With all the reluctance which one must feel to charge with atrocious
crimes, a man whose talents (not always ill employed) have raised him to
the highest station and power that any human being ever attained, it is
yet impossible to think of his cruel and unprovoked attack on the
Spanish crown and people without indignation--without feeling, that
Divine Justice must charge to his account, all the ruin by fire, famine,
and the sword, which his unparalleled injustice has visited upon that
unhappy country.
