MY Lonns—l have laid before my Sovereignthe
Letter which you were authorised by the Junta of the
Principality of Asturias to deliver to me, together
with the powers entrusted to you by the Junta, en-
treating, in their name, his Majesty's assistance. His
Majesty desired me to assure your Excellencies that
he feels the warmest interest in the resolution of the
Principality of Asturias, to sustain against the atroci-
ous usurper of Fiance a contest in favour of the inde-
pendence of the Spanish Monarchy. That his Ma-
jesty is disposed to grant. every kind of assistance to
efforts so magnanimous and praisewoithy.
44 His Majesty has, therefore, ordered me to declare,
that no time shall be lost in embarking for the port
of Gijon the succours that you require, as being the
most pressingly necessary ; he will besides send a
naval force, capable of protecting the coast of Astu-
rias against any attempt whieli France may make.
and of introducing troops by sea into the country._
His Majesty will make further efforts in support of so
just a cause.
" His Majesty has also ordered me to declare in
your Excellencies his readiness to extend the same
succours to every other part of the Spanish Monarchy
which may be animated by the same spirit with the in-
habitants of Asturias, as well as his Majesty's sincere
desire to renew those ties of friendship which subsisted
so long between the two nations, and to direct his
united efforts against any power which may evince
hostile intentions against Spain, as well as Great

.

Britain.
" I rnommend to yew ExcellencieS to communi-
cate, as soon as possible, to the Junta, the manlier in
which his Majesty has received the proposals transmit-
ted by your Excellencies. A vessel has been got ready
at Portsmouth, to carry any person you may think
proper to dispatch.
" I beg youilliltseellencies to *wee* the assurances
of my high consideration.
