Gen. Carpentur (Carpenter) (in the absence of Mr. Stanhope) on the part of her late Majesty and by Count Atalaya on the part of the King of Portugal wherein it is stipulated that the said sum of 103,100l. 10s. 0d. should be paid by the year for the said Troops” and being likewise in pursuance of a warrant of General Stanhope: and the acquittances for said sum being produced together with her late Majesty's warrant directing the allowance thereof. 85,526l. 8s. 9d. paid to the said [Portuguese] Troops for their pay for the year 1711 (the said two years' payments amounting together to 188,626l. 18s. 9d.), the said second year's payment being paid in pursuance of the said Convention and a warrant of the Earl of Barrymore, then Commander in Chief of the late Queen Anne's Forces in Spain, grounded upon lists of effectives signed by the Commissary General of the said Troops, which the accomptant [Earl of Carnarvon] alleges to be the only method of mustering practised by them: and the acquittances for same being produced together with the late Queen's warrant directing the allowance thereof; but no Establishment having been made nor regular muster rolls taken of these Troops by her said late Majesty's Commissaries, and therefore the Auditor conceives that same cannot be allowed without the authority of a privy seal: 41,000l. 15s. 0d. paid on account of her late Majesty's proportion of the pay of the Palatine Troops which served in Catalonia from 9 May 1709 to 31 Dec. 1711: being paid without muster rolls but being in pursuance of a Convention between the late Queen Anne, the States General and the Elector Palatine and according to an Establishment by the said Queen: 2,009l. 17s. 8d. paid upon account of Queen Anne's share of the extraordinaries of the said Palatines in the year 1710 by virtue of the said Convention and according to the certificates of Monsieur Slingelandt, Secretary to the Council of the States General, setting forth the whole charge [of the said extraordinaries] and that the States General had ordered payment of their moiety accordingly; which having been taken as the rate for payments of this nature in preceding accounts may [the Auditor thinks] be likewise allowed by privy seal: 12,527l. 19s. 0¼d. paid on account of the subsistence of a Regiment of Grisons upon orders of his Imperial Majesty as King of Spain and in pursuance of the warrants of Mr. Stanhope, her late Majesty's General, and an Establishment signed by her said Majesty: which may be similarly allowed notwithstanding the want of muster rolls. 15,277l. 6s. 10¼d. paid on account of the Spanish Regiment of Foot and two Troops of Horse that served in Alicante; according to a Regulation or Establishment made by his Imperial Majesty's Ministers and in pursuance of orders of his said Majesty and warrants of the Earl of Galway, the late Queen Anne's General: but there being no Establishment made by her late Majesty or muster rolls taken for these Troops: wherefore the same cannot be allowed without the like authority. 16,267l. 12s. 1d. paid on account of the subsistence of a Regiment of Horse commanded first by Major General Hogan, afterwards by Sir Daniel Carrol [O'Carroll], on account of their subsistence in the years 1710 and 1711: and 19,386l. 5s. 6d. paid on account of the subsistence of another Regiment of Horse commanded by the Marques D'Assa in 1710 and 1711 [both sums being paid] in pursuance of warrants from the Earl of Galway, her late Majesty's General, who formed the said Regiments in 1710 out of Spanish and Irish deserters, in pursuance of an order in Council signified by Secretary Dartmouth: but no Establishment being made of the said Regiments by the late Queen Anne or muster rolls taken of them: wherefore the said sums cannot be allowed but by privy seal: 3,623l. 3s. 6d. paid in 1710 upon account of the subsistence of the Spanish Regiment of Foot raised in Portugal and commanded by the Earl of Galway and was issued upon the said late Queen's Establishment and by warrant of the said Earl as Commander in Chief of her Forces in that country: but no muster rolls produced: 109,321l. 13s. 9¾d. paid to Antonio Belvitges and Joseph Larissa and Company, undertakers for supplying the Army in Spain with draught and mule carriage for bread and for the Train of Artillery for the service of the year 1710: the same having been paid in pursuance of a warrant from General Stanhope (who was authorised to take care of this service by the late Queen's Instructions), whereby this accomptant's deputy in Spain was directed to pay the said undertakers according to the orders he received from the King of Spain, the contract being made with his [said] Majesty and the account of the performance thereof [being] rendered to and examined by his [said Majesty's] officers. 33,250l. paid for this [abovesaid] service in the year 1711 pursuant to warrants of the Duke of Argyll, the [then] General of her Majesty's Forces in Spain, and upon like orders of the King of Spain: which sum is also directed to be allowed by her late Majesty's royal sign manual: the said two sums amounting together to 142,571l. 13s. 9¾d.; for which the acquittances, warrants and orders are produced but not the accounts of the said undertakers nor the vouchers of the service done by them; wherefore the Auditor conceives the same cannot be allowed without a privy seal. 112,042l. 9s. 4½d. paid in 1710 and 37,970l. 19s. 3½d. paid in 1711 to his Imperial Majesty on account of his subsidy as King of Spain to enable his Majesty to subsist, clothe and provide all other necessaries for the Spanish Troops raised and kept on foot by him in Spain and towards the maintenance of his Majesty and his Household: which sums making together 150,013l. 8s. 8d. appear to have been paid in pursuance of his Majesty's orders and by warrants of the Generals of her late Majesty's Forces [as] in part of the yearly sum of 210,000l. allowed upon the Establishment signed by her late Majesty towards paying the Troops of his Catholic Majesty and the extraordinaries of the war (being in part of the money granted by Parliament towards paying the said Troops and the extraordinaries of the war);

for which sums, making together 260,000l., the acquittances are produced, but no muster rolls of the said [13,000] Troops or any warrants for the payments made in 1711, wherefore they cannot be allowed without a privy seal, “by which authority the payments made on this head have been formerly allowed to this accomptant and his predecessor.” 5,414l. 15s. 4d. paid in 1709 and 6,564l. 1s. 9¾d. paid in 1710 and 5,315l. 11s. 4d. paid in 1711, making together 17,294l. 8s. 5¾d., for the allowance or Half Pay to several Officers en second after their being superseded by the return of the Premier Officers whose posts had been filled during their imprisonment by [the French], the said Officers en second being paid according to her late Majesty's Establishment or in pursuance of her commands signified by the Secretary at War: but as no warrants are produced they must similarly be allowed by privy seal to the said accomptant [the Earl of Carnarvon] upon his producing the certificates of the Commissaries that the said Officers were alive and not otherwise provided for and likewise producing proper acquittances for [the payments of] the same. 184l. 12s. 11d. paid by this accomptant for [Office] fees for warrants and orders for receiving the money issued for the service of the Forces in Spain and Portugal, the same appearing to be the usual fees and allowed in preceding accounts.
