'to have reshited the productiOn of these peewits; but o urlerstatfilag ~that it was the with or perboue cur:sleeted with Sir John Moore, that there let.- , tere should' be produced, mid being inclined ou his part to pay every possible intent' to that freliug, as far us it was consistent with the public service, he elimild withdraw his opposition, and hr disposed to accede to that part of the 'Joanne un der the reservation with which at was now proposed. Ile had no object' to that part of the Noble Load's Motion standing as it did; and us to the other correepontlente mentioned, there would I.e • reason fur its ni n e-production apparcot opus' the return to be Hide. The letterwritten by Lord Castlereagh to Sir Hew Dalrymple, upon the ete•- gestiou of the Portuguese Ministers, did not ten d' to throw Roy light upon the general state of the war in Spitiee.andeould not be produced, as he'for nierly landed, without injury to the public gel-eke. As to the letter from Mr. Secretary Limning to Mr. Frere, lie intended to accede to its production ; hut it would be found entirely to relate to events of this campaign that were passed at the time it was • itteu. The other letter from Mr. Canning to M r. 4 'rule, ref.nring to that of Sir Joliti .1i wire, dated 2d MT.

There was no one objectiout to the el-Induct of His Majesty's tioverniumat less founded ate reason thauethat charge, and he hoped it small, appear to lie me. when on opportunity occurred of diceessiiig t.le grarral.quertiou. The letter from Sir Juhu Moore to Lord Castlereagh, dated Jaacary 13, 1410, 91.11411 t lint to tie pressed just lina. as there weir wine remains existing for its non-production till s Shalt time bailee. Upon the whole, with the exception of the instruct oils contained iii Lorre (!astlerenglea letter, its to the support of the regency of Portugal, he watt disposed to acce.le to all the motions that haul been made, if they were persisted in, at least so far as is consistent with the public service. Ile was unwilling to autimpute the dis cussion iipop the general question that must short- Is follow; lint lie should only say, that the con duct of Ilia Majesty's tioverument had .proceeded front a just consideration of what was best calcu lated for the interests of our allies, cud of our own country. Lord Russet a thought, that an additionhl mos flan begone neeessiiry upon this subject, and that was for the production of copiee or extracts of all correspondence between His Majesty** Principal Secretar. of State n o el His M:ijesty's Minister resi dent in Sputa, touetuaig any military arringetneets for supplying tits British army with provisions upon their march through that countr ; at it ap ',cured these matters that had been wider the airanagerneiat of civil mitred of nathlary officers. If at, were outeudeil tlintthe &emission of this itn pertain subject should he full anal cousp:etr, he could not fram e. to Innat:lf nay objection that cook! possibly lie tawle to such is domitne.it as the one he alluded to haeree produiced. However, as he haul not „wivu.ii a regular : be should, if thought necessary, postpone it to a • futon! day. The Earl of Ltvittrotat, atuewered, that not being aware of such a neon being to lie made, he could not take upon himself to say at present whether it could Ire pro:le:led or taut, bust as the Noble Lord had no objection to postpone his mo tion, it would be ucettlese then to enter into further explanation. Lord GRENVILLE said, he could not agree with the Nol le Secretors, what be insinuated that even • a small degree of inmate wits to be imputed to Sir John Moore, iii not sending . home more minute etatteieetits wf his progreel it, Spain ; for in his (Lori ( ;rem o, ii arm, lint thu: enialheit degree of blame aoedd tie a : etched to that gailant sod lameteted Officer. It was utidoilinu dly toe duty of our Minister at Madrid, io intriria our Secretary of State here as to the progress of ear townie in that irountry. lie shoald, therefore, assert, that if blame was at Ml to be imputed to soy oue, it at , inched to the living, a n d not to the dead. Mr. Prere was the person who ought to atcouist for any apparent otimetiotis or neglect: The Earl or !Av.:Art.oi. etplainiud, and said, lie • lintßlC4ll to infer, that if Hilt' blame existed, it was to Is impend to StrJohis Moires; al: lie stated was, that if letters, such us 'bore alluded to, were