CAREW, SIR GEORGE (d. 1612), English diplomatist, second son of Sir Thomas Carew of Antony, was secretary to Sir Christopher Hatton, and was sent on an embassy to Sweden and Poland in 1598. In the reign of James he was employed in nego tiating the treaty of union with Scotland, and from 1605 to 1609 he was ambassador to the court of France. On his return he wrote a Relation of the State of France, which remained in manuscript until 1749, when Dr. Birch appended it to his Historical View of the Negotiations between the Courts of England, France and Brussels, from 1592 to 1617.
