Don Masuel was certainly the secret G.
nemy of che French sstion aud Of Napo
lsos. His reluetasee in aeeedisx to Bona.
parse 's8giews was manifested BY the repug'
nance he displayed for the iayasion Of Por,
,ugal. The great commerce which Great
Britain esrrisd on with the Spanish ssaii'
neat, add with the colonies ia America &
the vast sums which the prinee of peace
had deposited 10 the bank Of England
plainly prove the accusation bro't against
him, of snjnseu,ioo to give up the Spanish
Reet 20 the Eoglish, whe BY transporting
the Spanish throae to America, would be.
come possessed of the exclusive commerce
of the two worlds.
Spain, which under Philip the II, was rich.
er than all the rest of Europe, and was the
terror of England, has been reduced by this
ambitious minister, to the most degrading ST.
tuation They are cut off from communica-
ton with their colonies, and it is impossible
for them 10 obtain their formerusual supplies
from the rich and valuable mines Of South
America.
The English papers have for long time
been prophecylng that a dreadful revolution
was about to take place in Spain; but they
little suspected the result would have been as
it has happened. England and France both
covet the valuable dominions of theSpaniards,
and have cxerted every policy to possess, or to
profit by them.
fit is true that the prince OF peace, was
attached to the interest of Great Britain,
Bonaparte must have had notice of his designs
and his manuvres demonstrate, that he had
intimation of his motives. The best of the
Spanish troops were sent into Poland, and are
now operating against Sweden another ar
ny was destined for Gibraltar whilst numc-
Tsus French troops have ovcrrua the Spanish
territory, under pretencc OF invading Portu
gal Their fleets at Cadiz and Ferrol, are
all intermixetl. These strokes of policy
must have beeen intended for the purpose of
keeping strict obseryatisn upon their con-
duct, and TO secure them IN case Of emergen-
Cy.
The usual good fortune of Bonaparte APP
pears TO have again accompanied him in
his views upon Spun Fit had failed the
consequences would have been of a serious
nature to him. IF he had been deprived
of his laval force at Carthcsena, which it ai,
pears, has been joined VITA the Roehefort
squadron his Mediterranean expeditions
would nave Filled; which occurrence would
have made considerable alteration in his af-
fairs
