Letter of Lord Grenville dismissing French Ambassador, Mons. Chavelin, dated Whitehall, December 31st, 1792.—(From State Papers relating to the War against France. London, 1794, p. 227.)

I HAVE received, Sir, from you a note, in which, styling yourself Minister Plenipotentiary of France, you communicate to me, as the King's Secretary of State, the instructions which you state to have yourself received from the Executive Council of the French Republic. You are not ignorant, that since the unhappy events of the 10th of August, the King has thought proper to suspend all official communication with France. You are yourself no otherwise accredited to the King, than in the name of His Most Christian Majesty. The proposition of receiving a minister accredited by any other authority or power in France would be a new question; which, whenever it should occur, the King would have the right to decide, according to the interests of his subjects, his own dignity, and the regard which he owes to his allies, and to the general system of Europe. I am therefore to inform you, Sir, in express and formal terms, that I acknowledge you in no other public character than that of Minister from His Most Christian Majesty, and that, consequently you cannot be admitted to treat with the King's Ministers, in the quality and under the form stated in your note.

"But observing that you have entered into explanations of some of the circumstances which have given to England strong grounds of uneasiness and jealousy, and that you speak of these explanations as being of a nature to bring our two countries nearer, I have been unwilling to convey to you the notification stated above, without at the same time explaining myself clearly and distinctly on the subject of what you have communicated to me, though under a form which is neither regular nor official.

Your explanations are confined to three points.

The first is, that of the decree of the National Convention, of the 19th SEPTEMBER, 1857.-33
