our motto-Orange, the point Of union of
every one who is proud of the name of
Dutchman. We accomplish the views of
the allies, IN assuming the reins of govern

in the direction of ours to accomplish the

mont, we absolve all our countrymen from
the oath Of allegiance they have taken to the
Emperor Of France, and from this day we
consider as Rebels and Traitors towards
our National Government, all those whose
attachment or subserviency to France, NAV
induce them to dissent from our orders, or
those OF our Officers, Delegates, &c. or
those, who may hold correspondence or com
munication with our enemy.
! All connection, with our Oppressor, whose
contempt ard reproach, has caused the

shame, ceases from this day for ever. But
this is not enough
