NUMBER 111.

Path; Dec. 7, 1799.

GENTLEMEN,

Inclosed you 'have a duplicate of my last ; and
by the present occasion I have to acknowledge
the receipt of yours (No. 81. and 82.) of the
zd and 29th ult. with their several inclosures.
I shall have the honour of replying to them par-
ticularly to-morrow ; for the present, time ob-
liges me to confine myself to one objeft—that of
communicating to you a circumstance of 'much
iMportance, which has just taken place.

The Minister of the Exterior having, by'Note,
expressed
.his .wish to sec me, I waited upon him,
and learned that, in consequence of orders from
the ConsUls, he had to inform me that the French
Government would- take charge of the English
Piisonets in France from the Ist of the next. de,
cute (the a ith inst.), and_ that the English-Were
to providt for.the French Prisoners in• England.
I' endeavoured to expose to .him the impossibility
of such an event taking place.; ,first, from the na-
ture of the Contrafts lately .entered into. for the
Maintenance.of the Prisoners.; and next, from
the shortness of time, Which would not admit of
my receiving any direefions froM 'you, from
whose authority alone I was empowered to 40.
He replied, that such were the orders of the Con-
suls, and that 1 must enter into' details with
Bonjour, the Chief of the Sixth bivision for.the
Prisoners of War.

Utter these circumstances I -have, G6ntlemen,
thought.properrto write to the to,dav,
informing hiM that I could not look upon the
communteailoa I 'had the honour to receive from
him yesterday as ofscia!,.and. that a Written au-
thority could 'alone constitute it. eo ; that I must
neciparily stibmit to the orders that were t() be
given, imt that I would 'by no means 'consent to
receive them without the approbation of. tny'Go-
vernment and further, that as your Agent, I
would neyer-Aubtnit to receive any orderi that
did nt~t emanate,from it.

Thus the business stands at present, and you
will, no .cloubt,.Geutletheri, 'see. the cecessity of
adapting speedy measures, and furnishing me
with your dire lions for mp future conduct in this
affair without de)ay.
I have the Honour to he, &c.

MY LORDS,

In the absence of Mr. Secretary Dundas I lost•
no time in laying before the King:your Lord_
ships' leap. to him of the t ath inst. inclosing the
communication made to Captain Cotes at. Paris,
respe&ing the future maintenance of the English
and French Prisoners of War, now detained in
the, respeaiVe Countries.
It is the less necessary, on this occasion, to re-
call the circumstances which gave rise to the ar-
rangement under which the two -Gtivernments
agreed to provide for the wants of their respec-
tive Subjefis during their detention, as they have
been submitted to Parliament and published to
the world, in refutation of the false And unwar-
rantable assertions brought forward by the French
Government on this.subject ; but His, Majesty
cannot witness the termination. of an arrange-
ment, founded. on the fairest principles of justice
and proteetion, due by the Powers ,at War to
their respe6tive Prisoners, and proved by, expe.
rlenee to be the best calculated to provide for
their comfort; without protesting against this.
departure (on the-part of the French Govern-
ment) from an agreement entered into between
the two Countries, and which tended.so rumen-
ally to mitigate the Calamities of War.
To prevent the efreft of this alteration as much
as possible with' respect to the British Prisoners.
now in France; it is His Majesty's pleasure that
Captain Cotes should be instruded to ascertain
exactly the rate of daily allowance made to each
man by the French' Government ; and that he
should take care to supply, at the expence of this
Country, any difference that may exist between.
such allowance and what was issued by him under
the late arrangement, -

With resped to all the French Prisoners not
on parole in this Country,' it is His Majesty's
Command that, from the date of the French
Agent ceasing to supply them, the Commission-
ers of Transports and for taking care of Prisoners
'of War, should furnish them indiscOminately
with the same rations' of prOvisions as were
granted before the late arrangement took place.
As no mention is made of cloatlnng, pr other.
necessaries, in Captain Cores's letter, I think it
'right to add, that the Commission,±rs of Trans..
ports and for taking° care of Prisoners of War
are on no account to furnish any to the French
Prisoners, as this charge luts at all times been
supported by the French Geiverritilent.

Ftuprir Juan- tun term' SODOM. De
COMMunipted to Mon4ieur Niou, the French
Agent id London, and to the Agents at the seve-
rai tie-pis of Prisoners, in order that the real
grounds of the change, which is aboot to rake
plaee, may not be mistaken or misrepresented.
