FRVICAMLN pusses* no longer either laws or
liberty, nor any good w hatever ; with streams of bloodshed,
by yourselves end your children, you hare been compelled to
enslave Europe. A family, not !Coach, reigns, through you,
over several European nohow, without the least bencht to
France, or any other people. Spain, your constant ally, Las
contributed, you know, by a variety of omens, to your
tiiumphs; and yet she has been despoiled of her laws, her
Min:arch, and her winless, her very itiigiou is threatened;
and all this has hitherto berm achieved, nut by gallahuy lied
valour, but by treachery and fraud, ia which you are foreed
to eu Operate ; roar valiant Aran ire defiled ; yuf are made
to ;mist in deeds of infamy, inconsistent arll, your generous
character, and with the name of " the great nation, w hub
you have acquired.

will •iis, and you should die with us to wipe oh the stain
which will otherwise indelibly disgrace your nation The
Spaniards tender you the just reward fur such au ; with
open anus w ell they orcerre you, and light by your side ; and
when the war shall be legitimated with that success, which
they have every reason to expect, land shall be given you,

ing days annum a nati.in which loves and respects you, mid

dm/ailed you of what you held must sacred? lot bun, who
kr droned you from your families and homes, robbed you
of
par property, your wives, your children, your native
Orm•b7, which be has ?Waved and will you tight against
• mition, generous like the Spanish, from whom you expo
✓issued the kindest recept ~,, 1, which loves you with the tru-
dges& attachment, and which, at the zenith of its glory and
dossisslide, ream cted your rights, because it looks upon all
men as brethroi. Will you light against a nation, which it is
'Molded to /Midst awl enslave, not by dint Of arms, as brave
men would do, but under the cloak of alliiCe and finaniship,
by fraudulent tromhery, detestable and horrid Iwy end any
pi-trident oi history, even among barbarous nations. We

lour, gen/Toady, and true honour. tVe tender the same re-
wards to you as to the french ; and, we trust, you suit your
