Description (What the record is about)
-
Part 1, Folios 111-112. Letter dated at London from the Duke of York to the Prince of Orange. 'We were very much surprised this day to hear by express from Nijmegen that the peace was signed only by the Dutch and French without the Spaniard, and that the mediators had refused to sign, though offered by them, to have their hand in such a separate peace. I believe it was what you did not expect, no more than we, and the manner of it was extraordinare, and what Monsieur van Beuningen said upon his signing it, and by what we have heard the Swedes seem not to be pleased at it'. The Duke says he does not know what to say about it or guess what will happen and longs to hear the Prince's reaction. The remainder of the letter deals with the movement of troops.
