poißred my love and admiration—to lore the !spore and iodepen •

true Interpreters of the nation, now erperially, when lam con-
vinced that I may rely on your zeal, your attachment to the In.
tarns of your native land, and on your confidence in, and fidelity;
towards me.

" Gentlemen, this is the fir& day of the real independence at
the United Provinces. A tr./nit-tit glance at pail ages is fufficien t
to convince us, tbat they never had a ila'sle Government, a fired
deftiny, a real independence. Under that famous people, whom
they fought and raved by turns, as under the Franks and the Em-
pire of the Weft, they were neither (rye nor tramp". Neither
were they ft afterwards, when fuhje Red to Spate. Their vars.
and their repeated quarrels until the Union, added tothe glory oy
the nation, confirmed its qualities in point of franknefs, intrepidity
and honour, for which, Indeed, it had beet always celebrated a
but its efforts procured it neither tranquillity nor independence•
even under the Prior-not Orange, who, though they were leant
to their country, as (tidier. and hotelmen, were always dilturbing
it, by pretending, dr endeavouring to obtain a power which the
nation denied them. Nor could Holland be confidered in that
Rate in later times, when the elevation of ideas, and the genera;
agitation of Furope, fo long Depended the repofe of nations. After
fo many vicilLtudes, fo assets agitation, fo many calamities; and
at the time when the great hates were enlarging themfelves. am
liorating and concentrating their Governments and their forcer.
this country could enjoy no real (atm nor Independence but in a I
moderate monarchical hate; a form whieblad been acknowledged
during a long period, and by each nation in its turn, as the moil
perfed, and, if not abfolutely fo, yet as much to as the nature of
man will admit. But, doubilcfs, a perfection were the lot of hu-
manity, we might then difpenfe with a Government of this kind....
Laws would then be founded in wltdom, and obeyed without re..
illalOCC or °Dilute ; virtue would reign' triumphant, and tofu°
its own reward; vice would be banilbed, and wiekednefe rendered
impotent ; but Malone which favour fuch romantic Ideas of hu-
man nature see trotifient ; and experience loon brings us back to

politive fade. However, even monarchy la not fullicient for
Gauntry which, Omagh powerful and important, Is not fuffacightly
fo for its polizimt, which requires forces of the lira rank built by
land and Ira. It will, therefore, be neeeffary for it to form a on-
nedion with one of the great Powers of Europe, with which 14
amity may be eternally awed without any alteration of its iw
dependence.

This, Gentlemen, is what your nation has done ; this is the
objea of its coaftitutional laws, and alto that of my taking spots
me an employment f,s glorious; this is my °Meet in placing my.
. .

. .
Pelf in the midit of a people who are, and ever (ball be :nine, by
my tffedlion and my folicinde. With pride I perceive two of
the principal means of government and confidence offering than-
(elves to me; the honour and the virtue of the inhabitants.
•,yes, Gentlemen, there fhall be the real fupporters of dethrone
with for no other guides. For my part, I know no diftindtion•
of religion or party—Kiiilinetions cant:July arife from merit and ler-
vices. My de fign Is only to remedy the evils which the country hat
Coffered. The duration of thefe evils. and the difficulty in rem-
dying them, will only increafe and realife my glory•. To dred there
objeffis, I have occafion for the entire confidence of the nation, tbc4r
complete devotion, and all the talents of the dillinguilteci nit o
whom it contains, hut particularly of you, Gentlemen,
zeal, talents, and patriotifm are well known. I am at this mo-

mentappealing to the good apd faithful Hollandcra, before the
