I lish as the protectors of their revenues, while the
secret friends of Bonaparte, or of France, have P
fair chance to profit by the distracted state of their
minds, and the more so, as the Emperor of the
French, add his brother Joseph, are the only in.
wrested parties, front *bout, as yet, the South
Americans have only received fair promises, and
Uot the steeliest injury.
How far the Government of the United States,
end the French inhabitants of Louisiana, are
likely to second the views of Bonaparte, time will
soon shew.
Is it not then evident, that our impolitic connec-
tion with Spain has greedy complicated, and even
rendered problematical'-the execution of the long
projected emancipation of Spanish America, which
at the beginning of last year, might have been ef-
fected by a single act of oar Cabinet, without any
force being employed, or eny• cxpence incurred !
What compensation have we derived from Spain,
for the voluntary, and spontaneous renunciation
of the immediate profits and future advantages
which the independence of her Colonies must have
procured us ? A little, limited, and peecaritseit
trade with the mother country, and through heft
with the Colonies, in which, I am sure, many it
merchant will he ultimately ruined, and a promise,
not very likely to be realism!, of the delivery of the
Ferrol, Catlizraad Certhagena fleets to us, which
I neither built:ire the actual Spanish Rulers to have
:.he power, nor the will, holies up to the English :
their past conduct at Ferrol and Cadiz, evieent:y
proves, that if they dislike the French, they are
no great friends to us ; and if, as we have been
told, the Archbishop of Toledo is to he at the
head of the projected Regency, I wish the Public
to read iirer hisletter of the etti of May, 1808,
wherein this worthy Prelate recognizes the validity
of the renunciations of Charles and Ferdinand
and, in the most submissive terms, acknowledges
the authority of King Joseph.
I repeat it ouce more, and the - public will soon
judge of the truth of my predictions, that as soon
as the peace with A:lstria is known In Spain, sod
new reinforcemmits arrive, most, if not all, of thie
pres.:nt Spanish Patriotic Leaders will beeline owe
greatest enemies, both in Europe and tileAmerielle
In the mean time, ;. is very remarkable, that Ml`
the eve of final subject:on, Martin de Carey]
should be holding out to his countrymen lair prop.
pacts of distant intprovements in the Finance De-
partment*. This, after the formal abolii ion 01
feudal and operessive duties and privileges, which
was one of the first acts of Joseph Bonaparte whets
he entered Spain! ss
These mighty concessions of the most liberal
Jau'i in Seaiii, contrast, in a very striking Mei
ecr, with the attempts of its agents in Americas
who are oteeloying all their influence and power
to con iolida!•• there a system of the molt abomi.
nable oppresb;,,a over twenty millions of their fel.
low creatures, Whom they already considered as
their own property, having, for a moment, dreamt
that 'Bonaparte was crushed, and that they had in-
herited the Crown of Spain
If the unanimous voice of the People is at lest
listened to, we may still hope that a new Ministry
May profit by this advice, before it be too late ;
and however they may find themselves embarras-
sed by the false policy, neglect, and mismanage.
lhent of their predecessors, much may still be cf.
fected by pursuing a system directly contrary to
'theirs, and by a steady perseverance hi a li.•e of
conduct as profitable to us, as
eit is congenial with
the feelings and interests of every native of Spa.
Dish America, a recommendation that can seldom
.epply to the schemes of the politicians of the M.a-
ehiaveliati school, which, if they ever benefit one
country, it is only at the expellee of another.
