896. Carleton to Sec. Naunton. As to the States' desire of conjunction
of his Majesty's fleet and theirs against the pirates, Carleton
informed the States that his Majesty having undertaken the enterprise
with the King of Spain, it was not res integra to join with
the States, as before, and that they might easily imagine, if they
considered the usage his Majesty's subjects had received from the
Dutch of late in the East Indies, that he had reason sooner to join
with any than with them ; nevertheless, if their fleet came thither
his Majesty, for his part, would not refuse their help in so good a
cause. Answer of the States ; and for what had happened in the
Indies it was the fortune of war, and they are sorry for it, as both
are weakened thereby, their merchants being by contract to make
restitution, as they expect the like from the English Company. The
benefit of their conjunction, and their acknowledgments to his Majesty,
which, if he had not effected, the Spaniard would have chased both
Companies out of the Indies. Carleton's reply ; and concerning the
proceedings in the East Indies, that his Majesty complained of their
prosecuting a war against his subjects when a treaty of accommodation
was on foot, and that the States showed that they justified
their merchants' doings, and espoused their quarrel, rather than disavow
it, for which and many other reasons his Majesty remained
very ill satisfied. [Five pages. Holland Corresp.]
