Letter from Lord Cornwallis in Amiens, France to Lady Louisa Conolly,
1802 Jan. 6.
Letter from Lord Cornwallis [Charles, 1st Marquess and 2nd Earl Cornwallis (1738-1805)] in Amiens, France to Lady Louisa Conolly. He reamrks that he regrets that the plenipotentiaries negotiating the Treaty of Amiens cannot make provision in detail with respect to sequestrations as ‘it will be our business only to bring forward some general article in favor of claimants, which may probably be referred to the investigation of Commissioners. Your Ladyship may in the meantime be assured that I will put the case of Mrs. Connor into the best hands.’ He is pleased to learn that the work of Colonel Napier is satisfactory to the Irish government, and that, ‘with respect to the management of the country, moderation will continue to be the order of the day'.
