Most assuredly, I have no right to detain you, or any strangers, against your wills; this is an act of tyranny to which our manners and our laws are equally repugnant. All men are by nature free; you have therefore an undoubted liberty to depart whenever you please, but you will have many and great difficulties to encounter in passing the frontiers.
Je n'ai pas assurément le droit de retenir des étrangers; c'est une tyrannie qui n'est ni dans nos moeurs ni dans nos lois; tous les hommes sont libres; partez quand vous voudrez, mais la sortie est bien difficile.
