And speaking of the late great Minister's Conduct with regard to Spain, he observes, "That nothing distinguishes the Capacity of the Statesman in Mr. PITT, more than his consummate Policy to crush the French Power, before he shewed any Dissatisfaction with Spain; and his just Resentment and Readiness to treat Spain as an Enemy, as soon as the French Agent produced a public Evidence of the Spanish Intentions to break the Peace with Great-Britain, in Favour of his Master."

The Monitor argues that a minister protesting a condemned measure cannot exculpate himself, as he remains responsible under parliamentary authority. It highlights Mr. Pitt's policy of first crushing French power before expressing dissatisfaction with Spain, and promptly treating Spain as an enemy upon evidence of her intentions to break peace with Britain in favor of France.
