THE HAGUE, AUGUST 1.

DESPATCH of BARON VERSTOLK, COMMUNICAThpi
the STATES-GENERAL of the HAGUE, the sth AUG.
TO THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES OF AUSTRIA, FRANCE, GREAT O.
TAIN, PRUSSIA, AND RUSSIA.
I have had the honour to receive the letters which your P:1;
cellencies have written to me of the 25th of July, and by Wh."..,
they express their hope that notwithstanding the declarato!,
contained in the despatch of the 12th of the same month, fret`l
negociations, tending towards the conclusion of a detinitt
treaty ttridCt the of spites Of . therive „!;citArti;, might. bring
a '.;:atisracthry arrangement. 'Lou requested nic at the 7atre t
to propose to the King, that his Plenipotentiaries in Londe,
should be furnished with the necessary powers and instruction
in order to discuss, conclude, and sign such a treaty.
s Majesty, who has not ceased to give proofs of his slac'',
wish to co-operate in an arrangement, and to secure, as far as k
can, the benefits of peace for his subjects, and for the whole.
Europe, and who is still animated with the same feelings,
l'Onseqtly anthorised me to furnish the said Plenipotential
with the pOwers and inWuctieins necessary to discuss, condo
and sigh wite, weir Ex( eliencies, a definitive treaty, the eVnd
of which will I, to settle the separation between Haan('
Belgium, ageording to the priheiples laird down in my despatch et,
the 12th cf July, and already' agreed upon betiVeeil the five COn'
and his Majesty. sciti
In obedience to the King's intentions, I am obliged tei,
that his Majesty has determined upon support ng the nege'nt
tions by his rnil.tary means—a determination which the rec,,,e
events in Belgium have rendered imperious, since we have that
a Prince putting himself in possession of the sovereignity ttlto
country, without h.A'ing previously fulfilled the conditions e'„i
Wished' by the Conference in the 12th and Ilith protocols, stio
taking an unrestricted oath to a constitution derogatory 10
territorial rights bf his Majesty and Of Holland. beis
As the plan of Cgtablishing
realised, there exists at the present moment only a cesSatie,4
hostilities. The Netherland Plenipotiaries have already, bY n'or
note of the 21st of May, declared that his Majesty could not s
jest his dominions to an indefinite prolongation of the PrOhe
sional state of things, and that, from the Ist of June nel,",
would consider himself at liberty either to co-operate in the lus,
sure to be adopted by the five Powers, in order to realise the ie
paration according to the appendix A of the 12th protocol, a,
act on his dwn account; and In the thanker which elrcumstati.,'„",
would seem to require, but always for the purpose only of arril7
at the state of things which the act of separation had ackhe
ledged to be just and convenient. ti
The sth of June Ow Netherland Plenipotentiaries tholigho
their duty to inquire what result had been obtained, in or„,
that the "King might take the measures requisite as well t,
his own dignity as for the security of Holland. By a r „ni,l
dated June 7, the conference informed them that it was
' sidering the measures that might be required by the tic
g, agements which the five Powers had contracted towards
King ; and lastly, by their note of the 22d of June, the Ile
",:j
potentiaries announced again that the King, firmly resolt;
not to give up any of the rights he had acquired by
ht
adhesion, would persist in the reservation with which 16,,
conferences had already become qualified respecting his it
operation in the measures the conference should think
to adopt ; and that when the representatives of the five COtw(s
at the Hague had expressed a wish that his Majesty might :pi
immediately avail himself of that reservation, a satiifactory,d
slyer had been given, but that they at the same time had 701
requested to declare that this answer rested upon a supPeseo
that the conferences would, on their part, proceed without
to the execution of the 12th protocol; and that if this suPPciPe
tion should not be realised, no alternative would be left tot`cii
,
King but to make use of his own means, and to abandon 3 the
of condescension which would no longer be compatible 10,6 :et,
safety of the State, nor with the interest of his faithful att.i, five
The very step just mentioned of the representatives of ci the
Courts at the Hague evidently shows that at that pert end
conference was convinced of the King's right to reco»lo'
hostilities.
Since the date of the diplomatic papers which I have 951:cap
new motives have arisen for strengthening the disposiff'oy
ready expressed in the name of his Majesty ; but whatece!, the
be the results, they will never produce the least alteration ),cel•
King's wishes for the success of the efforts which your order
lencies and his own Plenipotentiaries are about to make, in vlet
to conclude an arrangement for the final separation on pri,!",jo
conformable to the acknowledged rights of his Majesty a"
Holland.
