must be long away and suffer much damage. They did so when they last went there. Moreover, their despatch may involve the Queen in a war. But if the Queen approves the immediate despatch of a fourth-rate to the Cape and another to St. Helena, and that two more vessels should afterwards be sent to St. Helena, they can be got ready as soon as her Majesty's approval is given. If, however, the East India Company sends away an advice-boat to the Cape and three ships are sent next month to St. Helena, we think the Queen's other occasions will be better complied with, and .the home-coming merchantmen secured against anything but a squadron of the enemy, from which even the full force the Company desire would not save them if they met it. We find that in the late war all that was done was to appoint cruisers to wait for these home-coming merchant ships in the Soundings, and to escort them 200 leagues to sea upon going out. Pp. 1J.

I am here a prisoner of war, taken at Vigo by Sir G. Rooke. He took me under arms with M. Begon, my brother-in-law, who is wounded and deprived of [the use of] an eye, who is a son of M. Begon, Intendant of La Rochelle, and of the Navy. We beg you to move the Queen that we may stay here for medical treatment on whatever terms you please. I want treatment for rheumatism and my brother-in-law for his eye, which he may lose. I will send medical and surgical certificates. I hope for the Queen's favour.

[21 Dec.] DRAFT of INSTRUCTIONS for VICE-ADMIRAL BENBOW.
These instructions, by her Majesty's command, are to supersede all earlier orders sent from me to you.
1. You are to come home with your ships next June, and with such ships of war of the States General as shall be appointed to accompany you. In all Councils of War relating to the actions in the Queen's service by land or sea forces in which the said States' forces are to join, you are to act in concert with the officers of the States, as has been usual in this and the late war.
2. But, before you leave the West Indies :
(a) Leave at Jamaica two 4th rate, one 5th rate and one 6th rate ships leaving those you think it best to leave and the two fireships that were fitted by that Government, to guard that island.
(6) Appoint the three ships of your squadron which you think most suitable to come home as convoy with the merchant ships which, it is stated, are now in large numbers there, awaiting convoy home. Leave also two other ships with orders to be ready to come home as convoy to such merchant ships as are ready to come away at the beginning of August

next, call at Plymouth, and, failing orders there, come on to the Downs.
(c) When leaving the West Indies, detail two proper ships with orders to their commander in chief to go to Virginia and act as convoy to any merchantmen which may be coming home thence, and to come to Plymouth for orders &c ; (as foregoing paragraph) .
(d) Detail another ship to go to New York and convoy home the Benjamin transport, which is now loading masts and stores for her Majesty's Navy, and to bring her home at once, and such other trade as may be bound home from New York and new England, and be ready to sail home with him.
3. On your way home call, with the ships of the States appointed to be with you, at Newfoundland, if you think the season will admit of your doing it with safety, and do your utmost to destroy the enemy at Placentia and any other of their harbours and stages. When doing this, detach one or two ships to do the same to the French fishery on the Bank, taking steps to have them rejoin you when you leave Newfoundland.
4. Imprest no men from privateers unless you want them for your squadron, and even then, take no more than is absolutely necessary.
5. If you have impressed, or impress, any men belonging to Jamaica, or have had them from that Government, restore them before you leave, or at least so many of them as you can safely restore.
6. When leaving Newfoundland take all English merchantmen under your care and appoint some of your ships to convoy those which may be bound for Portugal and see them safe into the Portuguese ports. Order the commander of such convoy to go first to Lisbon and then to port [Oporto], and then to come home without further stay.

We have sent to Oxford all the French prisoners of note except the Marquis [de la] Gallissonniere, Count [de] Mornay, M. des Coyeux, M. du Chatell and M. Begon, who are indisposed and will follow as soon as their health will permit. It will be costly in guards to keep these [at Oxford] confined in their chambers, and we think they would be most secure on their parole to remain prisoners at war and not remove from their lodgings without orders.

JOSIAH BURCHETT to NOTTINGHAM.
As recommended last Sunday night by her Majesty in Council, the Prince's Council have this evening discoursed with several gentlemen of the East India Company regarding the ships they desire for protection [home] from St. Helena and against pirates in India.
We told them how many necessities pressed upon the service ; and in the end they departed satisfied in case her Majesty will let them have three fourth-rates to secure their trade in from St. Helena and one fourth and one fifth to proceed throughout to India. The Prince's Council think this reasonable, as, by the uniting of the two companies, very considerable effects are expected home.
They desire the Queen's commands therein that the necessary orders may be given.

The Duke of Marlborough has been instructed to punish the officer responsible for the recent ill-treatment of French prisoners at Southampton. You may tell Count de Mornay this ; also that I am considering the French observations on the cartel : but, meantime, that we are ready to exchange man for man, and to send away as many Frenchmen as there are Englishmen in France. As we are at war with France and Spain and have

There is in the Downs and at Portsmouth, a considerable fleet of merchant ships bound for Portugal (being more than 100 sail) wherein petitioners have exported great quantities of woollen and other goods, and have given orders to import great quantities of wine and other goods which, when they come, will greatly import the Queen's customs. Petitioners' goods will suffer by delay. They are, many of them, part owners of the vessels and have lost cables &c. by bad weather, and by wages, provisions and damage to perishable corn,* during the delay.
They pray that the convoy promised by your Royal Highness may take the above ships under their charge and proceed on their voyage as soon as wind and weather will permit. P. (large}.

I did not receive from your lordship any directions in relation to James Wilson, the boy under sentence. 'Tis grown a very common offence and requires some examples of justice to prevent the growth of it. It is mostly acted by boys and managed by others. This premised by Mrs. Whitle, who was burnt in the face as accessory, and this boy had judgment as principal, and proved by Haynes, his partner, a boy too. But this Haynes I caused to be brought before me, and he declares on oath that

one Richard Cheney, a soldier under Major Shrimpton, and an old offender, was the chief manager of Wilson and Haynes both, and very frequently went out with them a thieving. Wilson has charged his father to have received 10s., part of the robbery. His father is a bad man.
My Lord, I fear this boy has been enticed and encouraged between these two ill men, and is in danger to be their sacrifice unless the Queen will please to respite execution, which I humbly wish, the rather because I am in further prosecution of the matter, and have this day committed " Cheney " to Newgate for robbery. I have enclosed a warrant against " Chany " on the oath of the father Wilson, who neglected to execute it. I know not why, unless it was fear of a discovery that he or his woman (not wife) had had part of the prize. They say that " Cheney " had 31. of it, and Cheney says they had a share. I shall be obliged by a line from your lordship before Wednesday next, that being the day for the execution.

27 Dec. SIR THOMAS HOPSONN to [NOTTINGHAM].
I intercede on behalf of Captain Urry, who lies condemned by a Court-Martial to be shot. I am grieved that this [shame] falls upon his family, for I remember " when I was a youth in the Isle of Wight that his father had the character of a very loyal gentleman, and when King Charles I was made prisoner in Carsbrooke Castle he privately amongst his friends made up a purse of gold and gave it to the King, who was then in want." I could say more, but merely beg for his pardon. He is ancient, and has an ancient wife, who is now on her death-bed, and begs that they may see each other before they die. She is very weak, and if this liberty can be granted before the Council sits, I will be responsible for his forthcoming, for I know him to be an honest man. The Court-Martial was equal on both sides, so that
