A Proclamation for the explaining of a former Proclamation lately published, entitled a Proclamation prohibiting the importation of any goods or merchandise whatsoever, in any French Ships or Bottoms.  
WHereas by the advice of Our Privy Council We declared Our Royal pleasure by our Proclamation bearing date the eight and twentieth day of April now last passed, that no goods, merchandise or commodities whatsoever; of what condition or nature soever, should at any time, or times, then after be brought or unported into any of our Realms or Dominions, or any Haven, Port, or Creek of the same in any Ship, Bottom, or Vessel of or belonging to the French King: or any his Subjects, until Our pleasure should be further published and made known to the contrary: upon such pains and penalties as in and by the said Proclamation are contained and expressed, as by the said Proclamation, it doth and may more at large appear.  
Now lest there should be any evasion used, to frustrate the intention of the said Proclamation, and of Our Royal pleasure and command thereby declared, or any ambiguity in the true understanding thereof, We do hereby, by the like advice of Our Privy Counsel, will and command, and declare Our Royal pleasure to be; That all goods and merchandise whatsoever, of what condition or nature soever, which at any time hereafter, (until Our will and pleasure shall be published to the contrary) shall be found or taken, in any Port, Haven, or Creek, or upon the Sea or any River, in any Ship, Bottom, or vessel; of or belonging to the French King or any of his Subjects directly, or indirectly, to whomsoever the said goods or merchandise do or shall belong, shall be forfeited and confiscated unto Us: and as forfeited and confiscate, shall be seized to Our use.  
Nevertheless, Our will and pleasure is that if any such Ship, Bottom, or Vessel be taken or seized as prize by any of Our Subjects, or others by virtue of Letters of Marque, obtained from Us, or Our Admiral of England, that in such cases the goods and merchandise which shallbe found and taken in every such Ship, Bottom, or Vessel, shall be of the same condition to all intents, and purposes, and as lawful prize, as the Ship, Bottom, or Vessel in which they are found and taken aught to be, as if this Proclamation, had not been made; of which our Royal pleasure, all Our Officers and loving Subjects, and all others whom it may, or shall concern, are to take notice at their perils.  
Given at Our Court at White-Hall the twelfth day of May in the third year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. 
 God save the King.
