Copy of the Apfuderideijvered to the Count de Fuciizs by toe Earl of Egremmt, Dec. 31, 1762, ¢~ 'HE Ead ot Egremont, His Brizannick Majefly’s 1 Sccretary of State, having received from }is Ex- cellency the®Count de Faenies, Ambailudor of the Catholic King at the Court of London, a Paper, in wshich, belides the Notification of his Recall, and the Demind of the neceflaryPaflports to go ont of the Kings Dominions, he has thought proper to enicr into what has jult pafled between the two Courts, with g View to make tha; of London app:ar as the Source of all the Misfortunes which may enflue from the Rupiure which bas happened : In o:rder that Nobody may be mil:d by the Declaration, which his Exccllency has been pleafed to make to the King, to the Englifh Nation, and £o the wholeUniverle ; Notwithftanding the Infinuation, as voidof Foundation as of Decency, of the Spirit of H:ughtne(s and Difcord, which, his Excellency pietends reigns in the Britifh Government, to the Misfortuns of Mankind; and notwithftanding the [rregularity and In- decency of appealing to the EnglifhNation,ss if it cou'd be feperated from is King, for whom the moft deter- mined fentiments of Love, of Dy, and of Confidence, are engraved in the Hearts of all his Subj:&ts; The Earl of Egremont, by his Majelty’s order, jaying afile inthis Anfwer, all Spiri¢ of Declamation and of Huifh nels, avoiding every cffinfive Word, which might hurt the Digrity of Sovereigns,without ftooping to Invectives epeinft private Perfons, will confine himlelf to Fadls, with the moft (crupulous Exaétnefs : And it is from this Repreflentaticn of Faéls, that he appesls to sll Ea- rope, and to the whole Univerfe, for the Purity of the Kiog’s Intentions, and fer the Sincerity of the Withes His Majelty has not ccaled to make, as well as for the Moderaiion He has always {h: wed, though in vain, for thc Maintenance of Friendfhip and good Unadesitanding be:ween the Britith and Spanifh Nations. ¢ The King having received undoubtied Informations, thet the Court of Madrid had fecertly contrsét:d En- gagemerts with that of Verfailles, which the Minifters of France laboured to reprefent in all the Courts of Ea- rope, as offenfive to great Britain, and combining thele appearances with the Step, which the Court of Spain hsd, a Little Time before, taken towards His Majefly, in svowing its Confent (though that Avowel had bcen " followed by Apologies ) to the Memorial prefented thie 23d of July, by the Sieur de Bufly, Minifter Plenipo teptizry of the moft Chriflisn King, to the King’s Sc- cretary of State, and his Mujelly having, afterwsrds, reccived Intelligence, fcurce admitting a Doubt, of Troops marching, and cf military Preparations mzking in all the Ports of Spain, judged that His' Dignity,as well as His Prudence, ‘required Him to order His Am- beflador at the Court of Madrid, by a Difpatch daied the 28.h of O&ober, to demand, in Terms, the moft meafured however, and the moft amicable, a Com- munication of the Treaty recently concluded between the Courts of Madiid and Verfailles, or st leaft of the Articles, which might relate to the Interells of Great- Britain ; And, in order to svoid every thing, which could bethcught to imply the lealt Slight of the Dignily, or even the Delicacy, of His Catholick Msj:ily, the Euil of Briftol was Au horiz:d o consent him{cif with aflurances, in Cafe the Catholick King offered 1o give any, thatthe [zid Engsgemens did not contain anyThirg that was contrary to the Friendfhip, which fubfiftzd between theT wo Crowns, or that was prejudicial to the Interelts of Great Britain, (uppofing that any Difficulty was made of fhewing the Tieaties, The King could not give a lefs equivocabProof of his Dependence on the good Faith of the Catholick King, than in thewing Him an unbounded Corfidence, in fo important an Affair, and which fo effentially interefted His own Dignity,the Good of Kingdoms, and the Heppine[s of His People. How great; then, was the King’s