clare candidy to the man who was the
friend Of my mother, that in quitting my
prison have not been actuated by any
idea of renewing against the French gov
eminent war which has been disaster
Gus to myself, but only to be enabled TO
approach my aged father.
Previous to my taking this step, made
every effort to obtain from the French
government permission to 90 to florence,
and | offered every guaranty consistent
with my honor. But finding that all my
applications proved unsuccessful, | deter
mined to have recourse to the last expe'
dent, which the Due de Nemours and the
Due de Guise, adopted, in similar circum-
stances, under Henry the Fourth.
beg Monsieur LIE Comte, that you will
inform the French government OF my
peaceable intentions; and hope that such
spontaneous assurance on my part will
shorten the captivity of my Fl lends who
