'The settlement with the Court of Spain de manded investigation—it appeared that this country was paying large sums to Spain. when in fact (to say nothing pf the ingratitude of the Spanish Govern ment) it was known that a large debt was owing from Spain to this county y. He wished to know whether the sinus paid were really part of a debt due to Spain, or were part of a new subsidy given under the pre tense of an existing debt? The CHANCELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER answered, that as to the abuses in the Commissariat, Cle.Government would have been obliged to him if he had communicated to them what he knew on the subject. As to the debt due to Spain, he was at a loss to know what the Hon. Gentleman could mean. In fact, Spain owed a very large debt to this coun try; yet as the Spanish army serving under Lord Wellington was in British pay, it was necessary to pry, to. them the arrears which were due to them. Mr. BARING said he had not pretended to pm sesi any very important information as to the Com inissariati but what he had he should mention in pro per time. As to any communication with the 'Flea sery, he could state a reason why he had not pre ' . fitted that mode : a friend of his, a practical man, and wellanformed on the subject, had, in the time of Mi. Perceval, made a communication of some abuses ; tio,notice was taken of the matter till a long time afterWardi, when the Commissary came from Spain, and his (Mr. Baring's) friend was informed, that if he had any charges to make, he had now an opportunity. Mr. HUSKISSON did not recollect any inform tionlef,the kind mentioned by the Hon. Gentleman having been communicated to the Treasury depart ments. • As to the present subject, the fact was, that ' the.SPanikb :troops had been raised and served under 'the 'faith of a subsidy from this country to support theta: at the time of the peace arrears were due to them, Or rather to the different contractors who had lupplictrihem with necessaries, and it would have beiiiiiiirtist to have called upon the Spanish Govern - anent, embarrassed as it was at the time, to make good the engagements which had been made with the EWA Governafent. , Mr. WHITtift.EAD allowed the force of that ob .lltivat.lhn, but at the same time insisted that it should tleirli •be explained whether the sums which had tetfi . 4)aid W the Spanish Government since the peace bad_re fact been applied to these purposes, or had been used for the despotic objects which Ferdinand had pursued towards his subjects ? It was not enough 4 hisythat a sum for a particular purpose had been joilchci the King of Spain 3 it should be shewn • that I had been properly applied. He congratulated the House On the accession which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had received in the person of the Honour able Gentleman : he now hoped that those plans of ecoorny. and crucial in Finance which had so long Seen the favoUrite theme of the Honourable Gentle. Man would be put hi execution, and that the country would re.ip, thx adramage of his vigilance, both hi plobing old .ertitrirds, and in administering fresh strength. Tbe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Would ley merely one word as to the mode of the Riytnenu to Spain.—They had usually been made On olkith * niediusiq if the Spanish Government, who 114 then' itaiiifeirrS4 Iberia to the direction of the Tyke oovouia g oo 1 .since the peace, the Ambassa dor, Sir H. Wadley, had been the organ of these rtflelti. Oil the subject of the assistance of his Ott.

' Mr. BARING and Mr. TIERNEY pressed to ' know what sumo hid beesi *Dished for die Spanish army ? a-,•• - . The CHANCELLOK or t.: the EXCHEQUER said, that there. had been an agreement by which about two millions yearly were furnished. Mr. WHITBREAD supposed that this had not been .merely a verbal agreement : and if a written opt, why was it not produced ? It would appear that' an agreement had been made with the late Regency of Spain, under which money had been supplied to ' the present King of Spain, to eaable him to persecute that. Very Regency. • Mr. W. FOr•E rose to set the Hon. Gentleman tight% (Mr. Writtbread here made some s; mptoms a tieing.) He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would bear him t it was his first time of addressing the Douse, and the House had, at least, listened twenty times already to the Hon. Gentleman. The facts of the case were these—at the conclusion of the war it had been determined that a certain sum should be supplied to enable the troops to return to their respec tive countries. Spain, among the rest, was to be fur nished win, a sum for the use of her troops on their return, and till their dispersion. Sir Henry Wel- Toll e y made the arrangement With the Spanish Go vernment as to the amount ; and our Government, thinking the arrangement advantageous, had agreed to it. Ferdinand had returned some time before this: but he did not see how the sum so furnished could be' applied for those despotic purposes which he was not more than the Hon. Gentleman disposed to admire. Mr. WHITBREAD professed himself very happy to hear again the well•modulated voice of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but thought that no extraordinary regret was due to his silence, as without doubt he would make large amends by frequent speaking in future : a very few days would clear all his arrears in talking (a laugh.) g ot as to the document, for it now appeared that some document existed, he wished to ask why it was not produced ? Mr. W. POLE said that certainly there was a do cument, but whether it could be produced was ano ther thing. For hilt own part he had so long been witness to the troublesome questions which the Ho nourable Gentleman, for the last 20 years, had been So fond of putting, that he should recommend to hi; colleagues not to answer a question till they bad taken a day to deliberate. Mr. WHITBREAD.—I shall ever ccntinue to a.k such questions as I think my duty imposes upon me; nor is it very probable, that a habit of 20 years will be corrected by any thing which the Right Ho. nenrabh - s:ntlettein can advance. How far that iAvitit Gentleman may prevail upon his col 4a6nes,c,, induce them to aileocei I cannot tell; but I itiPP9 4 . that Ili chargellor of the Exchequer will, l ' a.

