IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
The King of Holland to the Legislative
Body,
“ GENTLEMEN, :
. ¢ I charge the Ministers to present
to, your aflumbly, the resolution which.
I find niyfelf compelled to- take) in
consequence of the military occnpa
tion of my capital. The brave French
soldiers ‘have no other ;ncmg‘ég&mn
such as are enemies to the comion
‘caufe of Holland and myfelf. They
are and ought to be received with all
the regard and, civility poflible ; but
‘it is not lefs.true, that in the atual
situation of Holland, when an-entire
-grmys a erowd of Cuflom hotnfe Of.
‘cers, and when éven the Natiopal ar
-my is taken from under the power of
. Government ;' when every place, with
_the ‘exception of the Capital, was un
der the orders of ‘a Foreign officer, I
thonght it--right to declare to Mar
fial the Duke of Reggio, and the
Charge &’ Affaires from the Emperar,
that if ‘they occupied the Capital and
its: wicinity, I' should confider that
_operation; as a manifelt violation of
the rights of the people; and the most
%‘d rights among men.
~~ * It was this which made me refofe
“ehffom-houfe officers *entrance ifto

of cftom bous fier, bt vpon e
oblervation. These improvements
of considerable works executed by the
corporation, and the others are chicfly
due to_the enterprising spirit of
-our new settlers from the island of
,Cuhao ‘ % B poret i‘:"' . \ :
.~ % A new. suburb has been entirely
~built by these f{ettlers on the plains
-of Mr, Marigny’s plantation, where
not less than 400 new houses may be
_counted, besides a namber of about
150 more ereéted in the heart of our
town. Primary schools have been
eltablithed, fotne of them on a larger
{cale than might have been expedted ;
‘teaching malters for all kinds of
personal accomplishments are now
easily found in our town ; the price of
labor ils diminithed by concarrence,
and the work improved by emula
tion among the mechanics.. Public o
pinion whichin a 2 country like this,
is formed principally by petfons who
speak the French language, has be
come less fubje@ to be deceived
by mescenary prints. - Experience &
~a remembrance of their palt misfor
tunes has the more qualified our new
settlers to procure this change as
many of them are men of informa
tion. A |
- % There have been but a few who
have gone up the country ; théy Rill
like the vinicity of the sea shores,
which they inhabited in the Weft In
dia islands. "They were too uncertain,
it-seems, of the fate they could hope
from ameinland residence, and have
preterred present though f{mall ad.
vantages in town to prefpeéts held be
fore them cos which they could form
1o judgment. , . i
. ** We have not cezafed to enjoy pro
found peace in’ our town, since they
“have been under the laws of our
country which is daily becomingtheirs
More and mors. About one half of
our city guard is taken from among
them, and they are faithful and a&ive
in the fulfilment of their duties. That
body though confiting only of sorry
five persons in a&ive service, and
twenty five supernumeraries has prov.-
ed acéquate to our wants and has
checked a disposition to turbulence
which had been frequently witnefled:
in a few particular charallers ever
since the affairof Burr. . = .
- Among the improvements which
gre due to the wvigilance of the city
‘council, may be enumerared, 18, the
building of a new market house in
brick, 49 feet wide and 300 feet long,
supported by 10z columns 14 feet
high, with a roof of 18 inch slate, not
yet finifhed, owing to the difficulty
of getting the flites transported from
Philadelphia ; 2d, the facing of 1000
feet of the levee in front of the mar
ket place of the povernthent house
and the adjoining square. This facing
has a flooring infolid plank, support
ed by a frame with piles 1 foot square,
funk fourteen feet under ground : 3d,.
a New Levee made of eatth 25 feet
wide, and planted with two ranges of
trees from Girod fireet up to Madame
Delot’s, 2 distance of not less than
400 fathoms in front of the faburb
St. Mary 5 4th, a bridge pedrly finifh
ed, built of the best _mzterials on the
Bayon St. Jt‘hn.'.x a draw in the
middle pars of it ; the bridge being
254 f¢et long and thirty two feet wide,

by a treaty, the conditions of which
‘were drawn up by his M'ﬂ’lcﬁy the
Emperor him{elf.. Unfortunately my
error was not of long duration, as I
received a communication that twenty
thousand French troops had united in
the environs of Utrecht. 1 contina.
ed, notwithstanding the extreme scar.
city, and embarrafiments of our fi
nances, to furnith them with {ub.
fitance and other neceflary things, al.
though the treaty precisely expressed
that there (honld be 6oco mén only
‘maintained at thé expence of the king
dom ; but I feared that this colle&.
‘ing of troops was done with other
views unfavorable to our government ;
and late in the night of the 29:h, 1
received official information that his
Majesty the Emperor infited upon the
occupation. of Amsterdam,. and the
eltablith nent -of the French head
quarters in that capital.
* % Under these circumstances, gen:
tlemen, you cannot doubt that I was
willing to fuffer for my people any hu
miliations, if I could have preserved
the hope of being able to support such
a slate, and abové all o prevént new
evils, but I could not deceive myfeif
apy longer., Fhave signed a treaty
ditated by France,under the convie

fatisfied with my voluntary abdicatien,
which is the consequence of the fard
treaty, 'evgry thing would go/ on
smoothly between France and Hol.
land. The treaty presents, indepd, a
great number of pretences and of new
gticvances a%d accusations ; bt can
pretences be ever wanting ? [ 'sught
then to have confided in the explana
tions and communications which bave
been made to me belides thii treaty ;
and in the formal and circom@aniial
declaratiis ‘which I have not failed
to do—{fuch as that the cuflom hoofe
officers would only interfere in the
mealures relating to blockade s that
the French troops should only remain
on the coast ; that the domains of
the Rate, and those of the crown
should be refpeéted ; that the debts of
the countries 'which hdd been ceded
would be charged to France ; ina
word, that from the number of troops
which were to be furnithed, tnere
should be dedufted those “which, at
this moment are at the disposal of
France in Spain 3 and even that for
the maritime firength, neceflary time
should be allowed. I have always
fattered myfelf that the treaty would
be fulfilled ; I have been miftzken ;
and if the entire devorion which I
hayve manifefted for my duty on the
Ift of Agri), ‘has only tended to drag
on and prolong the existence of the
eountry for three months, 1 have the
cruelly grievous fatisfadtion, yet the
‘only one which now I can have, that
I have fuifilled my obligations to the
end ; that 1 have {if T am so permit

submission and the resignation of the

blame if I consented to retain the title
of King, being no longer but an in
firument, no longer commanding, not
only in the country, but even in my
‘own capital ; and perhaps soon, not
even in my Palace. \
I thould be nevertheless, 2 witness
of every thing that might be going on,
without being able ro do any thing for
‘my people, responsible for all occur
rences, without the power to prevent
them or their influence. 1 should
have exposed myfelf tothe complints
of both ﬁdg’§ and perhaps have occa
sioned great misfortunes ; by doing
which, I should bave betrayed my
‘confcience, my people, and my duty.
