Auguste Carayon de la compagnie de Jesus, LXXXVI. et LXXXVII. The example of the United States did not merely threaten to disturb the valley of the Mississippi; but, as epidemic disease leaps mysteriously over mountains and crosses oceans, spores of discontent might be unaccountably borne, to germinate among the many-tongued peoples of South America. All alluring promises of lowering the strength of England could soothe Florida Blanca no more. His well- Chap.

Feb. 3. answered: The island of St. Eustatius is Dutch; everything in it is Dutch; everything is under the protection of the Dutch flag, and as Dutch it shall be treated. Besides St. Eustatius, all the settlements of the republic in South America were taken during the season.

The Dutch republic was relatively weak; yet, if her finances were impaired, it was by debts contracted during her alliance with England and in rendering service to that power. England lost, for the time, its remaining influence on the conti
