Settlement in Datien. j 



It were eafy to make proper Remarks upon 

 the Weaknefs, Infolence and Ingratitude of this 

 Memorial, but it is not worth while; all the 

 World knows what the Crown of Spal^ ows 

 to his Majefty of Great Britain ; and therefore 

 a more civil Application might reafonably have 

 been expefted to a Prince w'ho hath not only 

 fav'd the Netherlands^ but prevented his Catho- 

 lick Majefty from being infulred on his Throne 

 at Madrid. But thele things we pafs over, and 

 come to the chief Point in the Memorial, which 

 is. That the Scots have pcjled themselves in the 

 Kjng of Spain'^ Demains in America, contra* 

 ry to the Alliance betmxt the tn^o Crowns. If this 

 be prov'd to be falfe, then the Caufe of the 

 Complaint ceafes, and his Majefty of Great 

 Britain hath rcafbn to demand SatisfaOiion for 

 the Affront offered thereby to his Juftice and 

 Soveraignt^y. 



To prove the Falfhocd of the Allegation, 

 That the Province of Darien is part of the King 

 of Spains Demains : It is pofitively denied 

 by the Scots., who challenge the Spaniards to 

 prove their Right to the faid Province, either by 

 Inheritance, Marriage, Donation, Pur chafe. Re- 

 <verfton^ Surrender^ Poffe/fion or Conque(l ; which 

 being the only Titles by which they or any other 

 People can claim a Right to thofe or any other 

 Dominions, if the Spaniards cannot make out 

 their Right by thofe or any of thofe, their claim 

 muft of confequence be null and void,
