M. Carre, charged with the administration of the House
of France, no one shall be allowed to ask any payment

of his mission would give them too great an advantage
over the inhabitants of this State, in the difeuffi^n which
might arise cn /hat account : He therefore has ftrialy
prohibited them from all kind of commerce; and if ever
he should be informed of the least transgression 6f that
prohibition, the tranlgreffor will be immediately dis
charged or sent away, and the interested party shall
provide for his indemnification in such manner, and
