Copenhagen, Dec. 11. A Piece is published by Authority, entitled, An Exposition of the Affair of the Danish Settlement at Santa Cruz and Soffsia, whereby it appears, that the King, in sending M. de Longueville to negotiate a Treaty of Commerce at the Court of Morocco, meant nothing more than to obtain the same Advantages as were granted by that Court to other European Nations : But M. de Longueville exceeded his Instructions, and concluded a Treaty with the Son of the Emperor of Morocco, as hath been told already. His Majesty did not ratify that Treaty, foreseeing it would be attended with disagreeable Consequences; but while he was casting about to prevent them, he had Advice of the violent and unjustifiable Proceedings of the Emperor of Morocco, who was undoubtedly free to ratify or cancel the Bargain made by his Son, but ought by no Means to have violated the Law of Nations, &c.
