Nov. 8. The Hague. 918. Carleton to Sec. Naunton. The insolencies of the Dutch in the East Indies and Greenland, and the spoils committed upon his Majesty's subjects, having been so lately subjects of remonstrance, and their promise past to make due reparation, has informed the States that his Majesty had suspended all further proceedings therein until the coming of their embassy. [Extract from Holland Corresp.]

Incloses copy of letter to the States General, acquainting them with the intention of his Majesty's subjects in sending their committees to the directors of the Dutch East India Company, and requesting them to dispose their subjects to a friendly conformity.

Shall know this year whether to keep this factory or no ; if they do, it must be better supplied than heretofore, as all their other factories must be. Compare the state of their factories to those of the Dutch. The commodities from a Chinese junk have been equally divided between them and the Dutch ; their description and prices. [One page.

[Nov. ?] 924. Petition of Thos. Barwicke, prisoner in the Marshalsea, to the Privy Council. By unjust and untrue informations his worthy masters the East India Company were drawn to have the petitioner committed to Newgate, and then to the Marshalsea, where he hath remained upwards of three months, to the utter undoing of himself, his wife and children, having lost all his estate by the Flemings in the Indies. His answers to all things objected against him show the petitioner does not deserve the heinous aspersions that his enemies have cast upon him. Prays for his release. [Domestic Corresp. Jac. I., Vol. CXVII., No. 102, Cal., p. 195.]
1620. Nov. 30. 925. Robt. Bacon to Sir Clement Edmondes. The East India Company have no desire that Barwicke be longer continued in prison, provided that before his enlargement he may put in caution in the Admiralty to answer such actions as the Company shall prosecute against him. [Domestic Corresp., Jac. I., Vol. CXVII., No. 103, Cal., p. 195.]
