The Council of the town of Leyden have passed a resolution to charge the Deputies to the States of Holland, to vote for the absolute suspension of William V. from his offices, of which he had proved himself so unworthy; to retain all his appointments, and not to contribute any instance whatsoever to the Generality. The other towns, which form the majority of the States of Holland, have already passed or are just about to pass, similar resolutions.
So that we may soon expect to see Holland obliged to dissolve the Union, and form an independent Republic, if William V. persists in destroying civil liberty.
