The British Governraent h*se.no desire to anticiptte

Europe. But•the Court of Niadrid must be aware,that
the discretion of. his •Maje,ty in thisl-espect cane' t he
indefinitely bound.up by tlrat of his Catholic Maievv;
and that even before many m 'nibsi:.l:l-.e, the 4e,iie

She conclusion, through anegotiotion avant!: bais, T
an arrangement, by which the mother country F:xyli,i
secured in the enjoyment of commercial advaataati
superior to those conceded to other-nations.
•For herself, Gi eat Britain asks uo exclusive privileges

of. commerce for all. .
If. Spain shall determine to persevere in other con.-
eels, it cannot but be. expected thatlireat Britain most
take her own coarse upon this matter, when the time
for taking it shall arrive; of which 'Spain shall hare
full and early intimation. _

Nothing that is'here stated can occasion to the iSpa-
nisli Government any surprise.
In my dispatch to Sir Charles S:uart of the gist of
March, 1.823, which was communicate-1 to the Spa ~i,it
Government, the opinion was distinctly expies,ed, that
" time and the course of eventshad subt.oltialiy de-
cided the separation:of the Colonies Irons the mother
country ; although•the formal recognition of tlirre pro-
vinces, as independent Stites, by his • Majesty, 'night
he hastened or -retarded -by various external circian-
stances, -as.well.as by the more at less satisial:tory pro-
gress, in each State, towards airsvular and sett led form
of Government." ' :* !;- - .* •
At a'subsequent.period,..iriVcrammtinicati- rig made,
in the first instance to Fraece, end afterwards to other
Powers 1., as well as to Spain; the same opinions were
repeated ; with this.specifie addition, that in either of
two cases (now-happily not likely to occur), in that of
any attempt on the part of Spain to revive the hsolete
interdiction of intercourse with coantiies over which
She has no longer any actual dominion ; or in that of
•the employment of foreign assistance to re-estahla
her dominion in those countries by •lorce of arms; the
recognition of such new States by his Majesty would
be decidei and immediate.
After thus declaring to you, for the information of
:the Court of Madrid, the deliberate opinion thel3re-
lish Government on die points on which Spain requires
the advice.of-her Allies, it does not appear to the Bri-
lish Cabinet at all necessary to go-into a • conference, to
declare that opinion anew ; even if ir 'vete perfectly
clear, from the tenour of M. Ofal;a's instruction, that
Great Britain is in fact included in the invitation to the
conference at Paris.

Every one of the Powers so invited has been con.
stantly and unreservedly apprised, not only of each step
which the British Government has taken, but of every
opinion which it has formed on this subject; and this
dispatch will be communicated to them all. •
If those Powers should sevetally come to the same
conclusion with Great Britain, the concurrent ex,aes-
.sioti.of their several opinions cannot have ie>s %%eight
in thejtidgment of Spain, and must naturally he ruiyc
acceptable to her feelings, than, if such cowl:rt.:lice,
being the result of a conference of five ['owe's, SIIO.III
.carry- the appearance of 'a concerted dictation.
If (unhappily, as we, think) the Allies, or any of thcm
should come 0 a eliffrres.si cOnclusion, welkin at
have avoided the inconvenience of a discussion, by ‘‘lich
•our own opinion could riot hive been clnioekt ; we
shall have avoided an appearance of mystery, 1)
the jealouiy of other•Fiarties might have been excited;
we shall have avoided edelay, which the state of the
imestion mayhardly allow..
Meanwhile,. this explicit recapitulation of the ,hole
course a our sentiments aid of our procee,iliap on this
intinAittotti subject; must at once acquit u. of any in-
disposition to answer the call of Spiin for ft iendly dotin-
!el, and-Proiet us against the suspicion of liaviitg any
purpose to conceal from Spain or from the world:
