FINIS ARTICLES Touching NAVIGATION COMMERCE Between the most Serene and Mighty PRINCE CHARLES II. By the grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the Faith c. And the High and Mighty LORDS The States General Of the UNITED NETHERLANDS Concluded the 21 31 day of July 1667. Published by His Majesties Command In the SAVOY Printed by the Assigns of John Bill and Christopher Barker Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty 1667. Articles of Navigation and Commerce between the Most Serene and Mighty Prince Charles the Second by the Grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the Faith c. and the High and Mighty Lords the States General of the United Netherlands WHereas by those Articles of Peace Vnion and Alliance which are this day concluded between His Majesty the King of Great Britain and the States General of the ●nited Provinces it is specially and carefully provided That all the dismal and calamitous effects of War may forthwith cease and that the Peace so much desired by all may be restored in all Kingdoms and Dominions of both Parties and unto all their Subjects and Inhabitants And the measure of time and affairs hath not permitted them to weigh in an equal Ballance and thereby exactly to adjust all and every thing and things which were to be observed and considered about the foresaid Articles especially about those which belong to the Rules of free Navigation and Trade and that it may be feared the Inhabitants and Subjects of both Parties may fall back again into new Quarrels and Dissentions and the Differences now composed may bleed afresh if they be not bound up by some certain Laws about those things which concern Navigation and the use of Trade Therefore by the Mediation and endeavours of the Swedish Ambassadors the forementioned Parties have further agreed unto these Separate Articles I. THat all such Proclamations and Acts of State which either Party hath published by reason of this War to the prejudice of the other Party against the liberty of Navigation and Trade be abrogated on both Sides II. That for the Elucidation of that Act which the King of Great Britain caused to be published in the year 1660. For the Encouragement of Navigation in his own Subjects whereby strangers are prohibited to import any Commodities into England but such as are of their own growth or Manufacture it may be lawful for the States General and their Subjects to carry also into England in their Ships all such Commodities as growing being produced or manufactured in Lower or Upper Germany are not usually carried so frequently and commodiously unto Sea-Ports thence to be transported to other Countries any other way but through the Territories and Dominions of the United Netherlands either by Land or by Rivers III. Whereas the King of Great Britain hath heretofore pressed That Merchandise and Commodities on both Sides might be reduced to a certain and convenient Rule the States General also have always aime at the same mark That Merchandise should be bounded and circumscribed within some certain Laws of perpetual Observation And yet that business seems to require longer attention and labour then that it can be speedily dispatcht to the satisfaction of both Parties They are both content to remit the same unto a fitter occasion that Commissioners on both Sides may meet together assoon as may be after this Peace is concluded who may resolve and agree about specifying and circumscribing the species of Commodities and the Laws of Navigation and may set the same down in new and mutual Covenants Yet lest in the mean time the Inhabitants and Subjects of both Parties should be in suspence and doubt as not knowing what kinds of Commodities it may be lawful or unlawful to carry or supply unto the Enemy of either Party after the manner and form of Warlike provisions or succours or under the title or pretence of Merchandise It is likewise covenanted and agreed That the Treaty of Navigation and Commerce made between the Most Christian King and the said States General beginning from the 26. unto the 42. Article inclusively in that manner and tenor wherein they follow here inserted in the French language may provisionally serve for a Rule and Law and so make way for the perfecting of a larger and fuller Treaty concerning Maritime Commerce between the abovementioned Parties The foresaid Articles follow 26. All the Subjects and Inhabitants of

France may with all safety and freedom Sail and Traffick in all the Kingdoms Countreys and Estates which are or shall be in Peace Amity or Neutrality with France without being troubled or disquieted in that Liberty by the Ships Gallies Fregats Barques or other Vessels belonging to the States General or any of their Subjects upon occasion and account of the Hostilities which may hereafter happen between the said States General and the abovesaid Kingdoms Countreys and Estates or any of them which are or shall be in Peace Amity or Neutrality with France 27. This Transportation and Traffick shall extend to all sorts of Merchandise except those of Contraband 28. This term of Contraband Goods is understood to comprehend only all sorts of Fire-Arms and their Appurtenances as Canon Musquets Mortar-pieces Petards Bombes Granadoes Saucisses Pitched Hoops Carriages Rests Bandeliers Powder Match Salt-peter Bullets Pikes Swords Morions Head-pieces Cuirasses Halberts Javelins Horses great Saddles Holsters Belts and other Utensils of War 29. In this quality of Contraband Goods these following shall not be comprehended Wheat Corn and other Grain Gums Oyls Wines Salt nor generally any thing that belongs to the nourishment