LONDON. state PAPER. Declaration of the Princ? «f O-anjje, to the AfiemWy of their High Migbtineffcfc H,h an J ATgilj l*rk ■' THf. lta Cis r.ioll onjuitly attacked; th- - r " rUftryof thrfl.-iKwlity is invaded,ami the arm, ol ih. em my iMve ui-erpe4tedly met with, a .uc cels which migiit extend to the cities .luvir.g voices in the state, and the conlequences ot which niit'Ut be incalculable. Such. High and Mighty LorJi, are the dan gcrawhi.h either hatraf" us already, ° r " still inenatc u». It i» not my with to difkmble tl.em : I do not even wiih to flatter myfell that the bile. «e have already fuftai-ed will be the last. It is not I'orpr.fing that th s Republic ihould exp.neucc . r at checks at the of a war; but in the midst of these disasters me ricvates hcrfek, as if her losses awaken her ac li/iry, (upport her courage, and multiply h.r strength. As little as the dangers of the state fliculd be diff-mblei, so little ought her advantages and succours to be mifunderllood. The situation ot the country, interfered by rivers, canals, and holds out advantages capable of dilputing with thi enemy even were their successes (hit more conGderable. The fidelity of th<4 citizens their love for their country, js equally efficaci ous in a republican state. The troops of the republic are lull of courage, and burn with a z:.'al to try their strength in the defence of thsir altars and ft re Tides. The seamen are animated by the very f;iritthat has never failed so honor ably to diftinguiih the Dutch on an element which is natural t»them, and on which they have lb often coil founded the pride of their ene mies, I ou.fht finally to assure myfelf, that not pnly the allies of the state, but alio the formida ble powers, which equally with the republic, have but ene interest and one common triemy, will unite their efforts to ours to rep-1 from the frontieis of this republic violence ai d injufti-e, But high and mighty lords, I found my confi dence more especially in the sovereign arbiter of the world; who, out of nothing, has caused this country to attain its present strength, and who haspreferved it by miracle, and supported the arm of my courageous predeceflors. 1 his God is eternal. His all-puissance, his sagacity are equally so, and he is still desirous of supporting those who repose their trust in him Upon these foundations it is th it I declare, in the face of the whole universe, that far from be ing discouraged, I will watch till my last mo ment in the defence of the state ; and that, not withstanding a part of my poilefTions and do mains is already occupied by the enemy, what. Qontinues to be mine, as well my blood and my life, is still for the service of the state. Let the nation rouse itfelf—h*t it lorm an union with me against an enemy desirous of seizing on its liberty, its property and its inde pendence. I trust to be unceadngly found in the career of honor and the love of my country, and since I neither seek nor know no other grandeur than that of the country, I shall esteem myfelf happy, provided Heaven shall deign to direct and bless my efforts to that end.