PONSONBY trusted that the Right Mid.' Gentleman's advice to his Right Hon. Friend would• not answer its purpose, It wail now evident that there were more agreements than one, and he hoped the Right Hon. the Chancellor •of the Exchequer would see that their production was essential. The . Right Hon. Gentleman asked for a large sum, partly made up of the money granted to the Spanish Go vernment, when the war was at an end, and when Spain owed us an immense sum. This appeared to him to be a very grave and fit subject for enquiry. The CHANCELLOR' of the EXCHEQUER declared, that he had never denied the existence of a correspondence involving the agreement alluded to; he had only denied • that there had been any distinct Sebsi,fiary Treaty. He was persuaded that the Hour dint the country would never have thought it riot 11 - 1•: any of our Allies who had been fighting wide; o haaners should be dismissed without the furious of rep,iiring to their respective homes. Mr. BARING acknowledged, that the more he heard of this business the more suspicious it became. He repeated his Hon. Friend's hope that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite would not persuade his colleagues to abstain from answe7ing any fit question that might be put to them. Mr. W. POLE complained of misrepresentation. All that he had said was, that when papers were asked for, the propriety of producing which it was impossible immediately to ascertain, he would recom mend to his Right Hon. Friend to postpone giving any answer. The inclination of his mind was to grant -every information which could be granted with pru dence and safety. The Resolution was then agreed to, and the Re port was ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr. BARING gave notice, that on Tuesday he would move for the production of the agreement which had just been the subject of conversation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed his readiness to produce the substance of that agreement, although it would be impossible produce the agreement itself. Lord PALMERSTONE presented certain Esti mates, by order of the House. General GASCOYNE, adverting to the increase which had been mAde in the pensions of the widows of officers of the NAvy and Marines, wished to know whether the Noble Lord intended to propose any aug mentation of the pensions of the widows of the offi cers of the Army ? Lord PALMERSTONE replied, that the subject was under consideration, but that no specific propo sition could be nude with respect to it, until the Army Extraordinaries should be brought forward. The Estimates were ordered to be printed. Adjourned. • THE EVENING SIAR. ,LONDON. - SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1814. - - .

'We have received three days Pails Papers—those of the 7th, Bth, and 9th instant. We have carefully extracted from them, and particularly from the Mo niteur, every article connected with the Congress at Vienna. The departure of the Allied Sovereigns is said to be fixed for the 15th inst. by which day, it is presumed, that certain general principles will receive their solemn sanction. The final close of the Con gresscannot, it seems, beexpected before three months. —Tile fate 9f Saxony seems to be decided. A Dres• • den article laments the fate of the people !

The proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies for some days have been entirely confined to ameliora tions in the collection of the taxes, no ways interest ing to an English reader. It is proposed to lower the duties on salt and malt liquors, and to increase those on wine, with the view of lessening the con sumption oldie latter. In other words, the exportable quantity d wine is proposed to be increased, for.the benefit of commerce. ''FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, OCTOBER 25. (Front the Moniteur.) The Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Powers have daily conferences. We all know that the most im potent subjects are discussed, but nothing transpires. The business is expected to be so far advanced, that the Congress will be able to hold its first solemn meet ing on the 4th November. We shall probably then know what has been previously arranged. The re. tam of the Sovereigns from Buda will take place the day after to-morrows it is now certain that they will =main at Vienna until the 15th of November; and that previous to that day the chief arrangements will be made so far as principles are concerned. The Ple. nipotentiaries will afterwards apply these principles in their conferences, and wilt take the decisions there upon. PARIS, NOVEMBER S. DECLARATION.

