Fractured Debate on Dutch Trade and French Prizes in War
A long extract discusses Dutch commerce during conflict with France, citing treaties and laws on neutral shipping, prize rules, and enforcement. It cites French regulations to justify seizing enemy property on Dutch ships and outlines conditions for neutral ship papers, crews, contraband, and licenses, ending with a note on Swedish campaign criticisms and a shipboard disaster tale from India.
