Your Majesty's Servants, having taken into their most serious consideration the several Dispatches lately received from Berlin and the Hague, as well as the various Intelligence respecting the actual Situation of things in the Austrian Netherlands, humbly beg leave to submit the result of their opinion to your Majesty's consideration.
The main object which the Allies ought to pursue appears to be the preventing the result of the present Troubles in the Netherlands from raising up in that quarter a Power formidable to our system, which might arise to the Emperor, supposing that Prince to succeed in overturning the constitution, or to France, in case the Independence of the Provinces was established in any mode which should connect them with that Kingdom.
page 147 note 1 This minute has reference to the rising in the Austrian Netherlands against Joseph II. caused by his military reforms. The allies referred to are Holland, Prussia, and England, who had formed the Triple Alliance in 1788.
