ABSTRACT
Mr Pitt had, in the mean time, called upon the Spanish ambassador, a to disavow the memorial of the French negociator. He avowed the union, that subsisted between the two courts; and extolled the generousness and sincerity of the French advances. At the same time, he directed the minister, in case he should perceive a diposition in that court, to explain away their concern in the business; with readiness and address, to adapt himself to so desirable a circumstance; and to open to the Spaniard as handsome a retreat, as possible. The campaign of 1759 had dazzled the people of England. The campaign of 1760, less brilliant and active, restored them to their senses. They began to reflect on the nature of that continental war, in which they were involved. They could not forget, that Mr Pitt had heretofore been its warmest opponent.
