F A C T U M F O R ^^ Gabriel De la Foreft. ,c. ^ GAbrielde It Foreft ^ late Governour of Fort Bourbon, 2X\^s Ne'.foK^in Hud- foHi-hay^ was attackt in the Month of Auguft lall by five Ships, where- iSj& of the Comadore was Capr. Alien, Commander of one of his Majefties Ships ; after fbme Reflftance, being Summoned, he furrendred his Fort to the laid Capt.^//e«, upon Articles of Capitulation ; which were inSubitance, That he the faid Mr. De U ForeHy his Men, Effefts or Goods, amounting to about 1 5000 /. j?er/. Value, Bagage, fmallArms, and two pieces of Cannon, c^c. as appears bv the Original Articles figned by Capt. Jlleu^ Ihould be carried by one ot' the King's Ships to PUifantia,. belonging to the French^ without being any ways molefted, pillaged, or vifitted. Bat the faid De U ForeB was no foooner furrendred, but that hehimfelf, and all the Men of his Garrifbn were plundered of ail their Beavors, Skins and Cloaths, and brought in that miferable Condition into Eni^Und. The laid Englifb Ships arrived into Plymouth Harbour about the latter end of September following, when Mr. De U ForeH made his Application to . Commiflary Santbo^ at the faid Place, who caufed him to be brought on Ihoar, and acquainting the Court with bis Complaints, he was lent for, and brought up to London by Mr. Tonftaly MclTenger. At the fame time the Gentfemen ohhe Hudfons-Bay Company, poflcired tjiem- felves of all his Beavors, Goods, &(. Capt. J/Ieny on board whole Ship they were, having been killed in a Fight at Sea. As foon as the faid De la Foreft arrived at Lwdo/tj he had a Petition delivered to his Majefty b] a Solicitor, in Subftance demanding the Rcftitution of all his Goods, (^e. acceding to the Articles, and to be lent to France with the lame, and his Men, as foon as polfible. But things were fo carried on, that an Order was already ilTued out for his be- ir.g (ent back to P^Kio»rA, without any hearing, when accidentally fome Chari- table Perlbns being informed of this, went to his Majefty, who was gracioufly pleafed to Order, that the faid De la Foreft Ihould not be (ent bac;k to Plymouth^ but rather be heard before the Lords of the Council for Trade and Plantations ; who after feveral Hearings of the faid De la ForeH, and the Hudfaus-Bay Com- pany, were pleafed to give a Special Report on that Affair., in the beginning oija- nuary laft, which was delivered the 14/A. of the faid Month, to the right Honou- rable Mr. Secretary Trumbal^ for to know his Majefties pleafure on it. One of the Perfbns employed in the faid De U ForeU\ bufinefs, having feveral times waited on the right Honourable Mr. Secretary Trumbal, was at laft told, that his Majefty would have that Matter to be judged or determined in a full Council at Whitehall^ when tny Lord Keeper could have the time to be there, or fome Expreflion to that purpofe. During this time, the faid De la Fcrelih Men were kept on board of one of the Ships at Plymouth, who being naked, in this hard, cold Weather, and without any Relicf,fell moft of them fick,and then were fent to the Hofpital there.fome dyed,and the reft were lent over to France, only about a Fortnight fince, as he underftands. Now the faid De la Foreft not being capable of imagining what Rcafbn has hi- therto detained him a Prifoner here lo long, berrs that he may fpeedily obtain his Right, according to his Articles: Or if it Ihould be thought fit to deny it him, that he may be fent to France by the nearcft way, and not detained any longer here, in breach of the faid Articles of his Capitulation. But, the faid De la Forreft does not doubt.but the Lords of his Majefty 's moft Ho- nourable Privy Council willvveigh and tonfider the mighty Con(i:qucnces of lo pofitive and formal a Breach of Faith, (and Droit dtf^ens) in every particular, as this he now Complains of, and that he will be foon reftorcd 10 what is his un- doubted Right.
