POTTER United Families

“Noble and Powerful Lords” did Louis say for a (humoristic)
start… For the brave rebels, it was too much ! Personal letters of
Louis to his wife and children were seized and published by the
Court!
In his ongoing heavy journalism works, from the bottom of his
prison, Louis began by recognizing that the ministry of William had
been disturbed by the lack of confidence the Belgian people had in
the Dutch government. At the same time, he leveraged action on an
increasingly unified opposition of the Catholics and Liberals of
Belgium… He thought that this discontent was not surprising, that
the Belgians had been remarkably patient for the fifteen years that the
Dutch had abused them. He said that the union of the Catholics and
Liberals had been caused by the government, and the government
could make the opposition cease, if it wished to.
By April 4, 1829, Louis had finished his first pamphlet written inside
the prison Petits-Carmes. It was entitled: “Report by the Ministerial,
Friend of his Homeland and less attached to his Remuneration by the
King of the Netherlands than to the Situation of the Intellect of
Things in Belgium.” Now that was quite a title !
