His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, my master, having taken under his consideration the intentions of Pius VII. as published in his bull, Solicitudo Omnium, dated 7th August last year, by which his Holiness has thought proper to revive the Company of Jesus, which was extinct, thereby derogating, in so far as the authority of the Church is concerned, from the other bull, Dominus ac Redemptor noster, of Clement XIV. of glorious memory: His Royal Highness is surprised at this determination of his Holiness, this Court never having been informed of it in any way before, although it has had most reason to complain of the offences of the Company of Jesus, against which Portugal proceeded in the most energetic manner, by the ordinance of September 3, 1759. The positive intentions of his Royal Highness being to maintain in their utmost rigour the dispositions of the above ordinance, whatever may be the determination of other crowned heads, even of such as associated for the extinction of the said Company, my august master commands me to communicate his resolution to you, in order that Papers relative to the Convention for the Evacuation of Paris, laid before the House of Commons. 1.

My Lord;-I have had the honour of receiving your Lordship's letter, marked "separate," of the 7th inst. regarding the Convention of the 3d. The Convention binds nobody except the parties to it; viz. the French army on one side, and the Allied armies under Marshal Blucher and myself on the other; and the 12th Article cannot be considered, and never was in It is extraordinary that Madame la Maréchale Ney should have thought proper to publish in print parts of a conversation which she is supposed to have had with the Duke of Wellington, and that she has omitted to publish that which is a much better record of the Duke's opinion on the subject to which the conversation related, viz. the Duke's letter to the Marshal Prince de la Moskwa, in answer to the Marshal's note to his Grace.
