Treaty of Alliance among Great Britain, the Netherlands, and DenmarkVII. His majefty the king of Great Britain, and their High
Mightineffes, promife to pay 300,000 crowns fubfidy per
annum to his majefty the king of Denmark, all the time that the
war continues ; and it fhall be paid in good bank money at
Hamburgh every three months. And in cafe it does not come to
a war, but that the prefent differences fhould be pacified by an
accommodation, and that the troops of his majefty the king of
Denmark fhould be actually on the march towards the frontiers
of the ftate, his majefty the king of Great Britain, and their High
Mightineffes, fhall, in fuch cafe, be at all the charge of raifing
thofe troops.
And if an accommodation be made after the ratification of
this treaty, but before the actual march of the faid troops
towards the frontiers of their High Mightineffes, the king of
Denmark fhall content himfelf with one year’s fubfidy, and a
quarter of the fum ftipulated for the levies.
VIII. His majefty the king of Great Britain alfo promifes in
particular, to pay to his majefty the king of Denmark what
remains due to him, by virtue of the convention in 1689, as well
for the transportation of 7000 men to Ireland, as with regard to
what ftill remains due to the faid troops out of their pay, in cafe
it appear by infpecting the accounts, that the whole has not
been paid ; and the fame fhall be caft up in a year after the ratifi-
cation of this treaty, and the payment afterwards be made, with-
out delay, in the city of Hamburg.
IX. And in order to remove every obftruction out of the way,
his majefty the king of Denmark is willing to recede from all
demands, which he may have upon their High Mightineffes, on
condition that their High Mightineffes oblige themfelves to pay
thofe fums for his majefty, which are demanded of him by the
province of Holland, and the city of Amfterdam, and to reftore
to his faid majefty, the bonds which his late majefty king Freder-
ick III. of glorious memory, gave to the faid province and city.
X. His majefty the king of Denmark promifes to fend to the
affiftance of his majefty the king of Great Britain, and their
High Mightineffes, as foon as the prefent treaty is figned, 3000
horfe, 1000 dragoons, and 8000 foot, of the kingdom of Den-
mark, and the country of Holftein ; which troops fhall be duly
mounted and armed, and furnifhed with their officers and gen-
erals. The faid troops fhall take an oath of fidelity to his majefty
the king of Great Britain, and their High Mightineffes, in the
fame manner as the 7ooo men of the Danifh troops did for-
merly to his majefty the king of Great Britain, when they
entered into his fervice. The difpofal of vacant commiffions,
and the adminiftration of juftice, fhall be upon the fame foot as
they were, with regard to the faid 7000 men. His majefty the
king of Great Britain, and their High Mightineffes, fhall pay for
the raiting of the faid troops, 80 crowns for every trooper, 60 for
every dragoon, and 30 crowns for every foot foldier : one half of
this money fhall be paid as foon as the faid forces are actually on
their march towards their High Mightineffes frontiers, and the
other half when they are all arrived there. The pay and mainte-
nance of thofe troops, fhall be on the fame foot as that of the
other troops of their High Mightineffes, and the money fhall be
advanced to the Danifh Commiffaries, for them to diftribute it,
without any difcount or deduction ; and the pay shall com-
mence from the day that the faid troops begin their march
towards the frontiers. And if it fhould be thought proper to
tranfport the troops that are to come from Denmark and
Holftein, either in whole or in part, by fea, towards the coun-
tries in the dominion of the States, the faid tranfportation fhall
be at the expence of his majefty the king of Great Britain, and
their High Mightineffes; and in cafe of neceffity, they fhall be
permitted to make ufe of the fhips of his majefty the king of
Denmark, or thofe of his fubjects, to facilitate and haften the
faid tranfportation. His majefty the king of Great Britain, and
their High Mightineffes, may keep the faid troops in their fer-
vice, as long as they think fit ; and when they are for fending
them home, they fhall let his majefty the king of Denmark
know it three months beforehand. Mean time, if any rupture or
war happen, the faid troops fhall, neverthelefs, continue in the
fervice of his majefly the king of Great Britain, and their High
Mightineffes, as long as the war lafts, unlefs his majefty the king
of Denmark fhould be attacked in his own kingdoms and
dominions, for having furnifhed the faid troops ; in which cafe
his majefty the king of Denmark referves to himfelf the right
and power of recalling them, as foon as he thinks neceffary.
XI. In cafe that one or more regiments or companies of the
faid troops have the misfortune to be ruined, his majefty the
king of Great Britain, and their High Mightineffes, promife to
pay, without lofs of time, to the colonels or captains of the regi-
ments or companies ruined, the neceffary fums to recruit and
replace them on the fame foot as before. And at the end of the
campaign, the fame fums for recruits fhall be paid to the Danifh
officers, as are paid to the other officers of their High Mightin-
effes ; to the end that the faid troops may be always kept up in a
good condition, to be fent home in due time, in as good order as
they came.
XII. In like manner his majefty the king of Great Britain, and
their High Mightineffes promife, that if his majefty the king of
Denmark be attacked, or difturbed in the poffeffion of his king-
doms, provinces, territories, tolls, navigation, commerce, or
other rights, they will fpeedily fend back the faid troops, and
give them a month’s pay, to bear their charges home ; which
month’s pay fhall be advanced likewife, when the faid troops are
fent home after the conclufion of a peace. And befides, they
will fend to his majefty the king of Denmark, the fuccours both
by land and fea, which are ftipulated in the fecret articles of the
treaty of 1690, which fuccours they will maintain, during the
war, at their own expence ; only the king of Denmark mall be
obliged to furnifh them with bread and forage.
XIII. And for rendering this alliance and union ftill more
perfect, and to leave the parties no manner of doubt as to the
certainty of the fuccours, which they may expect from one
another in the manner agreed to as above, it is exprefsly con-
tracted, that in order to form a judgment hereafter, in what cafe
this alliance exifts or not, if any one of the parties be actually
attacked by force of arms, though it has not made ufe of any
