Excerpt from Quinze Ans de Séjour à Java Et dans les Principales Îles de l'Archipel de la Sonde Et des Possessions Néerlandaises des Indes Orientales: Souvenirs d'un Ancien Officier de la Garde Royale
Nous partîmes donc dès le lendemain, et quel ques jours après nous passions la frontière. Nous nous installâmes d'abord à Bruxelles; mais il n'y avait pas encore deux mois que nous habitions cette 'ville, que la révolution y éclata à son tour. Allons, me dit mon père, la révolution semble avoir pris à tâche de nous poursuivre; mais celle-ci est encore moins sérieuse que celle de Paris. Les Belges ont voulu faire une contrefaçon, selon leur habitude; le prince d'orange les aura bientôt mis à la raison. En attendant, nous allons nous retirer à la Haye, car je ne me soucie pas de me trouver au milieu de ce gâchis.
