made to decline the same and 't was proposed notwithstanding to continue a good undertaking and Neighbourhood in Conformity to which the aforesaid King forbid his Subjects by Drum beat not to do any Injury to our Subjects upon grea● Penalty either by Water or by Land further promising us to restore all our ●ugitives either Free men or Slaves Further shewing us That it would be acceptable to him if we Complemented th● former King his Father which they did and he recommended it to them to hold a good Alliance an● Neighbourhood with his Son And it appears clearly that the young King has since only in 〈◊〉 own Name exercised Regal Authority by his sending Ambassadors to England in 1681. and als● by the old Kings withdrawing from Bantam the Regal City And further by the Addresses made b● other Nations to the young King as alone in Regal Authority And 't is well known the Father wa● onely a private prince and had reserved no part of the Soveraign Regallity of Bantam 〈◊〉 to what was Negotiated with the BANTAM Ambassadors in ENGLAND we ca● say nothing positively but the World knows they were at their Departure furnished with a grea● quantity of Canon and other Warlike Ammunitions which the English East-India Company presented and that it 's an old and substantial Complaint of our people at Bavaria That the Old King o● Bantam has been several times furnished in the like manner from England and he has been more an● more animated thereby against us After the settleing of the aforesaid Alliance with Bantam ther● happened in that Kingdom great Factions and Divisions as also great Jealousies arose between th● Young and Old King the Son complaining of the Actions of the Father and the Father of the Sons insomuch that it seems the Father Repented his resigning up of the Kingdom to his Son Now being in a private Capacity began to Cabal against the Son and to make a Party insomuch that they strengthened themselves against each other The Son at Bantam makes a Fortification and the Father builds 〈◊〉 Stone Work at his Residence at Turtiassa as also one on the River Tanara which Fire after a whil● lying smothering at last broke out into a light flame and came to an open War so that the Fathe● Marches against the Son with the Forces he had gathered and in the first place he took in Bantam and wasted and burnt it and proceeded to 〈◊〉 himself Master of the whole Shoar and the Forts upon it as also of all the Passes designing to force his Son in the aforesaid Fortress and set a younger Son on the Throne The present King being brought to the outmost Extremity by reason there was no access to him but by those wel● skilled in the ways and that by stealth he applyed himself to those of Bavaria with earnest intreaty for assistance from the Companies and to be taken into their Protection declaring without it he was not able to defend the Neatherland Lodge again●● his Rebells which Application being made on the 10th of February 1682. was not Precipitately granted by the General and Council but after long Deliberations it was resolved to send a Friendly Mediation both to Father and Son and two Letters were sent to Father and Son by Major Stephen Martin on the 16th of March to Bantam but the Father would not receive them till the 17th and then sent for them by English French and Danes but vouchsafed no Answer holding The aforesaid King in the mean time in the aforesaid Castle closer and c●oser besieged so that Major Stephen Martin was obliged by many Letters from the Young King to endeavour to Land as being the only means to free him but was opposed and hindred that day by the Rebels whose Canons were most Traversed by English Canonneirs and did much Damage both to the Ships and Men of the Dutch Company upon which the aforesaid Stephen Martin being reinforced with more Men and Ships as also Orders to attempt again to Land and releive the King that was in the outmost Extremity and at last on the 7th of April they b●at off the Rebels for all the great resistance they made and releived the King and took in the Passes with no small loss upon the of Bavaria the Enemy shewed themselves in Acts of Hostiltiy but they had such Reception as made them March off in disorder with the loss of which Actions under the Command of the aforesaid King lasted till November last according ●o our last Advice which has been very chargeable to our Company But at last the Old King and his Adherents were driven into Turtiassa and the Hills Adjacent Few days after the relief of the Young King the English Company residing at Bantha● sent Letters by some of their Company Addressed to the General and Council at Bavaria and after Congratulation of our success destred them to lend them a Ship of 500 Tun to fetch off and Transport their E●●ects from Bantam for which they offered to pay the Fraight They also desired Liberty to hire a House in Batavia to put their Goods in and further That they would give Orders the Servants of the Company to Comport themselves according to the usual Love and Friendship of the Dutch towards them Upon which the Generals and Council to shew their readiness and kindness immediately lent them the Europe a Ship of 1200 Tuns and also allowed their Retreat to Batavia thereupon they fearing to stay in Bantam any longer with all secrecy Shiped themselves on Board the Return without taking leave of the King and retired to Bavaria on the 18th of April leaving the gross of their Effects in Bantam to-fetch which there were three other Ships sent viz. The new Midlburg the Went and the great Fly-Boat Delphs-Haven all which with some of the English Company that were necessary to Ship the Goods and enter them returned to Bavaria full Loaden with Peper c. As also the Houshold stuff of the aforesaid Company to Bavaria all which they could not have done unless the Dutch Company had not interceeded with the King and helped them for that King and People were so set against them that they could not get a Boat nor a Porter to help Ship their Goods but all was ●lone by help of the Dutch the King being greatly Incensed at the Conduct of the English as to himself and was greatly wondered that the Dutch Companies should speak in their favour or be helpful to them by reason 't was apparent they by their Ar● in Traverseing Guns did most hurt to our Ships as well as the Bostil The Dutch Company also sustained great loss for want of four Ships so long and although the English were obliged to give us our Ships sooner especially when they had other Ships of their own from several Quarters besides two English Ships belonging to particular persons that were earnestly desired by the Dutch Company to Ship the aforesaid Goods But the English imployed their Ships in other Expeditions and let our Ships lye Loaden with their Effects and Lumber before Bavaria The matter of fact being layed down in the aforesaid Relation we refer it to the Wisdome of your High and Mighty Lordships to consider whether or no there be any Foundation for such severe Complaints and Demands of satisfaction for Dammages and injuries sustained as also to withdraw our Troops from thence Amsterdam Printed by Paul Matthowson by Order of the Governors of the Dutch East-India Company and Reprinted by Langely Curtis at the Sign of Sir Edmund-bury Gadfrey's Head near Fleet-Bridge
