Minister at the Court of France, dated February 3d,
1743/4; Extracts of Mr. Thompson's Letters in Answer
thereunto; and the Information, upon Oath, of Captain Alexander Ridley, Master of One of His Majesty's
Packet Boats at Dover, February 24th, 1743/4.
Which Letter, Extracts, and Information, were read,
as follow:
"Whitehall, February 3d, 1743/4.
"Sir,
"His Majesty having received Advice, that the Pretender's Eldest Son set out from Rome on the 27th or
28th of December, O. S. for France, and that he
actually arrived at Antibes on the 17th past; it is His
Majesty's Pleasure, that you should immediately go to
Monsieur Amelot, and let him know, that His Majesty, considering the Engagements His Most Christian
Majesty is under, by Treaties, with regard to the
Pretender and his Descendants, had commanded you
to acquaint him with the Informations the King had
received; and that His Majesty did not doubt, but
that, if those Accounts are founded, His Most Christian Majesty would, pursuant to the Treaties, give
effectual Orders that the said Person may be obliged
forthwith to quit the French King's Dominions, if he
should be still there; and that he may not be countenanced or protected by any of His Most Christian
Majesty's Officers or Subjects.
"You will transmit to me the Answer that Monsieur
Amelot shall give you from His Most Christian Majesty, that I may acquaint the King with it.
"I am, &c.
"Holles Newcastle."
"Extract of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, to the
Duke of Newcastle, Paris, February 7/18th,
1743/4;.
"I received, this Morning, the Honour of your
Grace's Dispatch of the 3d Instant, O. S. by Hammond the Messenger, just as I was going to Monsieur
Amelot's, so that no Time was lost in executing the
Commands your Grace was pleased to send me from
His Majesty. I had very little Talk with Monsieur
Amelot upon this Subject; I told him, "That the
News, which had been public here for this Week
past, had likewise reached London; where I heard
that People were greatly scandalized at it: That I had
now Orders from the King to tell him (Monsieur
Amelot) what His Majesty had heard of this Matter;
and to represent to him, that, considering the Engagements His Most Christian Majesty was under to the
King, with respect to the Pretender and his Descendants, by virtue of the most solemn Treaties, His
Majesty did not doubt, but, upon the Representation
I was now ordered to make, this Person would not
only be obliged to retire out of France, if he was
actually in it; but that His Most Christian Majesty
would also fulfil in all respects the Engagements
He was under to the King, on account of the Pretender, his Descendants and Adherents." In a Word,
I told him, "That, not to go beyond or fall short of
what I was directed to say to him, nor to make a
Mistake of any Kind, I would, if he pleased, read
to him your Grace's Letter to me;" which he desired
I would. When I had done, Monsieur Amelot told
me, "Now that I spoke to him by Order, he must
likewise receive the French King's Commands." He
promised, he would speak to the King the very First
Opportunity, and would acquaint me immediately
with His Most Christian Majesty's Pleasure."
"Extract of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, to the
Duke of Newcastle, Paris, February 14/25th,
1743/4.
"In my Letter of this Day Sevennight, I had the
Honour to acquaint your Grace with what Monsieur
Amelot had said to me, upon my communicating to him
the Orders I had received to speak to him about the
Arrival of the Pretender's Son in France; videlicet,
"That he would give no Answer till he had seen the
King." I heard nothing more of him from that Time
till this Morning that I went to Versailles, where Monsieur Amelot, by Order of His Most Christian Majesty, was pleased to make me a Kind of Declaration
to the following Effect: "That Engagements entered
into by Treaties are not binding any farther than those
Treaties are religiously observed by the contracting
Parties on all Sides; that, when the King of England
shall have caused Satisfaction to be given, upon the
repeated Complaints that have been made to him of
the Infractions of those very Treaties of which He
now demands the Performance, which Violations were
committed by His Orders, His Most Christian Majesty
will then explain Himself upon the Demand now
made by Mr. Thompson in the Name of His Britannick
Majesty." The Words, as I wrote them down in
Monsieur Amelot's Presence, and from his own Mouth,
are: "Les Engagemens portés par les Traités n'obligent, qu'autant qu'ils font religieusement observés
de Part et d'autre. Quand le Roy d'Angleterre aura
fait Raison des Plaintes, qui luy ont êté portées à
plusieurs Reprises, au Sujet des Contraventions commises par ses Ordres, contre les mêmes Traités qu'il
reclame, sa Majesté très Chrêtienne donnera pour lors
des Eclaircissemens sur la Demande faite par Monsieur
Thompson de la Part du Roy de la Grande Bretagne."
"Monsieur Amelot made some little Difficulty at first
to let me take this down in Writing; because the
Demand, he said, had been made only verbally. To
which I replied, "It was true; neither did I ask him
to give me any Thing in Writing; but, as this seemed
to be of great Consequence, I desired Leave to write
it down, to help my Memory."
"The Information, upon Oath, of Captain Alexander Ridley, Master of One of His Majesty's
Packet Boats at Dover, February 24th, 174¾.
"Who faith, "That he failed from Dover on Tuesday
the 14th Instant, and arrived the same Day at Calais.
Upon his Arrival there, he was ordered to hawl his
Vessel into a Place called Paradise, where seized and
condemned Vessels usually lie: That several English
Merchant Ships were the same Day ordered into the
same Place: That, on Friday the 17th, the English
Mail from Paris arrived at Calais; upon which, this
Informant applied to the Post-master of Calais, to
know whether he might proceed with it to England:
Who told him, "He would ask the Governor;" and
soon after acquainted him, he must not go to England.
That, on the same Day, Hammond the Messenger arrived from Paris, with Dispatches from Mr. Thompson,
and went to the Governor, to know whether he might
proceed to England; which he was not permitted to
do. That, on Saturday the 18th, the said Messenger
delivered, in a private Manner, to this Informant,
Mr. Thompson's Dispatches; which he immediately
concealed in a very private Place on Board his Vessel.
That, on Monday or Tuesday last, another English Mail
arrived at Calais; upon which, the Post-master came
to this Informant, and asked him, "Whether he would
fail with the Mails for England?" "Which," he said,
he was ready to do;" but the Mails were not delivered to him till the next Day, (videlicet,) Wednesday.
That, the same Day, between Two and Three o'Clock
in the Afternoon, a File of Musqueteers, with some
Officers, came on Board, and searched his Vessel very
strictly, and particularly asked him, "Whether he
had not the English Messenger's Dispatches for the
Duke of Newcastle on Board?" Which he denied.
That this Informant asked the Commandant, "Whether the Messenger might not proceed to England?"
which, the Commandant said, he might do. Upon
which, this Informant sent his Mate, to acquaint the
Messenger with it, and to desire him to come on
Board; but, as the Messenger was preparing to come
on Board, he was stopt on the Quay by the Commandant and others; who asked him for his Dispatches;
but he told them, "He had no Dispatches, only a few
private Letters, which he shewed them." That, upon
this, the Mate returned on Board; and having acquainted this Informant that the Messenger was detained, he immediately put to Sea, and arrived the
same Night past Twelve o'Clock at Dover; from
whence he immediately sent his Vessel with his Mate
to Sir John Norris in The Downs, to acquaint him
with what he had observed and heard at Calais."
"This Informant further faith, That he heard, whilst
he was Calais, that there were between Twenty

of those invaluable Rights, against France, or any
other Power that shall presume to attack or disturb
