Court, by such attention to your Highnesses Wishes as may be in his
power, of carrying into effect the intention of this honourable and
friendly Mission.
We presume Your Highness, to be sufficiently and accurately
informed of the Overthrow of the Ancient and monarchial Government
of France, and the desolation and Destruction which the French by their
Intrigues and their Armies have spread over many parts of Europe by
exciting in the lower order of people a Spirit of discontent and Rebellion
towards their ancient Governors and Governments, and by tramplino-
with the assistance of those become Converts to their principles, on all
Systems moral and divine, substituting in the place of order, anarchy, in
the place of Justice, Cruelty and oppression, and in the place of ReliVion,
Licentiousness and Atheism.
It cannot escape a person of your Highnesses Penetration and Judg
ment that all regular Governments are equally interested to prevent the
Extension of Principles which strike at their very essence and Basis ;
but, as these Principles in the persons at present in power in France are
connected with an unbounded Ambition and an insatiable Thirst for
Plunder, which may induce them to undertake enterprizes the most
distant and extraordinary, which will commence under the Specious
Mask of Friendship and Protection and conclude, as has been experienced
by all Countries which have suffered French Interference, 'with the
destruction) of everything valuable and sacred.
We therefore esteem it an act of Friendship to assure your Highness
that, if they should be attempted to be put in Practice in the Countries
under your Government or Influence, we will, whenever you desire us to
do so, afford you any assistance in our Power towards Suppressing them ;
and we shall give the necessary directions to our Governments in India
for that Purpose, as well as for their Communicating frequently with
your Highness and paying the strictest attention to all your Requests.
We doubt not, however, that your Highness's Vigilance and Exertions
on such an occasion would render any such Assistance from us
unnecessary.
We have directed Mr. Jones to acquaint your Highness of the present
state of the Politics of Europe, and, as we have the greatest Confidence
in his Zeal for our Service, We entreat your Highness to regard what
ever he may say to you, by our order, as authentic and to be depended
on.
We very Sincerely and heartily wish your Highness every sort of
happiness , and that your Glory and Grandeur may daily increase.
JACOB BOSANQUET,
Chairman.
