FROM the moment that Hostilities had cot• menced between Great Britain and France, a sufh• cient ground of War against Spain, on the part of Great Britain, necessarily followed from the Treaty of St. Ildephonso, if not disclaimed by Spain. That Treaty, in fa6.l, identified Spain with till Republican Government of France, by a virtual acknowledgment of unqualified vassalage,. and by specific stipulations of unconditional offence. By the articles of that Treaty, Spain covenanted to furnish a stated contingent of Naval and Mi litary Force, for the prosecution of any War itt /which the French Republic might think proper 1 ° engage. She specifically surrendered any right or pretension to inquire into the nature, origin, a justice of that War. She stipulated, in the firir instance, a contingent of Troops and Ships, which: of itself, comprised no moderate proportion of the means at her disposal ;hut in the event of this c° 3 . tingent being at any time found insufficient for 016 rurposes of France, she further bound herself to put into a state of aaivity the utmost Force, both ' by sea and land, that it,should be in her power to culled. She covenanted that this Force should 10 at thedisposal of France, to be employed conjointly' or,separately for the annoyance of the Comr o ", Enemy ; thus submitting ber entire Power and Re" sources to be used as the instruments of French 3111 ; bition:and aggression, and tobr e 'applied, in whaterr • proportion France might think proper, for the wo w ' ed purpose of endeavouring to subvert the gove rn. meat, and destroy the National Existence of Greg Britzin. The charafter of such a Treaty gave Great Bri• taro an incontestible right to declare to Spain, tha t unless she decidedly renounced the Treaty, or go assurances that she would not perforni the obligati ol9 of it, she would not be considered as a Neut (4/ Power. This right, however,. f or pru d ent i a l reasons en d from motives of forbearance and tenderness toWald i Spain, was not exercised in its full extent; andtt p consequence of assurances of a pacific dispositi°° the part of the Spanish Government, His Mail did not, in th e first instance, insist on a distin B 4n formal renunciation of the Treaty. It does "I appear that any express, demand of succour 1 13 been made by France before the month of Pill one thousand tight hundred rind three ; and on the first notification of the War, His Majesty's M l 4 fluster at Madrid Was led to believe, in conseqw'n! l ofeoMmunications which 'passed between him anti 0, Spanish Government, that His Catholic : N 44511 did not consider.hirnsrlf as necessarily bound h/ mere ha of the existence of a War between Greta sritairi and France, without subsequent explanatio it and disitttsion, to fulfil the stipulations of the Troll of St.lldephonso, though the Articles of that 'lraq would certainly give rise to - a very different inter' Pretation. In the ono* of Qao'be t . a conventO ° was signed,by Which Spirt agreed to pay to FrancC s certain'autn monthly in lieu of the Naval and Mil l ' Lary Succottil which they had stipulated by the "' Peaty to provide, but of the amount of this s ' ll° ' or of the nature of any other stipulations which 64t Convention might contain, no official information whatever was given. It Was i?nmediately stated by His Mities.o l . l4 MI ; oister'at Madrid to t h e Spanish Government,. a Subsidy as large as that which they were suPP °544 ,l to have engaged to pay to France far exce edev the bounds of forbearance ; that it could ugly 01 ' 14 with a temporary connivance, as, if it it' 39 tinued, it might prove in fad a greater injury d l3 " any other hostility. In reply to t h ese ref -6 0 ,14(0'0th it was represented as ari.miedient to gain time a assurances were given, which were confirmed circumstances which came to His Majesty' i kn nW- i ledge from other quarters, that the disposition ° the Spanish Government would induce them to e3g# tricate themselves front this engagement, ) 1 ' th e course of e vents s h ould admit of their doing so with safety, When His MAJESTY had first reason to beliefs that such ,a Convention was concluded, he his Minister at Madrid to declare that , his I `,", bearing to c ons id er S pain as an EneroY depend in some degree upo n t h e amou nt Of SUccours, and upon her maintaining a p erf i c' t Neutrality i n a ll other respects ; b u r t n • .
