Description
Explains the reasons that led Spain to support the independence of the United States, and to declare war on Britain in 1779, especially, the account of the Spanish monarch's attempt to mediate between Britain and France. At the same time as the Spanish King issued this manifesto, the King of France put forth his "Exposé des motifs de la conduite du roi, relativement à l'Angleterre". In the volume of the Annual register for 1779, p. 367-412, are translations of both the Spanish and French documents with the justifying Memorial issued by Great Britain in reply to the English translation published under title: An exposition of the motives of the conduct of the king of France towards England : with the justifying memorial in answer to the exposition, &c. of the court of France (London, 1780).
