Scope and Contents

Del Monieri fears that he did not explain well yesterday what he has written to Admiral Vignolet . This is what he did in substance. It is evident that the Royal Army cannot susist in the North of Spain and that it is indispensible that the sea be opened for arms and munitions. But the blockade of the Germans, French and Italians shut off the sea but even the access to the shore. He has written to Admiral Vignolet stating, as he quotes in the letter, that since the royal forces cannot answer with cannon, they must use tricks. He asks the Admiral to furnish certificates of nationality, American clearance papers, patents of safety and manifestos in blank but bearing true seals so that the ships will be doubly protected. They can sail from Liverpool with arms and if not molested they need not show the American papers, but if challenged by the blockaders they can use the other papers and land without interference. He calls attention to the news that 2,000 Carlists attack Barcelona yet that they will take the city because the people do not support the government in case of attack. He will send all the history tomorrow. :: I-2-a A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
