Seite 23 - To continue to call that a Possession of Spain, in which all Spanish occupation and power had been actually extinguished and effaced, could render no practical service to the Mother Country; — but it would have risked the Peace of the World. For all Political Communities are responsible to other Political Communities for their conduct, — that is, they are bound to perform the ordinary international duties, and to.
