Rid Yourselves &c

§. 2. Creoles willing.

1.
Difficult to separate in
discussion present from
future.
Strictly, present is but
a period point: but say 2 1/2
years: 1/2 year for hearing
the result: add 2. years –
the duration of a Cortes.

2.
At the end of this period,
I say, net profit, none.

3. For proof, see Introductory §.
1. Disbursements produced
by the Union.

4.
For these in the rough,
see Introduction (§. 6.)
For corrections, ask your
Rulers.

5.
Source of the demand for
these disbursements: per
supposition, actual defence of
Ultramaria against its
inhabitants forms during the
2 1/2. years, forms no part
of it.
But, the supposition going
no further, during these
2 1/2. years provision must
then be made for such eventual
defence afterwards.

6.
During these 2 1/2. years,
though not against its
inhabitants, Ultramaria
will be to be defended
against eventual enmity
of its neighbours.
1. Savage or barbarous.
2. Civilized: viz
1. England.
2. France.
3. Portugal
4. Netherlands.
True, against U.S.,
you are saved by their
long-suffering, without
need of means of defence.

If for encrease of their own
or power, the Members
of the Executive proposed carried
that of the Legislation in
it were England then could be turned out with infamy." Honour and Glory could not be received in names.

§. 2. Creoles willing.

7.
For satisfying this demand
for means of defence,
you have nothing.
See Cortes accounts.

8.
Not that, Ultramaria
out of the question, you
are insecurie.
By land, you can be
assailed but from one
quarter, France. From
France, you are secure
by its comparative frugality and memory remembrance
of your Guerillas, and
the impatience of the people
under an ill-disposed a scarce despotism
forced upon them by their conquerers.

9.
By sea, your are, for
an indefinitely long time
secure, against the sole
oppressor, England, by
financial impotence:
secure against her, so
are you against all that
she opposes – secure by
her exclusive privilege.

10.
This admitted, sole
source of demand for
creation and outfit of Navy
is Ultramaria.

11.
2. Per contra, receipt
from Ultramaria during
the 2 1/2 years is
what? Under Code, none
is perceptible. See below.

12.
True, by supposition,
general desire to submit
is universal – solemnities
accordant.
But by these, no actual
contribution is given.

13.
Follows, an account of
all the sources from which
any contribution, in
of taxes on Spain, can
have been looked for.

§. 2. Creoles willing.

14.
Of Spain, sole strength
is in the Guerillas:
Money, (sinews of external war)
none.
Of weakness, not strength,
is Ultramaria the source.
