Martin examined about Papers intercepted going to the French Squadron.
Upon reading the Order of the Eight and Twentieth Day
of November last, for the Lord Keveton to attend; and
the Order of the First of December Instant, for Captain
Martin, Captain Munden, and others, also to attend:
Captain Martin, being called in and sworn, was told,
"That this House, at a Conference with the House of
Commons, have received Information of divers Papers
taken in a French Vessel, and sent to Sir Ralph Dalavall; and that the Lords have read them, and heard
the Lord Keveton concerning them."
Then he said as follows: "October 25th, 1691, Wind
at E. b. S. blowing very hard, about Ten in the
Morning, The Chester came under our Stern, with a
French Prize. He called, and told us, "He had
taken in that Prize a French Packet, directed to Monsieur Chatternee." It being such a great Sea that no
Boat could with Safety be put out, Sir Ralph Delavall
ordered to send out Smack to bring the said Papers
on Board; which he did, by heaving a Lead Line on
Board The Chester, to which they made fast the said
Packet, which the Smack in the like Manner did
heave on Board us. The Paper was tied up in a
Parchment Carteridge, which was brought to Sir
Ralph Dalavall as we were at Prayers. After Prayer,
Sir Ralph asked me, "If I could interpret French?"
I answered, "That I was no Master of that Language; but that I understood it a little." He desired
me to read these Letters, and to endeavour to let him
know what they imported. And, after I had perused
them, I told Sir Ralph, "That the Tenor of the
Letter from General Ginckle to him was as followeth:
"SIR,
"Having understood, by my Lord Nottingham, that
you are to command the Squadron of Ships designed
to cruize upon the Coast of Ireland, I thought fit to
acquaint you, that, by the Capitulation of the Surrender of Limerick, all Hostilities are to cease, both
by Sea and Land, upon that Coast of Ireland till
such Time as the French and Irish Troops that are
in Ireland be transported; wherefore, if you should
meet with any French Ships of Transport or otherwise, I desire that it may be observed by you; because it will tend very much to the putting an End to
the Business in Hand. The French General hath writ
in the same Manner to him that is to command the
Squadron upon this Coast." As I remember, One of
the Copies was attested by Dursone Governor of
Limerick.
"The Copy of the Letter from the French Governor
to Monsieur Chaternee Reneau, or him that commanded
the French Squadron upon the Coast of Ireland, was, to
the best of my Memory, as followeth:
"SIR,
"I thought fit to acquaint you, at the Surrender of
Limerick, it was agreed, with him that commanded
the French Squadron in The Shannon, that all Hostilities should cease, by Sea as well as by Land, till
such Time as the French and Irish Troops are transported; wherefore I advise you, with the Ships of
War under your Command, to come to an Anchor
in Dingle Bay, and send the Transport Ships into
The Channon, for the more easy embarking His Majesties Troops Aboard the Transport Ships, where
Transport Ships will be very safe;" or to this Purpose.
"And, in a Postscript;
"SIR,
"Since I wrote this, having understood that Dingle
Bay is a dangerous and not a safe Road for this Season
of the Year, I desire that you anchor in The Bantrey
Bay near to the Isle of Sca Neroe."
"There was some other Letters from private Persons;
but of no Import. This is all that I told Sir Ralph
Dalavall; and further I know not."
Which done, the Lord Keveton was heard in his Place.
L. Keveton's Information about them. Committee to consider of an Entry in the Journal about this Business.
Upon reading the Order of the 28th of November
last, and the Order of the First Instant, for the Lord

Keveton being come; and after hearing Captain Henry
Martin and the Lord Keveton, the House named these
Lords following, to be a Committee, to draw up what
