by a Decree of the Batavian Legiflature, Which
offers to the holders of thefe Refcriptions, who'
wills to veil them in the voluntary Loan, the fame
terms which are offered to the holders of India
Stock, comprizing the following advantages, viz.
for tOOO florins in Itefctiptions, or India Stock,'
and Soo florins in calls, 3000 dorins in National
Obligations, producing 3 percent. perpetual ince-
refl. Alfo a receipt for so florins, in addition to

400 florins in the Loan to be railed by Lottery,
according to the plan annexed to the 'Voluntary
Loan of t 802 ; thefe (hares to be converted into'
National debt, bearing intereft at 2# per cent.

rence of the French Government, which confidered
itfelf pledged for the payment of the Refcriptions
according to their original value.
