The following electoral ordinance is publifh-
ed in our Gazette of this day.
ellis moft iersne Electoral hishnefs, immedi-
atey after the re-eitabiiihment OF peace between
the German Empire and the French Republic,
ii1ued an ordinance for his ancient poiiefiions,
declaring in the mott precife and poiitive terms,
that no farther rehdence in his territory could
be granted to any perfon who emigrated or had
been deported from the French Republic. The
war which afterwards enfued having occahoned
theie perions again TO return into the country,
his Serene Electoral Highnets availed hlmtelf of
the firit favorable moment to order their reno-
val, under the date of the goth of June, 1893.
The renewal of peace again brought back into
the country many of tbote pertons who had fer
we'd in the army of the Prince OF Condo, and his
ferene electoral highneis faw himielf Obliged to
iifue new ordinance which fill fubiifts, accord
ing to which no Frenchman who has ferved in
the army of the Prince of Condo, nor no French
emigrant in general, can have permiiiion to re-
fde in the country in any manner that it is en-
ijoyed by every foreigner who paiies through it,
unlefS he had obtained this permiiiion before
the peace. From the operation oft this ordinance,
his ferene electoral highnefs has only excepted,
by particular and exprefs refoutions, fuch per-
fons as could prove, by authentic documents,
that they obtained their erafure from the lift OF
emigrants, or that they expected to obtain it We
nv fnnn. who in confrqnence iuftifed in
Al, 4
France to any other; and who, on the other
hand, might be coniidered as giving no caufe
of inquietude to the French government. No
thing dfagreeabe or prejudcial having hitherto
refulted to the French Government from theic
particular permif1ions, his electoral hghnefs had
thought proper, in confequence of the acquih-
lions of new territorywhich he made in Deem
Der 1902, to futfer all foreigners in general and
the French emigrants in particular, who were
then in the country, to enjoy tacitly the ref
dence which had been permitted them by the
former Governments but at the fame time he
was firmly refolved TO put an end to this CONN.,
vance, conformabie to the hrft article of the
treaty Of Luneville, as foon as he fhould learn
with certainty that the refdence of any of thefe
perfons might become fufpicous to the French
government, and thereby dangerous TO the tran
guilty of the Empire. The French government
have fince required his ferene electoral highnefs
TO arref certain emigrants accufed of being ac-
completes in Il confpiracy againft the Confitu-
ton of the fate, and having, at the fame time,
fuddeny fent a military detachment to feize
thefe individuals, the cafe is arrived when his
ferene electoral highnefs NUT confder. the
French emigrants in his territory as dangerous
to the tranquility of the empire in general, and
an object oftuipicion to the French government:
and he in coafequence finds it neceliary to re-
new, in all its latitude, the former ordinance,
which forbids the French emigrants, to relide
i'll his territory, by extending it to all his old and
new polcffons and at the fame time referring
to ii all the unlimited or limited perniffions of
rehdence which may have been granted to the
French emigrants by the former or prelent 60
vernments in fuch manner, that all thofe who
cannot Immediately certify, in due form, that
they have obtained their ersfure from the lift of
eInigrauts, and have made fubmiflion to the pre-
fent government of France, fhall Immediately
quit the country: or if they will not depart vo-
UNFAIRLY fall be fcnt out of the electoral ftaes
within the fpace of 70 hours and that with
refpeGt to thofe who think they are able to thew
claim to further reiidence, lift of them
mutt be fent, accompanied with a copy of their
pretenGons, to his ferehe electoral highnefs, who
will finally decide whether the permiiIion of re-.
fidence thal be continued to them, or whether
they fhall in like manner be fent away. All fu
perior and under bailifs, all prelidents of COM
mune5, & all officers of Police, ihall be reafona
bly, anfwerable for the ftria execution of this
ordinance.
