JOHN EARL OF MAR, 1705. 301
I doubt not but your Lordship is well pleased with the procidings of the
house of Lordes in relation to our affair. Both "Whig and Torie joins now in
it, tho some of the Tories proposed to clog it with our act of security. Their
frankness is a good omen to the treatie, and I have reason to belive that it
will meet with little or no opposition in the house of Comons. I hope their
repealing the prohibatory clauses of their act, as well as that declairing us
aliens, which we addrest for, will make people in Scotland better pleased, and
to barken to reasonable proposalls of accomodation. I find here that no
union but an incorporating one relishes. I know your Lordship has long
thought that the best. I wish you cou'd perswad others of it too. I belive
there will be greater difficulties amongst our selves after the treatie to adjust,
than what we'll have with the English in the treatie betwixt us. Your Lord-
ship wou'd be mightily pleased to see the good disposition in every body now
here towards that matter, tho indeed 'tis but a late : for, when I came here
first, I confess I almost dispaird of their complying with our desire ; yet I had
still some hopes, as I wrote to your Lordship, and now they have exceeded
mine and every body's else. I hope this treatie, like to begin so well, will
have a happier end than all the former, and so put an end to our misfortouns
and complents. I shou'd be glade to hear from your Lordship how people in
Scotland takes this. I just now hear that the Lordes have redd the repealing
bill a second time and comitted it, and I belive they'll send it down to the
Comons to morow, who are to consider that matter by 11 aclock, so in a few
dayes it will probabhe be ended. I wryt this to night, in case 1 shou'd be
prevented to morow by any accident; and I know your Lordships affair at
this time does not admitt of a delay, which I'm very sorie for, and wishes it
were in my power to help it, for in all sincerity I am, my Lord,
Your Lordships most affectionat cousin and most humble servant,
Mae.
