The Dutch, it seems, under the auspices of the British ministry, are to be saddled with a monarchy.--This is restoring Holland to liberty with a vengeance! Pray let us hear no more of French tyranny. The hopes of Holland are nipped in the bud.
The Dutch hailed their "Sovereign Prince," as the restorer of the republican form of government; and he takes advantage of the generous enthusiasm of the people to cheat them of their rights. A king of Holland, manufactured by Lord Castlereagh, will be no thing more than a puppet for the British ministry. Talk no more, ye tories, of Bonaparte's making sovereigns to reign over nations fond of freedom!
