F Declare to Admirai Hood, 
I. That the unanimous with of the inhabitants of Toulon, is to reject a consti 
tion which does not promote their happinefs, to adopt a-Monarchic Govern 
ent such as it‘evas originally by the Constituent Afsemb‘y of 1789; and 
in consequence, they have proclaimed Louis XVII. son to Louis XVI. Kine, 
and have sworn to acknow!edge him, and no longer suffer the despotism of 
the tyrants which at this time govern France. 
Il. That the white flag thall be hoisted the instant the Englith squadron 
anchors in the road of Toulen, and it will there meet the most friendly re- 
ception. ; 
III. That the thips of war now in the road will be disarmed, according 
to Admiral Hood’s withes. 
IV. That the citadel and the forts of the coast fhall be provisionally at 
the disposal of the said admiral; but for the better establifhing the union 
which ought to exist between the two people, it is requested that the gairi- 
son fhall be composed of an equal number of French and Englifh, and that 
neverthelefs the command fhali devolve to the Englith. 
V. The people of Toulon trust the Englifh nation will rurnifh speedily a 
force sufficient to afsist in repelling the attacks with which they are at this 
moment threatened by the ariny of Italy, which marches towards Toulon, 
site by that ot General Carrxavu, who directs his forces against Mar- 
eilles. 
VI. That the people of Toulon, full of -onfidence in the generous offers 
of Admiral Hood, trust that all those who held civil and military employ- 
ments fhall be continued in their places, and fhall not be annoyed in their 
Tespective occupations. 
. VIL. That the subsistence and succours of every kind, of which Toulon 
stands so much in need, will be aisured to the inhabitants by the combined 
fleet of the powers coalesced. 
VIII. That when peace will have been re-establifhed in France, the 
fhips and forts which fhall be put into the hands of th Englifh fhall be re- 
stored to the French nation, in the same state they were in when the inven- 
tory was delivered. 
It is according to this declaration, if approved by Admiral Hood, that the 
Toulonese will regard themselves, with good heart and will, as belonging to 
the Englifh and the other powers coalesced, and by whose succour wili be 
brought about that peace after which an have panted so long.
