Description

Folio 215: Thomas Lumley to Lord Carteret. Reasons why packet-boats are sometimes delayed. Incident over Irish friars' attempt to convert Mrs Sims. Secretary of State is very reasonable, but ecclesiastics grow audacious `in a country so full of bigotry and superstition as this is'. Encloses copy of project for a Portuguese company for exporting slaves from W. Africa to Brazil (wanting see f.219) which will be very harmful to British interests if implemented, which still seems unlikely. Principal projector is a notorious French speculator, Dansaint. Reported insurrection at Minas Gerais in Brazil, officially denied in the Lisbon Gazette. Redman has dropped the idea of buying the San Isidoro (cf. f.207).

Date and place: 1723 May 31, NS Lisbon.
