We cannot hand over the long-oppressed Flemish nation to be made French, but we will assure it sound development on the basis of the mother tongue and characteristics in the same manner; Poland, which the Cossacks burnt and pillaged shall not be allowed to exist longer, neither shall we give up the regions in the west where German blood has been shed without a complete guarantee as to our future."
