ore was no choke." He descants on the advaa.
tageg which, in the event of a maritime peace Hol-
land most derive from the new department which she
his acquired. He admits that there is a deficiency of
70 millions in the produce of the taxes of the two last
rats' compared with the expenditure. To reduce
this deficit, he looks to the operation of a sinking
fund ; the adoption of a definitive budget on the Ist
of January, 1810, .on an economical system, whether
peace be then concluded or not ; and a small loan,
to be the last until the sinking-fund begins to ope-
rate. Upon this topic he further says—,4 We have a
whole year before us to prepare this permanent bud.
,by the year 1810. We rely on the friendship of
trance, and our brother, the Emperor, to enable us
to persist is the plan of order and economy, which,
under the blessing of GOD, shall, on the return of
peace and the restoration of our commerce, completely
re-establish our prosperity. Our political system can
be no other than that of France. It is her true in-
terest to favour and protect, in every possible man-
er, even by some sacrifices, the independence, the
•cry, and commerce of a Continental State,
from its situation and government, is for ever
united with that empire, and which can be more use-
id to her in proportion as it becomes more happy
"a prosperous." He then enters into a minute state-
ment of the proposed financial arrangements, and
concludes with once more turning the hopes of his
people to the speedy restoration of a general peace,
and sll its concomitant blessings. He assures them,
that while he lives, their hationailaWs, customs, and
manners, shall be carefully respected and maintained;
ma that whatever difficulties may arise, he will never
consent to a national bankruptcy nor a conscription.
