"At last the spirit of the nation is roused, and I fear the consequences, if your court does not make immediate and exemplary satisfaction. The Burgomasters of Dort assembled the committee of merchants, on the 6th instant.
The merchants of Rotterdam were called together the 7th, and on the 8th the Council of Amsterdam summoned the committee of merchants of that city.
