[The proclamation then recites ell the flipukrtmt of the efun

adds,]
I HAVE therefore thought fit to issue this my
Proclamation making known the premises, and to
declare that the government heretofore exercised
overthe said Province of Louisiana, as well under
the authority of Spain as of the French republic,
bas ceased, and that of the United States of America
is established over the fame ; that the inhabitants
thereof will be incorporated in the union of the
United States, and admitted as felon as pofDble, ac
cording to the principles of the Federal Constitution,
to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and
immunities of citizens of the United States ; that
in the mean time they shall be maintained and pro
tected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, prop
erty, and the religion which they proofs ; that all
laws and municipal regulations which were in exift
cnecat the cessation of the late government remain in
full force, &Jl c^ lofficers charged with their txe
n^ion except those whole powers have been specially
vested in me, and except also such officers as have
been eotruft.d with the cd 4ion of the revenue

of the governor forth: time being or until pro
vifrou shall otherwise be made."
And I do hereby nation and enj tin all the inhab

lobe faithful and true in their allegiance to the
United States, an I obedient to the laws and author
ities of the fame under full assurance that their just,
rights will be under the guardianship of the United .
States,and will be maintained from all force or vi
