si que cela est arrive
dans le canton de Bale campagne. J'avoue que j'ai ete bien aise d'avoir
cette occasion de bien etablir que sous mon regne tous les Francais
jouissent des memes droits et que tous obtiennent la meme protection de
la part de mon gouvernement. J'espere que mes efforts ne seront pas

canton reviendra sur une determination aussi contraire a nos traites
avec la Suisse qu'a l'esprit du siecle ou nous vivons. Pour moi, je suis
heureux d'avoir donne l'exemple de votre complete emancipation, et je
vous remercie de la justice que vous rendez a mes actes et a mes
intentions; je suis bien touche de ce que vous venez de m'exprimer."
