1823. Novr. 19
The Guatemalian Government, the attack upon
it by the upstart Emperor of Mexico having
failed, has been recognized by the Mexican Commonwealth,
as likewise by the Columbian.
Under these circumstances, you will judge,
Sir, whether it will or will not be advisable for
the King of Great Britain and Ireland to include
Guatemalia in whatsoever tokens of amity may
be bestowed upon any of the late Spanish dependencies.
The French have for a considerable time
has a sharp eye upon Guatemalia, and taken
active measures. In the event of my being honoured
with an interview, I shall be ready to
state the particulars without reserve. At my
departure for London about a year ago, I had been
years in France, and in habits with men
of influence there.
About the month of [GAP] 1823, proposals
went from the Commonwealth of Guatemalia
to the United States, expressing an eventual desire
to be adopted into their Union: what the result has
been, there has not been time for me here to
learn. The occasion was a pressing one. Guatemalia
was under invasion, or on the point of being so,
by the now extinguished Emperor abovementioned.
In regard to alliance, there was no room for choice.
The United States Government was near at hand.
The affections of Guatemalia had it is trice always
leaned to England, in preference to every other country.
But the affections of the English Government
were uncertain: and England was at a distance.
