within cur power as old Spain is within

oociatinq between France and kcgland--
Z Let our ministers contemplate the proaab-
lity ofsuch a series of events as these So
after peace is made the Spanish monarchy
cedes to France its provinces adjoining the
Pyrenees; the monarch soon after ex.
changes his remaining par, to oae OF the
Bonapartes for Portugal, of which ac be-
comes king Spain takes number or the
French troops into pay, aud by degrees
seeds them out 70 Spanish America; SO
that in short time Mexico and Peru, will
be occupied by the soldiers of Marengo
and Aus.etlitz in such great numbers, so
well established il viii be in vain for En-
gland TO attempt dislodging them. France
will then be in possession of the most en-
tensiye, rich, and the best situated colonies
IN the world. To them our West India
possessions will fall an easy prey, aud they
will be so far on their road to the East
Indies, thar, considering the similarity or
climates too, ours in the East will be in
great danger OF formidable attacks from
roints, the movements IN which we can
know nothing OF till after the blow has been
struck.
In time of peace France will not stoop
to receive the produce 9th mines of Spa.

bottoms. Her own ships will visit Lima
and Mexico: the avarice and ambition Of
