British Fury and Spanish Depredations Debate in Public Letter
A lengthy coastal and political letter condemns Spanish depredations and British prudence. The author urges steadfast retaliation, denounces Spanish agents, and insists Ministers must secure compensation for trade losses, especially in the Bay of Campeachy, while defending national honor and maritime security. The piece frames the debate as pivotal for Britain’s standing among European powers and calls for firm action rather than restraint.
