OFFICIAL NOTE,
TRANSMITTED BY THE UNDERMENTIONED IHINISTERS or
THE ALLIED POWERS TO THE DUKE DE RICHELIEU,
CoMMUNICATIND THE APPOINTMJUIT OF TUE DCKEI.I
WELLINGToN, AS COMI4ANDEN IN CHIEF OF THE AL-
jinn TROOPS DESTINED TO REMAIN IN•IIRANCE.
" The Allied Sovereigns having confided to Mar-
shal the Duke of Wellington the command in chief
of those of their troops which, according to the
article of the Treaty concluded this day with France,
are to remain in this country during a s.ertain number
of years, the undersigned Ministers, &c. &c. &c.
think it their duty to give some explanation to his
Excellency the Duke de Richelieu, as to the nature
and extent of the dowers attached to this command.
" Although chiefly guided; with respect to this
measure, by motives tending to the safety and wet.
fare of their subjects, and being very far it ova having
any intention of employing their troops in aid of the
Police, or of the internal Administration of France,
or in any manner that might coinproinise or interfere
with the free exercise of the Royal authority in this
country, the Allied Soitreigns have, however, in
consideration of the high interest which they take in
supporting the power of legitimate Sovereigns, pro-
mised to his Most Christian Majesty, to support him
with their arms against every revolutionary convul.
sion which might tend to overthrow by force the
order of things at present established, and to menace
also again the general tranquillity of Europe. They
do not, however, dissemble that in the variety of
forms under which the revolutionary spirit might
again manifest itself in France, doubts might arise as
to the naturo of the case which might calf for the in-
tervention of a foreign force ; and feeling the diffi-
culty of framing any instructions precisely applicable
to each particular case, the Allied Sovereigns have
.thought it better to leave it to the tried prudence and,
discretion of the Duke of Wellington, to decide when
and how far it may be advisable to employ-, the
troops under his orders, always supposing that he
would not in any case so determine without hiving
concerted his measures with the King of Fretiee, or
without giving information as soon as possible to the
Allied Sovereigns, of the motives which may. have
induced bim to come to such a determination., And
as, in order to guide the Duke of Wellington in the
choice of his arrangements, it will be important that
he should be correctly informed of the events which
may occur in France, the• Ministers of the four Allied
Courts, accredited to his Most Christian Majesty,
have received orders to maintain a regular correspon-
dence with the Duke of Wellington, and to provide
at the same time for an intermediate one between the
French Government and the Commander in Chief of
the Allied troops, for the purpose of • transmitting to
the French Government the communications which
the Duke of Wellington may have occasion to address
to it, and of communicating to the Marshal the sug-
gestions or requisitions which the Court of France
may wish in future to make to him.
al The Vndersigned flatter themselves that the
Duke de Richelieu will readily recognize in these
arrangements the same character and the same prin-
ciples, which have been manifested in concerting and
Ogpting the measures of the military occdpations of
a part of France, They carry with them also, on
quitting this country; the consoling persuasion, that
