But the seasons went on There was a difference too in an army in their natural way ; the rains fell, and the winds by requisition, of whatever it wanted, blew as usual ; it was the troops aad the cannon of Ler acting on a contrary principle. The Bonaparte that were the sole engines of destruction h the French had to pass, and those which to our army ; an d all the misfortunes that befel tr avelled over, were completely dissimi- it, originated with our weak and imbecile Admi eir gallant army he would say, that their nistration. In place of this being no fit case for an ard discipline were unparalleled. The de- enquiry, the Hon.

Military cri- on the House to pass severe censure, but merely to another country was unhandsome, he participate in the general feelings of the country ; iy ; and it was extremely ungenerous to and to let the country know the House was much dis iishap as a crime , as a want of energy, appointed with the event of the campaign , and the .allant people. There was but one point conduct of Ministers, as it is. The Hon. Meniber iilitary policy, which he (the Noble Lord), believed, notwithstanding the acccunts given by the Oct to, and that was, the want of a Ministry, that our loss in men amounted to, at least 8 leer armies. In consequence of this de- or 10,000 men. It had been stated by the Noble ,e bodies were completely insulated, and Lord that we had lost no artillery ,• he would ask of on the most advisable of all plans, that that Noble Lord if two brigades of nine-pounders as one general madeine. The Noble Lord had not been left behind. From the time General that even after the severe losses at Tudcla, Moore found himself obliged to retreat, a scene of places, the Spanish spirit was not entirely woe and distress ensued almost unparalleled in any es , n. He could not but think it was a great history. Think of a retreat so rapid that the very f the French Emperor, instead of advancing casks which contained the dollars of the army were he British army, to draw up upon Madied, obliged to be staved ; the ammunition and provisions it;, it was represented by the Officers of Ge- destroyed, and the lame horses killed, All this ye's column, that the enthusiasm was exces- distress and confusion would have been saved if the 1 it was apparently the slime over the entire intended reinforcement had been sent ; and it was if Spain. As to the Right Honourable Mo- impassible but the Noble Lord must have heard of ,cement respecting loss of men, the Noble General Moore's intention to retreat time enough to ;sured the House, that when the statement have sent it. The Honourable Member said he under be wound up, it would fall far short of' the stood that General Beresford, and a number of other honourable Gentleman's representation.

A fine slieNir of friend- T ordnance fell into the enemy's hands, was ship, after having drawn off our troops, and forsaken lig at the time of capture to Romana's army, them to their fate. The House might think this was feeble escort, and it was rendered useless a motion v. hich ought to be treated as lightly as the it came into the enemy's possession. After Noble Lord who spoke last had done, but he thought could not help thinking that there would be otherwise ; the event of this motion, in his opinion, mind as to the conduct of our brave army, would fix or destroy the confidence of the nation in ierity as well as in adveisitv; and he would say that House. The House should let the army know, vas unbecoming to assert the impossibility of that here they have protectors, and here they would lig our lost military character. Was it by such find redress ; and well lie knew that curses were im eas those of Vimicra and Corunna, that we precated by the army while on their retreat, against .feited all claim to military reputation ?

What ! was the march of 15,000 men, was by the direction of his Majesty's Government. eir afterwards escaping under the French can- It was pretty well known to all the Officers who had a ground for enquiry ?

He wanted to know Mr. GOLBOURNE rose to express his dissent were the plans of General Moore, who advised from the Honourable Gentleman's motion; he could flans, and whether they were the best that could assure the House, that if he thought inquiry were ne kpt,2d.

