" Your isle forms a part of the French Empire.
" You are called to participate in the happy destinies of 40
millions of people, who, while they feel proud of being governed
by the greatest Monarch in the world, enjoy, with purity, under
his almighty protection, the fruits of his creative and vivifying
genius.
" Inhabitants of Walcheren, hew yourselves worthy of this
high favour, by your obedience to the laws of the empire, and
your devotion towards its illustrious Sovereign. Dlicontinue all
mercantile traffic with that nation which is the enemy of all the
nations of the Continent. Henceforth, every connection with
the English would be a crime. But how can it be supposed you
would maintain any relation with those who set foot, for a few
weeks, upon your soil, only to spread fire and devastation
aronnd them. at the moment of their flight.
" The presence of the troops appointed for your defence, will
occasion no charge upon you. They will be subsisted by means
of the regular distributions, which will be provided for by the
administration of the army.
" Until further orders, the Administrative and JUdicial Au-
thorities, established in the Isle of Walcheren, before the landing
of the English, shall resume their functions. All acts of public
authority shall be executed in the name of his Imperial and Royal
Majesty, Napoleon, Emperor dthe French, King •f Italy.
