1820 Nov 1 ☞ Sent through Colomb, as per p.6
J.B. to MoraLetter 4 Private

1 Decr 1820. Per J.D. This appears to have been part of the matter
sent through Colomb: if so, went safe, and need not be copied for resending.

I am so disheartened, my dear Sir, by the Spanish
news of the day, that my faculties seem to have left me.
They certainly have in a great measure for this day. Next
day a part of them will return, but not the whole.
This is what I have heard from their reflex observations which I am
constantly making in my own mind. The news I allude
to is the passing of the law against public discussion: coupled
with the rejection of the law for the suppression of .

The 27 of last month was a day of hope and alacrity
to me: it brought me from Mr Bowring in extent of a letter
from Mr Pucgblence on the subject of Codification. The alacrity
was in no small degree encreased by the receipt of yours
of the first I have had the pleasure of receiving, but I
hope not the last. It was not long as you may well imagine
before it was produced to very little knot. M. C. and
W. Great was the satisfaction, not small the admiration it
lighted up in their minds. I mention this, as so many facts
what I the knowledge of which being matter of necessity, the
communication of of them has a claim to preceding over all
reflections.

In the humour I am in, an invitation from the Cortes
in the most solemn form would scarcely give me alacrity enough
to undertake the work: perhaps when I am recovered from the
present shock, the state of things may not seem so perfectly
deplorable. By the What hope what pleasure is not me
from laws for a county government which should it be consistent
to adopt them (as they hardly to be expected) could not
people the benefit of them. The better the arrangement in question seems
to me to be, the less would
be any hope of seeing it
carried into effect.
