NC "oSt pressing OBJECT o. SCiiSitudc with
your majesty is the war against England.--
England announces, that she viii not come
to any accommodation. All the overtures
OF your majesty have been rejected or neg
iected. The inability to continue the
war VIII alone induce England to make
peace The war against her. therefore
cannot be carried on with too much vigor--
SPAN possesses maritime advantages which
are lost to her and to France. 1t is necessa-
~ that a good government should give them
activity, improve them by iuGiciou, or
Saniz:ton, & that your majesty should direct
them against the common enemy, TO arrive
AZ length At peace, Which humanity cails for,
ana OF which all Europe stands So rmuch IN
need The interests OF France and those
or continental E.nropc, witt not ALLOW ycur
majesty to neglect the only means by w.ich
the war against Eaglanl can be carried on
with success.
The present situation Of Spain compro-
misses the security OF France, and thc fate
OF the war against England that couns~y.

The French ministers in Spain have lost
their ancient privileges, the laws OF the
customs were directed chiefly against
French Commerce, and were remarkable.
Tor their arbitrary and pei petual variation
hese variations could not be knqwn mn
publicity was given to them. 1t was oa., at
the Custom-housc that it was learnt hat
the law of one day was not the law cf the
next. IeTchandize, coniiscatcd often with
out any preteXt, was not restored All the
applications made by, or on behalf OF the
French, were rejected. Whilst Spain was
! thus making war in detail upon the French
ard their commerce, all her ports, and
chiefly those OF the Gulph of Gasconv were
open to Euglish commerce. The law OF
o'uc!,.ao Prc-i-iT;cc ~ -p-;r similar to-
tiat OF France, was only rendered the means
OF t&Vol'in6 still more the contraI,and trade
OF England, the merchandise OF which was
