Sir:-I beg leave to inform you that
great doubt exists in the minds of British
subjects, who Under the provisions of
your order No. al, are called upon to
subscribe to the oath therein set forth, as
to the consequences of compliance with
the behests of that order.
| would therefore respectfully request
that you will inform me whether the oath
prescribed in the first instance is intend
ed, or in your understanding, can be
construed to affect the natural allegiance
they owe to the Government of their ma
tisity
Objections have also been very gene
rally urged against the oath prescribed to
duly registered aliens, on the ground that
it imposes on them lin words at least) the
Office of spy, and forces them to act in
consistently with the ordinary obligations
of probity, honor and neutrality.
Hoping that l may receive such ex
planation as will obviate the dif1icuItie S
suggested, have the honor to be, sir,
your obedieut servant.
