,or generous allies, the *lse and brave British,
seeking at all times to reconcile the interest of the
State, with the sacred duties of hospitality, so
long as the French skewed no signs of ingratitude,
or, whilst it was possible, consistently with the
public security, to permit them to remain in the
island.

This is the reason which determined him to
establish in every part of this island a Committee
of Vigilance, by means of which the intentions of
the Government are effected with the least possi.
Me delay. Nevertheless, having considered that
regulations, however excellent, do not always
produce the same salutary effects in all places,

cue in this city, for which I am respnnsible,- Feta-

tite to the aboveAsposition in its whole extent ;
wishing equally te suppress the clamours of the
vulgar, and the suggestions of a fake zeal, as well
as to provide itgainit the fatal consequences of a
maritime invasiOn, which, however remote such
an event may appear, is out impossible during
the c,oillict between the two nations; more es-
pecially since the opening of the ports of North
America, as vessels may now be obtained for the
transportation of troops, which before were nut
to be procured : I hue proclaimed and urdered
as follows

Art. L All melt Frenchmen and other foreigners, of whnt-
ever rank, sex, at colour, as have tome to reside within
the city of 6t . Jagn, or the jurisdiction thereof, since the
French revelation, and are not domieiliated by express act

Faptain-Ceneral of this island, shall depart the
district.

they say dispoie of their stock and erects.
S. The tiosernment, desirous of extending every,liospita-
lity which may it be incompatible with the interests and
dignity of the infirm, allows forty da!s for the departure of
all time persons possessed of immoveable erects, that they
may dispose of the same, or prepare procuratious before a
notary for such Spaniards or Frenchmen ns they may con-
fide in, who may sell the same, and transmit the proceeds
as directed to any place nut subject to or in the possession of
France.
4. 'Chose ait possessed' of immoveable property shall de-

tended to Frenchmen, who are strictly prohibited from en-
tering the place on any account whatsoever, under the pain
of incurring the resentment of the Govenustent, mad being held
and treated Wag respects as "prisoner of war.
11. Frenclnnen who, agreeably to the lequisitions of Arti-.
