§ Sir; Though I have little to add to the general representation respecting the means of resistance at present existing in Spain, which. I had the honour of stating 8 in my letter of the 30th of last month, yet the report which is just brought me by of the state, in which he left Madrid, is so strong a confirmation, or, more properly speaking, so much exceeds every thing which I had ventured to say of the spirit and resolution of the people, that I cannot forbear representing to you in the strongest manner the propriety, not to say the necessity, of supporting the determination of the people of this country by all the means which have been entrusted to you for that purpose. I have no hesitation in taking upon myself any responsibility which may attach itself to this advice, and I consider the fate of Spain as depending absolutely for the present upon the decision which you may adopt. I say for the present; for such is the spirit and determination of the people, that if abandoned by the British, I should by no means despair of their ultimate success.—You will see by the date of this, that the Junta are removed from a situation in which they were exposed immediately to be made prisoners. —They have determined to remove to Badajoz, where I shall hope to be honoured by your answer. I have the honour, &c. (Signed) J. H. FRERE.
