CAMPAIGN IN sP.SIN. Lord DARNLEY renewed liis observations respecting the ne cessity of having before the House the letter addressed by Mr. Frere to Sir John Moore, at saiamanca. He conceived it to be a document of the utnicest importance when a discussion should take place on the conduct of the late campaign in Spain. It was his-intention to give notice of a day upon which he should move for the production of that papi:r. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no doubt but he should be able to satisfy the House why the letter alluded to should not be pro+ duced ; but he should defer stating his reasons for refusing, until the NohleLord brought forward his motion. Lord MOliket offered a few words respecting the propriety of .producitig the letters. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House in a Committee on the Shilling and Sixpenny Sa lary Duty Bill, went through the same, and to he reported to morrow. Lord CASTI.ERF.AQH resented, pursuant to order, same documents respecting PortugaL—Ordered to lie on the table. GE': ERA!. CLAVXRING. /41r. WILLIAMS WYNNE deferred his Motion for the com mittal of this Officer until Monday nest, the debate on the main question not being yet eaded. SPANISH PAPERS. Lord TEMPLE, alluding to a question put last night to the Right Honourable Secretary of State, whether the letter of Mr. Frere to the British Commander in Spain, had ever been laid on • the table of this House (to which the answer was " No") He wished now to ask the Right Hon. Secretary, whether that letter made part of any public dispatch ? Mr. CANNING auswered " No." The Bermuda Spirit Trade Bill was committed, and ordered to be reported to-morrow. A Bill was presented, and read the first time, fir rendering free, for a time to be )invited, the port of Falmouth, in Jamaica. . Ordered for the second reading. Mr. WARD brought in the Marine Mutiny Bill). He stated, that the only alteration in this Bill from that or last year was the assimilation of some clauses to others of the filutjn Bill of the present year. . . Mr. CALCRAFT took this occasion to ask the Honourable Gentleman, whether it was his intention to bringin -a bill this Sesilonfor the•reiief of the widows of naval and marine officers free% the Compassionate Fund ? • Mr. WARD answered, that every official preparation was in readiness, and the bill was speedily to he introduced. • ' Leave was given and Mr. WARD accordingly presented the bill, which was read the first time, and ordered for the second reading to-morrow. _ _ SirC.POLE wished to make a few observations on the subject of his Majesty's Marine Forces. The Ma rines, he said, formed at present a most extensive por tion of the disposable force of the country, not less in number than one-fourth of the troops of the line : their amount at present being 32,000 'men. In the year 1801, the then First Lord of the Admiralty (Lord Melville) thought it would be expedient to at tach to the marine forces a corps of four companies of artillery. It was, however, to be lamented that those corps were never exercised as artillery on shore, as they should be ; though he was confident there was no part of the army to which artillery could be a.. tached where their services would be mere efficient. It wos so long since as the year 1755, that themarines were established as a separate corps from the army. Until that time the troops for service on ship board wee drafted from regiments of the line : but notwithstan ding this establishment of the marines as a separate corps, it was always, he believed, understood they should be in all respects entitled to the same rank and estimation as the land forces, and their officers had the same claim to rank and preferment. In the year 1763, their officers were placed on the same footing in this respect as those of the artillery, in pro portion to their number and seniority ; but it so hap pened, that at this moment, while there were 71 field officers of the army belonging to the artillery corps, there were but 41 of that rank belonging to the corps of marines, little more than half the number. The next puint to which he wished to advert was, the pre. elusion of officers for the marine service from educa tiOn at Woolwich Academy. He could see no rea son why the officers intended for that branch of the service should not be admitted there as well as those for any other. The next point, he . wished to notice was, the situation of. the Pay captains of marinei, each of whom had noless than two thousand accounts toleep, without any additional pay or remuneration for their trouble. This surely was a subject which called for some consideration, and demanded that some compensation should be given for so much ' ex tra trouble and responsibility. The next considera tion was, the necessity of adjusting the rank which ' marine troops should:hold in the line. He believed when they were first established, ho adjustment was settled ; but he understood, that Sir Ralph Aber crombie gave their place next to the 50th regiment. Sure, however, he.svas, there were no iroops in his Majesty's service more eminently distingtf shed for their zeal and bravery, than those marines ; and it was full time to settle their claims. He had just offered these suggestions, not in any desire to cast the least blame on the. Board of Admiralty, but in the hope that something would be done to obviate the defi ciencies to which he had pointed. Mr. WARD confessed, he was not prepared to an swer the Honourable Admiral satisfactorily, on the several points to which he had alluded. He perfectly agreed with him in the high opinion he bad so justly expressed, of the services of his Majesty's Marine _ ._ . - • ,—, 7 ,„ • . !'''' 4 . . I• ••• • • ' ' ' . " it .' 4 ' .
