But on the contrary the Day before Yesterday when we stopt the Persian Bark which would have passed our Fleet we proffered your Truchman David all our own Boats for to help the said Ship to unlade both because we would not hinder them in their Affairs as also to secure our own Ships from the threatned Mischiefs which by the swerving of the Enemies Boats pretending to come in the Name and by the Order of the English might have befallen us But it seemeth you were rather prone thus unjustly to accuse us that we should have detained your Goods which were only the two Cases of Rose-water than to embrace the kind Proffer of our Boats. The said David your Truchman took the two Cases into the Scute wherein he came from Land at the same time the Bark came on Board of us and himself carried them away with him And forasmuch as it seemeth to be your wonted manner by intricate and practised Insertions to render things obscure this your ungrounded Accusations are not strange unto us as having since this Expedition with much Patience born all the Calumnious Reproaches wherewith you have a long time sought to make us odious to the Persian Nation to retard our Agreement with them Especially promising them to make us with six of your Ships to retire out of this Road and out of Kismus Of all which we have sufficient Proofs to shew and withal to make it appear we had not given you the least Reason or Provocation thereto All which hath been to the apparent Damage of our Company And besides this ye seek also to constrain us to let our Enemies Barks to pass and repass our Fleet. Wherefore in the Name of the Netherlandish East-Indie Company we do Protest we are Innocent of all the Blood Slaughter Losses and Inconveniences which shall result from thence on the one or other Hand Given in our Ship the Blaw-Hulck laying in the Road before Gamron Was Signed R.

A JUSTIFICATION OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE Netherlands East-India Company As it was delivered over unto the High and Mighty Lords the States General of the Vnited Provinces the 22d of July 1686. Upon the Subject and Complaint of Mr. Skelton Envoy Extraordinary from the King of Great Brittain touching the Affair of Bantam and other Controversies at Macassar and on the Coast of Mallabar and at Gamron in the Gulf of Persia Likewise a JUSTIFICATION in Answer to the several Memorials lately given unto the States General by the Marquess of Albeville touching Meslepatam and other Places in the Indies Translated out of Dutch by a good Friend for the Satisfaction of all such as are Impartial Judges of the Matters now in dispute between the two Companies Printed at LONDON in the Year 1687. LONDON Printed for Samuel Tidmarsh near the Royal Exchange 1688. TO THE HIGH and MIGHTY LORDS THE STATES GENERAL OF THE UNITED NETHERLANDS High and Mighty Lords IN obedience to your Highnesses Letter addressed the 30th May 1686. unto the Praesidial Chamber of the East-India Company at Amsterdam being pleased to command the said Company in Relation to your Highnesses Resolution of the same Date to transmit with the very first an Information unto a certain Memorial presented by Mr. Skelton Envoy Extraordinary of his Royal Majesty of Great Brittain unto your Highnesses the second of the said Month touching the Business of Bantam and moreover containing Complaints of what passed in the East-Indies at Gamron Mallabar and Macassar with demand of Reparation Hereupon the Regents or Directors of the said Compan● of this Nation have with all due Respect this to say First Concerning the first Point specifying th● Business of Bantam That although your Puissant Highnesses may very well remember all what hath hapned and passed since the Month of May 1683 when firs● those Clamours and heavy Complaints were made by Mr. C●udlie Extraordinary Envoy in the Assembly o● your Puissant Highnesses and thereupon soon after more fully dilated and deduced by Sir John Chardin both viv●●voce and in Writing Nevertheless assuring our selves that it will not be unacceptable to your Puissant Highnesses that the said Memorial be again somewhat afresh reiterated the aforesaid Regents of the East-India Netherlands Company will with Permission of your Puissant Highnesses make a short Recital First of what in the beginning was done here in Holland by Conference and Treaties and also afterwards continued and further Progress thereof made in England by the Lord Ambassador Citters according to the Order given him by your Puissant Highnesses and consequently of the Proceedings held in England by Committees on both sides and what further was acted in the same and so come to the Principal Matter to demonstrate as briefly as possibly may be how unreasonable and wholly ungrounded those Complaints are which in the beginning were so clamorous and then will fully justifie the Government of Batavia in their Managements and Proceedings in those Affairs What concerns the first Mr. Chudlie Extraordinary Envoy by his Memorial of the 25th of May of the aforesaid Year 1683 complained to your Puissant Highnesses that the Government of Batavia had in a manner altogether extraordinary outragiously dealt● with the English East-India Company and by main force driven them out of their ancient Place of Residence at Bantam and that in so strange a manner that not any one Example a thing rather to be buried in silence than related of the like nature can be produced And therefore requiring that the said Netherlandish Company should be obliged to draw back their Troops out of Bantam re-establishing the English there again and to make Reparation of the Losses by them sustained But Sir John Chardin beforementioned who by the foresaid English East-India Company was s●nt hither in Commission did somewhat mitigate these Complaints apparently because they were so horrible Extravagant And instead of accusing the Government of Batavia as if they had driven the English out of Bantam did content himself to say that it happened through the Suggestion and Counsel of Major St. Martin who commanded the Netherlandish Troops at Bantam in Chief and that it was he that d●sposed the King to put forth the English out of Ban●●● And although all he affirmed was without any Proof but only grounded on a Conjecture yet that which is to be wondred at is that he would form a Publick Memorial on so slight and weak Grounds And although the Bewinthebbers were at that time infurnished with such Elucidation of Matters as is requisite not yet having then any of their Ships re●●●ed out of India and what they knew in the Business was by Letters only sent in English Ships from England where the said Letters were held up some 〈◊〉 the Seals broken and opened and then afterward ●●●nded to the Correspondent of the Netherlandish Company at London notwithstanding they omitted not according to the knowledg they had attained to give your Highnesses Informations and Answers to their Complaints Whereupon your Puissant Highnesses having given an Answer to the said Chudlie and Chardin unto which the English Company in some passages of their Writing do appeal soon after with the good liking of your Puissant Highnesses a Treaty began with the forenamed Chardin and the Netherlandish Company and the Business was so far advanced that on both sides a final Agreement was assuredly expected whereas on a sudden Mr. Chudlie and Sir John Chardin pretending to have Command and Order from their King to put a stop to the Business the aforesaid Treaties here was unexpectedly broken off however was with Consent of your Puissant Highnesses who desired nothing more than to compose and conclude if possible this matter in a Friendly way continued in England whereunto the Lord Ambassador Citters was furnished with full Order and Power both from your Puissant Highnesses as also from the Company here But hereupon the English hightning their Demands and as appeared afterward even in their Reply of which shall be spoken hereafter they avowed to have other Designs intending to re-establish themselves at Bantam unto which end in the latter part of the Year 1683 they prepared a great Fleet well manned to effect the same but this their Design as themselves affirm and complain that they might not put it in Execution as being hindred by the now deceased King of happy Memory Hereupon this Treaty was stopt and no further Progress made therein until at length it pleased his said Majesty to make way for the prosecuting of the Agreement prescribed Anno 1674 between his Majesty and this State to wit That the Differences should be determined and composed by Committees on both sides who to that end according to the aforesaid Convention were to assemble together at London The which being also approved by your Puissant Highnesses there was erected a Tribunal Court consisting of Eight Committees Four on each part before whom after that the Parties on both sides had divers times appeared about