The accusation of failure. made by the Hon. Gentleman opposite, came with a very bad grace from individuals whose Administration was a succession of failures. By. the Occurrences in Spain we had gained no trifling advantages ; we had given to our army experience ; we had shewn to the eyes' of Europe and to the world th.at:we arc as for midable by land as by sea ; we had taught the enemy to respect our military force, and to acknowledge that we possessed Commanders who could vie with the titled minions of Bonaparte. The Honourable Gen tleman had said that we had done nothing. Was it nothing to gain the - Spaniards that time which their situation demanded ? Was it nothing to afford them an opportunity of collecting -their dispersed armies ? Was it nothing, by creating a powerful diversion, to allow them the means in another part of the kingdom to combat with success the common enemy ? Had we not gained a national character by our conduct ?-- And, though our loss was considerable, was it not less than that which we had sustained in our former less glorious campaigns ? The honour which the British army had gained in Spain,, by raising its cha racter, had done more than all the plans which had beet or could be devised for giving facilities to the recruiting of that army. The Honourable Gentleman hid not shewn any ground for the motion which he had submitted to the House, in his opinion it would tend only to paralyze the country, and he therefore felt himself bound to vote against it. Lord MILTON observed, that the Honourable Gentleman -,vhoiliad just sat down, had proved a sin gular rea-on for applauding the conduct of the cam paign, namely, that its consequences would afford greater facilities for recruiting our army, than any that had hitherto been devised. He did not think the Noble Lord opposite would thank him for the com pliment. The Honourable Gentleman was of opi nion, that inquiry woaV only paralyze the country. On this subject. he differed completely from him— whether in power or out of power—whether support ing Administration or opposing it, he should alWays uphold the necessity of inquiring into the conduct of public affairs. Instead'of paralyzing, inquiry would inspire the people with confidence in Parliament, and would consequently give to the country a superior degree of strength. The object of the Spanish expe dition had completely failed ; unless, indeed, he had completely mistaken the object, which he conceived to be the restoration of Spanish independence, and the expulsion of the French from the country. In stead of this, the Crown of Spain had been placed by Napoleon on the head of his brother Joseph, and the Peninsula Was covered with the French armies. If this was not a subject for inquiry, he did not know what was. Mr. Secretary CANNING said, misrepresentation had held. the foremost place in the speeches of the Honourable Gentlemen opposite. They had endea voured, by a series of the grossest misrepresentations that he had ever witnessed, to pervert fact, and to mislead the judgment of the House. The Right Honourable Gentleman by whom. the debate was commenced, had taken a general and comprehensive view of the subject, and his misrepresentations were as general and . comprehensive. The Honourable Gentleman who followed him, had contented himself with a more particular field, but that field he had filled w.th misrepresentations, if possible, still more fla. grant. The Right Honourable gentleman disclaimed all decoration ; he gave to his statement, the charac ter of stout solemn facts. He wished to be consi dered as a plain man addressing a plain man— " A plain blunt man, he must speak the truth." Certainly the Right Hon. Gentleman was a plain blunt man ; he wished that he had-completed the picture, and only spoke the truth. He confessed himself to be much surprised that the Right Hon. Gentleman had ventured to state as facts, circum stances which he could only know on the authority of others ; circumstances not before the House ; collect ed from sources which the Right Hon. Gentleman doubtless believed to be of unquestionable purity, but which, in ten minutes, he would shew had no realex istence whatever. The main accusation of the Right Honourable Gentleman commenced with the conclu sion of the Campaign of Portugal, and the subse quent disposition of the British army. He had no doubt that the Right Honourable Gentleman would be equally ready to attack the mode in which that , army had been sent to Portugal, if the subject had been before the House, but as it was not, the first accusation which he had advanced, was respecting the mode adopted by his Mighty's Government to assemble the British force in Spain. He had exclaim- • ed against the absurdity, as he termed it, of dividing the army into three separate columns, and of extend ing those columns over many miles of country, so as to make it impossible for the centre column to go to the left without abandoning the right Golumn, or to go to the right without abandoning the left column.. Now, with respect to that arrangement, whatever merit or demerit it might have, it was not the ar rangement of Government. The Right Hon. Gen tleman had truly ,stated, that in the rapid course of events, where every twelve hours must produce the necessity of a deviation from preconcerted plans, it was impossible that any precise course of conduct could be dictated from England. This was al very just ; he readily admitted die Hon. Gentleman's premises, but from those premises flowed this inevitable con clusion, that Government neither could nor did pre scribe any line of march, when they knew that it might be interrupted by a thousand unforeseen acci dents. What Government did, was to give informa tion to the Officer commanding the British army, that a large force would be sent to Corunna to meet him, and that to Corunna he might proceed by sea if he chose, he having transports sufficient for half his force, and enough for the remainder being hourly expected. The option waPleft to him, and he made his choice to proceed by land. If the Right Hon Gentleman opposite had not preferred darkness to light, he might have had that Officer's dispatch, in which his Adoption was declared ; and now he would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman, what became of his , assertion, that this was the first military blunder of his Noble Friend ? But uow it might perhaps . he expected that he should acc.ount for the division of the army into separate descriptions V£ force.. Could the Right Hon. Gentleman believe it possible,that . any administration, even that which preceded the present, rangement ; but it was die arrangement notorGovern. ment, but