laws oT their country, have addrefied themselves to
me, t« obtain the means to repair to England, where
they hope at least to find rcpofe, and afy
ium ajainil the crueky of their persecutor*.
" It is with extreme concern, rtiagnificeht lord#,
that I find myfeif to re'fufe their requelt,.
and to declare to all of tfcem, that 1 cannot grtnt
a paflport to any of them, until I have received or
) der» from my court. 1 think it necefiary, m»gni
ficent lords, to comnunicate to ysu my resolution
upon thi» fubjedt, in ordtfrthat the persons, to whom
it relates, may not be ftifpefled of any neglect or
■ tardiness in obeying the ordinance made refpefting
them. God forbid that, in taking fneh a refolu'i
on, I fcould pretend to set bouiidt to the munifi
cence of my sovereign, or the generosity of his ftlß
jedls, which I hope, will exitt as long at rhe monar
chy itfelf. We have always, magnificent lords, a
confidence that our trtrans will by divine
t favour, in propottion at they arc employed in assis
ting the unfortunate.
I " But, it ft my duty, in this unforcfeen cafe, tp
■ take no step» without having previoully communica
ted to nly court all the circumstances which have
preceded, accompanied and followed this measure,
and intreatcd his majelty to me the moil dit»
tindl orders ft>r the regulation of my condufl in all
that relates to this business.
" I do not hesitate to avoW, that I hsre not been
without hope that the delay which might be caused
1 by my resolution in the execution of the order
against those who have no other afylirm but Eng
-1 land, would have offered to your lordships an op
portunity of confidcring of every mitigating cir
■ comftance, of which this cafe is capable. Perhaps
1 *lfo, this delay may lead those perfbns, who have
1 urged this measure, to think deliberately both up®n
itt nature, and the confcqucnces which may ensue
' e *
t from it.
F " Whatever may be the event, msgnificent lords,
: in adopting and cammunicating this resolution to
: your lordlhips, jf I can be ihe muans of saving any
[ one of those refpeftable families from exhausting
their lad resources, in taking a long and dangerous

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
r : _ STATE PAPER.
Tb« ambaflador Sweden, to the citizen minister
of foreign affairs.
| " Paris, August 1, 1796.
. " Citizen minister,
r "Itis by the express order of my court, that I
- have the honour to renew, before the direflofy, the
■ fleps I had already taken for the admission of M. de
| Rehaufen, ia the quality of charge d'affaires of his
. majesty tvith the French republic.
1 " Inviting you, citizen minister, to take again
- into consideration, a step so conformable to the good
1 intelligence which fubliftt between the two coun
tries, I beg you will permit me to make fotse ob
fervationt, which I submit to the directory.
" The confidence which friendly & allied powers
reciprocally owe each other, the refpeft which is its
. result, has always been indiftriminately granted to
f the perfoH chosen by his fovercign to repieftnt him
, —it is even inseparable from it. Both have, how
ever) been neglected in the person of bL de Rehau
j ien. His private sentiments can the less give um
- ro e government, as he would ccrtainly fa
. crifice thetfl in tlie e*ercife of his funftiotW) if thev
: eouid be contrary to the inttrudtions he has received,
and if in his conduct or in his language, he could
[ be wanting to the treaty which fnbftlh between
, Sweden and Francc. And it is in this cafe anlyj
, if a mifundcrftanding Ihould take place between the
s two governments, that his recall woula become ne
ceflary. Bnt since this is not the cafe, his sentiments
,• cannot be confrdered as a valid motive of exciufioii,
. and the refufal becomes consequently less an injury
, done to M. de Rehaufen, than a \Va:it of rtfpedl to
■ his fovercign.
y 1 mud likewise remark, that M. de Rchiturtn,
being at Paris, has beeq appointed to attend ad
, interim to the affairs of Sweden, at a time when
a rupture with Roffia was every ieftant cxpetted>
1
! and when the Svtedifh at that comt «'J"
on the eve of quitting his post. His appointment
could noc therefore liave been influenced by the
■j emprtfs of Rufiia, to whom lie is otherwise ail ut
ter fit anger.
"It is £r>r these renfons, citizen mini Iter, that 1
am unable to attribute to the person of M. de Re
. haufen the refufal of the diredorv to acknowledge
. ~ him in his public character. This refufal appears
evidently to announce the intention of. dik»bliging,
U in lh ( e face of Eurdpe, the mod ancient friend of
France. "1 hesitate to pronounce a mor<; decrfive
fuppofitioir; it is too repugnant to the known withes
of the Swedes and the Ffench, thertifelves, as like
wise to their rcfpefitive and at the fame
time it would be difficult for the enemies of tooth
(countries, not to find great fatisfaition in the dis
union of which the trench republic Btay have given
the signal. It is prescribed to me to declare, that
if M. de Rehaufen be not acknowledged, his raa
jefly will be obliged in support of his dignity, to
use reciprocity with regard to citizen Pcrrochel. I
This ntceffity will othe;rwife hate no influence 'oil
the desire Which his majesty will always havfc, to
ftrenjrthen the bands of friendship and good under
Handing -which ought to exist between the two i
powers.

It appears, by letters from the French generals ;
in Germany, that'general Jom dart is confined by
indispositiOn, and that the commahd of the army '
has devolved on general Kleber, who has obtained 1
fame partial advantages Over the Auftri*ns. The
French, in that quarter, continue to advance, and
the Auftrians to retreaj. The head-quarters of the
latter, when the accounts came away, were near
Donawert on the Danube.
It is fsid that the emperor hasrefolted to confine (
his efforts in future to the defence of his hereditary
dominions, and has sent coVnmiffioriers to negotiate
a treaty with the French.
We are happy in being able to lay, upon the aU- ]
thority of letters from the molt refpeitable raer- 1
charits of Lisbon, that no appiehenfion there is '
entertained frem * 'visit faom the French. The '
greatest rejoicings have taken place in that city, on ;
account of the fafe arrival of the Brazil Sett, which
has brought home immense wealth to Portugal.
