ME MORTAL presented by the British Minifies
to ther High Mightinesses the States of Holland.
HIS Majesty has seen with surprise the long silence
which has been observed concerning the Memorial
whichby his Majelly's orders the under-written had the
honour to prefect to ycur High Mightinesses above four
months ago, to demand the fuccours stipulated by treaties.
His Majesty would not have claimed the assistance of his al
lies, if he had not been fully authorifed thereto by the
threats, the preparations, and even the attacks of his ene
mies, and if he had not thought your High Mightinesses as
much intcrefted in the security of Great-Britain as in their
own preservation. The spirit and letter of treaties equally
declare this truth. Your High Mightioeffes have too much
wisdom and justice to difp~afe with its observance, parti
cularly as they themfclvcs solicited the addition of the
feparata article of the treaty of 1716, in which the cafus
federteis ftipuiated in a clear and inconteftible manner.
The hoftila declaration made at London, by the Mar
quis de Noailles, the attack of the Inland of Jersey, the
siege of Gibraltar, and all the other enterprizes as notori
ous, are so many proofs of a manifeft and well charafte
riled aggression. Betides, your High Mightioeffes have seen
during last summer, the combined forces of the House of
Bourbon evidently directing an attack on his Majesty's
kingdoms, and altho' the King's vigorous measures, the
zeal and patriotic eff rts of the British nation, accompa
nied with the divine blessing, have happily hitherto flop
ped the progress of those ambitious designs, the danger Rill
exists, and the enemies continue to threaten with the fame
parade and affarance, to make formidable descents and
invasions under the proteaion of all their maritime forces.
His Majesty can never imagine that the wisdom of your
High Mightinesses can permit them to remain indifferent
in regard to interests so solid and common to both coun
tries, and much lets, that they should not be convinced of
the justice of the motives, which have determined his Ma
jesty toclaim the fuccours whieh are due to him by so many
titles. HE Majesty would rather persuade hirrfelf, that
your High Mightinesses, having formed resolutions for the
augmentation of your marine, had thro' prudence delayed
their answer, until they would be in a better condition to
furnifhthat assistance. Therefore it is, that renewing the
ftro^R ioftances on that head, lam ordered to demand of
your High Mightioeffes in the most amicable manner, not
to delay your deliberations on the means of fulfilling as
soon as pdffibfe, those engagements. The determina
tion of your High Mightinesses is so necessary and so im
portant by its consequences, that his Majesty thinks he
should be wanting to himfelf, to his own fubjeds, and to
those of this Republic, if hedid not seriously recommend
this affair to the immediate and most mature deliberation
of your High Mightinesses. It is of the utm®ft impor
tance to ids Majesty to receive a precise and speedy an
swer on fe essential a matter.
His Majesty experts from the equity of your High
Mightinesses, that your answer will be agreeable to
treaties, and to Unfriendly sentiments he has always en
tertained for the Republic. On the resolution of your High
Mightinesses, his Majesty proposes to form such ultimate
meafufes, ashe shall judge best adoped to circumstances,
most agreeable to the security of his dominions, the good
of his fubjeds and the dignity of his crown.
