Ofhis own with his ideas on the subject Of the

concludes by stating that he would proceed in

, 10 you, to treat with you of these matters AMI,
then to continue his voyage TO Madrid. At the
nrst sight OF these constructions of the Young
Toledo, they seemed to be sincere Neyer,l,c
less, have compared them with your letters
and adSices TO the 18th of August last: IL was
then high time he should have presented him
self to you according To his promise. On the
contrary, II appears that he remained leagued
with the perverse adventures engaged il,
spreading the Dame of the nsurrection and i'm
continuing maritime piricies.

have knowledge, and confidence in
Committing this delicate affair to your honor
and care, and to your known zeal and pru
uence, my object is to see not only that this
Pr1ndic'at young man abandon his irregular ca

from the enemies of the king and the state. but
also to try whether by this means il NAV not
DC possible to deprive them of some of their

Abstalnlng from other reflections which are
unnecessary for you, hope that YOU will give

In this business; endeavoring, if Toledo shouId
NOT have presented himself, TO inform Yourself
OF MS actions and movements since the afore
mentioned date ofJuly last in order that Imav
