Therefore, this solicitude to avoid any thing like poi&

to be ascribed to any love of liberty and justice that la

incapacity for making even preparations for war. The
Holy geotlemen are not ignorant of the true ground of
objection with eurrgovernment ; but they would net
think it safe to vesture upon an invasion of Spas In the
teeth of the remonstrances of sur government feed that
government, we repeat, cannot go to war; and it could
not remain perfectly neutral if Spain were invaded by

tic revolution. We went to war in 1793 in order to
prevent the success of a democratic Fantail., in Frost%

years we fled jest such another revolution ping ms
Spain. All the arguments for invading Spain, in *Met
