On the ill July, previous to
his abdication of the throne of
HJlanl, the cilevant King Louis
add reded a long note to the Legijh
the b tly of that mock kingdom j ifi
which he recounts the tyranical mea
fures directed by his brother, the
Emperor of France, again It Holland,
in covering its territory with a mer
cenary army, and gangs of French
Cuitom-houfe officers. lie declares
that it was his [Lents'] refufal to per
mit thefe gangs, contrary to treaty,
to prowl over his kingdom, aiul Ins
oppofrtion to the occupancy of Am
Jtcrdan\ by French troops that had
provoked Jus brorlier ; and induced
(the Emperor) to order troops to uke
poileflion of tlie capital. In this lu
nation .Louis declares lie coiud no
longer wear the crown, and had ta
ken the 4>xed refolution to rclign it
in favor of Ins fon, Louis Nafolion.
He adds his hopes, that this meal tire
will tend to reconcile brines and Hoi'
Lind, and that his brother fo violent
ly irritated againll him, will not be
lo againll his children ; and exhorts
the Hollanders t.o receive the French
troops with kindnefs, and to treat
them as the belt friends of 11.Hand.
