 1. The Knights of the Order, whofe 
 languages fliall continue to fubfift, after the 
 exchange of the Ratification of the prefent 
 Treaty, are invited to return to Malta, as foon 
 as the exchange fhall have taken place. They 
 will there form a general chapter, and proceed 
 to the eleflion of a Grand Mafter, chofen 
 from among the natives of the nation which 
 preferve their language, unlefs that ele6tion 
 has been already made (ince the exchange of 
 the Preliminaries. 
 
 It is underftood that an ele6lion made 
 fubfequent to that epoch fhall alone be confi- 
 dered valid, to the exclufion of any other that 
 may have taken place at any period prior to 
 that epoch. 
 
 2. The Governments of the French Re- 
 public and of Great Britain, defiring to place 
 the Order and Ifland of Malta in a ftate of 
 entire independence with refpedl to them, 
 agree that there Ihall not be in future either a 
 French or Englifti language; and that no in- 
 dividual belonging to either the one or other 
 of thefe powers fliall be admitted into the 
 
 order.*

 language, which (hall be fupported by the 
 territorial revenues and commercial duties of 
 the Kland. This language Ihall have its pecu- 
 liar dignities, an eftablifhment, and an hotel. 
 Proofs of Nobility fhall not be neceffary for 
 the admiflion of Knights of this language; and 
 they fhall be moreover admifiible to all offices, 
 and (hall enjoy all privileges in the, fame man- 
 as the Knights of the other languages. At 
 leaft half of the municipal, adminiftrativc, 
 civil, judicial, and other employments depend- 
 ing on the Government, fhall be filled by inha- 
 
 of P uta. This provifo in the Article completely annihilates the 
 preponderance which the French Knights have always maintained 
 in the Order. By the original Conftitution of the Order of St. 
 John of Jerufalem, it confined of eight nations, or " langues,'* 
 (tongues) as they were technirally (Hied, viz. Provencal, Auvergne", 
 France, Arragon, Caftile, Italian, German, apd Englifh. The 
 latter nation was fevered from the Order during the reign of Henry 
 the Eighth, when the Reformation and confequent fchifm with the 
 Church of Rome took place. Of the feven remaining '• langues,'* 
 or nations, the three firll were latteWy wholly FicucJi, and as fuch> 
 conlHtuting but one intereft ; the countries ofAuvergne and Pro- 
 vence having merged either by cc-.iqueft or union into that of 
 France. With fuch a weight in the deliberations of the Order, it 
 svas to be exp^uled, that the inte/ell:? and wifhes of France fliould 
 meet with a pjeference on ^11 occafions. To dcllioy tnis influence 
 was the obvious policy of our country, and it has been fully effedled 
 by the alteration which it has been agreed to introdttCC into the 
 CouUitution of the 0;dcr. '••x^ *,''■,■'.
