NETHERLANDERS ! —At this important crisis it is the duty of all Netherlander-, at all points, in all stations, every one in his own 1 sphere, to rallyiround the general Goveinmeut of the United Netherlands, which, in the name of his Serene Highness the Prince °Mange, summons us to assist in the deliverance of our beloved country. My election is not doubtful; I 'abjure 'for ever the French Em peror. . I accept of the post to which I have been invited of Commander in • Chief of the defence of the Maese. Hasten to my assistance all you who see still actually in the service of France; all who arc able and willing to unite around and under our re-establised sea.sfandard. • The seamen shall have a gratification. They bind themselves provisionally only for two months. A full mouth's lay shall. be given in advance. Experienced ,oiiicers shall in provided for in every 1,4;4. Fulfil, then, with me, your loty, cherished wishes : ' forsake the Trench flag, which is the abhorence of all• Europe. The broom against the mast head ! and the waters shall soon be swept of the adherents of a conqueror ' who, iti the madness of his leated imagination, songtit to extend his sway to the utmost ends of the earth. Bestow the glory of the match Rag, formerly invin cible, formerly respectecl—but whieh since. by the sacrilegious Lands of our oppressors, has been covered with ignothiny and torn in pieces. %Ire light no longer for a tyrant who exhausted us, who tnaiie the bloom of our youth tributary to his lust of sway, and who for so many years has made the most destrue!ive war his game ; . no ! • we fight for our own country, for own tatlivr::, fin. our wives, for our chil dren, and our property. This cause is legitimate, it is holy ; the cause of our native country is the vans,: of God. _Hasten then to my assistance ! 'iliccess and glory await us. Our Country and O•ange was a t - allying point in all the difficult times for our history. It was ahsays the signal of triumph and shall be so still. _ . Eighteen years of oppres.•ion have not made ns deicnerate. The blo 41 of Dutchmen cannot bt bastardised ; it atilt animates sts with coinage, it still invitcs U.S to combats.
