NOTE DELIVERED IN IT VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH TO THE ALLIED MINISTERS, AND PLACED UPON THILIVROTO• COL-.-PARIS,EiPTRAIBER 11,181 5. _ _ _ Representations having been made before the Mi nisters of the Allied Powers from the Pope, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the King of the Nether lands, and other Sovereigns, claiming, through the intervention of the High Allied Powers, the restora tion of the statues, pictures, and other works of art, of which their respective States have been succes sively and systematically stripped by the late Revolu tionary Government of France, contrary to every prin ciple of justice, and to the usages of modern war fare, and the same having been referred for the con. sideration of his Court, the undersigned has received the commands of the Prince Regent to submit, for the consideration of his Allies, the following remarks upon this interesting subject : It is now the second time that the Allied Powers of Europe have been compelled, is vindication of their own liberties, and for the settlement of the world, to invade France, and twice their armies have possessed themselves of the capital of the State, in which these, the spoil of the greater part of Europe, are accumulated. The legitimate Sovereign of France has often, under the protection of those armies, been enabled to resume his throne, and to mediate for his people a peace with the Allies, to the marked indulgencies of which, neither their conduct to their own Monarch, nor towards other States, had g iv e n them just preten isions to aspire. That the purest sentiments of regard for Louis XVIII. deference for his aleient and illustrious House, and respect for his misfortunes, have guided invariably the Allied Councils, has been proved be yond a question, by their having last year framed the Treaty of Paris expressly on the basis of preserving to France its complete integrity, and still more, after their late disappointment, by the endeavours they are again making, ultimately to combine the substantial integrity of France, with such an adequate system of temporary precaution as may,satisfy what they owe to the security of their own subjects. Bat it would be the height of weakness as well as of injustice, and in its effe , :ts much more likely to mi lead 111411 to bring back the people of France to mo ved and peaceful habits, if the Anita Sovereigns to whom the world is anxiously looking up for protec tion and repose, were to deny that plinciple of inte grity, iti its just and liberal application, to other na tions, their allies, (more especially to the feeble and to the helpless), which they are abwt, for the second time, to concede to a nation against whom they have had occasion so long to contend in war. Upon what principle can France, at the close of such a war, expect to sit down with the same extent of possessions which she held before the Revolution, and desire at the same time to retain the ornamented spoils of all other countries ? Is it, that there can exist a cli:utit of the ism: of the contest, or of the, power of the Allies to effectuate what justice and po p licy require ? If not, upon what principle deprive France of her late territorial acquisitions, and pie serve to her the spoliations appertaining to those ter ritories, which all modern congtierors have invariably respected, as inseparable from the country to which they belonged? The Allied Sovereigns have perhaps something to atone for to Europe in consequence of the course pur sued by them when at Paris during the last year.— It is true, they never did so f make themselves par ties in the criminality of this Mass of plunder, as to sanction it by any stipulation in their Treaties; such a recognition has been on their part unifOrmly re fused; but they certainly did use their influence to repress at that moment any acitation of their claims,' in the hope that France, not less subdued by their ge nerosity than by their arms, might be di , posed to pre. serve inviolate a peace which had bLen randinasty framed to set ye as a bond of reconciliatitni bvtwrco the nation and the King. They had also mason to expect that his Majesty would be advised vo:untaril) to restore a considerable proportion at least of these spoils to their lawful owners. But the question is A very difra.A.nt one now, and to pursue the same course. under circumstances so essentially altered, would be, in the judgment of the Prince Regent, eqially unwise owards Franc?, and unjust towards our Attics, who have a direct interest in this question. His Royal Highness, in stating this opinion, feels it necessary to guard against the possibility of misre. pres. nta (ion. - Whilst he deems it to be the duty of the Allied Sovereigns not only not to obstruct, but to facilitate, upon the present occasion, the return of these objects to the places from whence they were torn, it seems not less consistent with their dericrcy, not to'snffcr the position of their armies in France, or the removal of these works from the Louvre, to become the means tither directly or indirectly, of bringing within their own dominions a single article which did not of right, at the period of their conquest, belong either to their respective family collections, or to the countries over which they now actually