All In all this I take for granted that after making a few cool
estimate of ways and means the disastrous prospect of partly
partly recognizing Ultramaria will not be preserved in: for,
if it were, with to with whatsoever consent or good liking and concert he lent or hand
to it, it would not be with more. Those of any such
there be who under A government which with great difficulty
if it can find means for maintaining itself at home –
for such a government to think of sending out fleets and armies
to another hemisphere to make conquests with is such an act
a prospect so palpably insane, that if it were the case of an
individual he ought to be under the care of a keeper!
a less mischievous as well as shorter course would
be to sink the vessels the men and the money and the vessels in
the sea at once: the waste and carnage in the other hemisphere
would thus be saved.

My great delight would be to see you with Spain, Portugal
and Naples by their united exertions, with the help of some
of my Brother's inventions, free themselves from the tyranny of the
barbarians of North Africa: and this if you must have dependencies
I would rather see you in possession of those such near this
than of suchthose remote ones, but this though a lesser evil
would still be an evil and a greater great one. For state condition
I should like to see this in supposing all possible would be that of a commonwealth
yielding not to Spain &c in tribute but that which consisted what was employed
in the pay of a garrison for the ports and harbours kept for the Christian garrison sufficient to prevent his vessels
purpose of from being applied in the purpose of piracy.
The Commonwealth Constitution might be such as the Spanish Constitution
would be if an Executive Government chosen altogether by the people were
substituted to the Monarchical part. For a Mahometan Barbarous Monarch
could not for a moment
be sub kept subject to
any such restrictions
as for a certain length
of time a Monarch of
the Christian School may
perhaps be made to
brought to endure. It His passions would not want for the slur effect of corruption: all barriers would at the same instant be cut through by the sword.
