This book was released on 1790 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses politics in regards to the possible war with Spain. Writes, Our political situation at present is so enveloped in clouds of doubt and uncertainty, that the keenest and clearest eyes can see nothing through them ... we have as formidable a fleet ready to sail as ever was fitted out in this country, in so short a space of time, well-manned and in high spirits, eager to engage the enemy, yet it is by no means certain that they will face us, or that a war will take place. Notes that the high-level diplomatic negotiations are kept secret. Possible terms of agreement between England and Spain include compensation for [British] expenses and the right for navigation and settlement in the South Seas. Notes, a general pacification is not far off, owing to the situation of the Austrians, Russians, and Turks. Reports that the Empress of Russia will be less inclined to agree to terms of peace with Sweden unless England sends Sweden assistance, which does not seem likely. Adds that if the negotiations fail, and Russia joins Spain against England, England will have to assist Sweden. Parliament will meet 12 October.
