Written in response to a protest from the United Provinces delivered by the Count de Welderen.
Although maintaining a formal neutrality during the American Revolution, the Dutch Republic sold weapons to the rebellious colonists, resulting in British reprisals against Dutch vessels. This work makes the case for British seizures of munitions-laden Dutch ships destined for the revolting American colonies.
It was printed for private circulation among neutral maritime courts, and printed in French, which was the language of diplomacy at the time.
