PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF SPAIN AGAINST PORTUGAL. Since I happily concluded a peace with the French Republic, my principal care was to pro cure the fame advantage to other Powers, parti cularly thofe which were connected with me by the ties of blood. The Republic has been pleated to accept of my good offices for Tome, and my medi ation for others. Since that period I made many attempts to procure for P:4-tugal fuch an advan tageous peace as would place it in a flute of fecu rity. With this objet I looked only to the happi nefs of Portugal : my intention was to feparate it from England, to which, by its maritime fituation, it afforded great advantages, and by theft nicans l to force the latter, if poffible, to a peace, fo much wifhed for by all Europe, and which that Power alone oppofes. My reiterated advice, .employed to overcome the repugnance of the Portuguefe Court, influenced by that of London, was intend-' ed to induce it to enter into negotiations with the . Republic. Its Plenipotentiary figned at Paris, in 1797, a treaty more advantageous for it than the refpeetive fituations of the two Powers gave it rya fon to expeet. In the mean time, England, feting that it would fnatch from it one of the moll tifeful infirnments of its ambitious views, redoubled its efforts ; and, amusing the credulity of that Cabi net by chimerical ideas of aggrandifement, made it take the ftrange refolution of refufing to ratify that treaty, thus frullrating all my hopes, and, engaging language of paternal tendernefs and friend(hip, to induce its determination. The ob flinacy of Portugal (non obliged me to ufe a harlher language. I tried by rational advice, by me naces of my wrath, and by re:patable channels of expoilulation, to recall it to its duties. The Court of Portugal, however, deaf to all I could fay, only fought to gain time by vain promifes, feveral times fending Plenipotentiaries without powers, or with limited powers, and uling all thofe methods of delay, and all thofe fubtertuges, dic tated by a fallacious and verfatile policy. The blindnefs of the PRINCE REGENT has gone fo far as to name his Ally, the KING of GREAT 13KITAIN, in a letter which be addreffed to me, forgetful of what is due to the confanguinity which unites us ; to the refpeet that is due to me, and giving the name of alliance to what is no more than the ablife of that alcendancy which England has ar rogated over his country. Having thus exhaulted all the means of conciliation, after having perfect ly fatisfied all the claims of kindred and of attach ment to the PRINCE of PentroGAL ;* convinced of the inability of my endeavours ; feeing that the Pei- c FR?:cEar evaded the Royal Pr (anife which he In often made in favour of Peace, in various cirettm fiances, and in compliance to England, my enemy, abufed thofe promifes which I made to France, 1 have determined that a longer toleration on my part would be injurious to tl.e welfare of my peo ple, and my lubjefts attacked in their rights and , 1 property by an unjuil aggreffor ; that it would be forgetting the dignity of my rank towards a Prince who was willing to forego thrice ties of blood which conflated him with me ; that it would be a want of fidelity towards my Ally, the French Republic, st high fulpended its vengeance out of its regard to me ; and, in line, that it would he in oppolition to thofe principles of found policy which dire& my operations as a Sovereign. Neverthe lefs, before taking the painful refolution of war, I svithed to renew, for the lag time, my propoll tions to her MOST FAITKELL MAJFSTI. I have ordered my Ambalfador, the Duke de FRYAS, that, in refpet m delays of the ncgociations, he fhould explain to her the inconvenience and injuf tice of her conduct ; the abyfs which flue is threat ened to be involved hi, and the only means of efcapiug by the Treaty which France fill, on ac count of my mediations, has agreed to accept. The Court of Portugal antWered in the ufual man ner, and feat a Negotiator with inrufficient powers, at the fame time that it re:Jake] my propofitions. Thus, as it is of importance to the tranquility of all Europe to force that Power to make peace with France, and to fecure my dear fubjeas the remu neration to which they arc entitled, I have order ed my Amhafrador to quit Lilbon ; I have given a paffport to the Portuguefe Ambalrador at •my Court to depart, being decided, though with re gret, to attack that Power, to- the union of my forces with thofe of the Republic, whore caufe is become the fame by the imprudent mediation in which I engaged myfelf, by our connections in point 01 interet, and in order to avenge the par ticular infults that have been offered to me. For this purpofe, I declare war againfl her MOST FAITH r MAJESTY, her kingdom, and fubjeCts, within& this refolution to be known through all my fates, In order that all convenient meal - tires spay be taken for the defence of my Rates and my !hips, as alto to attack my enemies.
