By the King , A PROCLAMATION For the keeping of Markets to supply the City of London with Provisions , and also for prevention of Alarms and Tumults , and for appointing the Meeting of Merchants . CHARLES R.

WHereas most of the places wherein Markets were kept in our City of London are destroyed by the late fire , We are desirous , That Our loving Subjects may nevertheless be furnished with a constant Supply of Provisions , as well as the present Exigency will permit : It is therefore Our will and pleasure , That Markets be kept and held within and without Bishops-gate , at Towerhill , and Smithfield every day of the week , and also continued in Leaden-hall-street upon the daies wherein they have been accustomed to be held . Requiring all persons whom it may concern , duely and constantly to resort unto the places , and at the times above mentioned , We having taken care to secure the said Markets in safety , and prevent all disturbances by refusal of payment for their Goods , or otherwise . And We do further charge and command all Mayors , Sheriffs , Iustices of the Peace , and other Our Officers and Ministers within the Counties from whence Provisions are or have been usually brought to Our said City of London , to take notice of this Our Will and pleasure , and to use their utmost diligence and Authority to see the same performed accordingly .

And whereas through the temerity and unadvisedness of some persons , groundless fears and apprehensions have been and may be cast into the minds of our people , to prevent all Tumults and Disorders which may thereby or otherwise arise , it is Our Will and pleasure , That upon any Alarm raised or taken , no man stir or disquiet himself by reason thereof , but only attend the business of quenching the fire , We having in our Princely Care taken order to draw together such a sufficient force both of Horse and Foot in and about Our said City , as may abundantly secure the peace and safety thereof , and prevent or repress any Attemps whatsoever that can be made to disturbe the same .

And whereas the Royal Exchange is demolished and burned down by the late fire , It is Our pleasure , that Gresham Colledge in Bishops-gate street be for the present the place for the usual meeting and assembling of Merchants in the same manner as heretofore the Exchange was .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall the sixth day of September 1666. in the Eighteenth year of Our Reign . God save the KING .
