Mr. Simon Van Halewiin 's SENTENCE.  
WHereas Mr. Simon van Halewiin, born at Dort, and Burgher-Master Senior of the same place, at present Prisoner in the Gatehouse of the Court of Holland, has confessed without torture, and being without Iron-Fetters, that he went out of this Country last year about three Days after the Fight of Steenkirk, to travel into Germany and Switzerland.  
Partly (as he says) out of curiosity to inquire into the Present State of the Frontiers of Germany and France: And  
Partly to inform himself, if possible, by Monsieur Amelot the French Ambassador in Switzerland, of the King his Master's Intention concerning a General Peace in Europe.  
That by both these Designs (as he farther says) he has had no other aim than to acquire more Knowledge and Experience by which he might regulate his Conduct to the best advantage of the Public, and to a fuller discharge of his Duty in the administration of the Affairs of his Country.  
That the Prisoner, being arrived at Solethurne in Switzerland, had addressed himself to the forementioned Amelot; ask him,  
1st. If he was able to give him any information of the King his Master's Intention about a General Peace.  
2dly. If his Master was inclinable to deliver up some considerable Frontiers to secure the Spanish Netherlands, and this Country.  
That the said Ambassador had answered him to both in the affirmative; but telling him also, that he was not able, nor impower'd to give him any Particular; that this was work for a Treaty; but yet if the Prisoner would be pleased to stay there some time, than he (the Ambassador) would write to Court, and give him certainly a positive Answer.  
That he had replied, That it was not convenient for him to stay there any longer, to prevent several Reflections.  
That the said Ambassador having asked him, Who he was, and if he had any Relations and Friends in the Government; the Prisoner answered him, That his Name was Simon van Halewyn; that he was Burgher-Master Senior of the City of Dort; and that he had a Brother who had yet a greater power in the Government.  
That the said Amelot during their Conversation, having asked him further, What success he thought that King James might have had in his intended Descent, in case the French had not been beaten at Sea? the Prisoner answered him, That it would have been a very weak Enterprise, considering the general aversion the English had for King James.  
That the Prisoner to refute some Arguments which Amelot had made use of to show how much this State ought to desire a Peace, told him; That it was true enough, that the most considerable Families of our Country suffered very much by heavy Taxes, as having great Estates in Land, which carried the greatest Burden; but that the Merchants were very gently treated for the benefit of Trade; that the Taxes on real Estates could cause at the worst but a change of their Masters, which did not at all concern the State in general, and considered in abstracto; adding withal, in order to the clearer proof, that the present War did not lessen the Power of the State; that although there were some losses in Trade on one hand, yet that they were repaired on the other, by a considerable Sale of the Manufacturies; and that it was certain that there were much more Ships built now, than before the War.  
That even their Losses at Sea did not incommode them very much, since the greatest part of their Ships and Cargo were insured; and that it was in vain to imagine that there was no difference if the Loss were sustained by the Proprietors or Insurers, because the latter sufficiently repairs it, by what they gained from Ships that safely arrived in the Harbour; and that the result of all was, that those who stood in need of the Goods, were to pay a greater price for them.  
These and several other Arguments the Prisoner avers that he made use of, in order to exaggerate the power of the State.  
The Prisoner says farther, That the said Amelot having asked him if there were some grounds to hope, that some of those that were at the Helm of the Government, were inclinable to a peace? he answered him, that this did depend upon the particulars of the Proposals relating to it; and that except some considerable Frontier places were delivered up to the Spanish Netherlands, there was no true Dutch man who would not rather sacrifice the last Slyver he had, than to think of a peace.  
That after some other Discourse, the Prisoner agreed with the said Amelot, that he the said Amelot was to send him some body to let him know by word of mouth an answer of the two above mentioned Questions, and that a printed Book should be sent to the Prisoner as a Token that the King did continue in his Inclination for a general peace, and that a Messenger should follow.  
That they had further agreed, that the Prisoner, as a Token that he had received the Book, should send a Letter of Trade to one Handecourt, living at Paris in St. Honore-Street, at the Sign of the Arms of England, which should also serve for an Advertisement that he was arrived in the Country.  
That the Prisoner told the said Amelot, that whereas he might perhaps make a tour into England, it would be necessary to let him know what time a Messenger would be sent him, for fear of his being disappointed; and that to assure him the Letter came from Monsieur Amelot, a certain Mark should be put upon the outside of it.  
