the peace of Europe
The question of an interference in the internal
concerns OF Spain, account OF the troubles and dis
fractions which have for time p evaiIed in that
Kingdom, was not one which h1s Majesty could,
,1r himself, entertain moments hesitation. If his
MAJESTY plenipoteniiary AT Verona, did decline
taxing part IN the deliberations of tho allied cabinets
upon mar question, IL because his Majesty owed
W ns a'es, upon that as soon rs upon every other
sn'yect, sincere declaration OF his opinions and
because he hoped That friendly and unreserved
com nunicaiion might tend TO the preservation of
general peace

me Ming oil France 10 assemble army, within his
own tronueI upon the borders of Spain, had been

place IN the month Of September Iasi) did not appear
10 MS vi Jesty 10 imply more Than that the defensive
system, originally opposed to the contagion of phys-
cal Diseases would be continued against the possible
