THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, Sept. 9, 1667

• "Treaty of Breda" announced to American Colonies
• Second Anglo-Dutch war ends

An early issue of this still publishing newspaper which began in 1665.
The front page has a report noting: "...the Magdalen Ulushing a swift sailing galling with ballast, which came out from thence on Sunday morning last, being sent express from the States to their Plantations in America carrying to them the treaty lately concluded at Breda...".
This is one of the earliest reports we have seen of a notable news report, the Treaty of Breda, being sent to the American colonies.
Complete as a single sheet issue, 7 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.

Background: This September 9, 1667 issue of The London Gazette—the world’s oldest continuously published English newspaper—is a rare and historic piece of early journalism that captures the immediate fallout of the Second Anglo-Dutch War. Its front-page report details the urgent transatlantic dispatch of the Magdalen, a swift Dutch flyboat sailing express from Flushing (Vlissingen) to deliver news of the newly signed Treaty of Breda to the American colonies. This report holds major geopolitical significance because the Treaty of Breda officially codified England's retention of New Netherland (renamed New York), solidifying British control over the Middle Atlantic coast in exchange for Suriname and the Indonesian spice island of Run. Seventeenth-century single-sheet issues of the Gazette are exceptionally rare in their own right due to fragile paper stock and limited surviving print runs, but surviving copies containing explicit, direct contemporary reporting on events shaping the permanent political landscape of Colonial America are virtually non-existent, making this pristine 7-by-11.25-inch leaf an extraordinarily desirable landmark artifact for collectors of early American and media history.
