in the Affirmative the Prisoner had further ask'd him whether he had any Proposals to make relating to a Peace That the said Halewyn had answered him as the Prisoner pretends that it was not time yet that the face of Affairs was chang'd and that the Prisoner must allow him some time to take some new Measures That he had thereupon ask'd the said Halewyn as he says if there was then no hopes left and if it was fit for him to depart Halewyn had answer'd him No but that he should wait some time to see if some favourable opportunity and some good Disposition in the State should offer it self That he had talk'd at several times and places with the said Simon van Halewyn and concerted within several Measures about this Affair That after their first enterview they had met at several times at the Voorhout a place before the Court at the Hague and that about a Month ago being come to the same place about Seven a Clock at Night according to the said Halewyn's Assignation the said Halewyn had told him That he had a written Project about him but that he had refus'd to deliver it to him nor to trust any body with it because he had writ it with his own Hand That the said Halewyn had carried the Prisoner to the Ouden doole where he had dictated to him the said Project That the said Halewyn had brought with him to that purpose some Paper but finding no Ink there the Prisoner had found himself oblig'd to write it into his Tables That the said Halewyn after having dictated to him the said Project had burnt the Original of it That afterwards the Prisoner having told the said Halewyn that tho they were in a Tavern that yet they had drunk no Wine and that people might very well suspect they were come thither for some other purpose than to drink the said Halewyn had pour'd out some Wine upon the Floor and into the Chimney That the Prisoner has sent the said Project in a Letter into France the 19th of February last the Contents of which are That to prepare things for a Peace it would be necessary to engage the King of Sweden to offer his Mediation about it to his Majesty of Great-Britain and this State That there should by no means be made any Proposals of it before they were assured that these Provinces were in a Humonr to accept it That the means to bring them to it were to endeavour secretly and cunningly to give a full prospect to those that had the greatest Interest and Authority with the Deputies of this State of the sad Consequences that would attend a further Continuation of this War to all the States in General and to each in Particular managing every body according to his Humour and Inclination That altho they were sensible enough of the Inconveniencies of the War that yet this was not sufficient but that it was necessary to gain some Deputies that would undertake to animate the rest by some bold Example That no body was more proper for it than the two Brothers Halewyn as being Persons of great Credit and of a competent Knowledge of Affairs That over and above the City of Dort who had the first Vote of all other Places might by her Advice and manner of proceeding teach others that were more timerous to despise the hatred of those that were not pleas'd with it That after the Two Brothers had been gain'd and the King of Sweden disposed to the offering of his Mediation that then the Memorial which was to be presented about it to the States-General should be concerted with the said Two Persons who best knew how to humour it That after this Memorial was presented to the States-General and receiv'd by the said Provinces and consequently brought into Holland that then the respective Deputies should take it into their Consideration except those of the City of Dort who should instantly declare that they had already embrac'd it that the other Deputies might acquaint their Principals with it That to this purpose it was necessary to gain the Eldest of the said Brothers by some Interest of Family and to render them Masters in the said City of Dort which being govern'd by a Commonalty might be easily appeas'd with words alone These the Prisoner says were the Content of the Project altho the said Simon van Halewyn expresly denies to know the least thing of it and that the Prisoner protests That Simon van Halewyn has always told him that his Brother had not the least knowledge of it nor that the Prisoner has ever talkt with the Eldest Halewyn or any other Person That the Prisoner has further declared to the Court That he has sent several other Letters to the Court of France relating to this Affair and especially one dated Febr. 13. 1693. by which he had inform'd that Court that Simon Van Halewyn had told him That the two Joint-Fleets were to be Reinforced by a Squadron of Thirty Men of War That altho the Prisoner had denied to have offered any Sum of Money to the said Halewin yet that he has confest That taking a walk with him at Abbenbroeck and talking about his Building he had said to the said Halewyn upon his own account only and by way of Compliment That the King his Master was rich enough to offer him a little Present to the promoting of his Building but that it seem'd the said Halewyn had made no Reflections on it That nevertheless the Prisoner had writ into France for Money and that thereupon he had been imprower'd by the French King in a Letter dated the 4th of March last which was intercepted during his Imprisonment to promise to Simon van Halewyn the Sum of Twenty thousand Crowns in case he could by his Credit and that of his Friends persuade the City of Dort to give such an Example to tho other Cities in Holland that thereupon a Peace might ensue All which being such Proceedings as in no Country where there is any Justice ought to be suffered as tending to the Destruction of the General Quiet and Tranquility of the State and the causing some Difference and Animosity if possible between the Confederates and this State and consequently deserving Punishment for an Example to others For these Reasons The said Court after a mature Deliberation and serious Examination of all Matters relating to this Affair administring Justice in the Name and by the Authority of the Supreme Magistracy and Lordship of Holland Zealand and Friezland has condemn'd the said Prisoner and does condemn him by these Presents To be carried to a secure Place where he is to remain Prisoner during this War and to be kept on his own Expences and does Banish him out of Holland Zealand Friezland and Utrecht without Liberty of returning thereto under pain of a severer Punishment declares all his Goods confiscated to the profit of the Supream Magistracy and condemns him besides to all the Expences
