(t) Marlborough envoya le fils du général Dopff, comme second exprès, à Vienne (27 Mai 1706) avec des lettres pour l'Empereur & le Prince de Salm. On y remarque ce passage: ,, Enfin j'espère que V. M. I. approuvera mon zèle pour ses intérêts, & qu’Elle agréera, s’il lui plaît, que je la remets pour le reste au Sieur Dopff. Je la supplie aussi que je puisse avoir l’honneur de recevoir ses ordres au plus-tôt.”? Dispatches, II. 534.

you the success of this days march ; the French are gone to Bruxelles, and we intend to march that way to morrow ; for since thay have quitted this post I am confident, thay will stay for us in no place where it may be possi- * ble to attack them, til thay have the detachement of the Mareshall de Marsins, which thay expect in few days. If you. wou’d have us make all the advantage that is possible of this victory, you must draw your battalions ‘out of their garrisons, and send them with all speed to the army, and Î will be answerable with my head: for the safety of your garrisons; if you will make an end of this warr, leave very little in your garrisons. — You shou’d consider of some methode of asuring these people of their Libertys (*) and Religion, if thay declare for King Charles the thord. I think this wou’d give so great a gealosy, that the French woud be oblis’d to put troupes into al the great towns, or thay wou’d run the risque of loosmg all this Country. — What ever you do, I think shou’d be in the name of England as well as Holland.

çois, Suarez Mendosa soit reçu sur le Bord d’un vaisseau de guerre, ou sur le Paquetboat, si vous aurez la bonté de me faire scavoir, lequel l’accommodera le mieux. Je suis, Monsieur , Vôtre tres humble et tres obeissant serviteur,

Ro: Harley (*).

‘The departure of the men of warr is very uncertain, and therefore if the Spanish cavaleros business requires dispatch, the packetboat wil be his readiest way, and [ wil immediatly send the Queens orders for his being receiv’d on board and treated as becomes tbe recommendation of the States.

Mr. de Vryberge.
