Should our system of cringing continue progressively toincrease as it has done these last three years, we, too, shall very soonhave rooms consecrated, and an idol to adore. LETTER XVIII. PARIS, September, 1805. MY LORD:--Portugal has suffered more from the degraded state of Spain, under the administration of the Prince of Peace, than we have yet gainedby it in France. Engaged by her, in 1793, in a war against itsinclination and interest, it was not only deserted afterwards, butsacrificed. But f...or the dictates of the Court of Madrid, supported, perhaps, by some secret influence of the Court of St. James, the Court ofLisbon would have preserved its neutrality, and, though not a well-wisherof the French Republic, never have been counted among her avowed enemies. In the peace of 1795, and in the subsequent treaty of 1796, whichtransformed the family compact of the French and Spanish Bourbons into anational alliance between France and Spain, there was no question aboutPortugal. In 1797, indeed, our Government condescended to receive aPortuguese plenipotentiary, but merely for the purpose of plundering hiscountry of some millions of money, and to insult it by shutting up itsrepresentative as a State prisoner in the Temple.
