THE
ADVERTISER,
H AGU E', March 23.
The memorial which the Chevalier York, Ambassa
dor Extraordinary from his Britannic Majesty, fur
niflied to the States General the 21st of this month,
is as follows : < ; -7
HIGH and MIGHTY LORDS,
'y H E King my master. has always cultivated the
1 friendship of Your High; Mightinetfes; hath al
ways looked upon the alliance that subsists between
the two nations as. founded on the wisest principles and
the most essential to their mutual interest, the chief ob
jeas of this alliance, built on the immutable basis of
a commbri interest, are the fafety and prosperity of
the two states, the maintajnance of the public tran
quility, and the preservation of that just ballance
which the ambitious policy of the House of Bourbon
has so often disturbed..
When the Court of Versailles, in dire& violation of
public faith and the common rights of all Sovereings,
had broken the peace by a league formed with his Ma
jely's rebellious fubjem, avowed and formerly de
clared by the Marquis de Noailles, and when France
Shewed her designs, by her immence preparations, to
annihilate the maritime power of England; the King
might have expelled tbit your High Mightinesses, too
much enlightened not to iifcern that the fafety of the
republic is closely connected with that of Great Bri
tain, would have hastened to his assistance. One of his
Majelly's firft care was to acquaint your High Mighti
nesses with every circumflance "cf this unjust war. and
in the critical situation in which his Majesty was; he
did not forget the interest of his ancient allies, but, on
the contrary, teftified his the sincerest defire' to ford
the commerce and free navigation of the republic, as
much, as the fafety of his people would permit. He
even dififted for a long time to demand the fucconrs fli
pulated by treaty; thus fulfilling his engagements
without claiming the accomplishment of those of your
High Mightinesses. The claim was not made tiil af
ter t.e united force of France and %ain flawed itfeff
ready to fall upon England, ,and to attempt an inva-.
fion by theaffiftance of a formidable fleet. Although
('r kings enemies were fatfrated in that enterprise,
yet they meditate the fame design,; and it is dy the ex
press order of his Majesty that the undersigned, renews
herein in the most formal manner the demand d,the
fuccours stipulated by different treaties,and particular
ly that of the year 1716)
Hitherto your High Mightineffe& have kept filencb
on so essential an article, whilst they have infixed on
a forced interpretation of the Treaty of Commerce cf
the year 1674, again ft the abuse of : whjch Great Bri
tain hath at all times protected, this interpretation
cannot be reconciled with the clear and precise flipula
tions of the secret article in the Treaty of peace in the
fame year. An article of a Treaty of commerce can
not be annulled by so essential an article of a Treaty
of peace; and both are exprefly comprehended in the
principal Treaty of Alliance of 1678, by which your
High Mightinesses are obliged to furnifh his Majefly
With the fuccours that he claims. They (the ftatos) are
too just and too wife not to perceive that all the en
gagements between the two powers ought to be mutu
ally and reciprocal!, observed, and they bind the con
trasting parties, although hontrafted at different peri
ods. This incopteflible principle applies here the more
forcibly, as the Treaties of 1716 renew all the for
mer engagements between the cr&vn of England end
the republic, arid, as it were, incorporates "them to
gether.
Betides the under-signed had orders to declare to
your High Mightinesses that he is ready to enter with
them into a conference to Regulate, in a friendly man
ner, every thing that may be necessary to avoid a
misunderstanding, and prevent every disagreeable in
cident in concerting measures equitable and advantage
ous to the refpeßive fubjefts. This friendly overture
has been refufed in a manner as une^peaed as it ww
extraordinary; and unusual between friendly powers.
And,, without paying any attention to the repeated
representations, as well public as in secret, in regard
to convoys;, your High Mightinesses have not only
granted those convoys to different kinds of warlike
flores, but have eXprefly decreed that a certain num
ber of ni^n pf war should be ready to convoy, in fu
ture, every kind of warlike stores defined to the ports
of France ; and, that, even at the time when the fub
jefts of the republic enjoy a free and ample liberty of
commerce by virtue of the said Treaties, even far be
yond what the law of nations grant to neatral pofr
trs-,
This resolution, and the orders given to Rear Ad
miral Count dh Byland, forcibly to appose the Search -
ing of merchants ships, hath given ground to an event
which' his Majesty would have strongly desired to
have prevented; but it is notorious that that Admiral,
in consequence of his inftruftions, fired firft on the
boats which carried English colours, and were sent to
visit them in the manner prescribed by the Treaty of.
1674. This was then a manifeft aggreffron; a direct