and Sustenance of life but shall remain free as other Merchandise and Commodities not comprehended in the precedent Article and the Transportation of them shall be permitted even unto places in Enmity with the said States General except such Cities and Places as are besieged blocked up or invested 30. It hath been agreed That the Execution of what is abovesaid shall be performed in the manner following That the Ships and Barques with the Merchandise of his Majesties Subjects being entred into any Port of the said States General and purposing to pass from thence unto the Ports of the said Enemies shall be only obliged to shew unto the Officers of the Port of the said States out of which they would go their Passports containing the Specification of the Lading of their Ships attested and marked with the ordinary Seal and Signing acknowledged by the Officers of the Admiralty of those places from whence they first came with the place whither they are bound all in the usual and accustomed Form After which shewing of their Passports in the Form aforesaid they may not be disquieted nor searched detained nor retarded in their Voyages upon any pretence whatsoever 31. The same course shall be used in regard of the French Ships and Barques which shall come into any Roads of the Countreys under the Obedience of the said States not intending to enter into the Ports or being entred thereinto not to unlade and break Bulk which Ships may not be obliged to give account of their Lading but in case of suspicion that they carry unto the Enemies of the said States any Contraband Goods as was abovesaid 32. And in case of such apparent suspicion the said Subjects of His Majesty shall be obliged to shew in the Ports their Passports in the Form above specified 33. But if they were come within the Roads or were met in the open Sea by any of the said States Ships or Private Men of War their Subjects for avoiding of all disorder the said Ships of the United Provinces shall come no nearer unto the French Barks then within Canon-shot and may send their Long-Boat or Shallop on Board the French Ships or Barks and cause only two or three men to go on Board unto whom the Passports and Certificates shall be shewn by the Master or Pilot of the French Ship in the manner above specified according to the form of the said Certificates which shall be inserted at the end of this Treaty by which Passports and Certificates proof may be made not only of the Lading but also of the place of the Abode and Residence as well of the Master and Pilot as of the Ship it self to the end that by these two wayes it may be known whether they carry Contraband Goods and that the quality as well of the said Ship as of its Master and Pilot may sufficiently appear Unto which Passports and Certificates entire faith and credit ought to be given And to the end that their validity may be the better known and that they may not be in any wise falsified and counterfeit certain marks and countersigns of His Majesty and the said States General shall be given unto them 34. And in case any Merchandise and Commodities of those kinds which are before declared to be Contraband and forbidden shall by the means aforesaid be found in the French Vessels and Barques bound for the Ports of the said States Enemies they shall be unladen and declared confiscate before the Judges of the Admiralty of the United Provinces or other competent Officers But so that the Ship and Barque or other free and allowed Goods Merchandise and Commodities found in the same Ship may not for that cause be in any manner seised or confiscate 35. It was furthermore Agreed and Covenanted That whatsoever shall be found Laden by His Majesties Subjects upon a Ship of the Enemies of the said States although the same were not Contraband Goods shall yet be confiscate with all that shall be found in the said Ship without exception or reservation But on the other side also all that shall be and shall be found in the Ships belonging to the most Christian Kings Subjects shall be free and discharged although the Lading or part thereof belong to the said States Enemies Except Contraband Goods in regard whereof such rule shall be observed as hath been ordered in the precedent Articles 36. All the Subjects and Inhabitants of the said United Provinces shall reciprocally enjoy the same Rights Liberties and Exemptions in their Trade and Commerce within the Ports Roads Seas and Estates of His said Majesty as hath been newly said which His said Majesties Subjects shall enjoy in those of the said States and in open Sea It being to be understood that the equality shall be mutual every way on both sides And even in case the said States should hereafter be in Peace Amity and Neutrality with any Kings Princes and States who should become Enemies to his said Majesty either of the Parties are mutually to use the same conditions and restrictions expressed in the Articles of this present Treaty which regard Trade and Commerce 37. And the more to assure the Subjects of the said States that no violence shall be offered them by the said Ships of War all the Captains of the Kings Ships and others His Majesties Subjects shall be charged and enjoyned not to molest or endamage them in any thing whatsoever upon pain of being punished and made answerable in their Persons and Goods for the Damages and Interests suffered and to be suffered until due restitution and reparation be made 38. And for this cause the Captains and Capers shall from henceforth every one of them be obliged before they go out to give good and sufficient security before Competent Judges in the summe of Fifteen Thousand Liures
