5. The Minister of Franee has like#ife considered,
that if the people of his House were permitted to give
themselves up to any speculations of trade, the privileges
of his mission would give them too great an advantage
Over the inhabitants of this State, in the dilcuffun which
might arise on that account : He therefore has ftri&ly
prohibited them from all kind of commerce ; and if ever
he fhruld be informed of the least transgression of that
prohibition, the transgressor will be immediately dis
charged or sent away, and the interested party shall
provide for his indemnification in such manner, and
