East India Trade Restrictions and Dutch Protests in 1653
In this fragment from The Daily Post the Treaty of Munster disputes over navigation to the East Indies are described. It cites a 1653 Dutch council ruling barring Bastian Brouwer from East Indies trade with a warning to stop Spanish subjects from similar routes, reaffirming limits on imperial commerce. The piece also notes subsequent quiet acceptance of archducal rulings and shifts in local loyalty, with mentions of ships arriving and officials taking recognizances.
