The juridical conflict concerning the merchant vessel De Vriendschap, boarded and inspected by the English in the spring of 1745, reflects the difficulty in respecting international treaties and the imperatives of war. After becoming a neutral power in the eighteenth century, the Dutch Republic tried to preserve its commercial shipping under the motto ‘free ship, free goods’, drawing on old treaties such as that concluded with England in 1674. The aim was to bag the freight and at the same time to prevent the nations at war from declaring the cargoes of Dutch merchants ‘bonne prise’. During the War of Austrian Succession, the situation in the Mediterranean deteriorated around 1744–1745, when the increasingly exasperated English seized neutral merchantmen carrying merchandise for France. Very different actors then intervened and imagined pragmatic solutions for complex tangles. A direct negotiation at the highest level led to the repudiation of the Admiralty of Port Mahon.

国际条约与“bonne prise”：1745 年在地中海的荷兰商船 De Vriendschap 的案例

1745 年春天英国人登上并检查商船 De Vriendschap 的司法冲突反映了尊重国际条约的困难和战争的必要性。在 18 世纪成为中立国后，荷兰共和国试图在“免费船舶、免费货物”的座右铭下保护其商业航运，并借鉴了 1674 年与英国签订的旧条约。目的是将货物装袋同时防止交战国家宣布荷兰商人的货物为“bonne prise”。在奥地利王位继承战争期间，地中海局势在 1744 年至 1745 年左右恶化，当时越来越愤怒的英国人扣押了为法国运送货物的中立商船。然后，非常不同的参与者进行干预并为复杂的缠结设想了务实的解决方案。最高级别的直接谈判导致马洪港海军部的拒绝。
