the truce, but omitted an acknowledgment of their independence.
The States-General, on the 9th and 1 ith of August,

substance and in form." The Archduke promised to

contained in it, but offered to proceed on the footing
of the declaration, provided the States should be
firmly assured that nothing would be proposed either
