1828 Decr 9 11
J.B. to Blaquiere

In a long letter which I thereupon had written to
I informed him that my offer to occupy myself about that
business depended upon a condition, as might be seen in
my letter to Mora: and that the condition was – that a
letter should come to me in the Kings name, inviting
me to draw up an all-comprehensive Code of law
for Spain, to be presented to the Cortes. This produced
in addition to a former shorter one, a second visit
that same day, in the course of which he informed me
that in his opinion there could be no doubt that the
proposition would receive immediate acceptance: and
that he had already made a Report upon it in a form
recommending acceptance in the strongest terms. Our
intercourse is of the most cordial kind, and on his
part quite enthusiastic. To all appearance my
four letters on the late libertad laws and measures
of Spain which miscarried: they included the principle part of my principles
in regard to the liberty of the press, and cost me so
much time to write, and would in all probability have
made such a sensation at Madrid – for I had cut up
Gorila the deputy and the Minister of the Colonies in unnecessary
manner. They were, I imagine, stopped
in France. But other copies are gone by a secret conveyance.
By one means as others I have for the future
such means of conveyance as may be regarded as tolerably
sure.
