Lett. 4. Under Code, profit none
1.
Per Letter 3, Code the
standard. Art. 1.8.339
from the Ultramaria no
money, but argument
against it. Per this
Letter, per Art 335, from
Ultramaria no money
without consent from
local authorities: which
if given will not
continue: inducement,
none: counter inducement
abundant.
2.
Per Art 335. Provincial
Deputation, members
per 325, 326 none:
functions ten. Function
1. Approbation of the
distribution made of
the contribution among
the townships.
No distribution, no
contribution made or
called for.
3.
By no man who regard's
Constituent's interests
will any such
distribution be concurred
in.
For per Art 346, any
part or the whole may
be demanded in and for
Spain.
4.
Of these 9, 7 are, per
Art 328, chosen by District

5.
Sickening the sight of
such dark complication,
through which nothing
can be seen clearly.
Thus much however is
seen, that on those from
whose pockets the money
comes, will in a great
degree depend its being
so sent to distant
strangers.
6.
True, of the 9 Members
2 are Governor and Intendant.
Governor per
Art. placed by King.
So Intendant probably
though not said by whom.
True as far as depends
on them, money as much
as possible will be sent:
except what is returned
for rewarding merit in
them and friends. But
of themselves 2. to 7. can
do nothing.
7.
True, submission of
inhabitants sure majority
of the deputation
confirming taxes indubitable:
cause, money disguised
or not by annexation
to office would suffice
to secure the three
four and five necessaries.
But submission even
to see the money levied,
is not probable: still
less to that and seeing
it sent to Spain.

8.
True, difficulty of convincing
Provincial Deputation
members, that the
existence of Ultramaria
depends on the money's
being sent out of it, not
greater than do. of do. English
Members, among
whom the 23 millions
annually levied are shared,
that the existence of
England depends upon
that quantity's being so
disposed of.
But in England, Constitutional
Code none – for
appropriate submission
habits and acknowledged
principles abundant.
Per Spanish Code, Art 1. 8 –
right of inhabitants of
both hemispheres equal.
Hence, say – Ultramaria
take from us what
you will: but give us
as much from Spain.
9.
Per Letter 3. per Article
8. equal rights: here,
per Article 339 in particular
equal contributions. Construction per
Governor and Intendant
one, per Inhabitants the
opposite: meantime, the
money stays.
