Description

Folio 89. RY [Robert Yard] reporting to Sir Jo [Joseph] Williamson [Nine Years' War]. The next post from Holland is impatiently awaited, with His Majesty's orders for proclaiming the peace, and the terms for ceasing hostilities at sea, for the Experiment man of war yesterday brought into the Downs a French privateer, found near Rye disturbing the fishermen. The Lords Justices and Council have met twice this week to dispatch the Irish bills. The bill for the security of His Majesty's person and government, which was at first very well meant, was afterwards so clogged and altered that it is not liked here. The Marquis of Winchester [Charles Paulet] has owned his marriage with Mrs Crosse [Henrietta Crofts], daughter of Mrs Heneage by [James Scott] the Duke of Monmouth, at which [Charles Paulet] the Duke of Bolton is not a little displeased, and it is probable that Lord William Pawlet [Paulet] will have a great advantage by it. It is not doubted that the Bank [of England] will lend the £200,000 desired, and the City as much, which will be employed in paying off the foreign horses, etc.
