Espagne, 1826 549 
Joseph' Bonaparte on Spanish throne; too unlikely for him 
to have confidence in it (f . 211) . 
June 24. No. 17, France does not oppose U.S. 
taking part in negotiation, for that affords a certain 
guarantee that its conduct towards Spain will be less 
hostile; but England appears to be opposed to it, act there- 
fore with great reserve towards Everett (f . 267) . 
From Moustier 
April 30. No. 59, Granville writes Lamb that 
French cabinet wishes to force Spain to enter into arrange- 
ment with colonies, and that Emperor Nicholas would support 
overtures; Due de l'lnfantado shocked at idea of making 
advances to colonies (f . 81) . 
June 11. No. 69, separate negotiations of 
England and U.S. on behalf of Colombia and allied states 
(f . 215) . 
June 13. No. 70, conference with Lamb respecting 
American affairs and negotiations of U.S. through Everett; 
decided not to try to get Everett to suspend his negotiations 
(f . 233) . 
June 14. No. 71, difficulties in way of Everett's 
negotiations (f . 240) . 
July 7. No. 76, conversation with Everett on 
American affairs; his arrogant republicanism; Everett says 
that if Spain withdrew her forces from Cuba and Puerto 
Rico, U.S. might be obliged to occupy them to prevent 
erection of another negro republic (f . 206) . 
July 12. No. 77, reply of Due de l'lnfantado 
to Everett [see below] evidently in hope of rapprochement 
between Spain and colonies; Everett has reaped what he has 
sown (f . 322) . 
From Villahermosa 
May 8. Fantastic account of plot in which U.S., 
Joseph Napoleon, Lallemand, Mexico, Spanish revolutionaries 
in England, French exiles in America, and others are con- 
cerned to put Joseph Bonaparte again on throne of Spain, 
and to secure recognition of American republics (f . 98) . 
A. H. Everett 
To Due de l'lnfantado 
June 10. Ordered by U.S. to propose to Spain 
an armistice with Colombia, in name of Colombia and her 
allies (f . 213) . 
From Due de l'lnfantado 
July 8. Reply to Everett's note of June 10; 
non-committal in form, but actually decided refusal of 
Everett's proposal; expresses appreciation of action of 
U.S., and Spain's general desire for peace (f. 316). 
To Moustier 
June 7. Has no orders respecting negotiation 
on behalf of Colombia, but feels authorized to support 
proposals made by England and France (f. 227).