of Sir John Moore. Ile dared to say, that the arrangement had been adopted on sufficient rea sons. What those reasons were, he did not know.; but whatever they were, they were distinctly that gallant officer's own reasons ; nor were the operation' undertaken without any concert with the Spanish Go vernment ; on the contrary, a distinct communica tion had been made to this country by an officer from the Central Government of Spain. From this state ment the House would be enabled to judge of the other misrepresentationi of the Right Honourable " Gentleman, who has thus been proved completely er roneous in imputing to his Majesty's Ministers,. the disposition'of the troops on their march from Portu gal. Nor was the Right Honourable Gentleman more fortunate or more accurate in his account of the operations in Spain. For variety sake he sup .posed the Right Honourable Gentlemanhad statedone fact correctly. He had stated that Sir J. Moore, on hearing of the defeat of the three Spanish armies, le.d it in contemplation to retire to the Spanish frontier, and sent orders to Sir David Baird to retire also. But for fear that he should be wholly right in his statement, the Right Honourable Gentleman drew this false in ference, that therefore Sir John Moore must after wards have advanced against his will. Here again the Right Honourable Gentleman was totally mis taken. It was true that Sir - J. Moore's intention of retreating was suspended by the information which he received from Madrid. It wastrue that Sir J. Moore received that information from Mr. Frere. At that period, the people of Madrid had undoubtedly formed a determination to defend it to the last extremity; a de termination which nothing could have defeated but the feebleness, or rather the treachery of that rough honest man, Morla, who had taken such a distinguished part in the early period of the transactions in Spain. To the baseness of this man alone, was to be attributed the de feat of the Spaniards in Madrid. Was it incredible that • the inhabitants of that city had determined on a brave resistance ? If they had been an unwarlike and lulu rious people, Sir John} Moore might have \ been justi fied in treating them with such disdain as\ to believe them to be incapable of fighting for their indepen dence ' • but it was not incredible that, fired by the example of Saragossa, th e brave compatriots of Palafox, should assert to the last their freedom and their honour. It was not surprising that Sir John. Moore should be deceived by such an expectation ; he should not have thought well of the heart of any gallant soldier who could have rejected it. Here, however, Mr. Frere's agency ended ; and he wished to take this opportunity of paying the highest testi mony to the conduct of Mr. F. in the whole transac tion, and indeed to the whole of his conduct either in Spain or in this country. Here, however, - as he had before stated, Mr. Frere's agency ended. Sir John Moore's advance was not owing to any information re- • ceived from him ; it was owing to the interception of a letter from Marshal Soult, by Which he obtained correct and undoubted intelligence respecting the situation of a part of the French army. Sir John Moore was (len vinced that, by a rapid march (General Hope having joined him) he could attack this French corps be fore the arrival of reinforcements. He also felt that if he failed in his immediate ob j ect, he should do ulti mate good, that he should withdraw Bonaparte frosts the Capital, and create a diversion in favour of Ma. drid, and enable those who still retained the spirit of patriotism, again to put it in action. On these grounds distinctly his own, Sir John• Moore proceeded. He advanced, and although impediments occurred to prevent him from obtaining his immediate object, he gave Spain time to breathe, and, if not to repair, calmly to view, the real state of her disasters. But the misrepresentations of the Right Honourable Gen tleman did not end here. He had imputed it as a great clime to his Majesty's Ministers, that when they knew it was Sir John Moore's intention to advance, they did not send reinforcements to Corunna ; and on this point the Right Honourable Gentleman laid great. n. stress, because, as he justly observed, there were troops actually embarked for that purpose, which were afterwards disembarked. But why were they so disembarked ? On this distinct requisition received from Sir David Baird, ' I need . so many transpoitei send them without delay.' Among all the decisions to which he (Mr. Canning) had been a party in the course of his life, no one had ever occurred which had given him so much pain as this. He had acquiesced most reluctantly in the necessity of the disembarka tion which ensued. There was no feeling of the heart which was not tortured by it. He was sure that it would &tate discontent in England, and dismay in Spain. Did the Right Hon. Gentleman suppose that his Majesty's Ministers were destitute of feeling ; or that he and his friends alone were alive to inconve nience and disaster ? Did the Right Hon. Gentleman suppose that it gave no pain to his Majesty's Minis ters to act under circumstances so afflicting ; and hav ing collected and embarked a force to assist their brave countrymen who were contending in Spain in the cause of freedom and independence, to order that , force to be disembarked, that the transports in wnlch it was to be conveyed might be rendered available for another purpose ? His Majesty's Ministers submitted to hard necessity. They had no choice. Let Tif man consider the responsibility they would havq in curred had they . refused to listen to the application so urgently made to them ; and if they had assumed to themselves a better knowledge of the circumstances than those who were on the spot, every empty trans -1 port that went was a pang to his heart, There was a nother-circumstance connected with this part of the transaction which he wished to explain. The Right Hon. Gentleman had desired to know why Sir David Baird had been sent out without instructions.. It was not so. He was sent out with ample instructions. He WAS told that he was to form a part of Sir John Moore's army, and Sir John Moore was apprised of the. circumstance. But the Right Honourable Gentleman was astonished that Government had not sent the transports with more accuracy to meet the British army on their re t r eat. Sir John Moore, in his „clitpatch, stated that he should retreat either by Vic* or Comma. The presumption was in favour of his \ retreating_ by Vigo ; but as this remained doithtful, could his Majesty's Ministers beblamed for not divin ing to w4i4i of those places he would effect his re treat ? *L s ..
