- Diary and consultations of the Council in China
- Scope & Content:
- Letter to the EIC in London: The arrivall of the Apollo, a ship of five hundred tons, twenty eight guns and one hundred men, commanded by Captain Michel Caiaphas under Prussian colours from Cadiz, but wee verily believe belonging to some persons in the Austrian Netherlands, hath given us great trouble and vexation, especially when wee found it impracticable to embarrass her supracargoes in their negotiations, Mr Spendelo, who is an Englishman and the chief of them, being a man of capacity in business and well acquainted with the policy in the government and trade of this place, neither of which are to be interrupted by violence or force, for the Chinese are naturally timorous and the least disturbance might cause the worst of consequences, and therefore any attempt upon the said ship in the River would not only have been an open violation of the laws of this country but likewise a manifest breach of our orders from the Honourable the Secret Committee. These considerations put us upon a resolution to give the Princess of Wales and Lyell and early dispatch, that in case the gentlemen abovementioned should attempt to get away soon after the setting in of the easterly monsoon your Worships' ships and the King George galley might fall down the river before her. But in this design wee were unfortunately disappointed by our green tea being long detained in the country. By the Princess of Wales your Honours will have two large lacquered screens with the Company's arms upon them, being made purposely for the Court Room.
