Fifthly. That your highness, by these several personal and unequivocal
acts, has ratified the engagements contained in the proclamation published
in the Isle of France, and has taken the preliminary steps for fulfilling those
engagements according to the tenor of that proclamation ; and that you have
thereby precluded whatever hope might otherwise have been entertained,
that the proceedings of your highness's ambassadors were unauthorized by
your orders.
Sixthly. That your highness has, for some time past, been employed in
military preparations, conformably to the hostile spirit of your engage-

Seventhly. That your highness was prepared to make an unprovoked
attack upon the company's possessions, if you had obtained from the
French the effectual succour which you had solicited through your
ambassadors.
Eighthly. That your highness, by these several acts, has violated the
treaties of peace and friendship subsisting between your highness and the
allies.

allies to seek relief horn that ambiguous and anxious state in which they
have been placed for some years past by the conduct of your highness.
The allies complain that your frequent preparations for war, together with
your hostile negotiations and offensive alliances with the enemy, continu-
ally expose the allies, during a period of supposed peace, to all the
solicitude and hazard, and much of the expence, of war.
Even under all these circumstances of provocation, the allies entertain
