899. Answer of the General Court of the Massachusetts Colony
to the petition of Ferdinando Gorges and several others of the Province
of Maine and Laconia, complaining of them for seizing their
lands and subverting their ancient government, they refusing to take
the engagement to be true to the Commonwealth without King and
House of Lords, whereas the petitioners had, in obedience to Acts
of Parliament, 1648, as they call them, taken it and advised the
honourable State of it. In the beginning of their great undertaking
the Massachusetts was hindered from laying claim to the utmost
extent of their limits, especially to the northward, yet they never set
up their bounds three miles east of Merrimack as the petition mentions,
but have always asserted the same limits they now claim.
Patents of tracts of land within the limits granted to the Massachusetts
procured by several persons. Action of the inhabitants of
Piscataqua and their desire to be governed by the Massachusetts,
which accordingly was done, and so have they continued in peace.
All just possessions and empowerments shall be confirmed to the
true Proprietors, as with the rest of the inhabitants that have
been under their government from the beginning. Several scattered
inhabitants who live more easterly have offered themselves to the
Massachusetts, who are slow to accept them, because without their
limits, Winthrop, Dudley, and others, long since before their limits
were exactly known, seemed to own those for distinctive governments,
which in truth were none, but included in the Massachusetts,
as on the running of their line appeared. It is desired that they
may have notice of any complaints relating to bounds before any
determination be made in the case. 3 pp. Two copies. [Col. Papers,

the Privy Council for the affairs of the Admiralty and Navy. That
in the absence of the Duke of York, petitioner applied for license
and protection of the Great Charles, of Bristol, with 30 mariners,
bound to Barbadoes, which was granted. Said ship was thereupon
prepared for that voyage ; but before this could be perfected the
present embargo came out. Prays for license to proceed on his
voyage, and for protection for his mariners. Indorsed, 1 Jan. 1664-5.

902. Petition of the Royal African Company to the King. Having
been established two years ago, raised a joint stock of 120,000l., and
sent abroad 158,000l. worth of manufactures in English ships ; have
increased the stock and taken up money on credit ; present effects now
worth 273,807l. 2s. 6d. ; but the Dutch under De Ruyter have
already taken 50,000l., and further loss of 125,912l. now on the
coast of Africa is possible ; hence the Company's credit is falling.
Pray therefore that Major Holmes' Dutch prizes may be made over
to them, seeing that De Ruyter declares his acts have been done in
compensation for losses inflicted by Holmes ; also that some way or
means may be found to support this Royal Company, their trade
being of more public honour, interest, and advantage than any other
experimented in any part of the world, for they constantly employ
above 100 sail of good ships yearly, and return at least two to three
hundred thousand pounds in gold per annum to the Mint, in lieu of
English and naturalized East Indian commodities for the most part,
and moreover supply the American Plantations with negro servants ;
if the Company cannot continue to do this, the Plantations will either
be useless or must take their slaves from the Dutch, which will utterly
divert English shipping from those parts. [Dom., Chas. II., Vol. CX.,
No. 10, Cal., p. 159.]

903. Brief narrative of the trade and present condition of the
Royal African Company. Since their incorporation on 20 Jan. 1663
they have liberally supplied the whole coast from Gambia to Cape
Lopez with goods, value 158,000l., which was more than their predecessors
sent out in five years, and have procured so much respect
of all the negro kings and people, that notwithstanding the machinations
of the Hollanders, they have settled, by consent of the
natives, in one year these factories, and fortified most of them ; on
the north coast, at Poriadally, Goally, Trevisco, Gambia, Rio Nunes,
Rio Grande, Sierra Leon, Cerborow, Cestos, and other adjacent parts
on the Gold Coast, from whence they may expect a yearly return to
the value of 100,000l. in elephants' teeth, wax, hides, dyeing wood,
Guinea grain, and other very useful commodities ; and on the Gold
Coast and this side the Bight, at Anashan, Anta, Cantoucory,
Cormantin, Cape Corso, Wyamba, Acra, Ardra, and Benin, from
which they might have expected, if they had not been disturbed by
the Ruyter, to the value of 200,000l. in gold, and above 100,000l. in
servants for the Plantations. Besides a trade at Old and New
Calabar, which would have supplied a contract they have with the
Spaniards for 3,500 negroes yearly, that will bring into this kingdom
86,000l. in Spanish silver per annum. The whole trade would produce
greater profit than any other managed by his Majesty's subjects ;
which induced them to enlarge their stock from 17,000l. to
120,000l., and take up 100,000l. on credit ; which they might infallibly
have stood clear in had not the Ruyter gone in revenge of
what was done by Major Holmes, and found so easy a conquest
at Goree Island. But now their credit is extinct, their stock being
in Africa, and they throw themselves at his Majesty's feet, not
doubting he will provide for their support in asserting a commerce
so profitable and necessary for his dominions. Indorsed by Williamson,
Guinea Comp., 1664-5. 2½ pp. [Col. Papers, Vol. XIX., No. 5.

