8 Feb 1810
Parly Reform Sinecures

The general result is that in a very large proportion
of the cases in which but for this superior
power of the Junta capture would take place, it
does not take place, its taking place being repugnant
to the plain rules of human prudence: and forasmuch as that in
a word in all those instances, the becoming captor
is a calamity misfortune from which a man is compelled to
make his retreat by the same motives the same in kind of the same
kind, and though sometimes influence on of inferior yet sometimes
also fo superior force to those by which he
is urged to avoid the more manifest perhaps not so afflictive though not
less more real calamity misfortune of being captured.

Thus it is that while the King from sitting on his throne
is offering his orders in due form and in like due form denouncing
and waging war against Bonaparte, the power that
the seat of which is under the throne, occupying occupies itself
in undermining the power that sits upon the throne, acting in appearance
under Bonaparte's ga royal adversary, but in
effect and reality in allowance and co-operation
though not in concert yet not less in co-operation,
with Bonaparte.