A commission of three Plenipotentiaries will proceed to the verification of these powers, and after such verification, the Plenip,otiaries of the aforesaid Powers will propose the measures which they shall have judged the most convenient for regu lating the ulterior proceedings of the Congress. The bureau for receiving the full powers as above, will be opened on the 3d November."' MADRID, OCTOBER 2S. The proceedings against the individuals accused of having usurped the Royal authority, known by the name of Liberales, have been partly terminated. The sentence given by the Commission appointed for the purpose has peen puhlisbedi and is sold by authority. Thirty persons are condemned to exile, the sallies, privation of employs:teat. We find in the list several Ecclesiastics, and two Members of the Academy of History ; the latter have also been expelled the So ciety. The principals, (Quintana, Arguelles, Gal. logo, and Gallardo,) are not yet sentenced. The Commission is composed of several Members, and the Captain-General of New Castile is President, Mr. Joseph Artega. The C;unt del Pinar did not excuse himself as has been reported. Messrs. Andre la Sauca (ins colleague in the Council of Castile), Mosquera and Alcala Galiano, the former of the Council of the Indies, and the latter of that of Fi nances, have,signed this judgment. Two individuals comptehen* in the sentence have been condemned in damages to the Rtverend Father Augustin de Caseroi•Editor of the Sentinelle It: la Mancha, who had .complainet of thein. In general, the Treasury has lost nothing by these proceedings. The guilty pay all expenses, besides heavy fines, for which their pu nishment may be commuted. DREMEN, OCTOBER 26. At length our is decided, and there no longer exists an Electorate or Kingdom of Saxony. This file capital, which has been so long the residence of our august Sovereigns, will become a n - ere provin cial town. The greater part of Saxony will be united to Prus. sia, and we Shall be Prussian subjects. It always costs some time to r iss from a domination which existed in slme measure from time immemorial, under the yoke of, another with whom we have had long quarrels. It is true thatcomlort of every description is promised us ; for instance Saxony, properly so I called, will not be dismembered. The Duke of Saxe Weimar has certain portions as signed him, as a compensation for giving up his Vieituil Clotho to the succession of the Crown ; but this Prince is neither to have the city of Leipsic, nor the districts of Nnumbourg, Merscbourg, and &its, as once reported. It has also been proinised, that Saxony shall retain its • name, constitution, liberties, and finances : lmt how can all this be reconciled with the plan of Prus sia, which always tends to one uniform aim ?—time will shew wh:tt this is. The Pros,ian Government does not want for zea 'Gas apolngists, who paint to us all the happiness which we are about to enjoy under the dominion of Prussia. To speak the truth, the King of Prussia is beloved by his people. He has done every thing for the glory and tranquillity of his subjects : he is the enlightened friend of order and justice: he is acces sible without respect of persons : he is the patron and protector of arts, manufactures, and learning. His Ministers are also eminent for virtue and talents; but the Saxons will always see with regret the admi nistration of their country pass into foreign hands, and it will be very difficult to keep out innovations. VIENNA, OCTOBER 28. The Crown of Poland will be placed oa the head of the Emperor Alexander. Lnrd Castlereagh opposed for a long time, the union of Poland with Russia ; at Austria did the annexation of Saxony to Prussia, but without effect. We have also this day received Brussels Papers to the:9th inst. Their contents chiefly allude to arrange ments making with MURAT, preparatory to his quit ting the Sovereignty of Naples. The SOVEREIGN PRINCE OF THE NETHERLANDS, Will, it is said, soon assume the title of the KING op BELGIUM : ROME, OCTOBER w. The infant Don Francis, who was to be created a C.lrdinal, has laid down the ecclesiastical habit. BRUSSELS, NOCEMBER 4. A public print has the following article, dated Naples, October 20: " It is the general opinion here, that King Joachim has received from the Congress at Vienna a formal proposal to consent to receive an indemnity for the Crown of Naples, which would then be restored to its ancient possessor. The death of Queen Caroline of Sicily has diminished still more the small party of King Joachim, by allaying the fears of those among the Nobility who were apprehensive that they should not be able to recover the favour of that Princess." VENICE, OCT. 10. Letters from Corfu stale, that that island is still in a very ustaetded state. Upon the reported cession of ta territory ore a certain celebrated order, it has tent Ittessis.

Several officers of the late Italian army, ria. tives of Mookna, are ordered to quit the Modena* ter. titory. COI OGNE, NOVEMBER B. The General Government of the Upper and Middle Rhine, and the Government of Belgium are negocis. ting a Convention for the free exchange of the manu factures of the two Governments.

Sunday evening, the I fith, about eight o'clock. the sloop Bounty, of Strangfnrd, in ballast, from Dun drum to Whitehaven, struck cm a small rock, about 40 feet from rock M'Camon, off Portevogie, two miles south of Billyhalbert. Guns were beard firing, and other signals of distress; but owing to the storm, and the dark night, no boat ventured to their assistance. Neat morning the sloop was a to:al wreck, and all on board perished : four of the bodies have been since found and interred. It is remarkable, that the clamour against vit. troops Er burning the civil offices in the City of Wash ington, was an afier•lhoughl. Not a syllable was said on the subject for some weeks, until some ingenious friend started the game, which no doubt will be pur sued with keenness. Last week, a serious affray occurred on one of the road.; leading to Campbleton, in the west of Scotland. Mr. AI KIN, Supervisor of Excise, of th place, and another officer In company, having stopt a loaded cart which they met, for the purpose of discovering whe ther any whiskey might be concealed therein, a w.irm altercation ensued between them and two persons, named McMillan and M'Kinlay, who accompanied the cart. In the scuffle which followed, Mr. Aitkin received a blow which terminated his life. The two men have been apprehended, and sent to Edinburgh Jail.