addreeeert to any eereon, either civil or military, in Spain, they ought, the comurou course of Inca mess, to hare been transmitted to him. But, in poo k t of fact, there were mine trent:flitted, either by Frere or by Sir John Moore. This, he con ceived, might occur through the pressure of • His Majesty's Ministers were not offieially is poviesinan of threw letters, so as to be able to produce them as ',oldie documents; but, indeed. the object for which those letters were desired, dial not appear to be one that could be answered in soy degree by the production of them. He wished it to he distinctly understood, that he did hot mewl to attac:a the vurailost degree of blame to Sir John Moore in partietilar. Lord GREN1111.1.1; could not help disapproving or the Noble Se . cretnry, merely as it were making en attestants. for Sir John 1\ Iron, for not haring transmitted these dispatches, ur , e tu-comit 'tithe pres sure of bininess, anal the difficultieri in which that gallant officer stood. Ile hid a right to prolleme that the King's Ambassador at Nfadnil, who trans mitted instructions to Sir John Moore, would have also tramsinitted them to Ills Mujeety's Secretary of State herr ; and therefore Sir Joint Moore vita rhy no nieaue to blame, as lie most have hod reasoit to think these dispatches would hate been trans mitted to this country through another ehatintl.— This, however, was not the day Are enter further into that pout or toe subject. ft ass only nerve wary that their Lordships should keep time minds (span fur its selaserttenit consideration„ amid de cide it upon the evideure that might he kola:Out forward. As to the letter, reknie to the peva:dish silent of the Regency of Pnrtegal, the Nolte Se as/buy had said it could not be produced without detrimelit to the public serrate; but in raving so, lie must take the responsibility of thr sissertiou upon himself, for there WO N no doubt, cotwielcnable responsiloility attached to Minasttro, atoling such eh melte ter the nos-produetion of a public document. It had beets also rutted, that that letter was wjwlly hileOulleeted with the campaign la Spaim; but, in his seamen, so fur from its being foreign from that campaign, st would appear that the measures taken to etteietsli that Regency had all immediate effect m thief-fore ht shank! le oe st against this jiletice of such an asser tion. As to the motion for the .locusuent, relative todates, he shotilit pruteee, that instead of with holding it alto r e tiler, esi aveumeit of its being in complete, it should be produced as far els it could be made up. Visconut SITMAILYTU olnienTil, that although his Noble Friend thought that such u due unwed beme, produced would prove eletrimelind to the public service, it did not tliereliire follne. , that that House should thiek so. It rim) avail the objection feu merly stated, that the Regency hod mirth et upon the campaign, that he had urged his Iseble Friend near I evidently appeared t h at it had had au effect awn' the war in Spain ; fur, previous to the Reeeuey,a, iamb larger force was employed in Portugal then idler it; when our force wt 4 withdrawn into the Spanish territories. He could not help thiukin e , that the docuMent called tor as to ties subject ought to be • CdriGltkT oleerveil, that, as the Noble Secree tary of State asserted, that the production met this document would be. detritneatal to the public Sal. Vice, he could out avoid thinking that, whet' our of the f iuzg s Ministers toek so much responeibilitj upon liiinrelf, it was certainly his dut y to state some' reasons for *ltch an itisertimi. Ile must ac quiesce, undonbtedly, iii what ees stated by that Noble Seeretary ; but when there appeared to lee something u, the: trurivartien itself that 'mule him suspect it would turn out otherwise, he had a right to eat further explanation of the grounds upon which it wits suooosed to her detiimental ; or, at least, that it should be shewn there WIL4 a praise bike of sueh a detriment existing. The persons composing the Regency, tieing still in power, it might be possible thut the peeluction of these in otructions might he attended with some detriment; bat e a+ io the document being micouneeted with the camp aieu in Spain, he must state his °plains's to be completely °temente ; and, besides, it was necessary to be produced, to 'hew the knowledge which Ministers, at tiro', had of the