M^r Prior


Whitehall 21 Aug.^t 1712

S^r

Upon the representations w.^ch have been
made to her Majesty by sev.^l considerable
Merchants that they are very apprehensive
the french Privateers may still continue
their Courses under colour of Commiſsions
from the Duke of Anjou or Elector of
Bavaria, and by the same means shelter
themselves in S.^t Sebastians and Newport
You will acquaint M.^r Torcy that her
Maj.^ty hopes effectual care will be taken
by the Court of France to prevent any
collusions of that kind, perhaps this
may be only a Iealousy of Traders,
whose loſses in the War may have given
them too much diffidence, however Her
Maj.^ty cannot but shew them that regard
as to take the best methods she can
for their security. I have so lately
written to you that I have nothing now
to add but the aſsurances that

I am &.^a

Dartmouth.
