Hassan - Bacha - Bey à son Très Fidèle Allié et véritable ami le Roi de la Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande.

Attendu qu'il nous a été représenté qu'une grossière insulte a été faite au pavillon anglais en ce qui concerne le vaisseau anglais le Marc-Antoine, en violation des Traités existant entre Nous et Sa Majesté le Roi de la Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande, nous nions, par les présentes, avoir aucune connaissance d'un tel outrage, et en signe de notre sincère regret à cette occasion, nous desirons offrir à Sadite Majesté le Roi de la Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande notre assurance formelle que nous prendrons des mesures pour prévenir le renouvellement de procédés semblables, en ordonnant et enjoignant à tous et chacun de nos officiers et autres personnes nous devant hommage et obéissance, de réprimer, sous leur responsabilité, toute molestation ou injure faite par parole ou par action à des sujets anglais, leurs vaisseaux ou propriétés dans l'intérieur de nos domaines, mais au contraire de leur montrer tout le respect qui leur est dû en conformité avec les Traités et nos intentions; quiconque enfreindra cet ordre, sera puni d'une manière exemplaire.