Armistice and Convciition concluded in Portugal. The Earl of Livcarool. added, that the first knowledge they had of the Aratilitiee von sequence of a communication from the Portuguseat • Minister, inclosing certain papers. The object of this 'notion Was to produce tee iuclusures as well as the correspondence ; but be cell tmight . the ofsiduction ofeither of them woule and he was therefore inclined still to object to the. motion ; and the more so, because the Armistice ,was at that time unsatisfactory to the Portuguese Goversament, as well Its to [his Majesty's Govern. went. The pullers in question arose out of that coimuunicatiou fruit, the Portuguese Government, aecompanied with a letter from Si: floe. Dalrym ple, which, without explauatiou, could not be in telligible to any one. Earl Gate said, if he understood the Noble Secretary rightly, his ultjectiose then appeared to relate only to the predictor of the 'actinium, as relative to the Armiatice ; if so, lie should move as eftaragodiro ant to th e motitin " That the words • with the incloeures ' be omitted." The Earl of LiOisassoos persisted in his objec tion to ',nth the letter *ad inclosurea. The Berl of Butetstettaustung said, lie enuld not conceive what detriment was likely tett:Lille to the public service by the production of the docu ment desired. It was dime to Sir Dew Dalrym-• pie, that the grounds upon which the original ob jection was made should be stated. Lord Gagevixac said, the objection made to this production was quite ioaduaissible, especially when it was snaineutleil. It was material, as a do- euinent, to sheer the impression that Wits 'Dude upon the minds of His Majesty'r Govt. uj first hearing of the 'armistice. The objection stated was one that should never be urged, except upou ex ceedingly good grounds, aid he .begged therefore to caution the Noble Secretary to refiect upon the sittiatiou in which he thereby placed himself. It was not a matter tint °light to Ire 'ell to hazard, for every one must say, how was It possible that the prmluctiou of such a document could be detrimental to the public service. Ile had all along understood that the first impression made itpoe Mmisters as to the Armistice *us, that they had li.believed it; audit so, how came it that even ;hider those circumstances, when the Con veation was first heard of, there were immediately public rejoicings and firing of guns by their orders? They appeared to have been determined to make .the Convention palatable to the country, whether right or wrong. The Earl of Ltvearoot, said, he meant piiiiei pally to object in that part of the correspondence which related to the iiistructious sent to time Por tuguese Government, trout His Majesty's Goren,- inent. . The first impression ispou His Majesty's Gpverinneut, undouleeely was, to disbelieve it bfit he begged to observe, that the subsequent re upon occasion of the Convention. were net to be taken a. a sign of His Majesty'. Government approvisig of the Articles of that Conveution. but it merely took place on a mount of the evacuation, by the enemy, of the country of our ally. He melt easily cotweive that there might be tuauy CA*.t, of the capture of islands, upou which rejoieiiige might take piece, and yet the terms of the capture be such as might be afterwards the sulnuct of severe censure. It was merely. upou the event of the expulsion of the eueniy from the coun try of our ally, that the rejoteilig. in the entailer itemised to, took place; and therefore it could not lie looked upon as an approval, either of the Aimistiee or of the Convention, by Ili. Majesty's Govern meat, in any' shape whatever; for they should always re bane their Or mon, that 10111 C of the articles comild not be jueldied, ender all time cif...innateness of tile cane; but there were others of them, for ahic:i some excuse might he pleaded. l'isenistit Swum: tit said, he believed this was the first instalice in which the Ministers of Dis Britannic Majesty ever ordered 'while rejoicings fur diezracefiil Convention ; our, that, in His Majes ty's men opissimi, from the Throw. had disappoint. rd the hopes and expo. et "nines of the country. • The Lotto CW41100104 Oben Pot 114 e t°li°l " in i Motion sort A inamdirorot from tht: Woolsack, TI lan kiihnbid Address be to Hie Miajesty, praying, tied h e imeold be great, S ly pk we ased to order the pro. decagon of a espy of tie Dispat.

