approach to war between the United

if they come to blows with Old Spain.
For, as such a warfare cannot but tc

and second the views of their neighbors
and allies in every way possible. The
sharing the produce, of the mines OF Mex

United States of America all that rational
men in state of polished society can
wish for. 1t is now almost certainty
that the beloved Ferdinand has set hrs
