AW. i2. alacrity with which the Guards offered

}lo Z uc, November 12. On the loth inst. Sir Joseph
Yorke prefonted to the States Central a Memorial con
cerning the five papers found among# those of Mr. Lau
rels, late President of the Congress. It is to the follo-v
----ing purport : “

.the union that has fobufted between him and this Rfcpub

ATpr tnd as Tt ever was knoyfe to contribute greatly to the
advantage of both nations, thfeir natural enemy has set to.

time such attempts liave mcr with but too great a success
be,ng countenanced by faftion that wiftes to rule over
the wuoie RcpuMick, and is ever ready to focrifice the

prove the touchfcoue 6f your intentions and fetftiments to*
wards his Majesty,
For a long timdpaft his Majesty has had rturabdrlef* for*
mises of the dangerous delight hatched by an unbridle<f
faction; bat the papers of the Sieur Laurens, calling him*
felf the pretended Cortgrefa, have fed to the
difeovery of a plot unprecedented in the annals of the Re
pufehek. Jt appears bj*the papers alluded to that the State#
of Amsterdam hafe entered into a clarideftine Correspon
dence with the American Rebel* so early as the month of
Augrsft 177X5 that infthi&iotia aed powers hav* bee# *i
tJ>em for thfe purpose of entering into a treaty ®#
mdiffolubie fnendfliip with the said Rebels, natural fob
jes of a’ bovereig# to whom the RepubUck is joined by
the ftrifteft ties of friendlhip. The authors of this plot
do not pretend to deny it. They on the contrary avow
and labour, though in vain, io juftify it. In these cir
cumstances the King, relying on the equity of your High
Mlghtinenes, requires that so irregular a conduft may bd
formally disavowed, as it is no less contrary to yonr moft
facied engagimentl than repugnant to the Duteh conft'i
tuthwr. The King further iafifts on Speedy fatisfadion,
equate: to th offence, and the exemplary puniffiment
the Pen lion ary Van Berkel, and hi* accomplices,’ as dis-
violators of the right! of
- nations. Wi him/c7f thaf o#
pur High Mightineffcs will be speedy and to the purpose
in every refpefl ; but if the contrary (hobld.be the case, and
your HighWightintfles (hould refufe to Comply yrith so just
a rrqueft, or endeavour to p ifs it over in silence, which’
will be deemed as a denial, the King caijnot but look on
the whole Republick as approving offoifdeeds which they
would refufe to disavow or punifc; and in foch a safe his
Majesty will think himfelf obliged to take foch ftep* a*