That according to these concerted Measures, the Prisoner received last Harvest the said printed Book, with two Letters of a different date; one of which gave him notice, that he was to receive the said Book, and the other was accompanied with it.  
That the said Letters were signed Finberlon, which the Prisoner judged to be a fictitious Name; that he showed them to no body, and burned them a little time after the receipt of them.  
That the Prisoner had sent a Letter to the said Handecourt, of which the following Copy was seized amongst his Papers.  
I'Ay bien receu vas deux letters, datées de I' onzieme et quinzieme de ce mois, je tacheray a fair vendre vos actions de Novembre, selon les ordres que vous m'y donnez. Je voudrols que vous me pouviez envoyer au plutost mon conte, car il faut que l'ajuste icy mes Affaires, avant que je puisse faire mon voyage d'Angleterre, qui presse d'autant plus que les bleds montent icy àa un prix excessif, & si on y veut faixe le negoce, que nous avons prosetté, it faut qu'on le fasse au plutost, car pour faire un achapt vonsiderable en detail it faut du temps pour prendre ses mesures, et si on ne le fait pas en detail, il n'y arien à gagner.  
The same in English.  
I Have received your Two Letters, dated the 11th and 15th of this Month. I'll endeavour to sell your Actions of Novembre according to your Orders; and I wish you would send me speedily my Accounts, for I would fain adjust my Affairs here before I go into England, which cannot be put off very long, considering the excessive Rate that Corn is risen to, and sold at here; and if we will trade in it according to our Project, we must do it speedily, because there is much time required to buy a considerable Quantity by Parcels, and if it be not done by Parcels, nothing is to be won.  
The Prisoner says, That he had disguised his hand in this Letter, and put a false Name to it, because he was willing to avoid the Offence, which in case of discovery it would have given to those that did not like he business.  
He adds, That by these words in the Letter; Je voudrois que vous me pourriez envoyer au plutost mon conte. (I wish you would send me speedily my Accounts). He understood the Person that was to be sent to him; and that by the following words, he did not understand the business of a Peace, the gaining of Friends, and the working out of that Peace.  
That afterwards, according to his agreement with Monsieur d▪ Amelot, a certain Frenchman, named Roberti de Pillé du Plessis, being arrived at Dort, had met him there in an Inn, called the Logement van de heeren. That the said Frenchman asked the Prisoner, if he was the Man that had been with Monsieur d' Amelot in Switzerland, and whether he had received the formentioned Book; and he having assured him of both, the said Roberti discovered himself to him, and acquainted him with the reasons of his coming.  
That the Prisoner having asked the said Roberti what Conditions he had to propose for a Peace: The said Roberti answered him, That he had no orders to make any overture of it, and that at that time he was far from giving any Satisfaction about the Questions the Prisoner had proposed to Amelot: The said Roberti on the other hand asked him, Whether the Prisoner had any thing to propose to him relating to a Peace with this State and its Allies? To which the Prisioner replied, he had not; that it was contrary to the Agreement made with Monsieur Amelot, who had promised to inform him what Sentiments the Court of France had about a General Peace; and that thereupon having pressed the said Roberti to endeavour to see himself put in a condition of giving the Prisoner some satisfaction about the said point, the said Roberti promised him, that he would not fail to do it.  
That after some time the Prisoner having asked the said Roberti whether he had received an Answer of a Letter which he had promised to write into France, in order to know the Proposals the Court of France was willing to make for a Peace; the said Roberti answered him (as he says) that he had both writ, and received an Answer about it, which was, That the Court did not think fit to explain herself about the Particulars before she knew what success Monsieur d'Avaux would meet with at the Court of the King of Sweden, whom he was to entreat to offer his mediation for a Peace between the Confederates and France. And that since that time the Prisoner did remain in these Terms with the said Roberti.  
That the Prisoner went afterwards with the said Roberti to a Countryhouse of his at Abbenbroeck, where they remained two or three days together.  
That during their stay there, the said Roberti having told the Prisoner, by way of discourse, that he could not comprehend the form of the Government of this State; the Prisoner explained it to him, as also that of the City of Dort in particular, which the Prisoner said, was yet more intricate.  
That in recompense of it, the said Roberti informed the Prisoner of the present State of Affairs in France.  
The Prisoner says, that he had no other Design in carrying the said Roberti to his Countryhouse, but to discourse with him about the Architecture of a House he was building there.  