reign. Whatever value the ?Prince Regent might attach to such requisite specimens of the fine arts, if otherwise acquired, he has no wish to become possessed of them at the expense of France, or rather of the countries to which, they of right belong, more especially by following up a principle ix war which he considers as a reproach to the nation by which it has been adopted; and so far from wishing to rake advantage of the occasion to purchase 'from the rightful owners any articles they might, from pecuniary considera tions, be disposed to part with, his Royal Highness would, on the contrary, be disposed rather to afford the means of replacing them in those very temples and galleries of which they were so long the orna ments. Were it pos si ble that his Rnyal Highness's senti ments towards the person and cause of Louis XVIII. could be brought into doubt, or that the position of his MorA Christian Majesty would be injured in the eyes of his own people, the Prince Regent would not come Us this conclusion without the most painful re luctance ; but, on the contrary, his Royal Highness really believe; that his Majesty will rise in the love and respect of his own subjects, in proportion as he separates hirns.:lf from these remembrances of revolu tionary warfare. • These spoils, which impede a moral reconciliation bettveen France and the countries she has invaded, 'are not necessary to record the exploits of her armiei, which, notwithstanding the cause in which they were achieved, must ever make the arms of the nation respected abroad. But whilst these objects remain at Paris, constituting, as it were, the title deeds of the countries which have been given up, the senti ments of re-uniting these countries again to France, will never be altogether extinct ; nor will the genius of the French people ever completely associate •itself with the more limited existence assigned to the na tion under the Bourbons. Neither is this opinion given with any disposition on the part of the Prince Regent to humiliate the French Nation. His Royal Highness's general po. licy, the demeanour of his troops in France, his hay ing seized the first moment of Bonap.trte's surrender, to restore to France the freedom of her conunerce, and, above all, the desire he has recently evinced to preserve ultimately to France her territorial integrity, with certain modifications essential to the security of neighbouring States, are the best proofs that,-consi deration of justice to others, a desire to heal the wounds inflicted by the Revolution, and not any illi beral sentiment towards France, Live alone dictated this decision. The whole question resolves itself into this :—Are the Powers of Europe now forming in sincerity a permanent settlement with the King ? Atid if upon what principles shall it be concluded ? it be upon the conservation or the abandonment of revolutionary spoliations? Can the Kiag teel his own dignity exalted, or his title improved, in 'biting surrounded by miiiiumeht, of art, which records not less the suffcrilgs of li;, own Illustrious House, than t.t the other nations of Europe ? If the French people be desimus of tread , ing back their steps, can they rationally desire to pre. serve this source of animosity between them and all other nations ? And, if they are not, is it politic to flatter their vanity, and to keep alive the hopes which the contemplation of these trophies are calculated to excite ? Can even the army reaaonahly desire it ? • The recollection of their campaigns can never peri:ll. They are recorded in the military annals of Europe. They ate emblazoned on the public monuments of their own country : why is it necessary to asso:iate their glory in the field with a system of plunder, by the adoption of which. in contravention of the laws of modern war, the Chief that led them to battle, in fact, tarnished the lustre of theii. arms ! It we are really to return to peace and to ancient nusiins, it cannot be uise to preserve just so mr►c!: of the abuses of the past; nor can the King desire, out of the wrecks of the Rcvoiniion, of which hi. family h►s been ono of the chief vic.ims, to perpe• tua:e in his house this odious num:poly of the Arts— The splendid collection which France possessed pre. vions to the Revolution, augmented by the Borghese collection, whicjs has since been purchased (one of the finest in the wort!), will affiril to the Kin g ample means of ornatnenting, in its fair proport►on, the Cipital of his Empire: and his Majesty may divest himself of this tainted source of distinction, without prejudice to the due cultivation of the arts in France. In applying a remedy to this offensive evil, it sloes not appear that any 'diddle line can be adopted, wl►ich dues not go to recognize' a variety of spoli4- tions, under the cover of treaties, if possible more flagrant in their character than the acts of undis guised rapine, by which these remains were in general brou g h t together. The principle of property regulated by the claims of the territories from whence these works" were t.t ken, is the surest and only guide to justice; and pe►hap there is nothing which would more tend to settle the public mind of Europe at this day, than such at► homage, on the part of the King of France, to a principle of virtue, conciliation, and . peace.

