The leading features in this constitution, are the guarantee of the
payment of the national debt; the free and unqualified exercise of
religion; the predominant authority vested in the king; the
establishment of the salique law, for ever excluding females from the
throne; the declaration that the minority of any future king shall
expire upon his attaining his eighteenth year; that only natives shall
be eligible to any offices under the state, exclusive of those
immediately appertaining to the king’s household; that the yearly
revenue of the king shall be two millions of florins, and that the royal
residences shall be the palaces of the Hague, in the Wood, and at
Soestdyke.

As a few months have only rolled away since the promulgation of this
constitution, it would be somewhat hasty to offer any objections to it:
it must be left to time to ascertain how far it is adapted to the genius
and resources, and propitious to the prosperity of the people.




                              CHAPTER IX.
GRAND ENTRY OF KING AND QUEEN INTO HOLLAND ... OPENING OF THE MEETING OF
  THEIR HIGH MIGHTINESSES ... ANECDOTE OF ROYAL ECONOMY ... THE HAGUE
   DESCRIBED ... LADY W. MONTAGU’S REMARKS REBUTTED ... PRETTY FEMALE
 FACES ... A DUTCH NURSERY ... DUTCH MODE OF INCREASING ANIMAL HEAT ...
 THE WOOD ... ITS SANCTITY ... THE PALACE FORMERLY CALLED THE HOUSE IN

   HABITS OF THE ORANGE FAMILY ... CHARMING JAUNT TO SCHEVELING ... A
                       MARINE HOTEL ... MR. FOX.


Soon after the promulgation of the constitution, the King and Queen set
off from Paris to take possession of their new kingdom, and on the 23d
of June following made their solemn entry into the Hague: they left the
palace in the Wood in the following order; a herald at arms, his
majesty’s horse guards, the guard of honour, the council of state in
three coaches, the admirals in one coach, the ministers in two coaches,
the great officers of the crown in one coach, their majesties in one
coach, the generals in two coaches: the ladies and officers of the royal
household in one coach, followed by aids-de-camp and other officers, and
the whole procession closed by detachments of hussars and dragoons.
