 Clarendon ordered the English envoys at Breda to sign a peace quickly, as Charles feared an open revolt.The Second Anglo-Dutch war had spread to the Caribbean islands, and in late 1665 an English force, mainly consisting of buccaneers under the command of Lieutenant-colonel Edward Morgan, the Deputy Governor of Jamaica, assisted by his nephew Thomas Morgan, quickly captured the Dutch islands of Sint Eustatius and Saba.After his uncle's death in December 1665, Thomas Morgan was appointed as governor of these two islands.