ENGLISH MILITIA COMPLETION BILL. • Lord Castr.Litcswi muted, " That this bill be now read a second titre." Lord A. Harit.ton said, be should oppose its further progress ; he would wove the rejectiou of it altogether, as tucimmistent with the justice, ho nour, or policy of the country. It was his inteution to propose, instead of its being now read a second time, that it should be react again this day three mouths. It was not his wish toeister tate a discussion of its various clauses ; as, if it went lute a Commit tee, he should tlieu be al.lt to suite his olaitrirtiurts ; but in cooside►iug it geurrally, he declared it to be a breach of the faith of l'arliament; for in the Mi litia Act of iio7, it was there decland that recourse should not agent lit had to the ballot Iw•fuhr the year 1810 ; he therefore maintained, that it iris i 4 dograut breach pwlilic iwth, mid hopc.l the House would timer sutftr it to go to a Cowin/titer. Notice hail berm given in bring so n buil a, .huhrnd the Local Militia Act, so that where Parliament promised not Esicatis to tided . ..it with the people, by bringing forward any new totemic, they had au tually brought forward two. If any isessure west brought forward to *ellen the burdens of the people, it was art aside, but when a measure im posing hardships upou them was brought in, it was pressed toward. Auotiu ground of objection to this Rill was, that it proposed 'Moog recruits for the militia be beat of drum ; a thing 'serer before heard of, sod could may be attended to delude. It was welt known that recruits could net be procured for dotilde the 111111 of the bounty 'imposed ; iu that point, therefore, it was nulotory ; aril the re su►t would be, that the whole number would lave to he raised by ballot—i measure which they were p!edir.l not to adopt.

Mr. Otte+ said, the abjection* be had to make to thisßill were on suother retina trout tlis•Ae stated by the last streaker. The Noble lord's (Hawker, • bury) plaits dolled the possfhility of inerea.ing the regular florets tlyatlie ordiaary modes arreurandi g . There were but three neele,i of augineutiog our army ;•"bs , giving um initiate:aid bounty—li,thtelitig the burden and lessening the ;meet of service— . or by cutalmil.inn. 'There were list those three ways of getibag rid of the Noble Lord's shifieulthrs. Oh, but the Noble Lord thought he had fouial out another, ass! gnt them to transfer their scrams from the :Militia ; but this was the moat exgetieve of all ; Ito does not increasie the strength of our isti i tars. establishment, he only obtains 411111“tniSe the disposable force; and then, to support the militia, he his recourse to ballot or to compulsieu. The reason given by a Right Hon.

Now the Noble Lard thiiiks by his measure we get co • soldiers' with•.nt an increased bounty.

( Hear! lie.: , '1 Ili a the Stride Lord mean to say, without interfering with the Militia,. be colds' not raise men at a bounty of 381. each ? The Hon.

In attdi- • tion to these objections, there were many clauses iu the Bill which he should object to, bat which be would not then speak upon. as be could do that iii • the Committee; but trusted the House would &Ile him that trouble, by rejecting the Bill altogethet. Colonel Mown. elm opposed the Bill, and de clared, that the discipline of the Militia was never sunk so low as during the operation of the Act for recruiting the Line from the Militia. It di.- ci waged the Militia Officers, and changed their • engagements and their duties. The lieu. Member Inge(' many arguments against the Bill, but ii, SO • low a tone of voice, we were unable to collect these. Mr. Locetater said a few words in support of the 'emote reading of the Bill, and considered the measure as equaltziog the burden which must se ctssarily fall upon the people. Mr. Barraito said, that if such a number of men had been lost, as to render this Bill necesaie for replaciqg them, be considered it a subject wei worthy of inquiry ; if, on the other hand, as hid 'beam asserted, oar loss had only amounted to enoa men, in that case lie saw no Necessity for the meat sure, which he considered as drstrtictise of the spirit of the militia ; for whet officer would be at the trouble of recrnitieg, when he knew that elm men would to. drafted away as soon as they vier rendered fit for service ? There were several GiftW.ra in the Bill, which were particularly objectiomble. and which must be altered in the Committee. pa.- ticularly that authorising the batistes-ring Ito e from one regiment to another ; a measure contradictory to the vary spirit of the milling, witch was founded in a kind of local preditectiou, which led men to enter into particular regigneeta in preference to others. To the principle of the Bill he had a total objection, as tieing calculated to lay a tery urgent burden on the landed ti,tarral the country., in raising the Decessary maniac hart fur its protection; if it were tut soled, as be 0.1 - eeived it was, to get std of the matzos altogeti let it be done opeuly and manfully, and not the". by Is side wind, attack them for the purpose of tratering them away by d eg r ees .
