Louis XVIII had issued Proclamation
in which he staJe;. that he had Termed =

catered into alliance with him, they are Of
course pledged for his Restora,ion.-T
same fact seems to be proved by the part
which the Duke of hngoulcme is acting in
conjunction wish Lord Wellington.

to be instrumental IN circulating the Bour.

punished for having them III their possession.
