It was under the protectorate of the Kingdom of Sardinia (House of Savoy) that the citizens of Menton and Roquebrune declared independence from Monaco and pronounced themselves citizens of free cities ("villes libres") in 1848. This letter by Monagesque loyalists is to protest the establishment of "illegal governments" in Menton and Roquebrune and the prospect (later realized) of these lost portions of Monaco becoming part of the Sardinian Kingdom (subsequently ceded to France in 1861). 370 signatures of citizens of Monaco, signed on June 28 and notarized on July 5, 1848.
