My Lord, Pars, Stine 4, 1002.
I had occarion to see M. Ta leyrand yeiterit” sham ion, for
the • urp- oe of introeueing to him, by nepoir,tment, some
English Gentlemen, previously to tbeir presentation to-day to
the First Consul.
Harm; gone Ant alone trio the Minister's eabities, be-said,
that he hni here directed bell,neral Bonaparte, sit represent
to me several eirctinistaticee which stand very iiiitsli in the way
of that per is:et reculiciiaston and good iindorstan iitig between
the two countries' and their gayer :runner, which it was the
First Consul% oneere wish to sat re estahlahiel, in order that
such obst!c!es might be removed before the arrival u, London
of the French Ambassador ; because althnugn the circum-
stances in Ties:tit-it had already produeed a very disagreeable
effete whilst only M. Otos, As Nl.stisser. had to striu:cits them,
t oiv would :require a event addition of force if they should still
xist when the Ambush should be present ; arut since the
First emstri had given *ohm for General Andr.rossy to proceed
thotinateni with as little dzlay as possible, he wished
t.nrt I should take en early opporurrity to give an account to
eour Lenbhip, r 4 the obsercatents which he was charged to
male In me.
After a preface to this effect, M. Tallerrand proceeded to
state to nie, that the accounts which M. Otto had transmitted
of the 48%Itile1 and inconvenience which he could not but feel
and experience at stieetieg feequently at his Majesty's Court,
and at other plans, the French l'riticis, and some French per-
sons still decorated with the insignia of French Orders which no
!sneer existed; and at seeing the countetrance and support
which continued to be given in England, to what he termed
the ei-dtwant French Bishops, as well as to other iwrsons ( he
here mentioned Georges) inimical to thepresent Government
of France, had atfeeled so strongly the First (nnistil, and were
in fact ao calculated to prevent bat system of cordiality which
he was anxious to see established, that it was incumbent upon
him to express Isis wieh, that his Mnjesty's Goyeniment might
!,e disposed to remove out of the British dontininns, all the
French Pinto- %tins! their iirtherents, together with the French
Bisheips aiA other
.French individuals-whine political principles
and coodnet tritr4 necessarily oc:asion great jealousy to the
French Government. lit enutinuesl to observe, that the pro-
taction and fiver which all era persons in question eoutinued to
meet with, in a country so close a neighbour to France,
.must
stone be al ways considered as an encouragement to the disal reeled
here, even without those persons theme:lves beiug guilty of
any acts tending to foment fresh disturbances in this county ;
but that the Government here poseeisad proofs of the abuse
which-they were now making of the protection which they en-
joyed its England, Ind of the advantage they were taking of
the vicinity of the; situation to France, b:!:11e. ejllY guilty
of snelsacts, since s.iveral sainted papers had-lately been tetti-
cepted, which it was known they bad scut, and tamed to be
circulated in Fiance, awl which bad for object, to create ail op-
ro,itinn to the Government. I cannot, my lord, do better
this refer you to what you will have read in the French official
paper of the day brihie yesterday, under the article of Paris, for
tile exact text of M. Tilleyrasidb discoorse upon this subject ;
which he concluded by saying, that lie thougin the resiitcoce
of Louis XVIII. was now the proper place fur that of the rest of
the family, and that I might add this sugg..stain us my report
to your Lordship.
I answered the French Minister, that without any reference
to you, I could assure that:the practices of the.Fremat ins
siding in Leg Lind, of which lie complained, had not been en-
couraged, nor would he gmustenaisced by his Govern-
mmit ; w hied: was as sinterely dispo 4d to t:titivate • harmony
and a good understanding between the two coentrits, as he ball
represented the First Consul to be; ibut that I Oath% by no
means say how ear they. would be' dispersed to adopt the mea-
sures which he hid intimated it to he General Bonaparte's wish
that they sheu'al pursue, in order to remove so elf:greatly, every
thing which might not perhaps be considered %Nitwit/by them,
as givingieat cause of offence or jealousy to. France.
M. Talleyraiid did not rejsiin upon the Matter; butalrkedanc
when I 'Tiptoed welting. Upon my replying I should lose no
time, het:aid, that if I should write as to-day, he. would avail
himself of -the opportuitity to convey a letter to M. Otto.
I have the honour to be, &c,
