Britannia and the peace talk in a hostile note

The piece criticizes a Spanish embassy official for feigning peace while undermining Britain. It notes Britain’s strong credit and commerce, argues against the idea Britain cannot field an army in Germany, and accuses the envoy of using disingenuous comparisons to press Britain toward ruin. The author labels the peace thesis as a wolf in sheep’s clothing and warns Britons against yielding.