He protests, that he had never asked any Money of the said Roberti, but that riding from Abbenbroeck, and being near the Sluice, the said Roberti had offered him a considerable Sum for the better carrying on of his Building.  
That the Prisoner having refused the acceptance of it, by telling him: Que ses petites affairs n'avoient pas besoin de ce secours, i. e. That his small Affairs did not stand in need of such a Supply, the said Roberti replied: Que si ce n'estoit pas pour le batimêt, que ce fut donc pour la petite oye, i. e. That if it was not for his Building, it should be for his little Pleasures.  
He further adds, That at the same time the said Roberti offered him this Money, the Prisoner told him, that he looked upon it as a great piece of Villainy to accept of any Bribe. That he had always wondered, that in the former Wars some had been found here, who had been so far warped and corrupted by it, as to abandon the general interest of Europe; and although he had no aversion to the receiving of an honest Recompense from those from whom he might lawfully receive it, yet that he hated all Bribes.  
That since that time, the Prisoner has had several other enter views with the said Roberti, wherein he always told him, that whereas the Court of France might easily have imagined, that he had not desired any one should be sent him to treat about indifferent Matters, but about the agreement of some favourable Conditions for a Peace, he was willing to let him know, That as soon as he should be assured of the French King's Inclination for a Peace, he was inclinable to make an overture of it to the Magistracy of the City of Dort, who should afterwards propose it to the Assembly of the States of Holland, that so in due time it might be taken into their mature Consideration.  
And although the Prisoner confesses that he had perused the Articles of the Treaty concluded between this State and the Confederates, by which an Agreement was made, on what grounds a Peace was to be concluded; that no Treaty about it ought to be set on foot without a general Concurrence, and that every one of them should acquaint the other with what might happen to them in particular, that should tend towards it: Yet he alleges in his Defence,  
That a Declaration of War does only prohibit an unlawful Correspondency to the prejudice of the State.  
That it is agreed on all hands, That to endeavour to procure a Peace, is not at all prejudicial to the State; that it is so far from that, that those who employ themselves about some honest means of obtaining it, should be looked upon as Criminals, that they rather deserve to have a Stature erected them, and that he was willing to do it, though it was at the peril of his Life.  
Afterwards having desired leave to speak with freedom, the Prisoner said, That being before the High Court of Justice of his Country, he had a great mind to convince them, that it was none of his fault, that Lives and Estates were sacrificed to men; and that he would rather die, than see it longer continued, and to play on dobbe dobbe dob, and fan far for the King of England.  
Whereupon being ordered to retire, the words were recorded by the Clerk; and the Prisoner being called in again, and the words read to him, he was asked if they did not exactly correspond with what he had said; to which he answered, That he was not able to repeat the very same words, which he had spoke in the heat of his Defence; but that his meaning was, That he thought it was so far from a man's being looked upon as a Criminal to the State, for endeavouring by honest means to promote a Peace, that he rather deserved to be commended for it; and that he should sooner wish to die this very moment, than see things reduced to such Extremities.  
That he had never had so ridiculous a presumption of his own capacity, as to think himself able, nor that indeed he had been willing to procure a Peace, a work of so great consequence, against the general Opinion and the Sentiments of others; but that he thought that in case some solid and reasonable Proposals of peace should be offered, it being a thing so necessary and so salutary for this State, that every true Patriot would have readily, without any other reason, have embraced them; the Prisoner withal assuring his Judges, that what Steps soever he had made in this Affair, they were occasioned by nothing else but a sincere Intention of his to promote the true Interest of this State.  
That, in fine, the Prisoner at a time when some suspected persons, who were seized at the Hague, at the Sign of the King of Spain, had wrote a Letter to the said Roberti at Amsterdam without either Name or Date, and having his Hand disguised therein, with the following Contents: On. vient de me dire que l' hoste au Roy d' Espagne & quelques Espions sont arrestez c' est à vous à prendre vos mesures. I am just now informed that the Landlord and several Spies, lodging at the Sign of the King of Spain, have been seized. It belongs to you to take your Measures accordingly.  
That by this he would have given the said Roberti to understand, that possibly some search might be made after him too, and that he had endeavoured to prevent the finding out of the Correspondency which he entertained with the said Roberti.  
The Prisoner confessing that he had undertaken all this without giving notice of it to any body, and without being empowered by any of the Princes now in Confederacy with this State, either to make, or to receive any overture for a general Peace.  
