F Mr. P. GRANT said, that if he thought the delay of a week would enable any person to form a more correct olininn on this subject than he might have ni presort, he would cheerfully vote for the amend ment; but believing as he did, that there was not a Member who had not made up his mind on the sub ject, he could see no benefit in delay. As to the , Petitions presented to the House, no man could be , more inclined than he was to defer to the public' opi. nion of the country, yet he conceived the rule to be this, that the House, after duly weighing all thif was laid before it, should form its own judgment.— In hls mind, the sooner the question was set at rest the better. • • Mr. Alderman Smith and Mr. Alderman Atkins were for the amendment, Sir John Newport was against it. Mr. CA LCRA FT. said, that not one half tit the Representatives of the people had yet voted.. He had never yet heard it expressed as 'the doctrine •of the party with whom he once had the honour to vote and among whom he was at present sitting (the Op position), that because_a majority had once made up their minds on a subject, that subject should be con sidered as entirely settled. Ile was asta►iished to find his formes friends so blinded ; nor could he ac count for it, except in the supposition that they were amazed that he had retailed to sit among them, though perhaps but for a short time. He con. ceived next Friday to be too early a day, as the distant. parts of the kingdom would not have time to inform themselves, , and to petition on the sub . ject. Mr. WIIITBREAD ',marked, that though he was inclined to support the amendment, he must wake an obseriation on the speech of his Ilonoura. ble Friend who had just satdown. The Honourable Gentleman had thooght•proper to attack the whole tench of Opposition, whom he professed his inten. flogs of leaving at the same moment that he gave them credit for the best motives and the most liberal THE STATESMAN. opinions, He could only say, that whenever the honourable Gentleman might choose to return amongst them, they would be very happy to receive him; and in the mean time he hoped that in all his attacks upon them, he would be as ready to eulogise their principles, as he had to-night shown himself•at the momeut oL abandoning their Connection: As to• . he question before the loose, he thought it advisa. . ble not to make,a show of precipitation, where no precipitation could be intended. There was no ocoe-' sion for any hurry, and therefore, though he must allow that to him it did not appear that fixing Frt day nest was any extraordinary. urgency in the bit: hitless, yet he .conceived that a delay'retild not but be useful whore dispatch might be liable to' unsinter- Filiation. • ' Mr. CALCRA FT, in capitulation, observed, that he wished that every Member of the Opposi tion would make the same avowal as his Honourable Friend. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and a division having take►► place on the amendment, there appeaied— A yrs .- • , . MoJority - 79 On out re.admiSsion into the Gallery, we found Air.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that a general law -existed to- Spain taitive to the importation of• foreign coin, and some partial detention may hieve;occurred iir consequence of each regulation. . . Mr. BENNETT Naked, whether the Right Ho nuttrable Gentleman opposite was prepared to give to the House an account of the several sums of money ,transmitted to Sir Henry IVellesley to de fray the expencei of the march of the Spanish. armies under Lord Wellington's Command into Spain ? • . The CHANCELLOR of the EtCREQUER said, that the accounts were in a 'state of forward mess, and would shortly be submitted to the House. sltt..lkMtA DUFF. Mr. WHlTBREAD.—lnilie&;urse of last Ses sion, owing to some information which hid appeared in .a Newspaper, he bad mentioned to the House s transaction which was supposed to be of such a na ture that it could not have taken Place.. Enquiry, however, was made, and the result wai;'not only that the report was true, but that the case mentioned was marked with many aggravating circumstances.— lie afterwards took the liberty of asking, whether. his. Majesty's Consul at Cadiz • had • endeatouredlo obstruct the escape of some Spanish subjects from their infernal Government The Chancellor of the Exchequer al that time spoke in the tone of a man who disavowed such proceedings with indignation the Papers, however, had been since produced, 'and there did appear to be some contradiction of the ori ginal statement of.the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had recommended some specific motioo on the subject ; a recommenda. tionwhich.at first he was not dispos e d to attend to, becanse.he conceived that there could be no person who would presume to palliate the conduct which he represented, and because Lord Bathurst had himself condemned-the transaction. Bat as the matter had turned out, be was not disinclined ro adopt the sugges. tion of the Chancellor of the &Chequer ; for he hoped that his motion would afford an opportunity of con• tradicting the opinion s hat England supported the tyranny of Spain. Such a contradiction was not unne.: l cessary, as it was well known that Geo.

Whittingham to place Ferdinand on . the bloody throne on which be now sat, and from which in all probability be must soon be hurled.
