Of the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament Aflembled.
Die Sahhathi i o. Febntarii. 1 6^9.
E the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Par-
;j^^ «£,« ^ liament Aflembled^ being according to our
5'^fc^ Duty ever Solicitous for the Prefervation
"^ ^ and Increafe of the Trade of this King-
?f dom, on which the Support of Your Ma-
'] jeftics Greatnefs and Honour fo much de-
pends, as well as the Security and Defence
iM'^-^^A'^^ of Your People, have been very apprchen-
live, That the Steps lately made towards
a Settlement of Your Subjects of the Kingdom of Scotland at
Darien^ may tend to the great Prejudice of this Nation, and
poffibly to the Diflurbance of that Peace and good Correfpon-
dence with the Crown of Spain, which we conceive is very
Advantagious to us all : Wc have therefore taken the iamc into
our feriousConfideration, as a Matter of the greateft Importance,
and proper to be laid before Your Majefty, as the Common Father
«fboth Countreys. And as we arc truly fenfible of the great LoiTes
our Neighbour Kingdom hath fuftaincd, both of Men and Treafure^
in their Expc4itions to that Place, which we very heartily lament,
fowe fhould not Endeavour, by any Intcrpofitionof ours, to De-
fesit the Hopes they may fiill Entertain of Recovering thofe Lof-
fes by their further Engaging in that Defign, But that we judge
fucha Profecution on their Parts muftend not only in far greater
Difappointmcnts to thcmfelvcs, but at the fame time prove very-
Inconvenient to the Trade and Qiiiet of this Kingdom.
Oh thisOccafion we humbly prcfiime to put Your Majcfly in
mind of the Addrefs of both Houfcs of Parliament, prefcntcd to
Your Majcfty on the Seventeenth day of Teccmber, ^^9'y- I'l die
Clofe of which Addrefs Your Majcily will fee the Unanimous
Senfe of this Kingdom in relation to any Settlement the Scots-
might make in the Wcjl Indies^hy virtue of an Aft ot Pai liament
Pait about that time in the Kingdom of Scotland, which was die
f' Occafion of the faid Addrefs.
And wc humbly Reprcfcnt to YourMajcfty, That having re-*"
ceived Information of fomc Orders Your Ma jelly had fcnt to the
Govcrnours of the, Plantations on this Subjeft, this Houfe did,
ori the Eighteenth of January laft, Come to this Refohition,
That Your Majeftics Plealure, fignified to the Governors of the
Plantations j in relation to the ^c^j/f/j'Settlcment at Darien^ was a-
greeable to the Addrefs ofbothHoufes of Parliament, prefented
to Your Majcfty on the Seventeeth oi December^ i^9$*
And on the Eighth Day of this InftantFetrw^/r^jthis Houfedame
to this further Refolution, That the Settlement of the Scotch-Co-
lony at Darien is Inconfiftent with the good of the Plantation-
Trade of this Kingdom.
All which we humbly hope Your Majefty will take into Your
Ropl Confideration \ and vve are Confident that Your Majefty
cannot be thought too Partial to the Addrefs of this Houfe, if Your
Maicfty fliall in the firft Place Confider the Advantage and Good of
theTradeof this Kingdom, by the Prefervation and Improvement
of which, both thcfe Kingdoms, and all Your other Dominions,
muft: on all Occafions Principally be Defended.
His Majefties moft Gracious Anfwer to the Addrefs, was to this
Effea :
HZ S Majejly havingKecei'ved a very Dutiful Addrefs froitt the
Houfe of Peers^ in relation to the Endeavours lately ufed by
fonjc of His Majejiies SubjeSis of the Kingdom of Scotland ton>ards
}itaki)}g a Settlement at IDsincn^ in which they humbly Keprefent to Him
their Opinion^ That fuch a Settlement is Jnconfijient with the Good of
the Plantation-Trade of this Kingdom : Is Pleafed to let the Honfe
l{fWiv^ That He rvillalvpays have a very great Regard to their Opinio
.on j and to Affure them^ That He will never be wanting by all Proper
Means to Promote the Advantage and Good of the Trade of England.
At the fame time His Majejiy is Pleafed to Declare^ That He cannot
but have a great Concern and Tendirnefs for His Kingdom of Scotland,
and a Defire to Advance their Welfare and Profperity, and is very
feiifihly Touched with the Lofs His SubjeSis of that Kingdom have
Snjiainedby their late unhappy Expeditions^ in order to a Settlement at
iDa lien. His Majejiy does apprehend that Difjiculties may too often arife
with refpeSl to the different Interejis of Trade between His Two King-
doms^ unlefsjome Way be found out to Z^nite them more Nearly and
Co fn pleat ly : And therefore His Majejiy tak^s this Opportunity of
patting the Houje of Peers in mind of what he Recommended to His
Parliaments fwn after His Accejpon to the Throne^ That they would
Confider of a IJnion between the Two Kingdoms. His Majejiy is of
Opinion^ that nothing would more Contribute to the Security and Hap-
pincfs of both Kingdoms j and is inclined to hope, That after they
have Lived near a Hundred Tears under the fame Head, fome happy
Expedient may be found for tnaking them one People, in Cafe a Treaty
were fet on Foot for that Purpoje i andthcrefore He does very earneji-
ly Recommend this Matter to the Confideration of the Houfe.