Surpiize, whenin ftead of receiving the juft Satisfaltion, which he had a Right to expe&, He lesrnt from his Ambaffador, that having addrefled Himfelf to the Minifter of Spain for that Parpofe, he could only draw from him a Refulal to give a faiisfaltory Anfwer to His Mojefty’s juft Re- quifidons, which he had accompanied with Terms that breathed nothing but Haughtine(s, Animolity, and Menace ; and which feemed fo ftrongly to veriiy the Sufpicions of the unzmicable Difposition of the Court of Spain, that nothing lefsthan his Majelly’sModeration, and his Refolusion tsken to make all the Efforts poflible to avoid the Misforjunes infeperable from a Rupture, could determine him to make a laft Trial ; by givirg Orders to his Ambaflador to Addrefs himfelf to the Minifter ofSpain, to defire him to inform him ofthe Intentions of the Court of Madrid towards That ef Great Britain in this Cotjunéture, if they hLad taken Engsgements, or formed the Defign to join the King's Enemies in the prefent War, or o depart in any man- ' s y ner, from the Neutrality they had hitherto obferved ; and to make that Minifter fenfible, that if they perfifted jn refufing all Satisfaclion on Demands (5 juft, (0 necel- fary, fo interefting, the King could not but confider fuch a Refufsl as the moft authentick Avowal, that Spain bad taken her Part, and that there only remsined for his Majefty (o take the Meafures which his Royal Pru dence fhould diéate for the Honour and Dignity of his Crown, and for the Profperity ‘and ProteCtion of his People : And to recell His Amba{fador. ¢ Unhappily for the publick Tranquility, for the Intebeft cfcheTwe Nations and Fur iz Good of Min kiad, this jalt Step was #sfruicle(s as the preczed- i-g cmes ; the Spanith Minider, keepirg nu fuither Mealures, snlweied diyly, ““Thavit was in that very Mecmen*, that the War wis ceclired, snd the Hirg's Diguitys attecked, tac the-ar) o Biitlel might retive ko, gnd when, he fhould think proper.”’ Ard in vider'to fetin/istrus Light cheDeclaation, % That ii the Retpedl due to His-Cacholie Majefty had sheen regarded. Explanstions mizght have been had ¢ without any D:flicuity, and thac t1 ¢ Minifter of Spzin « might have faid traakly, ssMonl. de Fuenter, by tie ¢ King'sexprels ‘Order, declares publickly, that the ¢ faid Trzaty is only a Convenion between the Fami- i ly of Bourboa; wherein there is"Nothing, which lias -4 the lealt Relation te the prefent War ; and chet the ¢ Guaraniy, which is therein {pecified,is not o be un- ¢« derflood but ol the Domigions, which fhall remein ““ to France after the Wa'.” [t is declared, - thar, veéry “far from thinking of being wanting to the-Relp: &, ac- know!ledged to be due to crewnea Heads, the Inftiuc- tions given to the Eatl of [siftol, have slways been to make the Requifitions,'on the Subj¢&t of the Engigt ments between the Couits of Madrid and Verfailles, with all the Dceency, and all the Aitention poflible ; and the Demand of a Categorical Anlwer was not made till afier repeated, snd the mcft ftinging Relufals to give the 1:aft Satisfaltion, end st the lat Extremicty: Therefore, if the Court of Spain ever had ‘the Defign to pive this fo neceflary Satisfa&lion, they had not the leaft Realon, that oughtto have engsged them to defer it to the Momént, when it conld no longer be of Ute. But, Fortunately, the Perms in which the Decldration is conceived, fpares us the Regret of not-having recetved it fooner; .for it appesrs ax firlt Sight, that the Anfwer is not at &l conformable to the Demand : We wanted to be info med if the Court of Tpain intended to jrin the Freneh our Emmiu,lg make W ar on Great Britain, or to depart from their Neutrality, Whereas the Aniwer concerns one Treaty only, which is faid to be of the 15th of Anguft, cerefully avoiding tofay the lealtt Word, that could ‘explain in ‘sny Manner, the Intentions of . Spain towerds Great Britain, or the further Engage- ments they may heve contractzd in the prelent Crifis.
