meantime, is that the kirg m
Holland, and hi* offspring keen
the dignitv of Cunst'daie (and the
Empire. Our deteimi tatioo, in
this east: lias appeared to us con
formable to the ’ interests of our
people. In a military phint of
view, Holland,-possessing all the*
strong places that guarantee our
northern frontier, it was neces
sary for the security m our states,
that the'guardianship should re
poi'c in persons, ofavlrose attach
ment we could entertain no
doubt. In a commercial point of
view, lihiiand, being situated at
the mouth of great rivers, which
water a'considerable part °f ,H:r
it was necessary that
we sftould have the guaraiiti e ol
the faithful execution Oi the
commercial treaty which vve have
concluded with her, m order to
concilitatc the h,tetest of cur
nianufactures and commerce with
liiat cf these nations. In tine,
Floliand is the fsrat political inter
est of Franee. An elective ma
gistracy would have had the in
tonvennnee of frequently deliv
ering the couturv to tii intriguer
iA our enemies and each election
would-have become the signal ot a
new war.
Ptmce Louis, not being ani
mated by any personal ambition
has given a proof of the Uv • he
has fur us, and his esteem for the
people of Holland, by accepting
a throne which imposes on him
so many great obligations.
The arch-chanci l! r, r of the
