Alliances are never more firmly eftablithed, than when it is the Intereft of both the contralling Parties to obferve the Terms they have agreed on. Nor is the Alliance of France the only Benefit arifing fromSpain’s having a Prince of French Extraltion on the Throme. The Court ofSpain bave confiderably improved their Revenues, and encreafed their Forces by Sea and Land ; fince that Event, the People are encouraged to apply themfelves to Manufadtures and Hufbandry, and to fhake off that idle and . heavy Difpofitiony which had rendered them fo contemptible in the Eyes of other Nartions ; and they may probably, in a few Years, make a more confiderable Figure in Eurape, than they did under their Native Princes ; and itis not at all improbable, thatSpain fhould on fome Pretence or other, hereafter add Portugal o her Dominions again, fince France will {carce ever make a Diverfion in Favour of that Kinggom, as it ufed to do, when Portugal ‘'was invaded by Spaix : No Nation belide France can prote& Portugal a- ganlt Spain, except Britain with its Fleet 5
