NOTE DELIVERED IN IT VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH TO THE
ALLIED MINISTERS, AND PLACED UPON THILIVROTO•
COL-.-PARIS,EiPTRAIBER 11,181 5. _ _ _

Representations having been made before the Mi-
nisters of the Allied Powers from the Pope, the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, the King of the Nether-
lands, and other Sovereigns, claiming, through the
intervention of the High Allied Powers, the restora-
tion of the statues, pictures, and other works of art,
of which their respective States have been succes-
sively and systematically stripped by the late Revolu-
tionary Government of France, contrary to every prin-
ciple of justice, and to the usages of modern war-
fare, and the same having been referred for the con.
sideration of his Court, the undersigned has received
the commands of the Prince Regent to submit, for
the consideration of his Allies, the following remarks
upon this interesting subject :
It is now the second time that the Allied Powers
of Europe have been compelled, is vindication of
their own liberties, and for the settlement of the
world, to invade France, and twice their armies have
possessed themselves of the capital of the State, in
which these, the spoil of the greater part of Europe,
are accumulated.

The legitimate Sovereign of France has often,
under the protection of those armies, been enabled to
resume his throne, and to mediate for his people a
peace with the Allies, to the marked indulgencies of
which, neither their conduct to their own Monarch,
nor towards other States, had given them just preten-
isions to aspire.
That the purest sentiments of regard for Louis
XVIII. deference for his aleient and illustrious
House, and respect for his misfortunes, have guided
invariably the Allied Councils, has been proved be-
yond a question, by their having last year framed the
Treaty of Paris expressly on the basis of preserving
to France its complete integrity, and still more, after
their late disappointment, by the endeavours they are
again making, ultimately to combine the substantial
integrity of France, with such an adequate system of
temporary precaution as may,satisfy what they owe
to the security of their own subjects.
Bat it would be the height of weakness as well as
of injustice, and in its effe,:ts much more likely to mi
lead 111411 to bring back the people of France to mo-
ved and peaceful habits, if the Anita Sovereigns to
whom the world is anxiously looking up for protec-
tion and repose, were to deny that plinciple of inte-
grity, iti its just and liberal application, to other na-
tions, their allies, (more especially to the feeble and
to the helpless), which they are abwt, for the second
time, to concede to a nation against whom they have
had occasion so long to contend in war.
Upon what principle can France, at the close of
such a war, expect to sit down with the same extent
of possessions which she held before the Revolution,
and desire at the same time to retain the ornamented
spoils of all other countries ? Is it, that there can
exist a cli:utit of the ism: of the contest, or of the,
power of the Allies to effectuate what justice and po-
p licy require ? If not, upon what principle deprive
France of her late territorial acquisitions, and pie-
serve to her the spoliations appertaining to those ter-
ritories, which all modern congtierors have invariably
respected, as inseparable from the country to which
they belonged?
The Allied Sovereigns have perhaps something to
atone for to Europe in consequence of the course pur-
sued by them when at Paris during the last year.—
It is true, they never did so f make themselves par-
ties in the criminality of this Mass of plunder, as to
sanction it by any stipulation in their Treaties; such
a recognition has been on their part unifOrmly re-
fused; but they certainly did use their influence to
repress at that moment any acitation of their claims,'
in the hope that France, not less subdued by their ge-
nerosity than by their arms, might be di,posed to pre.
serve inviolate a peace which had bLen randinasty
framed to set ye as a bond of reconciliatitni bvtwrco
the nation and the King. They had also mason to
expect that his Majesty would be advised vo:untaril)
to restore a considerable proportion at least of these
spoils to their lawful owners.

But the question is A very difra.A.nt one now, and
to pursue the same course. under circumstances so
essentially altered, would be, in the judgment of the
Prince Regent, eqially unwise owards Franc?, and
unjust towards our Attics, who have a direct interest
in this question.
His Royal Highness, in stating this opinion, feels
it necessary to guard against the possibility of misre.
pres. nta (ion.

- Whilst he deems it to be the duty of the Allied
Sovereigns not only not to obstruct, but to facilitate,
upon the present occasion, the return of these objects
to the places from whence they were torn, it seems
not less consistent with their dericrcy, not to'snffcr
the position of their armies in France, or the removal
of these works from the Louvre, to become the means
tither directly or indirectly, of bringing within their
own dominions a single article which did not of right,
at the period of their conquest, belong either to their
respective family collections, or to the countries over
which they now actually reign.
Whatever value the ?Prince Regent might attach to
such requisite specimens of the fine arts, if otherwise
acquired, he has no wish to become possessed of them
at the expense of France, or rather of the countries
to which, they of right belong, more especially by
following up a principle ix war which he considers
as a reproach to the nation by which it has been
adopted; and so far from wishing to rake advantage
of the occasion to purchase 'from the rightful owners
any articles they might, from pecuniary considera-
tions, be disposed to part with, his Royal Highness
would, on the contrary, be disposed rather to afford
the means of replacing them in those very temples
and galleries of which they were so long the orna-
ments.
Were it possible that his Rnyal Highness's senti-
ments towards the person and cause of Louis XVIII.
could be brought into doubt, or that the position of
his MorA Christian Majesty would be injured in the
eyes of his own people, the Prince Regent would not
come Us this conclusion without the most painful re-
luctance ; but, on the contrary, his Royal Highness
really believe; that his Majesty will rise in the love
and respect of his own subjects, in proportion as he
separates hirns.:lf from these remembrances of revolu-
tionary warfare. •
These spoils, which impede a moral reconciliation
bettveen France and the countries she has invaded,

