4°, 4 pp.

Royal decree issued during the Regency under Philippe II, Duke of Orléans temporarily suspending the effective monopoly of the Compagnie de Saint-Domingue by authorizing all French merchants, regardless of status, to send ships carrying provisions and goods to the settlement of Saint-Louis on the coast of Saint-Domingue for six months; prompted by urgent shortages among the colony’s inhabitants and the company’s failure to supply them adequately, as well as internal disputes among its directors, the measure aims to ensure subsistence, maintenance, and commercial activity in the colony while preserving, in principle, the company’s privileged rights granted in 1698, and explicitly forbids the company from obstructing this temporary free trade.