for the retreat and preservation of the first settlers and
of those that shall follow. In witness whereof, Major Wm. Yeamans
hath set his hand and seal [the seal wanting]. Annexed,

904. I. The Concessions and Agreement of the Lords Proprietors of
Carolina with the adventurers of Barbadoes and their associates
of England, New England, the Caribbee Islands, and

These describe very fully the manner of government, the
powers of the Assembly, the law courts to be established,
and the officers, civil and military, to be appointed. Also
rules for the better security of the proprieties of all the

been 1,600 square miles, of which he is to take notice and bound the

wish to make void the Act that Englishmen shall not be carried
abroad without their consents ; moreover, these men are bound by
no indenture or agreement for their passage ; and there is a law in
Barbadoes that whosoever brings thither any persons against their
wills, and not being bound by indenture, shall be liable to such
penalties as the law may inflict, and also shall be forced to bring
them back to their habitations ; have therefore put these men on
shore again. [Dom., Chas. II., Vol. CX., No. 42, Cal., p. 164.]

912. The Lords Proprietors of Carolina to Sir Jno. Yeamans.
Having received a good character of his abilities and loyalty from
Sir Jno. Colleton, with an assurance that he will vigorously attempt
the settling of a colony to the southward of Cape Romania, they have
prevailed with his Majesty to confer the honour of a knight baronet
upon him and his heirs, and by their commission which goes by his
son, have made him their Lieut.-General and Governor of that part
of Carolina. In their agreement with his son they have endeavoured
to comprehend all interests, especially that of New England, whence
the greatest stock of people will in probability come ; wherefore they
advise him to contrive all means to get those people to join with
him, so keeping those in the King's dominions that either cannot or
will not submit to the Government of the Church of England. As
for the 6,000 acres by him desired, they oblige themselves to grant
the same, to be by him taken to the southward or westward of Cape
Romania, but to avoid coming too near the home lots, the whole to
be taken up and bounded within three years, and he paying one
halfpenny per acre yearly, from March 25, 1670 ; 1,500 acres is
likewise granted to his friend Capt. Will. Merricke, upon the same
terms. Wish him good success in his intended voyage and undertakings.

914. The Lords Proprietors of Carolina to (the Barbadoes adventurers).
Have received their letters of August 29th and October 8th,
by Major Wm. Yeamans, who has made known their desires touching
their settlement in Carolina, and his own power to treat with the
Lords Proprietors concerning the same. By his ingenuity he has
prevailed with them to grant more than several people would have
accepted ; of which they no ways repent considering their forwardness
to settle near Cape Fair, and resolution to make another settlement
to the southward or westward of Cape Romania. There is
nothing that may be fit for the Lords Proprietors to grant, or to
obtain for them from his Majesty, but they will do the one and
endeavour the other as soon as they understand that the adventurers
have begum the southernmost settlement. ½ p. [Col. Entry Bk.,

917. George Cartwright to Sec. Sir Henry Bennet. Is heartily
sorry he cannot give a further account of the King's affairs here
than what Capt. Hugh Hyde has received from Col. Nicolls. Since
all the plantations of the Dutch and Swedes on the South river
were reduced in Oct. last to the King's obedience, Mavericke and
the writer have had nothing to do but visit the English colonies,
but they cannot act without a third man, though each single may
act with Col. Nicolls, but he is detained at New York with the
affairs of his Government, and Sir Robt. Carre cannot be persuaded
to leave Delaware as yet. If they should not be spared from their
Governments next spring (which he fears they cannot) they will be
in a great strait. They will soon have spent what little the King
allowed them, and the writer has neither credit in New England
to take up money nor an estate in England to pay it with. It is
more probable the Dutch will attempt to regain the places taken
from them in the spring rather than this winter. Their greatest
work lies in this jurisdiction, which is 300 miles from New York,
and Delaware above 100 miles beyond that. Printed in New York