'are not necessary to record the exploits of her armiei,
which, notwithstanding the cause in which they were
achieved, must ever make the arms of the nation
respected abroad. But whilst these objects remain
at Paris, constituting, as it were, the title deeds of
the countries which have been given up, the senti-
ments of re-uniting these countries again to France,
will never be altogether extinct ; nor will the genius
of the French people ever completely associate •itself
with the more limited existence assigned to the na-
tion under the Bourbons.
Neither is this opinion given with any disposition
on the part of the Prince Regent to humiliate the
French Nation. His Royal Highness's general po.
licy, the demeanour of his troops in France, his hay-
ing seized the first moment of Bonap.trte's surrender,
to restore to France the freedom of her conunerce,
and, above all, the desire he has recently evinced to
preserve ultimately to France her territorial integrity,
with certain modifications essential to the security of
neighbouring States, are the best proofs that,-consi-
deration of justice to others, a desire to heal the
wounds inflicted by the Revolution, and not any illi-
beral sentiment towards France, Live alone dictated
this decision.

The whole question resolves itself into this :—Are
the Powers of Europe now forming in sincerity a
permanent settlement with the King ? Atid if
upon what principles shall it be concluded ?
it be upon the conservation or the abandonment of
revolutionary spoliations?
Can the Kiag teel his own dignity exalted, or his
title improved, in 'biting surrounded by miiiiumeht,
of art, which records not less the suffcrilgs of li;,
own Illustrious House, than t.t the other nations of
Europe ? If the French people be desimus of tread,
ing back their steps, can they rationally desire to pre.
serve this source of animosity between them and all
other nations ? And, if they are not, is it politic to
flatter their vanity, and to keep alive the hopes which
the contemplation of these trophies are calculated to
excite ? Can even the army reaaonahly desire it ? •
The recollection of their campaigns can never peri:ll.
They are recorded in the military annals of Europe.
They ate emblazoned on the public monuments of
their own country : why is it necessary to asso:iate
their glory in the field with a system of plunder, by
the adoption of which. in contravention of the laws
of modern war, the Chief that led them to battle, in
fact, tarnished the lustre of theii. arms !

It we are really to return to peace and to ancient
nusiins, it cannot be uise to preserve just so mr►c!:
of the abuses of the past; nor can the King desire,
out of the wrecks of the Rcvoiniion, of which hi.
family h►s been ono of the chief vic.ims, to perpe•
tua:e in his house this odious num:poly of the Arts—
The splendid collection which France possessed pre.
vions to the Revolution, augmented by the Borghese
collection, whicjs has since been purchased (one of
the finest in the wort!), will affiril to the King
ample means of ornatnenting, in its fair proport►on,
the Cipital of his Empire: and his Majesty may
divest himself of this tainted source of distinction,
without prejudice to the due cultivation of the arts
in France.

In applying a remedy to this offensive evil, it sloes
not appear that any 'diddle line can be adopted,
wl►ich dues not go to recognize' a variety of spoli4-
tions, under the cover of treaties, if possible more
flagrant in their character than the acts of undis-
guised rapine, by which these remains were in general
brought together.
The principle of property regulated by the claims
of the territories from whence these works" were t.t ken,
is the surest and only guide to justice; and pe►hap
there is nothing which would more tend to settle the
public mind of Europe at this day, than such at►
homage, on the part of the King of France, to a
principle of virtue, conciliation, and. peace.

Almost daily, through some channel or other, we
receive details confirming and throwing new light on
statements already received respecting the shameful
persecution to which the Protestants are exposed in a
country emancipated from slavery by the persevering
energies of the British Government, and under a
dynasty restored to political existence and consider-
able influence, at the expense of the blood and trea-
sure of Protestants. A Leyden Journal, received last
.
night, presents some important facts respecting the
disgraceful scenes transacting in the South of France,
and from which even the powers of sophistry can
draw but one conclusion. The Duke IYANGOULEME,
when requested by a Deputation from the Protestants
to issue a Proclamation exhorting the people na longer
to persecute them, refused this just request, on the
pretext that his powers did not authorise hime to do
so ! ! • The DUKE departed from Nismes, and on the
following Sunday the Protestants were assailed in
their temples, and General LA GARDE, who endea-
voured to dissuade the bigots from their murderous
intentions, was shot by sine of them, as our Readers
have already been informed. The remark of the
Leyden Editor is very just :—lt is astonishing that
the Police, so active under BONAPARTE, and which
for so long a period kept down these monst. 1, when
confided to the same hands, under Louts XVIII.
should have been unable to restrain them any longer
from perpetrating their crimes with impunity. •
Persecutors are never without pretexts for their
cruelties. History does not furnish an instance in
which political offences have not been urged against
