A LETTER FROM THE States of Holland, TO THE Duke of Savoy: Upon his Rejecting the Advantageous Proffers made to Him by the Pope's Nuncio, at Turin, on His Masters Part; in the Behalf of France, to conclude a separate Peace.  

Published by Authority.   

May it please Your Royal Highness,  
WE cannot desist from testifying our Thankful acknowledgement to Your Royal Highness, for the timely Notice your were pleased to give us, and the rest of the Confederates, of the Advantageous Proffers, made to Your Royal Highness on the Pope's part( by his Nuncio, at Your Court) in the Behalf of France, for Concluding a separate Peace: And behold with Sorrow, that the Pope should have such Thoughts of Your Royal Highness, as that You should any ways Incline to such Propositions, that were of so Ill and Dangerous a Purport. But, on the other hand, cannot but rejoice, that this has given a new Occasion to Demonstrate the Faithfulness and Resolution of Your Royal Highness; and that thereby You have given a Manifestation thereof to the whole World.  
And it is exceeding Grateful to us, to understand the Discreet and Resolute Answer, which Your Royal Highness made to those Specious Propositions for the entering into a separate Truce or Peace, which has given, the rest of the Confederates an Example of a Resolution, not to entertain any Propositions of the like Nature, but to remain steadfast to the Treaty of Alliance, hoping that God would so bless their Good Undertakings, that they altogether, and each apart, by a General and Firm and Peace, may arrive to a full Security; and considering the great Advantages that arise from Your Royal Highness to the Confederacy, we cannot but look upon Your Generous Declaration with the more Value and Esteem, and do greatly rejoice, that we are so happy, as to be joined as a Confederate with Your Royal Highness; and shall be always ready to Manifest the high Esteem we have for Your Royal Highness, by our firm Adhe●ing to our Treaties and Alliances, and shall be always ready to show to the World, that Your Interest and Security shall be as Near and Dear to us, as our own; and that we desire nothing more than an Opportunity to give Demonstrations of our Sincere Affection, &c.
