no releif Can be sent this winter Season and alltho no great Credit can be given to Deserters, We have nevertheless Represented the same according to our Duties.

As to the Care which has been taken to prevent the pernicious practise of Running of Wooll, We crave leave to add to what we have formerly represented upon that head, That the prosecutions against offenders and penalties Inflicted upon Such as have been guilty Has in a great measure prevented the owlers and others from Carrying on that Trade in the Counties of Kent and Sussex, That the officers appointed to this Service upon those Coasts have continued to be of great use in the Seizures of wooll designed for Transportation, as of Silks, wines, Brandys and other ffrench Goods brought in by Stealth and Bartered for such wooll, and that most of the wooll which is now Carried out unwrought to foreign parts is Irish or English wooll from Scotland; That the wooll imported into this Kingdom from Ireland Since christmass 1701 To Christmas 1702 Is as followeth.

As to the Custome house account We find that the Recepts for Customes amounted from Mechaellmass 1701. To Michaellmass 1702. to 2344343 lb. 16s. 2d. which is something more then they amounted to the former year; By which we Conclude that our foreign Trade has not abated Since the Warr, But we find that there was paid into the Treasury 233276 lb. less in the last year than in the former occasioned by the outgoeings or Drawbacks by Debentures and allowances which in the Last account exceed the former.

And whereas we have formerly Laid before your Lordships that were over ballanced in our Trade to Sweden and the Baltic about 200000lb. p annum And in our Trade to Denmark and Norway about 150000 lb. p annum, and that for the East Indies there has been Exported from Christmass 1698 To christmass 1699 in Silver and Gold the value of 871109lb. Sterling.

We thereupon observed that by the great Quantities of Silver annually Exported and small qauntitys of foreign silver brought to the mint to be Coined for 12 years then past, It was obvious that our Silver Coine had been much diminished by those Trades; We Crave leave at present to add that by the Entries at the Custome House we find that the New Company Exported the two Last years as followes (vizt)

The whole of the 2 years amounting to 2047671 ounces of Silver and 8916 ounces of Gold, The Gold computed at 4 pound pr ounce amounting to 564845 li. 13s. 6d. of what has been Exported by others to India or Else where, we have not a particular account

By the officers of the Mint we are Informed that there was Coined from the last of december 1701 to the Last of december 1702

By which Computation and the great pryces Given for Silver unCoined more than for the same when Coyned We are Confirmed in our opinion that our silver Coyn by being melted down and Exported Is daily Diminished and that this mischeif Cannot be prevented but By the Legislative Power.

Since the foregoeing account of exports we find that there was Exported to India by the united Company the 4th of this Instant Decemr 2121000 ounces of Silver wch with other charges made since michaellmass amounts to above 600000 Pounds Sterling.

We have lykewise received the 11th instant an account from America that Providence the cheif of the Bahama Islands has been burnt and destroyed by the ffrench and Spaynards, and the people all put to the Sword or Carried off, which Danger we have been long apprehensive of, and have reason to fear the same attempt will be made upon Carolina in the present State of that Government