918. George Cartwright to [Col. Nicolls]. Has delivered his
letters to George Tyte, master of the Success, who is this day gone
to Nantasquet. Capt. Breedon has sent him letters brought by
Winder and Capt. Scarlet from England. None of the pilots who
went with them to the Manhatans are paid, but has paid 10l. to Coles,
who came from Piscataqua with Capt. Hill, having lately lost his
vessel in a storm. Hears Major-Gen. Leveret has received 34l. from
the country for his charges in entertaining Nicolls at Boston, and the
country is made to believe that they have been put to 300l. charges
already, and that the Commissioners intend to exact 12d. for every
acre of land and 3,000l. a year besides, and to abridge them of their
greatest privileges, as liberty of conscience and many such. They
have admitted for freemen three or four men who are not members
of their church, that by it they might evade the King's letter in that
point. Their underhand dealing to get petitions made to themselves
for maintaining the government as it is at present established and
their private soliciting for voices against the next election, give him
just cause to be jealous of their loyalty. But till Nicolls or Sir Robt.
Carre come here nothing can be done. Has written to Rhode
Island, on petition of Capt. Hudson and others, who lay claim to
land in the Narragansetts and have set up a house, which they of
Rhode Island pulled down ; if not determined by the spring it is
thought much blood might be spilt. Hopes he will come to Rhode
Island as early as the season will permit, that they dispatch their
business and be here in convenient time before the General Assembly,
when they may go to the Eastern parts to determine the limits of
those patents. Nicolls may be better spared from New York before
May than after, as any designs of the Dutch cannot be expected
before then. Certain news that the Indians upon Nantucket have
murdered and pillaged the sailors belonging to a bark driven by
a storm upon that island. Printed in New York Documents, III.,

for New England. Because of the indignities, spoils, and
affronts of the Dutch and their notorious proceedings on the coast of
Guinea, De Ruyter being sent thither with 12 ships of war to destroy
all the King's interest in those parts, and his Majesty having cause to
suspect, on his return to invade all the English shipping he can
meet with and assault his Plantations in New England and other
colonies, they are required to take care of the forts and defences,
and empowered to do what is necessary for the safety of the islands
and navigation of English merchants. They are to observe all
orders and directions from the Duke of York, Lord Admiral, who
has been commissioned to grant letters of marque and general
reprisal against the ships, goods, and subjects of the States of the
United Provinces. Copies of this letter to be sent to the Governors

gentlemen to deliver up the Government of the Province of Maine
into Archdale's hands, or to show cause to the contrary ; they
have refused and he has protested against them and appealed to
the King's Commissioners ; they will not submit to their peculiar
patent, but will adhere to the government of this jurisdiction. A
messenger may be here from Rhode Island in two days. Maverick
is now at Char[lestown?]. "To-morrow is a court here at which
Mr. Winder hath a great trial, who pretends he and his partners
were palpably cheated by some churchwardens of 400l. five years
ago, which he undertakes to prove, and another man who lays an
action of 500l. against his father-in-law for detaining his wife from
him. The wife complained to her father that her husband was insufficient,
the father being a member, acquainted the church with it,
and they the magistrates, who sent three several doctors to make
inspection ; they all have carefully taken the dimensions, and are to
be witnesses to-morrow ; by the next I may tell you what justice
they have done against the church members, for this messenger will
not stay till the court be ended. It will be worth the knowing
what or how much is necessary for a holy sister." Hears Col. Serles
is to be made a member and a magistrate ; it is certain that they
have agreed that the members upon their admission must make no
more public confessions in their meeting houses but in private, and
they say the order was made in relation to him. A gentleman at

a tax of 2s. 3d. per hogshead of tobacco imposed by the Governor of
Virginia for the fortification of the country, for which they have
given bills of exchange amounting to near 400l. sterling. Pray for
release of said bills, or leave to export the like quantity of tobacco
duty free, and further that said imposed tax may be employed to
the right use, for at present there is no port to preserve ships
