I about If there should be a change in favor of the ministry that made the peace, and a dissolution of this profligate league, iich they call the coalition, it would be much for the good of all who speak the English language. If fame says true, the ooalition was formed at gambling tables, and is conducted as it sas formed, upon no other than gambling principles. Such is the fate of a nation which stands tottering on the brink of a precipice, with a debt of two hundred and fifty-six millions sterling on its shoulders; the interest of which, added:0: he peace establishment only, exceeds by above a million annually all their revenues, enormously and intolerably as they are already taxed. The only chance they have for salvation is to a reform, and in recovering the affection of America. The a't ministry were sensible of this, and acted accordingly. The present ministry are so far from being sensible of it, or caring -bout it, that they seem to me to be throwing the last dice for 'be destruction of their country. I have the honor to be, &c.

John Adams (1735-1826) was a highly educated and enlightened lawyer who became a central figure in the American Revolution. As a political theorist he influenced the constitutions of the former British colonies in America, and he is regarded, with Jefferson, as the father of the United States Constitution. First published in 1850-6, this collection brings together Adams' major writings. Given their influence not only on the United States, but also on other republics, Adams' works rank among the most important political writings of their time. Volume 8 contains official letters and papers covering the periods when Adams was Vice-President and President. They focus mainly on foreign affairs, in particular the disputes between France, Spain and Britain that threatened to involve the United States. A secret letter from Washington raises the possibility of British troops crossing America to attack Spanish interests.
