: LONDON : %uly x. The following is a tranflation ©f the famous memorial prefented to” the . States General by two hundrgd and fixty nine merchants, which is kept very fecret “in Holland. % ¢ We the under figned merchants, in- furers, and others, concerned in the com- merce and navigation of the State, moft humbly reprefent, That the violences and unjuft depredations committed by Englith men of war and privateers on the veffels and effe@ts of the ftate, are not only con- tinued, but daily muliplied, and cruelty and excefles carried to fuch a height, that the Petitioners are forced to implore the affitance of your high Mightineffes, that the commerce and navigation of the Re- public, which ate the two finews of the State, may fuffer no interruption, and be protected.ia the moft efficacious manner, in order that the being of the State may be preferved, and that it may be kept from’ complete and final ruin. ¢ The petitioners fhall not infert here a long recital of their thips that have been illegally ftopped and feized, nor of the pi- racies and violences that have been com- mitted for a confiderable fpace of time, on the fubje&s of the Republic ; nor of the alts of inhumanity with which they were often attended, even fo far, that lefs cruelty might have been expeted from a declared enemy, than they have fuffered from the fubje@s of a power with whom the State is coonefted by the moft folemn treaties of friendfhip. The whole is public and no- torious. ' < Nor will the Petitionersenlarge on the infults offered to the Dutch Flag, in con- tempt of your High Mightinefles, the na- tural proteétors of the Republic. Thefe faéts areknown to your High Mightinefles. ¢ But the petitioners beg leave to repre- fent, with all due fubmiflion, that they cannot forbeas to lay their juft complaints before your High Mightineffes who are the wprotectors of their perfons, their eftates their commerce and navigation ; and to lay before you the indifpenfable neceflity of putting a ftop, as foon as poffible, to thofe depredations and violences. The Petitio- ners offer to contribute each his contingent, and to arm, at their own charge for the fupport and pretection of their commerce and navigation. ¢ The Petitioners flatter themfelves that their toils, and the rifk to which their ef- fe@tsare expofed on the feas, will have their proper influences on the general body of the ftate ; fince the Traders of this country, finding themfelves left to the difcretion of a part of that nation with whom the ftate is moft intimately conne&ed.- Thoufands of tradefmen and others, who are conneét- ed with merchants that have hitherto car- ried on a flourifhing trade, will be reduced to diftrefs and poverty ; thofe connetions ceafing by the extinttion of the eftates of merchants, who have always approved - themfelves faichful to their country, thefe will be reduced to abandon it, to their great regret, and feek fhelter and proteéi- on elfewhere ; which will give a mortal blow to the principal members of the ftate. ¢ For thefe juft caufes, the Petitioners have recourfe to your High Mightineffes, moft humbly imploring them both in their own names, and in the name of a multitude ople, who are on the point “of being fript of all their effeéts; of fink: ing into the utmoft diftre(s and being re- duced to beggary, that it may pleafe your ‘High Mightineffes to grant to commerce ‘and navigation fuch fpeedy, vigorous, and effetual prote€tion, that the faithful fub- - jeés of this free State may enjoy their pof- feflions in full fecurity. And your Petiti- “oners, &c.” : oSe oo o B o6 00 o6 v oG5 e e ol Bo oS 2o oo . JUST - PUBLISHED - And ready to be delivered to theSubfcribers & others, By Benjamin Mecom, .
