Had the Emperor confined his rage

where no positive contract appears to
exist between the sovereign and the

would not perhaps have been disput
ed —although all ranks of people
complain of this despotism, and would
cheerfully (hake off the yoke, if they
happily possessed the means ; but his
fauation in the Netherlands is diffe
rent, his power is circumscribed, the
limits of his authority are marked and
clearly defined by legible and exiting
laws, which he is Solemnly (worn to
preserve inviolable, and which he
cannot infringe without incurring the
guilt of perjury, and forfeiting the al
' legiance of the people.

It is now known to a certainty thnt
the patriots in Flanders have received
very large remittances from this coun

remitted to them no less a sum than
15,0001.
By whom this house wal commis

cannot presume to tel!, and therefore
we cannot fay whether the money re

held with equal horror and indigra

by the military in noon day f>r a di
abolical purpose of exciting the p 0
ple to revolt, that a pretext might be
had for havock and devastation; and
levying war against the deienceiefs
natives ; yet these injuries, enormous
as they are, and aggravated as they
have been by the ferocious tyranny of
a subaltern despot, whose brutality in
Hungary has been rewarded with the
command of the army in the Low
Countries, could not have compelled;
them to deviate from that patient andl
exemplary submission, which has ever|
distinguished them, and still less could I
they have forced them into a coned;

possessed for their lives, liberties and }
fortunes, had not been annihilated &

The expedient of con nging the

moment, and impose on weak and ti

of a nation, roused by repeated inju

rife fu periour to these last efforts of
vindictive tyranny, and tender them
as impotent and abortive as they are
wicker and unexampled. Far how
ever, from imi axing a conduct so con
trary to the received maxims of jus
tice and humanity, their enormities
will only be retaliated on their imme

by innumerable oppretfions, to de
