To Mora
Portugal upon terms in which the interests of both should be equally
consulted. But you see at the same time that, the negotiation
being in the hands of the ruling few on both sides, it the interests
of those same ruling few would be the only interests
consulted. In Spain they have sufficiently shewn themselves
already: for in regard to the liberticide measures, the point
at which they have begun is that at which our flagitious
government has for the present ended: or the rather, ( our
law against public meetings being as yet but temporary),
that, of which our government has stopped short of.
only In those circumstances Nothing in this way could or would
be done but through the medium, or at least with the intervention,
of the diplomacy; high might be as well here
as elsewhere. But then the the interest views and conduct of said diplomacy would be the same
sinister do as those of their employers. If In such a state of things, if there were any
the smallest probability of my being of use it would be –
not in forming the basis of a union ( whether independent,
federal or incorporate) but in acting as to an arbiter in
relation to this or that point of a basis already formed. The
only case in which I could be materially useful is this – that
if the Portugueze casting cast off (suppose) the miserable pretence of obeying
their beloved Sovereign against his will in all things, and
setting set up a Commonwealth: in Spain, the Army, calling
the people to its aid, burns out rid the country of royal nuisances,
and, looking to with their eyes turned to the Anglo-American
United States, the apply correspondent amendments
to the existing Constitution. In that case Reigo, or
or Nunez is might to then Washingon, taking you for his civil Dry-Nurse.
