'This repo rt M. duaga athipts on the. words ,of the Hibeenian Colonel, without receiving ' any communications from his own Court .on the subjeet. In the" mean tinie'we, perhaps, were to flow those Ships, with troops, tosail, and shape their course; not for Bis_ cay, but' for Chitia. Was the passage by ,ea shorter 'than the march by land ?—was the expedition ; laid' aside till the troops were wanted for Biscay? This excuse tar 'explanation never occurred, however,- to `theGovernorof Galicia, or to M. Cevallos, till they had 'time to learn it from MaAtiduaga,and :from the London-Papers; in which that pretext was very industriously Set forth; What was the answer of the Governor of Galicia ?— . ..ve should' feel trio - jealousY or ralarm ahout the armament, it was only intended against • BiScay, But when Mr.' Frere pressed for an explanatiOn, Cevallos hest. laced, 'aed . had not a word to proVe that the harm. less expedition' was destined for Biscay. The • answe r of M. Anduaga teas also of a nature which could not inintise Upon any but the most - shankless and cUntemptitale .dupes. But attend to the nature of the ships and of the expedition , .. if the troops were urgently wanted, why send them by sea and 'not by land Had Spain no smaller craft by which they might he m.tre Conveniently con- veyed ? Again,. it it was necessary to send them by ships of war, oliy nut convey them in the usual :Danner ships artoid n . li:its I Where w.rs'the 'necessity Ot loading thea, gut ? Were there not French and Daiel: sity, , , prepared to sail at the same time ? Aral ..1! these tinaccountableap:pearances had surely potl:ng in Octal to crcate alartn, to ex. cite jealousy! Besiaes, the Bay of •Bs.iety is not well calculated to tceeive large ships ; and would they be ventured on apassage to the must• stormy ' sea, at the most stormy period of the yen ? 'Could ' silliness itself listen to such a story ? Respeeling the • armaments in the other Spanish Ports, there May no: peen some contradittion,..but this arises from a dif.. Terence in date's of the instruelinns from Cadiz and other ports • on : these :points it was: unnecessary longer to dwell ; they must be clear' to every un. • prejudiced mind. The intention of the araiaments Uould not be underitood ; futile Were the attempts to • 'explain,them away. An order was issued to disarm; but in what manner was it executed ? juSt in a man. net as would alloW the s hip s t o b e ag;ttn r i gge d an d Manned in 24. hours.. There is then every passible evidence - of an bititile intention ag a i ns t t hi s c ou nt ry 1 Where did t h e to . it;cipal armament take platiel: ln that very port witere there were French and Dutch ships equipping at the same time ;::and where they • were preparing to sail \ogether on stitne secret tax.. pedifion. This ,wad disavowed ;shut what appears' upon the face. of the transatliona if the necessity were genuine; as haye prOyed it not to be, no delay would have occurred ; • days and Weeki . would not .liaveelapseel before the order was exe. cuted, ; Yet notice of suds' - destidatinn of the armaments. was here given by M. Aeduago; not at Madrid, by M. `Cevallos; the Governor of daricia knew nothing of its being intended for 't Biscay, but ingenuously tonfesscd.that it ivaaalea. tined for a secret expedition. Suchevident symp. toms of hostility, and such, paltry attemp” to conceal them, could not for a moment irn.• pole on the must inattentive or -credulous üb. server, and could need no further dettainn to lay them open to t h is House., Not have His Majesty's Ministers done'more then what the necessity of the • case required: It' will now be for them and for this House to follew up that war, since it is be, come necessary, with a vigour; a spirit, a n d art energy equal to 'the niihinesi and moderation with which they have *endeavoured to prevent it. The same lenient Spirit. - that marked the whole of our. proceediegs will, after the war is made unavoidable :from a breaelv'of. the con. ditions upon 'which:it might have been avoided, 'still Incline us to keep 'open a .door to enaitle , Spain. to:tread back her hostile steos, and restore us to friendship and peace with a COttlitry, ,the inhabitants of which we have always es4erned• We ached towards them, evco on the outset of the. : wars; st.itit the spirit infused by. that sentiment—we, h a ve only stopped the,accumulation of naval stores, and ore naval force, that would be ttiined against r. us:by the malignity and ambition of an Enemy who seeks may his own aggrandisement at the 'expence of suppose:l , friends, as well as of his declared enemies. The Right Honourable 'gentleman then recapitulated his different argurnents,' and referred the question to the c an d our o f t h e House :after. which he•concluded by moving, " That an humble Address be presented, to His MAJESTY* assuring His •Mt*JISTY that the Hi4l6e haVe observed With _theaatiafaEtiun arid moder a ti on d forbearance 'wi t h which HIS . 0 STY had so long avoided hostility with Spain, and of the alacrity with which they are now prepared to prosecute it with vigour and resolution." Mr. pPAY rose, oppressed and ovetamwered by the sense of the numerous derails into which St would be necessary' (Or him to enter in order to confute the various fallacies of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down—details' as ex traordinary for the magnitude of their extent as for the itipartance of the objects which they embraced. To lessen the.ardunusnessof,the task, and to trespass as little as possible,upon the patience of the Hoost,he should touch but very lightly an 'those parts of the subjeei in which,no Material difference of opinion existed bet Ween him and the.

The 'Right .

At'the same 'rime that, he made this idinission, he by no ureans agreed with the *Right,lion.''Qerrlleman in cipitiinn, • „ • -:; r Wie 1": I that ihe arguments ugrt ey iM. p Arkluaga Ito liii.explanaion of the tendency of dila Treaty were . aci void of -weightas he seemed 10 imegine. These arguments strongly evinced the desire .of areal to limit that which 'had originally an soirensive meaning to one purely defensive, and 'could. this construnion of the Treaty have been mainteined it might' certainly have prOved equOly edvantae geous to both Countries. :In' his °ion •naintl„. he .was most .decidedly of opinion, thatiitoivits ;the true policy of this .Countiy to have remained , on . good terms with Spain; and, Rs far 46 he could coiled from 'the strange, uncertain, • and indistinel Male. of• documents which had been laid 'before the House on ohirsubjeti, it seemed at. cin . period to hove been 'the original opinion of Government.— He thottght it would have been the; policy of this Country :to maintain a good untferstanding with 'Spain, although that Country werh to have allowed to France the contingent fir the substitutes[ pecuniary succours. In his opinion., the subsidy which the. Right Hon. Gentleman, in alluding too it, had ooesidered as totally out -of the queseien, might have been acquiesced' in with perfczt saety 'and. propriety, provided, the other points on which: he had allowed • wo were entitled to' expea'sa. tisfaaion had been oeoleieed - in a manner edict). fated to remove-all uneasiness 'WI our ' , art.

Here is a satisfactory dispatelo! It commences with professing to inform out Nilinister how he is to ael, and in continuation directs him to refer again to his own Court.

Notwithstanding that Motioo, hoWever, no did. pa tch es had appeared from our Government to' Mr. Frere between the 2tl Of June and the zath of No. ember. The Right lion.
