"The States of Holland were not long determining on the answer proper to be given by them, relative to the Memorial delivered to their Assembly by the Baron de Thulemeyer. The answer, made by a majority of votes, contains in substance, That the States are very far from having had any intention to be wanting in the respect and regard due to the sister of his Prussian Majesty: but that motives grounded on the preservation of the public tranquillity, had not permitted that her Royal Highness, should be allowed to advance further in the Province, until there should be no more reason to fear for the tranquillity of the city: That they could not conceive in what sense the name of an attempt could be given to that event, and still less how it could be required that they should punish their Commissioners for an affair which their duty, and the support of the dignity of the Sovereign Assembly, had required they should approve. This answer was sent directly to Berlin."

The States of Holland determined their response to the Memorial delivered by Baron de Thulemeyer. The majority vote response stated they had no intention of disrespecting the sister of the Prussian Majesty but preserved public tranquility by not allowing her to advance further in the Province until the city's tranquility was secure. They denied calling the event an 'attempt' and refused to punish their Commissioners, as duty and the dignity of the Sovereign Assembly required approval of their actions.
