I have looked on Spain and her Indies; in the latter I called a new world into life, and thus J regulate the balance, giving France all the con- sequences of her invasion. " I have found a solace for that invasion, while leaving to France a burden of which she would gladly disembarrass herself; and which she can- not bear without complaint. It is thus I reply to all that is said on the occupation of Spain. I cannot but wish to avert a war, when I think on the immense power of this country. I kn...ow that we should see ranged beneath her banners, to take part in the struggle, all the world's mal- contents, all the age's unquiet spirits, all those who, justly or unjustly, are dissatisfied with the present state of their countries. " The idea of such a situation excites my dread ; for it would show that a might exists in the hands of Great Britain, perhaps more ter- rible than has ever been seen in action, through- out the history of the human race. — (Hear. ) ' Oh it is excellent to have a giant's strength, But it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.
