TOR of HANOV2R, to determine on such measures
as may check ail future attempts of the same nature.

against the special diredion of His BRITANNIC
MA J ESTY, as E,ledor of Hanover, who allows no
debts to be clmrged on his Eletturate, but such as
have been incurred by his consent, which alone, can
give validity.to acts of Sovereignty in his ElcOoral
Dominions. 'The Memorial which has been pre-
sented to the different Courts on the occasion,' con-
cludes with, 'declaring; " That should other legal
Governments endure this violation and extortion of
revolutionary France, severe measures, much against
the will and custom of England, will he resorted to,
in the acquisitions and conquests of Great Britain;
and French and Dutch subj,,&s in the Colonies,
and their property, shall finally be the only suf-
ferers for the rapacity of France on the continental
possessions of His BRITANNIC MA J ESTy in Europe."
