This maxim is equally applicable to nations, By purling a system ini mical to the interefhr of other nations, afttdTo ; gardful only of monopolizing the commerce of ‘ { the world, England has’ long been an obje& of } I jealousy, and is now the object of the hatred of I J all nations.

The reign of George the third will be diftinguilhcd by after ages as the reign of blood j and every p ‘riotic Eng lifitman will curie that fatality, which doomed a being void of undertlanding and fall of obftina j -y to pfslide over his naiion, Without any public avowal cf an hostile 1 temper, fome few years since, the Imperial Exe cutive ifftted rnandates to their piratical and ma- | rauding fea-capfaias, to fink or burn every Span- j iHi veflel they met under one hundred tons i All Spanilli vessels exceeding that number of] : tons were to be captured, confide red as prizes,! 1 and carried into Malta. Parfuing her dcftmedl course, believing in the faith and pacific dispo sition of England, and rniitruftful of danger, the Merc ides, a Spanish frigate, bearing a cargo of immense value from Palentia, was attacked, captured, and with several others, carried into port, in conformity with the direflior.s iflueid privately ftona the Executive Dipafttriept. Wlien a demand was made by the Court of • Madrid to that df London, requiring an expla-i nation of such unparallelled and degrading con-’ •uct, and calling forjuilice, the rt-piy was, the trigates Captured.are detained as reprisals. Re- 1 prif.ils for what ? enquired the State Secretary 1 ft the Spanish government, Don Cevallos.— : tapain, it was aiuwered, had afforded pecuniary j aid to Franee, and by that mean had ena’uled 1 her to purlue with increased ardor and vigor her j movements ol hostility. True, indeed, it was, that Spain had raised a contingent sum, r.greca-! bly to an express article in the Treaty ratified’ between uer and France at St. lldefonfo, and. j forwarded to Napoleon. Had Spain been the i j lirft objedl of Eaghfh affauh, such an afllftance I would have been afforded her by France, ini con j formity with the said article in the said Treaty. | But maritime dominion is the object, which i Great-Britain seems resolved to possess and re- I tain, if possible, in defiance of all law, human ! an d Divine.
