A PROCLAMATION For prohibiting the Importation or Retailing of any Commodities of the Growth or Manufacture of the States of the United Provinces.

CHARLES R.

THe Kings most excellent Majesty having duly considered and weighed the present state of Affairs between Him and the States of the United Provinces, and finding the differences on their parts daily multiplied and heightned; and particularly, that they have prohibited the Importing and Vending of any Goods or Wares made in this Kingdom, or any His Majesties Domi­nions, into any their Provinces or Dominions, upon great Penalties; His Majesty hath therefore thought fit, and by and with the Advice of His Privy Council, doth hereby Publish and Declare, and also straightly Charge and Command, That no Goods, Merchandizes or Commodities whatsoever of the Growth or Manu­facture of the Dominions of the said States of the United Provinces, or of any of their Plantations or Factories wheresoever, shall at any time or times hereafter be brought or imported into any of His Majesties Realms or Dominions, or any Port or Creek of the same, or if hereafter im­ported, shall not be there retailed, uttered, bartered or sold by any person or persons whatsoever, upon pain of Confiscation and Forfeiture thereof to His Majesties use: Of which Confiscation and Forfeitures His Majesty is pleased the Informer shall have one Moyety. And hereof His Ma­jesties pleasure is, That all his loving Subjects, and all others whom it may concern, do take notice at their peril: And to that end doth hereby straightly Charge and Command, as well all and every the Officers of the Admiralty, as also all and singular Farmors, Customers, Comptrollers, Searchers, Waiters and other Officers, in all Ports, Havens, Creeks and other places, that they and every of them respectively take special care to see this his Royal Pleasure and Command put in due execution at their perils.


God save the King.
