they eeftainly ought to be, by the law of England;
fubjeCt to punilhment, it is often difficult to prove the

the judgment of a court of juflice ; and the incon- •
sentence which arifes from profeention. unlefs there
is a rcaronable profped of fuccefs, is frequently fur-
, ficient to deter both thegovernment and individuals
from undertaking it. In the prefent cafe I have
thought it my duty to refer the article in queftion
to his Majefty's Attorney General, for his opinion,
'whether it is or is not a libel, according to thecon-

The propofiticnes ut M. Otto's offieisd Note, m
fix in number ; but may in fa& be divided under two
heads : the Firft, that which relates to the libels of
all defcriptions, which are &fledged to be publifhed
againft the French government: the laft,eomprehend-
ing the-five complaints which relate to the emigrants
refident in this country. On the firft, I am Cure you
mull be aware thathis Majeft y cannot, and never will,
in confequence of any reprefentation or any menace
1 from a foreign Power, make any conceifion, which
can be in the fmallcft degree dangerous to the li
betty of the prefs, as fecured by the Conftitution of
this country. This liberty is
,justly dear to every
Britifh Subjelt. The Conflitution admits of no pre-
vious reftraints upon publications of any defcription;
bat there exift judicatures wholly independent of the
,Executive Government,capableof taking cognizance
of fuch publications as the law deems to be criminal,
and which are bound to infli4t thepunifliment the de.
hutment* may deferve ; theft Judicatures May take
cognizance not only of libels againft the Government
and the Magiftracy of this kingdom, bet, as has
been repeatedly experienced, of publications defa-
matory of thole in Whole hands the adtniniftratibn
of foreign governments is placed. That our go•
verament neither has nor.wants any other proteetion
than what the laws of the country afford ; and tho'

government all the.pro!zaion againft offences of this
nature which the principle of.their Latin 'ma Con-

flis Majefty ditertained.hopcs that the explanation
furniftterf on this head in my Difpatch No. t{, would
I have proved fatisfaelory, and would have precluded
'tlie neceffity of any farther:. dlrcutlion on this fub-
-1 jea. The French Government have. upon (rectal
Locutions, reforted on this part of the kW's" to 1
Lprecedent; and have particularly relied on the de-1
Parotid formerly made by this country, that the per-
'forithen. culled the Pretender, ()would be fent from
the French dominions. Ti is important, that the
differences between thefts two cafes amid be
(laced. When James the Second abdicated the
throne, and left this country, The retired with his
adherents to France i and though in the war which
I immediately fucceeded that event. the French Go.
vernment adopted his canfe as their own no nipu.
Latium was made at the Treaty of Ryfwicle that he
'Mould be fent front the country, nor was any fobfe-
.quent demand ever made to the French .Go4ern-
Meat to this drat ; but he Was (offered to remain
-at St-Germain, in the neighbourhood of Paris, for-
rounded by his familyand friends, till the time of
his death.- It was not till after his demife. when
I.ouis the . Fourteenth, in dire& violation of -the
Treaty of Ryfwick. had acknowledged his fed as
Ling of Oreat Britain, that a different courfc of

proceeci;ftg was adopted by ti* nritith Government;
-and in the Treaty of Peace tigned at Utrecht, which
.put an end to the war which had been carried nn,
on account of the Spanifft fncceffion, an article was
intent,' to prevent the Pretender from refiding
arty part of the Preach &Minions. The demand
which was fubfequently made for the removal of the

Pretender from a. -werertrlttch tau Mated" in tiic
centre of thefe dominion:, w.ts feltntied on this or.
tick of the Treaty, which was in I.ta one of. thz
conditions of the Peace ; but both the article it; the

'Treaty and the dernentivere confined to the Pre
tender perfonally, and were rine ektemied tit ai.y
his family, or to any of his adherents. After hit r-
moral, many of hie adherents contioded to refide io
France; many perfons refedent in this country, trim
were attached to the caufref-the Pretender, and had

promoted the rebellion in hie favour, and who were
confequently =tainted for High Tre-afon,
refuge in France, and were permitted to remaitiiherC
till their death, without any application ever having
been made by'the Bririth Government for their r:.
moval. The Puke of Perwick, the natural lion of

fames the Second, who from his principle and talents

. .
was the moft dangerous mart to the intercth of
Country and the Protellant fuccefflon, continued to
be a General 'ht the French Armies, and thougb
ehfceaded from the King, an Engliftman and an
'Emigrant, it was not required that he &odd be fent

tick in the treaty of Peace, by which his Majefty

in the edth article of thi Definitive Treaty, and in