Almost daily, through some channel or other, we receive details confirming and throwing new light on statements already received respecting the shameful persecution to which the Protestants are exposed in a country emancipated from slavery by the persevering energies of the British Government, and under a dynasty restored to political existence and consider able influence, at the expense of the blood and trea sure of Protestants. A Leyden Journal, received last . night, presents some important facts respecting the disgraceful scenes transacting in the South of France, and from which even the powers of sophistry can draw but one conclusion. The Duke IYANGOULEME, when requested by a Deputation from the Protestants to issue a Proclamation exhorting the people na longer to persecute them, refused this just request, on the pretext that his powers did not authorise hime to do so ! ! • The DUKE departed from Nismes, and on the following Sunday the Protestants were assailed in their temples, and General LA GARDE, who endea voured to dissuade the bigots from their murderous intentions, was shot by sine of them, as our Readers have already been informed. The remark of the Leyden Editor is very just :—lt is astonishing that the Police, so active under BONAPARTE, and which for so long a period kept down these monst. 1, when confided to the same hands, under Louts XVIII. should have been unable to restrain them any longer from perpetrating their crimes with impunity. • Persecutors are never without pretexts for their cruelties. History does not furnish an instance in which political offences have not been urged against the Protestants by their adversaries, for the purpose of obviating the charge of persecution for relyous opinions. On the present occasion kis ins7a tatee that the Protestants of Nismes and the neightotylc,. districts are attached to NAPOLEON. Now, f t , ti :, sake of argument, and to place the condnet r i N.

The following is the extract to v.hich we h. alluded : LEYDEN, NOVEMBER 29. The troubles which since the return of Louis SAT ; have not ceased to agitate the South of Franze, la • assumed a more serious character than ever, an3:l. event has proved that the accounts we gave tio time to time were exact, though the Paris J .uitu were angry, and have censured our arti.le. ply indecent severity. We knew that the journey et . Duke d'Angouleme to the South had fur its o') 1 to calm people's minds, and preach tolerance. If t: Was his object, it has completely failed.—[liere lows the mention of the assassination of Gener.il L garde, and the King's Ordinance]. But none ot Paris Journals have made mention cf what passel Nismes during the slay of the Duke d'Angoulemc that city . Impartially m a king it o ur duty to ,:;t fact in their true light, we shall supply the .810 add, here some details coming from good all:. ;ride, and extracted from several letters recei% ed ;rJ :Languedoc, stating in substance what follows I 41 The Duke of Angouleme, who went in the ginning of November to Nismes, received during 'stay there two Members of the Protestant Consislo 7 who were the only ones that had not taken liiAht, of whom was the President and Minist:r Olivier !)• mons. The Duke expressed to this deputation 11:% t gret and the chagrin, that the persecutions to 'bit the Protestants in the South had been exposed, caused him, and assured them that they should be future prevented and even kept down by force O: and that the King's Government would afford the l': testanti 'all protection ; that therefore all their tempt should be immediately opened again, and th it Os might freely exercise their worship. The Duke d": 11 gou)eme at the same time represented to this dei,t:: tion that the inhabitants of the Communes had d• veryill in not giving up their arms when they w called upon so to do. One of the deputation observe, that the inhabitants, though armed, had already " periencad so much persecution from the
