequer
to-day 8,222l. on the credit of the Customs for discharge of
the Treasury of the Chamber bills. but for the 10,000l. which
he had promised Sir John Duncombe to lend upon the land
revenue he positively refused to lend one penny of it, notwithstanding his promise. But at last I did prevail with him
to lend 5,000l., and it is yesterday paid into the Exchequer,
and this is all I could do with him, but he says he would lend
10,000l. or 20,000l. more on the Customs though never so
remote. So that there is yet wanting the sum of
[to meet the sums] charged to be paid on the loans on the
land revenue. On Sunday night the King gave order for 200l.
for the Earl of Bristol as of his free gift, and the day before
he gave orders with earnestness for so much pay to the huntsmen and serjeant of the Buckhounds as came to 1,502l.,
whereby the list is charged with 1,702l. more, and no more
new warrants have been signed.
Upon Saturday night last a docquet was brought me appointing eight commissioners to manage the revenue of Ireland for
the farmers thereof, and each of them to have 500l. per an.
out of the King's revenue: a copy whereof for your further
satisfaction I herewith send you. The next morning I
acquainted the Lord General and Sir John Duncombe therewith, who presently attended His Majesty and received his
direction that it shall be considered in the afternoon, whilst
he [the King] should be at the Committee for Foreign Affairs:
which was done, and upon debate His Majesty ordered the
stopping of the docquet, but [conceded] that they [the
farmers] might have a commission for what Commissioners
and as many as they pleased, they paying them themselves.
This is all of moment that hath passed. I intend to-morrow
for Cambridgeshire, but to be here again on Monday week in
order to any business that may occur by that time. |

Appending:—Copy of the aforesaid docquet, dated Aug. 27, as

and Robert Gorges to put in execution all the laws and statutes
concerning the several branches of your Majesty's revenue in
Ireland lately demised to John Forth, William Bucknall, and
others your Majesty's farmers thereof, and to continue during
the several term of years to them granted: and your Majesty
hereby grants them the yearly salary of 500l. apiece to be
paid by your farmers out of the rents by their lease reserved:
with power to constitute Sub-Commissioners and other officers
and to keep an office and give accounts to the Farmers and to
pay over all such moneys as they receive to the said Farmers
with such other powers as are usual in commissions of this
