WHereas the Port of Dunkirk ( which while it hath been in the hand of the Enemies of this Commonwealth , hath been very prejudicial to the Merchants and Trade of these Nations ) is now straitly besieged both by Sea and Land , by the English and French Forces ; and for that , during the said Siege , in respect of the greatness of that Army , there is and will be need of Supplies of Bread , Beer , Beef , Butter , Cheese , Hay , Oats , and other Provisions for Man and Horse , the want whereof may prolong the work intended , being of so great concernment to this Commonwealth : His Highness the Lord Protector , with the advice and consent of His Council , hath thought fit to publish , and Declare the same , inviting all Merchants , and others to send , with what expedition they may , for supply of the said Forces , such provisions as aforesaid , for which His Highness hath received assurance , that , upon delivery thereof , there shall be satisfaction in ready money , provision being already made therein , which as it may be of advantage to such Merchants , or other persons , in venting the said Commodities , so it will be esteemed as an acceptable service , and of great advantage to the Commonwealth . And therefore His Highness doth Order , that this Declaration be published , and posted up in all the Ports and Sea Towns of this Commonwealth , that notice may be taken thereof .

Given at White-Hall the 18th . of May , 1658.
