Rid yourselves of Ultramaria

§.7. J. B.s opinion with Reasons,
applied to France, and
distant dependencies in
general. A.o 1792.
1.
1. This introduction concludes
with more particular
reference to my opinion,
applied directly to
France only A.o 1792.
Title, J. B. to National
Convention of France
p.p. 48. 8 v.o Better title the
first words of it — Emancipate
your Colonies.
Printed Jan. 7 1793: never
sold: Copies in various
hands: one sent to Cortes:
others at Madrid in private
hand.
2.
Even then, I was not unknown
in France.
But this would be a
digression.
3.
2. In Peines and Recompences,
edited by Dumont
1802, in Vol. II. is a chapter
on Colonies. Matter
for the pamphlet of 1793.
Reasoning applying alike
to all distant dependencies.
England's not excepted.
4.
In works of others, opinions
to this effect can
not but have had place:
in none, has the general
question been argued in
form: as in mine.
5.
To return to Spain.
Produce loss then, what
now? The enquiry is in
your hands.

§.6. Tables. Grounds of
the opinions.
Table 1 (a.)
1. Townsends explanation
of these vast differences —
amounts large, revenue
gross: amounts small,
revenue net. Net, what
came into Spanish treasury:
the rest expended
where collected.
2.
This while insisting
that Colonies yield no Revenue
to Spain, yet stating
as yielding 39,899,918
on average of 10 years
ending 1778; and 60,000,000
on average of 5 years,
ending 1785.
Hence his general assertion
included Spanish
expenditure on this account
in Spain: deduct
net amount received
in Spain from Spanish
America, balance, 0.
Table III (a)
Inferences. In Class 1, titles
from objects of comparison
for present expenditure.
Can any be
struck off? do any require
to be added?.
2. So as to sums.
3. Giving reasons.
4. So as to Classes 2. 3 & 4.
5. Shown by Class 2. Monarchical
as contrasted with
Republican Expenditure.
128,000,000 with 600,000.
6. Spaniards, what would
they suffer were these articles
struck off: Anglo
American, what
were they added?
7. So as to the other European
Monarchies: particularly
France & England.

Table III (a) contin.o
8. So as to minor d.o to
swell this expenditure
promoted into Kingdoms.
9. This could not be otherwise.
In all Monarchies,
principle acted on,
end of Society, welfare
of one: in Spain, principle
lately professed (Art 13.)
welfare of all:
how far practice accords
will soon be
seen.
