ST ATE. PAP ERS: 
coming and seditious publications 
with which the newspapers and 
writings printed in Kngland are 
filled. 
2d. That the individuals men- 
tioned in the undersigned minister’s 
letter of the 23d July last, shall be 
sent out of the island of Jersey. 
3d. That the former bishops of 
Arras and St. Pol de Leon, and all 
those who, like them, under the 
pretext of religion, seek to raise 
disturbances in the interior of 
France, shall likewise be sent away. 
Ath. That Georges and his ad- 
herents shall be transported to Ca- 
nada, according to the intention 
which the undersigned has been di- 
rected to transmit to his govern- 
ment at the request of lord Hawkes- 
bury. 
5th. That, in order to deprive 
the eyil-disposed of every pretext 
for disturbing the good understand- 
ing between the two governments, 
it shall be recommended to the 
princes of the house of Bourbon, 
at present in Great Britain, to re- 
pair to Warsaw, the residence of 
the head of their family. 
6th. That such of the French 
emigrants as still think proper to 
wear the orders and decorations 
belonging to the ancient government 
of France, shall be required to quit 
the territory of the British empire. 
These demands are founded upon 
the treaty of Amiens, and upon the 
verbal assurances that the under- 
signed minister has had the satisfac- 
tion to receive, in the course of 
the negociations, with regard to a 
mutual agreement for maintaining 
tranquillity and good order in the 
two countries.~ If any one in par- 
ticular of these demands does not 
proceed so immediately from the 
663 
treaty concluded, it would be easy 
to justify it by striking examples, 
and to prove how very attentive the 
British government has been, in 
times of internal fermentation, to 
remove from the territory of a 
neighbouring power, those who 
might éndanger the public tran- 
quillity. 
Whatever may be the protection 
which the English laws afford to na- 
tive writers, and to other subjects of 
his majesty, the French government 
knows that foreigners do not here 
enjoy the same protection; and 
that the law, known by the title of 
the Alien Act, gives the ministry of 
his Britannic majesty an authority 
which it has often exercised against 
foreigners, whose residence was pre 
judicial to the interests of Great 
Britain. The first clause of this act 
states, expressly, that any order in 
council which requires a foreigner 
to qtit the kingdom shall be exe- 
cuted, under pain of imprisonment 
and transportation. ‘There exists, 
therefore, in the ministry, a legal 
and sufficient power to restrain fo- 
reigners, without having recourse to 
courts of law ; and the French go- 
vernment, which offers, on this 
point, a perfect reciprocity, thinks 
it gives a new proof of its pacific 
intentions, by demanding that those 
persons may be sent away, whose 
machinations uniformly tend to sow 
discord between the two people. It 
owes to itself, and to the nation at 
large (which has made it the deposi- 
tory of its power and of its honour), 
not to appear insensible to insults 
and to plots during profound peace, 
which the irritation of open war 
could not justify, and it is too well 
acquainted with the conciliatory 
dispositions of the British ministry,
