so Lf i ter a Mag'ftrate of Bern ia the name of the
Council, to Monf. Barthelemy, in anjwer to hia
} letter to the Helvetic Cantons f.
m When, Sir, yout demand of being formally
ie acknowledged as Arobaflacjor of the French Re
ly public was laid before the Council of which 1 have
le the honor to be a member, I opposed it, because I
h did not fee any advantage whifh could arise from
ls that measure to the Helvetic Body, because, with
i. out having been acknowledged by lis under that
e title, you had nevertheless for several years ac\c(l
>t as the intermediate agent in the various connexion*
|. between France and Switzerland, and because I
■t confi<i«red that demand as an atteippt to draw after
e it many others which might disturb our rights and
t our tranquillity.
r, Your letter of the 20th of May, which has this
1. moment been trasifmitted to us through the Hel
1, vetie Direfiory, juftifics my willru/l, and leave.
e us no longer any rrnf" m d~"<kl k,,> tint the
r I'lVrtllifi ICepublic have m truth an intention of o
verturning the bafisof natural law, and of the pub
s lie rights of nations.
How, Sir !—Hofpitality is unquestionably one
. of the raoft sacred laws of Nature ; it wis theori.
. gin of civilization, it created {so tofpeat) all the
. social virtues, and yet the firft aft of your mifiien
, is to solicit us solemnly to infringe it. You not
. only demand from u» th.t we !hou!d rejedt those
. unhappy fugitives whom your fuccelTes in Italy have
. driven from an asylum where they enjoyed the only
consolation of the unfortunate, the refpeit of the
. public ; but yon also press upon us abfoluteljr t®
feanifh f»om our territories, the unfortunate, whon»
our religion direds us to comfort, whom refpeft
for oar laws, our customs and our manners, has
daily rendered more dear to/our fellow-citizen.,
who for seven years have by their conda& prefeat.
Ed to our countrymen examples of the ftri&eft
j fidelity, and in their misfortunes have afforde<| pat.
ferns of the noblest reCgnation. They are, yon
fay, the enemies of both nations. Without doubt
they figji over the vidtims of oppreflion, and over
the cruel destiny of their country, torn by the fu
ry of difcoidant factions—Ah! whereis the heart
so hard as lint to &cd tears over the evils which
France has endured for so many years—But if they
have plans of haired and vengeance (which the
necessary weakness of their Gtuation will not per
mit us even to fufpeit) they take good care to
conceal them from us, and it is time at length to
render us justice, by bifeving that our a£iive care
will not give thcra any opportunity of favoring in
our territory the hollile schemes of the power*
leagued against our government. No, Sir, they
are not cur enemies—gratitude docs not produce
hatred : I will fay more, they ate not your's—they
companionate you, and fliould it happen that the
, r ' une °f wai Should favor their cai:fe, their fitft
wiih (to use their own enpreffion) would be to o
