Very favourable sentirnentsipwards any of the Bvo-
NAPARTE family; it is, however, but justice to ac
knowledge," that the conduct of Lotus, during the
whole time that he was on the Throne of Holland,
and the manly spirit which he has, rettently displq-
ed, entitle him to respect,' and even to esteem.
With regard to the conduct. of BUONAEARTE' upon
this occasion, it really has surprised us... We were
not absurd enough to ,suppose that he, would for a
moment hesitate atany aet of cruelty, injustice, or.
oppression, when his interest; his ambition, or his
. „
revenge was concdrned ; but such an act of useless
treachery, such. a display of gratuitous insult, as he
has lately been guilty of toWards.tbe people of Hol-
land, we never before witnessed, even in' his Aro,
cious career. His treatment of the Royal Family
and of the people of Spain, was, it is true, marked
with the most-detestable fraud and i:Justice, btit then,
that family were
,Boottpcncs, and he wished to gra-
tify his ambition and promote his interest by placing
his brother on.the Spanish Throne. Bet in the pre-
sent instance, he has not even that apology to
for Holland Was,--to'all intents and purposes, a Pro-
Vince.of
.FranCe ; her army was at the disposal of
France; .the whOle of her coast had been ceded to

France; her. principal fortre,ses-were in the posses-
sion of Fiench troops ; and the brother of BUONA.,
PARTE-WAS seated on. the Throne of Holland:; so that
it is almost impossible to discover any rational objet
which the Tyrant could have for Ilk Condt.i6t. The
iinfortianate Louts states, that having signed a Treaty,
every line- of which .13UONAPARTE.-bad himself

tated, he was justified in supposing that there would be
nothing further to demaed ; but it appears that even
he did, not know his brothel's character. He did
not think that, 'within a few months after he signed
a Treaty, drawn up BUONAPARTE hithself,,in which
a considerable portion of the Dutch territories were
ceded, in order to preserve the nominal independ-
ence of the remainder, that BUONAPAR. TE .would as-
sign that very Treaty as a 'reason why that nominal
independence, which he had granted to Holland,'
should no longer exist. It is indeed worthy of
observation, that all the reasons which' Buo-
NAPARTk has . assigned for annexing Holland to
France • are drawn from his own tyrannical
conduct to that unfortunate country. He ;,say's,
". Holland can no longer, remain independent,
because..she is forced to take a part in the
quarrels of France." Forced—by whom ?By Buo-.
NAE)ARTE ; by the very man who assigns that as a
reason for his atrocious injustice. Holland would,
if,she were permitted, gladly withdraw herself from
the quarrels of France, and make peace with 'Eng-
land ; but BUONAPARTE forces her to continne the
war, and then urges her submission as a justification
for further. oppression ; he
,also says, that Holland
has no commerce; and in the face 'of the world he
states that as one of his reasons for annexing Hol-
land to France. WhO was it destroyed the com-
merce of Holland ? Who was it that, by his arbi,
trary and capricious commercial regulations, re-
duced the people of Holland to beggary, and
drove his own brother. from the throne, because
he endeavoured to preserve to, his subjeets.sorne
small remains of their trade ? Why, the' very
man who now, states, that • her want of , com-
merce is a reason why Holland should cease to
exist as a nation. The same observations apply
to another of the reasons which he erges, viz. that
Holland is sinking, tinder her debt, and her inpome
is not equal to, her ;expenditure. Flow was the
debt of Holland incurred ? Not to promote the
interests of Holland, but to comply with the rapa-
cious exactions of BITONAPAKM who multiplied his
demands upon't hat unhappy country, exactly in pro-
portion as he dimitilshed her resources. It is, how-
ever, impoSsible to describe the conduct of
more accurately, or in stronger colours,
than Louis has dene in his Address to the Legis-
lativeßody: We hope that notwithstanding.all the
precautions of the Tyrant, that interesting-Document
will 'be circulated over the Continent, and if the
people of EurbPe- are not sunk into the most slavish
apathy; it must make a deep impression upon them.
The Spaniards, it is true, want no arguments draWti-
from 13UONAP ARTE'S COOcitl& to other_ nations, to
stimulate them to a glorions resistance ; but even they •
may find, in 'his treatment. of Holland, additional
reasons to induce them to persevere in the noble
contest in which they are engaged. There is one
part of his Address in which Louis appears
to have been mistaken : he says, speaking of.his
Wife, " she will do every thing that shall
be agreeable to' the Emperor and will succeed better
than mysilf." This prediction has not been veri•
fied. BUONAPARTE has deprived hers of the Regency
with as little ceremony as he did Louis of his Throne.
It is said that she died suddenly, while taking.the
waters.at Plombieres; whether this report be well
founded or not we do not know, but we think it
highly. probable that poor Louis will fall a victim to
his brother's vengeance.

We have received some more Dutch Papers, from
which we have extracted some orders which 800-
