M, Otto’s representation, and others 
of them were removing.—With re- 
spect to the venerable bishops of 
St. Pol de Leon, Arras, and others, 
accused of distributing papers on- 
the coast of France, with a view of 
disturbing the government of the 
republic, his lordship calls for a 
substantiation of the facts, in which 
ease, they should be obliged to 
quit the country.—The direct de- 
mand for the transportation ef the 
Vendean royalists to Canada, agree- 
ably to previous arrangement, next 
follows. Those unfortunate, but 
gallant men, who had, under the_ 
faith of British assurances, made a 
glorious, though unsuccessful strug- 
gle, to re-astablish their monarch 
and their religion; with whom Eng- 
land had, for those objects, madea 
common cause; and who, on the 
failure of their efforts, sheltered 
themselves under her protection, 
sacrificing their homes, their for- 
tunes, their families, to their prin- 
ciples. — This honorable body of 
men, to whom Great Britain was 
pledged, by every tie, the most 
sacred, and in every event bound 
to protect—she was now peremp- 
torily called upon to deporter, to 
the bleak and ungenial soil of 
‘Canada! To “this CRUEL, this 
INFERNAL” proposal*, his ma- 
jesty’s minister (repelling, how- 
ever, the ground of previous ar- 
rangement) malenparely concedes 
_ the point, and declares, that the 
Be

hess, with respect to these persons ;

purpose of removing them out of his

object of complaint, and conse- 
quent requ sition, which presents 
itself in M. Oito’s note, is, the pros 
tection afforded to the princes of the 
house of Bourbon, resident in Eng- 
land. That august house, which had 
for ages and geaerations swayed the 
sceptre of the most powerful mo- 
narehy in the world, and which, 
outlivinig the storm that had be- 
reaved its chief, his consort, sister, 
and son ot «their fives; and. the 
wretched survivers, of empire and 
of a Country, saw itself reduced 
to seck, wandering and exiled, a 
home in the protecting kindness of 
the diferent countries in Europe, 
hot yet su a Alec 1 to the dominion 
of France: that portion of the wreck 
which was cast upon England’s 
hospitable shore, had excited the 
jealousy of the French ruler, and 
he now required, that its governs 
ment should recommend to these il- 
lustrious personages, a removal to 
Warsaw, then the residence of the 
chiefof the family. ‘To thisdeimand, 
less peremptory indeed, but assure

they conducted themselves peacea=
