I had the Honour to Inform you of the different steps I had taken to bring about an Accomodation with my Adversaries, and as I was long ago fully determined to make great sacrifices for Peace I have been for some time pretty sanguine of Obtaining it. Even last night I have a letter from my Nephew which mentions that the Friends of the parties had met, that my friends had made Specifick propositions which the Gentlemen on the other side required time to consult together; and with their Constituents to determine upon them. Judge of my surprise when I discovered by the most undoubted authority that Mr. Walpole is taking measures to arrest my person at this very Moment upon the Old French Sentintes which are now under litigation in Granada and which form the Object of the Compromise I laid the matter before my lawyer, and by his advice I left Paris Instantly, and have determined to quit the Kingdom as soon as possible. The Plan Mr. Williams and I have formed for this purpose is that I shall take a place in the first Dilligence for Lyle, under the Name of John Brown that I shall go the evening before to some place on the Road to Ostend and from thence take my Seat in the Coach. May I request the favour that you will send me by the bearer a passport to John Brown to go to Holland. I have the Honour to be most sincerely Dear Sir your Most Obedient Humble Servant
