Description (What the record is about)
-
Part 1, Folios 55-56. Letter dated at London from the Duke of York to the Prince of Orange that Mr Hyde has orders to press Mynheer [Gaspar] Fagel [the Grand Pensionary] not to withdraw the squadron now at Cadiz under the command of Evertsen either on the news of the French having quitted Messina or for want of being paid by the Spaniards as to do so would be very prejudicial to both the English and the Dutch and also the Spaniards, the English squadron not being strong enough on its own. The Duke hopes the Prince, having considered the adverse consequences should the Dutch squadron return home, will send orders as soon for them to remain and join with the English squadron especially now that war is close to being declared.