All which being opposite to the Duty of a good Subject, much more to that of a Magistrate, and most of all directly contrary to the concluded Treaties, as also to the several Proclamations of the State, which expressly had forbidden all Subjects whatsoever of this Country, to entertain any correspondency or commerce directly or indirectly, either by Letters or other means, tending to the prejudice of this Country, with France or its Subjects, upon pain of being proceeded against as declared Enemies of the State, and they being besides things of an ill aspect, and of a dangerous consequence, deserving to be highly punished for the Example of others:  
For these Reasons,  
The said Court, after a mature deliberation, and a full examination of all things relating to this Affair, administering Justice, in the Name, and by the Authority of the Supreme Magistracy and Lordship of Holland, Zealand, and Friezland, has condemned the said Prisoner, and does condemn him by these Presents, To be carried to a secure place, to remain a Prisoner there during life, declaring also all his Goods and Estate to be confiscated for the use of the Supreme Magistracy, and condemning him besides to the payment of all Expenses of Justice, according to the Estimate of the said Court. Actum in the Hague by our Lords and Masters, Matthews Gool, Benjamin Fagel, Seigneur Ʋander Weer, John Munter, Francis Keetlaer, Paul Andrew vandr Meulen, Charles Filips van Dorp, Iman Cau; Anthony Slicher, and Frederick Roosenboom, Senators of Holland, and pronounced July the 31st, 1693.

Robert de Pille du Blessis' SENTENCE, Pronounced by the Court of Holland, Zeeland and Friezland, July the 31st, 1693.  
Whereas Robert de Pille du Plessis, seven and fifty Years old, born at Clamsy in Burgundy, at present Prisoner at the Gatehouse of the Court of Holland has confessed without Torture, and being without Iron-Fetters,  
That he has been sent hither by the French King last Year, to treat about a Peace.  
That he has received some Instructions about it by the French King, but that having read them over and over again, and consequently knowing the Contents of it by heart, he had burnt the Written Copy at Mons, partly because he did not think it safe passing through an Enemy's Country, to keep it about him, partly to execute the Orders which he at parting received from that Court.  
That at Mons he had received a Passport from the Elector of Bavaria, which the Governor of that place had obtained for him under the Name of Robert du Plossis, Picture Drawer.  
That he had also been provided with a Passport from Monsieur dei Neuf ville Envoy of the King of Poland at the Court of France, containing amongst other things, that he was a dealer in Pictures, going into Poland in order to carry to that King some Pictures, which he had bought for him by his Orders.  
That with these Passports he arrived in the Spanish Netherlands, from whence he came to the Hague in January last, without any Passport from this State.  
That according to his Orders received from the Court of France, he had addressed himself to the Burgher-Master Senior, Simon van Halewyn, ask him, If he was not the person that had been with Monsieur Amelot in Switzerland; and having afterwards told the said Burgher-Master who he was, and the reason of his coming, he had asked the said Burgher-Master, if he had not received a little Book as a Token that some body should be sent to him.  
That the said Burgher-Master having answered him in the Affirmative, the Prisoner had further asked him whether he had any Proposals to make relating to a Peace.  
That the said Halewyn had answered him (as the Prisoner pretends) that it was not time yet, that the face of Affairs was changed, and that the Prisoner must allow him some time to take some new Measures.  
That he had thereupon asked the said Halewyn (as he says) if there was then no hopes left, and if it was fit for him to departed; Halewyn had answered him, No, but that he should wait some time to see if some favourable opportunity, and some good Disposition in the State should offer itself.  
That he had talked at several times and places with the said Simon van Halewyn, and concerted within several Measures about this Affair.  
That after their first interview, they had met at several times at the Voorhout, a place before the Court at the Hague; and that about a Month ago being come to the same place about Seven a Clock at Night, according to the said Halewyn's Assignation, the said Halewyn had told him, That he had a written Project about him, but that he had refused to deliver it to him, nor to trust any body with it, because he had writ it with his own Hand.  
That the said Halewyn had carried the Prisoner to the Ouden doole, where he had dictated to him the said Project.  
That the said Halewyn had brought with him to that purpose some Paper, but finding no Ink there, the Prisoner had found himself obliged to write it into his Tables.  
That the said Halewyn after having dictated to him the said Project, had burnt the Original of it.  
That afterwards the Prisoner having told the said Halewyn, that though they were in a Tavern that yet they had drunk no Wine, and that people might very well suspect they were come thither for some other purpose than to drink, the said Halewyn had poured out some Wine upon the Floor, and into the Chimney.  
