We have been ready and are still ready to execute the treaty of Xanten.

The Archduke is the cause of the dispute concerning the act.

We approved the formularies of their Majesties, and have changed them three times to suit the King of Great Britain.

Our Provincial States have been notified in the matter, so that we can no longer digest the Spanish impudence, and are amazed that his Majesty can listen any more to the Spanish ministers.

We fear that those ministers are working through many hands, in order by one means or another to excite quarrels between his Majesty, us, and the respective inhabitants of the two countries.
