THE FRENCH REFUGEES IN ENGLAND.I
We have been requested to publish the following letter:—
" 71, Dean-street, Soho-square, London, April 7.
" We, the undersigned French Republicans, refugees resi-
dent in London, lay before the English people the following
declaration :
" The expulsion of the Republican exiles from Switzerland
on the threats of Russia, Austria, and Prussia is now sought
to be accomplished, as regards England, by trickery on the
part of these Powers.
" But England, who had no 'idea of such a proceeding,
would be in this case ruled by the foreign rowers.
" There is a coincidence, however, which is very remark-
able. At the moment when the Governments of Europe de-
mand of the British Cabinet that we shall be put out of the
pale of humanity, the mercenary journals of the counter-
revolution in France redouble their accustomed violence
against us; and two individuals (for diplomacy as not but_
official agents) unite to accuse us of the basest and most d
testable designs.
" Who are these two individuals? One of theme ihsaas
Frenchman, who is not a political refugee, although he
assumed that title, and whose coming to this country has not
to our knowledge been satisfactorily accounted fora.o.. This
individual, after having made before a police m b
the magistrate
various allegations of a most odious charactere ear ofgainstus,hassince, in an official examination made by rd
supe-
rior authorities, been obliged to deny their truth, which de-
nial has been duly recorded in a former report addressed to
the Government.
" The other is a native of this country, vim has forfeited
the confidence of the political party whose cause he pretends
to espouse, and who seeks to recover his lost popularity by
exciting among the masses old and nearly forgotten interna-
tional hatreds. The antecedents of this individual were,
however, so well known to us that not one among us would
enter into any communication with him, notwithstanding
all the advances he has made to that effect, which is no
doubt our inexpiable crime in his eyes ; but the English pub-
lic will have no difficult in divining that, without our being
either assassins or incendiaries, we may be fully justified in
regarding with distrust such a false democrat as Mr. Feargus
O'Connor.
We, therefore, declare in the most solemn manner that
whosoever attributes to us, the French Republicans, refugees,
now residing in Louden, designs such as those individuals
have attributed to us, or in any manner similar to them, is a
vile slanderer.
" We make this solemn declaration, not because we dread
to be driven from the refuge we have found in this country,
for the revolution which has had power in France may re-
sume that power, and in so doing exact, perhaps, too large a
satisfaction for the wrong of which we should be the victims
—an idea which never entered into our minds.
" We make this declaration voluntarily, we make it freely,
we make it without after-thought, without any fear of me-
naces ; we make it in the name of the eternal principles of
brotherhood and concord among nations and peoples—prin-
ciples for which we now suffer the pains cf exile.
" We may be calumniated, but the world will never be-
lieve that men, the very first act of whose advent to power
was the destruction of the scaffold—men who accomplishedlfl oo d,
a great revolution without shedding a single drop of
without committing an act of violence, withoutinnPrei,'-liev
°_ne-
ment, and without confiscation—the world will never ~
that we ate assassins or incendiaries.
