Late ADVICES from ENGLAND.
DECLARATION of the King of,Den
mark and Norway, to the /Courts of
London, Versailles and Madrid. ,
« TF the most exa& and perfed neutra
-1 lity, with the most regular navigati
on, and the nioft inviolable refped to
treaties, could have kept free the fubje&s
cf the King of Denmark and Norway,
from the inroads of the powers with whom
he is at peace, free and independent, it
would not be necessary to take measures
tj insure to his fubjeds that liberty to
which they have the most incontroverta
b!e right. The King of Denmark has al
ways founded his glory and his grandeur
upon the esteem and confidence of the
neighbouring people. It has beeh his
rule, from the beginning of his reign, to
teftify to all the powers, his friends, a
conduct the most capable of convincing
them of his pacific intentions, and of his
desire to contribute to the general happi
ness of Europe. His proceedings have
always been conformable to these princi
tiAC -^^Qwhich nothing can be alledg
not, till now, addressed hirn
he powers at war, to obtain a
lis griefs ; and he has never
noderation in his demands, nos
acknowledgments when they have receiv
ed the success they deserved ; but the
neutral navigation has been too often mo
lested ; and the most innocent comme ce
of his fubjeas too frequently troubled, so
that the King finds himfelf obliged to
take proper measures to assure to himfelf
and hisallies, the fafety of commerce and
navigation, and the maintenance of the
infeperable rights of liberty and indepen
dence. If the duties of neutrality are sa
cred, the law of nations has also its rights
avowed by all impartial powers, establish
ed by tuftom; and founded upon equity
and reason. A nation independent and
neuter does not lose, by the war of others,
the rights which she had before the war,
because peace exists between her and all
the belligerent powers. Without receiv
ing, or bein^ obliged to follow the laws
of either of them, the is allowed to follow
in all places (contraband excepted) the
traffic which (he would have a right to do,
-if peace exiftea with all Europe as it ex
ists with her. The King pretends to no
thing bey nd what the neutrality allows
him. This is his rule, and that of his
people ; and the King cannot acccord to
the principle, that a power at war has a
right to interrupt' the commerce of his
fubje&s. He thinks it dife jo himfelf and
his fubje&s, faithful observers of these
rights, and to the powers at war them
selves, to declare to them the following
principles, which he has always held, and
which he will always avow and maintain,
in concert with the Empress of all the
Ruffias, whose fentimerats,e finds entire
ly conformable with his own.
I. That neutral vessels have a right to
navigate freely from port to port, even
on th^coafts of the powers at war.
IL That effects of the fubje&s of the
powers of war (hall be free to neutral ves
sels, except such as are deemed contraband.
IL That nothing is to be understood
under the denomination of contraband,
that is r.ot expressly mentioned as such in
the thirl article of his treaty of commere
£hip which the neutrality can admit>of.
Th§ King will never recede from these
principles; griefs he is forced to it ; he
knows the duties and the obligation, he
fefeeds them as he does his treaties, and
desires no other than to maintain them.
His majesty is persuaded that the bellige
rent powers will acknowledge the justice
of his motives, that they will be averse as
himfelf to doing any thing tha,t may op
press the liberties of mankind, and that
they will give orders to their admiralty,
and to their officers, conformable to the
principals above recited, which tend to
the general happiness and interest 'of all
Europe.

with Great. Britain; in the year 1670, and
the 26th and 27th articles of his treaty of
commerce with France, in the year 1742 ;
and the King will equally maintain these
rules with those powers with whom he has
no treaty. '=
IV. That he will look upon that as a
fort blocked up, into which no vessel can
entef without evident danger, on account
of vessels cf war Rationed there, which
form an effectual blockade.
V. That these principles serve for rules
in procedure, -and that justice Oiall b'e ex

VI. His majesty does not hesitate to de
clare, that -he,will maintain these princi
ples, with the honour of his flag, and the
liberty and independence of the commerce
and navigation of his fubjeds ; and that
it is for this purpose he has armed a part
of his navy, although he is desirous to pre
serve, with all the powers at war, not on