That the Prisoner has sent the said Project in a Letter into France the 19th of February last, the Contents of which are,  
That to prepare things for a Peace, it would be necessary to engage the King of Sweden to offer his Mediation about it to his Majesty of Great-Britain and this State.  
That there should by no means be made any Proposals of it, before they were assured that these Provinces were in a Humonr to accept it.  
That the means to bring them to it, were to endeavour secretly and cunningly to give a full prospect to those that had the greatest Interest and Authority with the Deputies of this State, of the sad Consequences that would attend a further Continuation of this War, to all the States in General, and to each in Particular, managing every body according to his Humour and Inclination.  
That although they were sensible enough of the Inconveniencies of the War, that yet this was not sufficient, but that it was necessary to gain some Deputies that would undertake to animate the rest by some bold Example.  
That no body was more proper for it than the two Brothers, Halewyn, as being Persons of great Credit, and of a competent Knowledge of Affairs.  
That over and above, the City of Dort, who had the first Vote of all other Places, might by her Advice, and manner of proceeding, teach others that were more timorous to despise the hatred of those that were not pleased with it.  
That after the Two Brothers had been gained, and the King of Sweden disposed to the offering of his Mediation, that then the Memorial which was to be presented about it to the States-General, should be concerted with the said Two Persons, who best knew how to humour it.  
That after this Memorial was presented to the States-General, and received by the said Provinces, and consequently brought into Holland, that then the respective Deputies should take it into their Consideration, except those of the City of Dort, who should instantly declare that they had already embraced it, that the other Deputies might acquaint their Principals with it.  
That to this purpose, it was necessary to gain the Eldest of the said Brothers by some Interest of Family, and to render them Masters in the said City of Dort, which being governed by a Commonalty might be easily appeased with words alone.  
These the Prisoner says, were the Content of the Project, although the said Simon van Halewyn expressly denies to know the least thing of it and that the Prisoner protests, That Simon van Halewyn has always told him, that his Brother had not the least knowledge of it, nor that the Prisoner has ever talked with the Eldest Halewyn, or any other Person.  
That the Prisoner has further declared to the Court, That he has sent several other Letters to the Court of France relating to this Affair, and especially one dated Febr. 13. 1693. by which he had informed that Court that Simon Van Halewyn had told him, That the two Joint-Fleets were to be Reinforced by a Squadron of Thirty Men of War.  
That although the Prisoner had denied to have offered any Sum of Money to the said Halewin, yet that he has confessed, That taking a walk with him at Abbenbroeck, and talking about his Building, he had said to the said Halewyn, upon his own account only, and by way of Compliment, That the King his Master was rich enough to offer him a little Present to the promoting of his Building, but that it seemed the said Halewyn had made no Reflections on it.  
That nevertheless; the Prisoner had writ into France for Money, and that thereupon he had been improwered by the French King in a Letter dated the 4th of March last, (which was intercepted during his Imprisonment) to promise to Simon van Halewyn, the Sum of Twenty thousand Crowns, in case he could by his Credit, and that of his Friends, persuade the City of Dort, to give such an Example to though other Cities in Holland, that thereupon a Peace might ensue.  
All which being, such Proceed, as in no Country where there is any Justice, aught to be suffered, as tending to the Destruction of the General Quiet and Tranquillity of the State, and the causing some Difference and Animosity (if possible) between the Confederates and this State; and consequently deserving Punishment for an Example to others:  
For these Reasons,  
The said Court, after a mature Deliberation, and serious Examination of all Matters relating to this Affair, administering Justice in the Name, and by the Authority of the Supreme Magistracy and Lordship of Holland, Zealand, and Friezland, has condemned the said Prisoner, and does condemn him by these Presents, To be carried to a secure Place, where he is to remain Prisoner during this War, and to be kept on his own Expenses; and does Banish him out of Holland, Zealand, Friezland, and Utrecht, without Liberty of returning thereto under pain of a severer Punishment, declares all his Goods confiscated to the profit of the Supreme Magistracy, and condemns him besides to all the Expenses of Justice, according to the Estimate of the said Court. Actum at the Hague by our Lords and Masters, Matthews Gool, Benjamin Fagel, Seigneur Van Fer-Weer, John Munter, Francis Keetlaer, Paul Andrew van der Meulen, Charles Philip's van Dorp, Iman Cau, Anthony Slicher, and Frederick Roosenboom, Senators of Holland, and pronounced July the 31st, 1693.
