upon the subject OF Belgium, and in so do
ing ayoWed "A determination which will not
surprise those who recollect the unrcasoning
and uncomplymg obstinacy Of this Monarch
throughout the whole course Of the nrgotla-
TONS. He repudiAtes entirely the arrange
nents under which King Leopold has accep-
ted the throne Of Belgium. and expressly
/ throws down the gauntlet of war with that
kingdom. The King OF the Belgians, on the

lcitcd trust, binds himself in the most solemn
| manner 10 protect the INTEGRITY Of the Bel
J gian territory, while King " llliam, on the o.
! Their side of the Moordj k, pledges himself to
oppose to the last all suggestions, whether
! friendly or imperative, which would transfer

declaration Of war against himself
