IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
The King of Holland to (he Legislative Body.
Gentlemen,
“ I charge the ministers to present to your assem
b!y, the resolution which 1 find myself compelled t<
t ike in consequence of the military occupation o
my capital. '1 lie bract? French sol ders have non
iher en-mies than such as are enemies to the com
mon cause of Holland and myself. They are am
ought to be received with nil the regard and civilit'
possible; but it is not less true, than in the aclua
situation of Holland, when an entire army, a rrnwi
of custom house offh ers, and when even the nati
oual army is taken from under the power of govern
meet; when every place, with the exception of tb
capital, was under the orders of a foreign officer,
thought it right to derlare to marshal the duke o
I’.ct’gio, and the charge de affaires from the einpe
cor, that if they occupied the capital and its viciui
•y» 1 should consider that operation as a mamtVs
violation of the rights of the people, and the mos
sacred righ is among men.
“ It was this which made me refuse custom hous
officers entrance iuto the Meudon, Naardcn ar-d Da
man. I was right in doing so; because the treat'
did not authorise the presence uf custom house oln
errs, hut upon the banks of the sea and at th
mouibs of fivers.
> " Gn the i 6th June, I received through thecharg
d affaires of his majesty the emperor and king, ei
assurance thati^g was not his intention to cu t op'
Amsterdam : that led me to hope that l.e would a
bide strictly by a treaty, the conditions of whirl
were drawn up by bis majesty the emperor himself
Lnfortuuateiy my error was not of long duration, a
1 lerpivtd a communication that 20.000 Frencl
troops had united in the environs of Utrecht,
continued notwithstanding theextreme scarcity, am
embarrassments of our finances, to furnish then
with subsistence and other necessary things, alibi
toe treaty precisely expressed that tin re should b
6000 men only maintained at the expense of th
kingdom; but 1 feared that this collecting of troop
was don* with other views unfavourable to our go
vernment;—and late in tile night of the 2i)th, 1 re
ceiveu official information that his majesty the era
perour insisted upon the occupation of Amsterdam
anil the establishment of tlie french head quarter
| in that capital.
^uuer mese circnmstances, gentlemen, yoi
cannot doubt that I was willing to sutler for in
people any humiliations, ll 1 could have preserve
the hope ol being able to support such a state, am
above all to prevent new evils, but I could not de
reive nay sell any longer. I have signed a treat
dictated Ly 1'ranee, under the conviction tha
measures the most disagreeable for the nation, am
lor myself, would not be hallowed up; and that sa
tisfhd with my voluntary abdication, which is th
consequence of the said treaty, every thin" wonl
go on smoothly between France and Holland. Th
treaty presents, indeed, a great number of pretence
and new grievances and accusations ■ bm eau pfe
ttnees be evei wanting ? 1 ought then to have con
fided intneexplanations and communications whirl
have been made to me besides ibis Ueaty ; and u
the formal and cir< umstantiul declarations which,
have not tailed to do—such as the custom house ol
ticers would only interfere in the measures relilmi
to the blockade ; that the French troops should on
ly remain on the coast; that the domains of th
state, and those of the crown, should be respected
that the debts ol the country wbicb had been redei
would be charged to France ; in a word, that Iron
the number of troops which were to be furnishei
should be deducted those which, at this motxiti:
are at the disposal of France in Spain ; and cvti
that for the maritime strength necessary tine
should be allowed. 1 have always flatteredmysel
that the treaty would be .fulfilled ; 1 have been an*
taken ; aud if t#k entire devotion which I have nia
infested for my duty on the 1st April has only lend
ed to diiig on and prolong the existence ol the coun
Iry lor three months, 1 have the cruelly gnevoui
Satisfaction, yet the. only one which now 1 cai
have, that 1 have lultillfd my obligation to the end
that 1 have (if I am permitted so to spejj.) sacrifi
ced to the existence and to the welfare of the coun
try all that was possible ; but after the submhsini
and resignation of the 1st of April, 1810, 1 shouh
be much to blame if I consented to retain tbe till
of king, being no longer but instrument, no
longer commanding, not only in the country, bu
even in my own capital j and perhaps soon, no
even in my palare.
i sncuia lie, nevertheless, a witness of ever
thing that might be going on, without being aid
to do any thing for my people, responsible lor al
occurrences, without the power to prevent them o
their influence. I should have exposed myself ti
"the complaints of both sides, and perhaps have oc
casioned great misfortunes; by doing which,
should have betrayed my conscience; my people
and my duly. I have for a long time foreseen ib<
extremity to which 1 am Row reduced, but I *Md
not have prevented it withojrtiwcnfiring njosi sa
cfed duties, without ceasing to barest heart th
interests of my people, and without ceasiug to ecu
uect my fate with that of the coumiy. Now tha
Holland is reduced tojfcat condition, I have, as
king of Hollaud, b.ut'fr^ ,<>ui» m utr, t»
■<8pt course to take, that is, t<
abdicate the throna in favour of my children. An
other course would have only augmented the 1411.
fortunes of nty reign. J should fcave perhaps set
often, the peaceable inhabitants virgins to cwutei
tkms of governments d.stu.yed at olsce. How lh<
, could an idea of resistance ever en(^

would hev

their inheritance, since he has nnt,nor<M» fovesmf f*

May the end of my career prove to tbs nation am# ¥

that the faults I may have committed, are solely td

with an attachment to the Prince Boyff who de*

disposition. The queen bus the same interests a*f

commending to you in the most earnest maimer/
and in the name of the interest and of the existenci
of so many families, whose Jives and property would
be inlallitdy compromised, to receive the‘French .
with the attention, with the kindnetuur.nd the cor* 3
