She can never lend tier navv tn des'roy die independence of countries in which she has found many good markets for the produces >1 her tnanutac ures. The des ruc ion of those markets would occa sion an imm use loss ‘o her navigation and to her weak h ; for, should the colonies be brought again under the yoke of Spain, the old policy of this power would again be adopted, and the exclusion of all nations to he markets of those colonies would immediately be declared In case England should declare a strict neutrality, she could not, consistently will her interest and the honour of her flag, maintain i a long time : All the coast of Amerwa, horn Mexico to California, would undoubtedly be declared in a state of blockade.
