A PROCLAMATION Declaring the Letters of Mart formerly granted to George Carew Esq to be recalled.  
CHARLES R.  
WHereas George Carew Esq had formerly granted unto him Letters of Mart against the State's General of the United Provinces, for Satisfaction of a certain Demand which Sir William Courteen and others had against the said States, and to which he the said George Carew was Entitled from and under the said Sir William Courteen; which said Demand has since by Treaty of Peace between His Majesty and the State's General of the United Provinces, been totally abolished and extinguished, and all Letters of Mart and Reprisal by the same Treaty discharged accordingly; And whereas His Majesty hath since, pursuant to such Treaty, Recalled and Superseded under the Great Seal of England the said Letters of Mart, and all Authority or Commission whatsoever to Equip or Set out any Ship or Vessel by virtue of the same: To the end therefore, and that no person or persons whatsoever be hereafter misled by the said George Carew, under pretence of any Letters of Mart or Commission heretofore granted unto him, and thereby incur the danger of the Law as Pirates, The Kings most Excellent Majesty doth by this His Royal Proclamation, (by and with the Advice of His Privy Council) Publish and Declare, That the said George Carew hath now no Authority or Commission by virtue of any such Letters of Mart or Reprisal, to Equip or Set out any Ship or Vessel whatsoever, and doth hereby straight Charge and Command, that no person or persons whatsoever do hereafter presume to be aiding and assisting to him the said George Carew, in Setting forth any such Ship, nor Serve under him by colour of any such pretended Authority, upon pain of being proceeded against as Pirates, according to the utmost severity and rigour of the Law.  
Given at Our Castle at Windsor the 26th day of August 1680. in the Two and thirtieth year of Our Reign. 
 God save the King.
