legation has received from the sublime
porte the following cableRram;
1T has been falsely stated that the mis-
sionaries would be expelled The imperial
government has not taken and does not
intend TO take any general measure OF ex-
pulsion of missionaries and Catholic
priests. Those among them who attend
peacefully to their business are not and
will not be disturbed. But surely II can.
not be the samo for those who by their at.
titude try to disturb the order and tran
quillity Of the country and place them
selves in open hostility to the laws and
regulations in force IN the empire.
The imperial government, watchful OF
the maintenance of the public security,
has the duty to send them away from its
territory. and in so doing it avails itself
of right which in all justice nobody could
contest "
