I never devoted my self to this Ambassador, and I never had any Correspondence or was in League with him prejudicial to my Duty. Nay, it happened the King of _England_ one day, having a design more especially to take into Consideration the _Swedish_ Interests, Monsieur _de Barillon_ diverted him from it; whether for fear lest a particular Peace should be clapp'd up between the _Northern_ Crowns, or else out of Jealousie, that he might leave the Glory of the Restitution of this Crown to the King his Master; and depriving it of all other relief, might keep it in the mean time in a greater dependance. I was so much put to it, and fell out with Mr. _Barillon_ so much thereupon, that I did not so much as speak to him in 3 or 4 months; nay, one day as the King was at Dinner I cast in his teeth what had past in the presence of _Monsieur Wachmeister_, Envoy-Extraordinary from the King of _Sweden_. I do not question but Monsieur _Wachmeister_ remembers it well enough; he is no less worthy to be believed, than he is brave and undaunted. And now after this manner I became all one with the Ambassador of _France_. But yet I must confess that at such time as he stickled for my Master's Interest and that of the _Swede_, I was intirely devoted to him, thinking my self most happy that I was enabled to pay my most humble Services to such a great Monarch, whose Subject I have the honour to be, without failing in my Loyalty and Allegiance, which I ought to pay him before all others whatsoever. Whereupon, my Lord, I shall tell you one thing, in which _Monsieur_ de _Ruvigni_, at present Lord _Galloway_, cannot but agree with me, no, nor _Monsieur Olivencrantz_ neither. The departure of this Ambassador for _England_, occasioned shrewd suspicions both at _Nimeguen_ and _London_ to the _French Ambassadors_. Monsieur _Barillon_ was much alarm'd at it, especially when he saw that Monsieur _Olivencrantz_ lodged at my House, and when he knew that I had offered a Project, upon which I had the Honour sometimes to be in debate with my Lord Treasurer, Monsieur _Barillon_ put all in practice to sift him to the bottom; nevertheless all the offers of this _French_ Embassador proved ineffectual, and wrought thing upon this Man; who, if a man would give credit to Sir _W.T._ was intirely devoted to Mons. _Barillon_, and yet Mons. _Barillon_ found him not to be corrupted or bribed. One would think, my lord, that Sir _W.T._ has a mind to make Men believe, that I was only sent into _Holland_ to carry him a Dispatch from the Court; for he is always harping upon this String, when he mentions my Voyage: Yet please to take notice, my Lord, That he confesseth that it was I, _who procured this Dispatch_.
