Rid Yourselves

Lett. Relinquishmt Mode

1.
Assumption. Spaniards
satisfied that relinquishment
should be all-comprehensive:
remained
for consideration the mode.

2.
Considerations
I. Provinces – situations
1. Independent
2. Still subject
3. Contesting subjection.
II. Terms of relinquishment
1. Gratuitous-transfer to
the local authorities
2. Transfer proposed
for a price to do.
3. – to a foreign

4.
Independent is by
far the greatest portion
of territory and
population – not a
maravedi would by
any part of it be given.

5.
Not obtainable money,
obtainable good will
Good opinion included.
Good opinion you
may force by behaving
with kindness too
great and manifest
to be contested: good
will follow: at
least the best chance
for it. Good opinion in substance
you are assumed
to possess by the
relinquishment: remains
to encrease it
by the mode.

6.
Terms. 1. The more simple,
the more clearly,
correctly and compleatly
conceived, readily agreed
on, and faithfully kept.
Most simple, the most benevolent
and generous
peace, amity, equal intercourse.
Sole advantage exclusion
of inequalities prejudicial
to you. Positive in form and
expression, these conditions
are in substance
but negative. Adverseness
inequality, none: adverse
intercourse, interdicted,
friendly will be produced
by the cause mentioned
in Letter

7.
Further advice negative
2 Stipulate not for preforance
over foreign orations.
For 1. Such stipulation useless
Seen already the national
advantage you possess
over them: factitious wd.
but diminish the effect
To be on the footing of the
most favoured nation
would secure you those
advantages. Customary
is this stipulation.

8.
3. Pernicious by producing ill will
Evil effects of stipulation
for factitious advantage:
two ill-wishers
made: the nation
over which, and the
do. of which, it is required.

9.
Good 2. Profit none. No trade with
any nation, but in proportion
to encrease of
capital, do. included & obtained
on credit included of capital
no extra encrease
but by accession of foreigner's
capital, nor of
this so great without as
with the possessors of it. For
this all that can be
done ought to be done:
viz. placing them on the
footing of natives. Too
great is your propensity
to the opposite: it is
one of the many things
you have to unlearn.

10.
4. Pernicious by honour foregone.

11.
Communication mode
proposed.
Commissioners one or
more. One for each province is soonest
found and easiest paid
Greater number but for
special assigned ground.
So for all the pernicious except for dispatch.

11
For conveyance of them
all, shops necessary:
the more, the greater the
dispatch: the fewer, the
less the expence. This a
new sort of casting
voyage.
