Then comes the Council of State. In the mind of the
contriver, what was the object – the looked for use – in of this
same Council of State? Of this I cannot take upon me to
speak. To say what the effect of it will be is not is the
same quite so difficult. In this machine, with its 40 folds,
I behold a screen interposed between the Monarch & the
Ministers & covering them from responsibility. How then
is an ever ready instrument of mischief in all shape
has in the hands moreover at this disposal of this ever living instrument as
which the disposal of which is perhaps the greatest part: & when things are
a little settled is the whole mass of the emolument, power, and
factitious dignity, belonging tot he whole of the Ecclesiastical
and the Judicial Establishments. With this machine,
along with the rest of the machinery, the infallibility of
your Constitution makers are has saddled the necks of Spain
and her Ultramaria – (her Ultramaria! to all eternity:
Were there your men on every point, but still copying them but too closely,
the Portuguese have reserved to themselves the possibility
of ridding themselves their necks of theirs that millstone at the end of ten years.

Apropos of Ultramaria, In my last, I
sent you the titles of the Letters I have written on that
subject. Here follow two additional ones. In Part the
first, add Letter 12 ..Mode of corrupting profit and loss a Ulterior Evil. Weakening in Spain
by the claim – Estimates prepaid "the power of defence against aggression on the part of
"European States – Defensive power weakened. In Part the
second, after Letter 3, insert "Letter 4. Cause 4. Every Ultramarian
"Province a prey to every Spanish war, with
"any other Province, or any foreign State. Ultramaria
"a prey to Spanish wars."
