Declaration of the General Adminifiration 
of Lombardy. 
WHEREAS, notwithftanding the 
declaration of neutrality of the Hel- 
Yetic Republic, the inhabitants of 
the bailiwicks of Lugano and Be- 
linzona have openly favoured the 
defertion of the Auttrian prifoners ; 
whereas money, boats, and clothes 
are procured, and roads pointed out 
to them to join their armies ; where- 
as the magiftrates permit Auftrian 
and Englifh emiflaries to refide in 
thofe bailiwicks, from whence they 
endeavour to difturb the internal 
tranquillity of Lombardy; whereas 
the principal magiftrate at Lugano 
has dared to compel by force fome 
Lombards who refided in that town 
to lay afide the cockade of the firft 
335 
te Abe in Europe, which is the 
rench Republic: in fine, whereas 
thefe infringements of the neutral- 
ity difplay a tendency hoftile to the 
French Republic, and contrary to 
the good underftanding which ought 
to fubfift with Lombardy, the Ge- 
neral Adminiftration refolves as fol- 
lows : 
-1ft. All the inhabitants of the 
bailiwicks of Belinzona and Luga- 
no, who fhall appear on the terri- 
tory of Lombardy unprovided with 
paflports of the Lombard conftitut- 
ed authorities, fhall immediately be 
arrefted as fufpected perfons, con- 
ducted beyond the Renters and, 
fhould they return again, be treated 
as {pies of the hoftile powers, and 
Judged by martial law. 
2d. All the Swifs barges, on 
board of which Auftrian deferters 
fhall be found, are to be confifcated, 
and their mafters judged by milita- 
ry law as perfons recruiting for the 
enemy. 
3. As long as the agents of Auf. 
tria, efpecially one Andreazzi, call- 
ing himfelf an imperial commiffion- 
er, fhall not be banifhed from thofe 
countries, the importation of corn 
from Lombardy fhall be prohibited.
