"Le port de Calais (...) va être incessamment sans port et sans navigation; cette clef de la France va cesser d'être une ville maritime, cette rade si utile et qu'on pourrait à peu de frais rendre un port asssuré aux vaisseaux du Roi dans la Manche, va être anéantie sans retour si votre vigilance & votre sagesse ne se hâtent d'y pourvoir. (...) Cependant, ne consultant qu'un intérêt sordide & particulier, méprisant ou mettant à l'écart le bien public & celui de l'Etat et du commerce, un sieur Mouron, marchand à Calais et sa compagnie, ont fait enclorre, depuis cinq à six ans, une plage considérable appelée Saline, située au bout du canal du port de Calais situé à l'ouest, proche le fort Nieulai, (...), laquelle enclôture a occasionné à l'entrée du port nombre d'écueils, a diminué la profondeur du chenail & du port, & il va se boucher insensiblement sans retour, de façon que le plus petit navire ne pourra plus y entrer".
