hut it did not exclude all navigation,
and left a sort of independence to
maritime nations. There was but
little inconvenience to the common
cause in the commerce kept up hj
' Holland with England ; either thro"
the agency of neutrals, or by borrow
ing their flag. Marseilles, Bordeaux,
and Antwerp, enjoyed the same ad
vantages. England had still to ma
nage the Americans, the Russians Si
the Prussians, the Swedes and the
Danes, and these nations formed a
sort of league between the powers
whom the seas separated
“ The fourth coalition destroyed
this state of things ; England suc
ceeded in uniting against France,
Russia, Prussia, and Sweden ; she

moment to that which is her perpetu- the principal entrepots, and the great

by the Society at liclfast, to in-
Struct as many as are desirous of
obtaining a knowledge ol an instru
ment which, independent of the
native beauty and excellence of its
music, nmr.t still be venerated.
The Harp was on the eve of breath
ing its last, its dying tones—as
there were hnt few persons left to
wake the sweet melody of its sacred
strings.—There is something pro
vidential in this attempt made to
revive it; we cannot help per
ceiving that the harp of erin is
under the care of Heaven, and
that though it may for a time be
condemned and neglected, it is
destined still to maintain a footing
in the world, and an honorable dis
tinction among the most favorite
ainuoemcnts of mankind.

“ The undersigned minister for
foreign relations for France, is charg
ed with making known to his Excel
lency Baron de Knell, the Dutch mi
nister of foreign affairs, the rcsoluti
ons which his Imperial majesty has
been forced to come to in conse

terms of peace. But this hope va
nished very soon. At the 9ame time
that they vanished, the English, as
if the expedition to Copenhagen had
deprived them of all sense of shame,
and set them free from all restraint,
disclosed their projects, and publish
ed their Orders in Council, of No
vember 1807, an arbitrary and ty
rannical act, which filled all Europe
with indignation. By this act Eng
land took upon her to make regulati
ons, oblige foreign vessels to come to
her harbors before they proceeded to
their ultimate destination, and to
pay her tribute. Thus she rendered
herself mistress of the navigation of
the whole world ; recognized no ma
ritime nation as independent,render-

no liberty of trade, tinless with a di

duce oi their territories, and declar
ed herself sovereign of the ocean, of
which she disposed as any govern
ment would do of the rivers in the
interior of its dominions.
“ Adverting to this plan of legis
lation, w hich was nothing else than
the public assertion of universal so
vereignty, a measure extending tht
jurisdiction of an English Parliament
aver the whole of the globe, the Em-
u-ror found himself under the neces
sity of taking an extreme part, and ol

world to bend under the yoke which
he English endeavored to imposi

On the other hand, the Emperor
observes, that Holland is destitute of
the means for carrying on war, and al
most without resources for her own
defence. She is without marine
the 16 vessels which she ought to
have furnished have been dismantled
she is without energy. During
the last expedition of the English,
the important position of Veere,
which was neither provisioned nor
armed, made no resistance ; and
the important post of Batz, upon
which might have depended the suc
cess of so many events, was abandon
ed six hours after the appearance of
the advanced guard of the enemy.
Without army, without revenues, it
might almost be said without friends
and without allies, the Dutch arc
society animated only by a regard to
their commercial interests, and form
ing a rich, useful, and respectable
company, but not a nation.
“ His majesty desires peaace with
England. He took steps at Tilsit with
a view to this object, but they were
without result. Those which he con
certed at Erfurth, with his ally the
Emperor of Russia, have had no bet
ter success. The war will there
fore be long, sinte all the steps ta
ken to arrive at peace have been
useless. The proposition even of
sending commissioners to Morlaix
to treat for the exchange of prisoners,
although called for bv England, re
mains without effect, because it was
feared it might lead to a reconcilia
tion. England, in arrogating by her
orders of November 1807,an univer
sal sovereignty, and in adopting the
principles of perpetual war, has bro
ken every thing, rendered legitimate
every means of repelling her preten
sions.

pies of England, which it will be easy
to discover from their speeches in
the new Parliament, and if she con
tinues to proclaim the principle of
perpetual war and of universal sove
reignty, in maintaining her Orders
of Council, in that case the under
signed is charged to declare to the
Dutch Ministry and nation, that the
present situation of Holland is in
compatible with the circumstances or
the situation in which the new princi
ples adopted by England have placed
the affairs of the Empire and the Con
tinent. In consequence his Imperial
Maj esty proposes—
“I. To recal home the Prince of
his blood whom he had placed on the
Throne of Holland. The first duty of
a French Prince placed in the line of
hereditary succession io the Imperial
Throne is towards that Throne.
When in opposition ro that, all others
