180 THE JACOBITE ATTEMPT [SEPT. 20
Chevaux-de-frise, as many as can be found.
1000 or 1500 grenades, 1000 quintals of powder, and a good supply of
gun-flints.
Two or three thousand muskets with bayonets would be useful to us.
P.S.—I offer my humble thanks to your Eminence for your attention
to my recommendation on behalf of the gentleman who is to be employed
in the navy.
I hope that the deputy was not recognised at Santander.]

To PETER
Peter, The King. Dutton, Dillon.
P. 167. Valladolid, Sept. 20, 1719.
I am in continual expectation of hearing of your being
safely landed, and of your being arrived in Rome.
I have no News to send you, but enclose a letter which I
believe is from the Duke of Mar to your Majesty. The
Cardinal has desired me to send to Dutton, and to let him
know that he shall have the termes that were promised when
first I writt to him on this subject.
I thought I shou’d have seen the Cardinal soon, but am not
like to do it yet. The Duke of Perth has been at Madrid this
fortnight. I had one letter from him; he desired to know if
that you had left with me any orders for him. I Answer’d
him that your Majesty told me that you believed that he
might come into this Country, and when that he heard you
were gone back it was your Majesty’s opinion that he wou’d
follow you. I have not heard from him since, which I wonder
at. I hope your Majesty will find the Queen in Good health.
I wish yr Majesty’s all imaginable happyness. I am with
great, etc.
