to you as the legitimate representative of the MeXi
nation. to congratulate you for the perseverance,

thus interfering in the domestic affairs of Mexico
and violating the national rights of the Mexicans.

However, the whole Belgian nation, except few
interested courtiers blame the conduct observed il
this instance. The Belgian people love freedom a
