The following royal order has been COM
muDicaied by thu department Of war
TO the department of state:
Nos. excellent sir--The king our lord 10
whom III due time represented the COM
muncation which you did me the honor
To make, according TO the royal order OF
the Goth Nov. 1918, concerning the urgent
necessity of adopting ehectual measures
10 prevent the evils which the dOnlinions
ofhis majesty beyond iheseas experience,
IN consequence OF the emigration of per-
sons from foreign nations 10 join the re-
bells, now III a state of revolt, and taking
part with them and who contribute by
their personal service and by their in
frigues, and by furnishing the insurgents
with arms, ammunition, ships and other
means ofwar, without which the rebellion
could not exist TO this time in those
provinces.
His majesty has deemed it expedient,
IN consequence, TO order his supreme
council Of war 10 consult with him upon
those affairs, and to obtain their advice
upon the steps necessary to be pursued,
after a due deliberation on the documents
and information laid before them. Ac-
cordingly the council of war by report
OF the 22d December last, satisfied his
majesty of the necessity of adopting The
most rigorous measures for Furnishing all
persons belonging TO foreign nations, who
shall be taken with arms in their hands in
the American dominion, under the banner
or dag ofthe insurgents |; and also all per-
sons who shall furnish arms, ammunition.
military stores, or vessels, for the purpose
of feeding the devonring flames which
unhappily still continue 10 consume some
precious provinces of his majesiy's Anne
rican possessions those foreigners hav-
ing 40 other object than TO enrich them
selves at the expense of the ruin and tot
destruction OF the minimizing subjects of
his majesty. AT the same time, the
council represented TO his majesty, that
the united voice of policy, justice, and
equity demand the adoption OF this system,
Notwithstanding the sentiments of pity,
which are so well known 10 abide in the
heart of The king with view that The
beneficial indulgence of his majesty in
the exercise of his sovereign power, and
in dispensing witk the rigor of the law,
has been pleased 10 accord 10 his subjects,
an opportunity to be treated as children,
who are deceived, which by the influence
and perfidlOus suggestions of foreigners,
have separated themselves from the path
oil honor and virtue, are not to be consid-
cred as guilty of The indispensable crime
oflreason, when they shew due contri-
tlon; which indulgence shall not hence
fosth be extended 10 those intrusive for
eIYners, because they do not stand in The
nderrelaiions toward his majesty, which
have excited The benevoience of his heart,
TO exercise his clemeDcy towards his own
yassals and those acts of benigniiy be-
ing spontaneous on the pari of his majes-
ty, are 10 be limited 10 only those who
are expressly comprehended therein,
without any kind of right of any third
person to comprehend persons therein,
who were not in his majesty's original
intention TO be so induIged.
Therefore the royal order of the 3Oth
April, which had been announced to the
general i'll chief OF his majesty i'm Ameri-
ca, ia TO be construed in conformity with
the royal determination in the present or
der.
Accordingly all foreigners who shall be
taken In the provinces now in rebellion,
with arms, or under the banners of the
insurgents, shall be subjected TO the same
punishment, as the subjects of the Ma
ton with which they are associated, and
whose instruction they are fomeniing.
Finally, the cOuncilhas determined that
according TO the laws ofnations, the prin.
ciple universally acknowledged, Thai
every foreigner who shall introduce him
self voluntarily into the territory of any
sovereign, with the purpose of disturbing
the public peace, or of committing ex.
cesses or crimes, OF whatever kind, be.
comes himself subject TO The Jurisdiction
and authority Of the country into which
lie has uniawfully entered nor can any
government whose subjects are thus az.
gressors, of right interfere viii or com.
plain of this act of public = dee.
His majesty having deliberaied OIL the
whole of the case, declares, as genera
