THE French King's New Declaration: IMPORTING, That such of his Subjects as have left France upon the Recalling the Edict of Nants, and shall serve in the King of Denmark's Troops, or retire to Hamburgh, shall enjoy the Moiety of the Revenues, arising from the Estates they have in his Majesty's Dominions.  
By the KING.  
HIS Majesty having been informed, that several Officers of his Troops, and other his Subjects, who since the publishing of the Edict in the Month of October, importing the Revocation of that of Nants, have departed the Realm, and are withdrawn into England and Holland, as into Neutral Countries, are at present in Perplexity, through the apprehension they have of being obliged, on occasion of the present War, either to bear Arms against their true Sovereign, or to lose the Maintenance they have in these Countries; And his Majesty being willing to afford them the Means of not falling into such a Crime, which has ever been had in abhorrence by the French Nation, and to avoid the other Inconvenience, his Majesty hath ordered, and does Order, Will, and Command, that all those of his Subjects, of whatever Quality they be, that have departed the Realm, on the Account of the Recalling of the said Edict of Nants, and shall repair into Denmark, there to serve in his Danish Majesty's Troops, that Prince being in Alliance with his Majesty, or shall retire to Hamburgh, may enjoy the Moiety of the Estates they have in France, and in the Countries that are in subjection to his Majesty, upon making appear every six Months, by a Certificate in good and due form from his Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of Denmark, or from the Resident for his Service at Hamburgh, that they will serve in the Troops of his said Danish Majesty, or hold their actual Residence in the said City of Hamburgh, which shall be returned unto them by the said Ambassador and Resident; and upon such Certificates, which they shall cause to be represented every six Months to the Intendants of the Provinces and Generalities of the Realm and Countries in subjection to his Majesty, where their Goods and Estates are situated, the seizure of the Moiety of the said Goods shall be taken off by the said Intendants. His Majesty Orders and Commands his Ambassador at the Court of Denmark, and his Resident at Hamburgh, as also the Intendants of Justice, Polity, and Finances, in the Provinces and Generalities of the Kingdom and Countries in subjection to him, to interpose and assist each, as shall belong to him, to the observing and execution of these Presents, which his Majesty will have Published and Affixed upon his Frontiers and the Coasts of his Realm, and every where else, as occasion shall require, that so his said Subjects may be informed hereof.
