Report of the Conference about a Treaty with the King.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and the
Lords went to the Free Conference with the House of
Commons; which being ended, the House was resumed.
And the Speaker reported the Effect of the Conference, as followeth:
"The Matter of the Conference was; touching the
former Votes sent to the House of Commons concerning a Treaty (fn. *) with His Majesty; wherein they agree
to some, to others they have made some Alterations,
wherein they desire their Lordships Concurrence.
"They agree to the Vote for taking off the Four
Votes of Non-addresses to the King.
"To the Fifth, the House of Commons hath agreed;
upon new Instructions to be given Colonel Hamond,
wherein they desire their Lordships Concurrence; for,
if the Instructions formerly given to Colonel Hamond
should be taken off before the King shall consent to
treat as is agreed by both Houses, His Majesty shall
immediately be in full Liberty, and the Governor altogether without Instructions.
"To the Sixth, the House of Commons hath made
an Alteration; because that Persons excepted from
Pardon, or in actual War against the Parliament by
Sea or Land, or under Restraint, cannot be thought
fit Counsellors to His Majesty in this Treaty for a
safe Peace; and therefore that the King be desired to
send a List of the Names of such Persons as He holds
necessary, left too great a Multitude should beget
Suspicion of Danger.
"To the Seventh, for His Majesty's Domestic Servants, the House of Commons doth concur, with the
former Limitations.
"To the Eighth, the House of Commons cannot
concur with their Lordships, for these Reasons following:
"1st, Because Consent that the Scotts be invited
to treat doth imply the granting them an Interest of joint Treaty; which the Scots have
broken and dissolved, by invading this Kingdom with an Army, not having given Three
Months Warning to the Parliament of England.
"2dly, Because the Scotts have broken the
Covenant which was between the Two Nations; and have made Defection to the contrary Part, in joining with Langdale, &c.
"3dly, Because the Scotts have possessed themselves of Carlile and Berwicke, English Towns,
into which they have put Garrisons, contrary to
the Treaty.
"To the Ninth, for Newport, in the Isle of Wight, to
be the Place for the Treaty, the House of Commons
doth concur.
"To the Tenth, the House of Commons cannot concur that the King should invite the Scotts to join in
this Treaty, for these Reasons following:
"1st, Because, that Authority which should
send Persons to treat hath already sent an
Army in hostile Manner into this Kingdom.
"2dly, Because, their Lordships Vote being
to treat on such Propositions as were tendered
to His Majesty by both Kingdoms at Hampton
Court, it were to admit the Scotts again into
an Interest, which they have destroyed by
hostile Invasion of this Kingdom; but in Lieu
thereof have offered an Expedient.
"To the Eleventh, concerning a proportionable
Number of Commons, the House of Commons doth
concur.
"To the Twelfth, the House of Commons conceive,
that for the Time of beginning of the Treaty, Ten
Days after the King's Assent to treat, as is agreed by
both Houses, will be a convenient Space for His Majesty
to send for (fn. *) as He shall please, and for Dispatch of
the Commissioners of both Houses who are to treat;
and that the Treaty then begin: And that, from
Beginning of the Treaty, Forty Days be allowed
for finishing thereof."
Votes, &c. for the Treaty.
After this, the several Votes and Instructions were
read, as they came now altered and framed from the
House of Commons; and after Consideration thereof,
were thus all agreed to. (Here enter them.)
And Ordered, To be speedily sent to the King, by
Sir Peter Killegrew; and that a Letter be written to
Colonel Hamond, with the Instructions.
Answer to the H. C.
Ordered, That this Answer be returned to the
House of Commons:
"That their Lordships, out of a Desire to expedite
the attaining of a speedy, safe, and well-grounded
Peace, have receded from their former Votes; and
have concurred with them in all the Votes now brought
up, with the Alterations; and their Lordships desire
that they may be speedily sent to the King, by Sir
Peter Killegrewe."
The House being again adjourned during Pleasure,
the Lords went into the Painted Chamber, to acquaint
the House of Commons with their Concurrence and
Desires.
The House was resumed.
Montrieul, a Pass, and Leave to go to the King.
Ordered, That Monsr. Montreul, French Ambassador for the Kingdom (fn. *) , shall have a Pass, for himself
and his Retinue, to go into France; and that he shall
have Liberty to see the King, in the Isle of Wight, as
he goes: And the Concurrence of the House of Commons to be desired herein.

Ordered, To send to the House of Commons, for
their Concurrence to the Order of this House, for staying the cutting down of the Lord Powlett's Woods,
