A PLACAT Of the High and Mighty Lords the States General of the United Netherlands Conteining a sharp Prohibition to the Inhabitants of these Lands and also concerning the Navigation and Commerce of the Neutrals to the Havens of France and England and also Goods of Contrabande and Assurances of Ships and Goods belonging to the Subjects of the Kings of France and Great Brittany THe States General of the United Netherlands to all those who shall see or hear read these Presents Greeting Do make it known that since the Kings of France and Great Brittany have found good to declare and begin a War against us contrary to all right and reason we are therefore necessitated according to the Law of Nature and the Right of Nations to take up Arms as well for the necessary Resistance of the aforesaid hostile proceedings as for Redress and Reparation of the damages and losses thereby unjustly susteined and consequently on our side likewise to enter into an open Rupture against the aforesaid Kings And further we to the aforesaid end and especially for so much as in us is to prevent all further mischief from that side are obliged and holden according to our power and as far as it may be without prejudice to our Allies Friends and Neutrals according to the Law of Nations to intercept and hinder the aforesaid Kings from the Commodities and Provisions with which they might be able to do further injury to the State of these Lands and the good Inhabitants of the same SO IT is that we have found good and judge it necessary to Ordein and sharply to forbid all those who are under our Obedience and friendly to advertise and warn all other Nations who are in Alliance Friendship or Neutrality with this State And we do Ordain forbid and warn respectively by these I. FIrst That from this time forward none of the Subjects of these Lands shall transport out of these Lands or out of any other Lands Kingdoms Places or Towns carry or transport directly or indirectly to any Havens Islands Towns or Places of France England Scotland or Ireland or others under the Obedience of the aforesaid Kings of France and Great Brittany any Wares Goods or Merchandize of what sort quality or nature the same may be none excepted or also to hold in any manner any correspondence and communion with the Inhabitants of France and England aforesaid or those that belong to them by Letter or otherwise tending to the Prejudice of these States and also that no man in the World although Stranger and no Inhabitant of these Lands shall without these Lands transgress that which is aforesaid upon pain to be punished therefore without any connivence as an Enemy of these States and further upon the Forfeiture of all the Ships and Goods which we can find that have been designed to be conveyed to France or England aforesaid or other Places aforesaid or the value thereof in case they be already carried out or cannot otherwise be come at II. And whereas according to the duty of all lawful Superiors we are obliged to protect and defend our good Inhabitants and Subjects with all possible means against Force and Oppression we cannot according to common Right and the Practice of all Nations be obliged to suffer that the aforesaid Kings or their Subjects should be supplied by any one in the world with such Necessaries and Materials wherewith they may apparently be enabled to offend us and our Inhabitants therefore we would by these have all our Allies Friends and Neutrals and generally all People and Nations to be advertised and seriously intreated and warned that during the present Differences between this State and the aforesaid Kings of France and Great Brittany that they will not send out carry or transport from any Lands Kingdoms Places or Towns directly or indirectly to any Havens Towns or Places of France England Scotland or Ireland or others under the obedience of the said Kings any Ammunition of War or other Materials useful to the setting out of Ships of what name sort quality condition or nature soever they may be none excepted because our meaning is to take and confisque for good Prize the aforesaid Materials for War and Ships which shall be found to be laden to be carried thither contrary to this our Advertisement and Ordinance III. And to prevent the aforesaid Transportation with the better security and to provide in special that no Victuals Materials for War or Ships may be carried out of these Provinces under false pretences So shall no man from henceforward lade in these Lands or cause to be ship'd any kind of Victuals or any of the aforesaid Materials to be carried or transported to any of the Lands Towns or Places of the Allies Friends or Neutrals of this State without having first obtained the special consent of the Court of Admiralty in whose District such Lading or Shipping shall be done and over and above the payment of the Lands Duty shall have put in sufficient Caution of twice the Value of the Goods to be transported that they shall be carried and unladen in no other place than in the Kingdoms Havens Towns and Places of the aforesaid Friends and in no manner directly or indirectly at any Places of France England Scotland and Ireland or others under the obedience of the aforesaid Kings and that within a certain convenient and sufficient time to be expressed in the Pass-port according to the Condition and Distance of the Places to deliver over Certificate or other sufficient Evidence to make it appear that all the aforesaid Victuals or Materials have been unladen and landed in the whole at the Place for which they were declared and entred to be carried to or in case of faileur and that the aforesaid expressed time shall be passed the Surety for the aforesaid double value of the exported Victuals or Materials of War and Shipping shall be presently taken in Execution for the Sums they were taxed and valued at at the Time of giving the Caution IV. Further we do order all our Inhabitants and Subjects and do advertise and warn all our Allies Friends or Neutrals and generally all People and Nations that will sail from this State to any Kingdoms Lands Towns or Places lying East West or Northward or would come from thence hither to keep the Open Sea because we understand and declare by these that all the Ships that shall be found upon the Coast of France England Scotland or Ireland or other Lands Islands or Places under the Obedience of the Kings of France and Great Brittany and especially within the Banks and shallow Waters along their Coasts and whereas they cannot but be suspected to have designed something against this our Ordinance and Advertisement therefore if they shall be laden either in whole or part with any Ammunition of War or Materials for Ships they shall be taken by the Captains and Officers of War and Privateers of these Lands and sent in to
