No. 34./

My Lord, It is with some satisfaction, I have, at last, the honor of sending Your Lordship, the Edict by which the King of Denmark has prohibited the Exportation of Warlike Stores, and other Articles of Commerce, serving for Military Armaments, to the Danish Colonies.² It was sent me on Tuesday Night, after the departure of the Post, which sets out at Eight o'Clock. I have translated it verbatim, for Your Lordship's convenience. Count Bernsdorff seems to have much at heart, the Execution of this Placarte, and hoped the King and His Ministers would be convinced, that the Danish Ministers think themselves happy, in seizing every opportunity of proving, how much they covet to deserve the friendship of Great-Britain.
