Prohibition and Trade Edicts Amid Barbary Conflict
A royal ordinance bans certain merchants and traders from keeping local books in a native tongue and imposes severe penalties for infractions. It prohibits imports from England, requires declaration of goods within fifteen days, and authorizes sale of unregistered items at public venues. It asserts no exemptions for military or court figures and orders publication by war council. The document references Barbary state governance, wartime trade controls, and enforcement measures across dominions.
