Long's office; and going, met Mr. George Montagu, who
talked and complimented me mightily; and a long discourse I had
with him: who, for news, tells me for certain that Trevor do
come to be Secretary at Michaelmas, and that Morrice goes out,
and, he believes, without any compensation. He tells me that now
Buckingham do rule all; and the other day, in the King's journey
he is now in, at Bagshot and that way, he caused Prince Rupert's
horses to be turned out of an inne, and caused his own to be kept
there; which the Prince complained of to the King, and the Duke
of York seconded the complaint; but the King did over-rule it for
Buckingham, by which there are high displeasures among them: and
Buckingham and Arlington rule all. To White Hall; where
Brouncker, W. Pen, and I attended the Commissioners of the
Treasury about the victualling contract; where high words between
Sir Thomas Clifford and us, and myself more particularly, who
told him that something, that he said was told him about this
business, was a flat untruth. However, we went on to our
business in the examination of the draught, and so parted, and I
vexed at what happened.
