    To the first class /head/ belong those grievances which belong to the department /head/ of finance: namely money raised /the practice of raising/ in Spanish America for the service of Spain: raised, so you will be told for your relief, for your service.

    To the other head belong those grievances which belong to the head of justice: grievances having in so far as they have place, having for their source the practice of receiving in Spain appeals from judicial decisions and pronounced or not pronounced and judicial proceedings carried on or not carried on, in Spanish America.

    To these heads of grievance and modifications /modes/ of misrule, which both of them seem but too likely to have place, let me add, lest any thing should appear /seem/ to have been overlooked another which though obvious and easily conceivable seems not very likely to have place. I mean the practice of raising in Spanish America supplies of men for service in Spain - and thence, so are you will be told, for your service

    To these three let me add a fourth in the case /instance/ of which there seems some difficulty in determining under what head to class /place/ it. I mean /It is/ the practice of appointing men /[...?]/ in Spain to be sent /and sending them/ to Spanish America to fill official situations there. This practice as every one knows is abundantly prevalent. It /The grievance/ may be, and must be placed in the class of those from which no correspondent benefit can be derived by you in Spain. and in the instance of which the burthen as will be seen will be pure, unalloyed by benefit to either country in any shape; always excepting the ruling few among you by whom this tyrannical /galling/ and corruptive power - this power of misapplied patronage will be exercised.

    Summary

    I. Creoles willing

    5. Men sent from Spanish America to serve in a military capacity in Spain. From this source no relief in respect of diminution of taxes would be experienced by the subject many in Spain: at a less price than it would cost to import them, men might be obtained for this service either in Spain or in some other country of Europe.

    In the above may be seen sources of supply at the charge of Spanish America that ever have been or ever (it is believed) could be resorted to under the notion of affording relief or benefit in a pecuniary shape to the subject many in Spain.

    In the way of trade - meaning free trade - no benefit in any shape can be derivable to the subject many in Spain from any such dominion. For the trading of any one country with any other, and deriving whatsoever benefit is derivable from such trading it is neither necessary nor conducive that either should exercise dominion over the other. (a)

    (a) The trade between Great Britain and the American United States is greater in a prodigious degree it ever was before thay shook off their dependence.

    ' People Sufferers

    As will be in Spain as in England. Ten thousand suffering beings /human sufferers/ - men women and children all unarmed meet to consider of the means of relief. Some being by the /a/ existing military force cut to pieces, the rest dispersed the necessity of addition of 10,000 veteran troops, to the 100,000 there were before, is discovered, and the 10,000 thereupon raised. This in a country where every thing is known and seen as it is /immediately/ and the supposition /opinion/ of any demand for additional armed force for suppression of unarmed meetings seems to be incapable of being entertained by any human being who was not out of their senses. Think then how long any such opinion as that of the needlessness of a military force in Spain for the keeping down discontent in Chile, Peru, or the Mauritius could continue in Spain supposing it ever to have been formed there.
