talk of delivering thefe provinces
from the degrading tyranny oi the
French republic, is charged to make
a public and explicit declaration of
the fentiments and intentions of his
majelty, and of the augu ft fovereigns
with whom he is allied in this great
Work'.
44 He declares then that he and
his army come not as enemies, but
as friends to the provinces of Hol
land ; to rcilore them to their rights,
and ancient laws and enftoms ; to
refcue their pcrfons and properties
from theopprelh'ons to which they
have been fubjetled : to re.eftabliih
their rcliiiion. which has been vio-
e w -
latcd by the infidelity and atheifm of
France ; to revive their trade and
commerce, which has been annihi
lated ; their lrgitimate government,
W'Ucn has been overthrown ; and
to reftore that happy concord and
allance between Great-Britain
rd Holland, which hat been the
lourccoffo much benefit to both.
