the Spanish divisions retreating to
that city and towards Gibraltar. On
the jrth Feh’uary they invested Cadis,
by the captute of St. Mary’s a nort
opposite the Island, about six miles
distant, and summoning the city to

a gallant answer of refusal & defiance ;

defence ; while, a' the same time, all
the ships of war, English and Spanish,
amounting to a r*-rv considerable num

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF”PEERS;
Thursday, February 1.
Lord Grey rose, pursuant to notice,
:o move for several documents respect,
ng the late treaty with America. His
>bject in moving for them was to as
certain how far the conduct of Mr. 1
Erskine, in negociating that treaty, !
vas liable to blame. Having thus
stated the chief object of his motion, «
ie should not now offer any further 1
>bservation unon it. until th* 1
vere beAc the House. His Lord- !
ihip concluded with moving for the
:orrespondihce since April lAst, be- '
ween Mr Canning and Mr Erskiae, 1
larticularlv the instructions sent out ,
o Mr. Erskine, and Mr Erskine’s let- ,
er to Mr. Smithy Secretary of the A- i
nerican Government.
The Marquis of Wellesley thought 1
hat as the papers moved by the noble '
L,ord referred to a transaction that i
ras now passed, he was not aware of >
my objection to the production of '
hem. As, however, the noble Lord’s '
notion referred to all the instructions J
nth which Mr Erskiue has been fur
ished, he thought it might be pro
•er to bring forward some more papers »
han those moved for by the noble
-ord. The matter he should make it [
iis business to inquire int >, and if he
bought the production of any more
•aoers necessary, he should move for
hem on Monday next.
Lord Grey’s motion was agreed to. •
Lord Krskine could not omit the *
•resent occasion of offering a few ob. "
erv itwns to their Lordships. It had
>een iuiiumted that his near relation, r
n ne j^ciaphg^the treary with Ame- •
ica, h*4 IWhJ rather to the political o- *
inion on tWr subject of the side of
fie house on which he sat, than those *
f his majesty’s Ministers. Into the
rounds of this rumour he had anxi
utly inquired, and found to his satis- -
tetion that the report was wholly
dthout foundation. Had he discov
red that his son was justly liable to
ie charge of such a dereliction of du
' an^ f*ic^ a breach of confidence, F
earl*’ ;%id dearly as he was connected »
ith him, he never would have spo- ,j
ento him. But whenever he touched *
pou tnia subject he trusted it should
appear that he spoke as.a statesman
"m I a Peer of the • Realm, and not
Irom the bias of anv personal motive
or personal connection.
Monday, February 5.
•The Marquis Wellesley, pursuant
to notice, rose to move for certain pa
Per* ^cdattected with the subject re
specting which (the conduct of Mr.
Erskine iri concluding a treaty wirh
the American Government contrary to
his instructions,) a nohle Earl [Grey]
had moved for other documents On
[Thursday last. He though it advisa
ble that every document relative to the
| question, which could tend to. place it
|in its proper light, should be before
the House previous to the discussion
of that impoitant question. II«*
should therefore move for other inclo«
sure*, not moved for by the noble Earl,
which were contained in the dispatch
which the noble Earl had called for,
and for some other dispatches of a
more remote date. *
Earl Grey could have no objection
to the production of any papers which
could add to the information he had
air ady moved for, & which could con
tri'mte to throw light on the question he
intended tobring forward, w.iich would
be confined to the conduct of Mr Ers
kine in the circumstances referred to ;
he did not wish to involve in it the
question of the general conduct of go
vernment with regajrd to A nerica.
Lord Wellesley then moved for the
additional papers, and the motion was
(greed to.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
* -Monday, February 5,
Mr Whitbread observed, as there
was no objection to the motion which
he was about to make, he should move'
an address to his majesty for copies
of certain dispatches of the dates of
the 3d and 4 h of December, 1808,
from Mr Erskine to the Secretary of
State, (Mr Canning,) also the letter of
Mr Erskine to Mr Smitu, referring to
these dispatches, Stc.
Mr Canning seconded the rinotion
of the hon. gentleman- He w is inclin
ed to do so from what had passed in a
nother place, which led him to inter,
that in the production of the papers
now moved for, nothing injurious to
the public service would follow. The
question which would arise out of the
papers«4t»uld be founded on the ag. ce
ment entered into with the A ncrica i
government and Mr Eiskine, which a
greement it was impossible for his ma
jesty to sanction* Xc was quite a dis
tinct thing whether the British Go
vernment should be bound by its own
■ict with the American Government,
or whether it sh./uld be bound by an
unauthorized act of its agent. The
correspondence would clear tnat act.
Hie question was not whether the in
itructions given by tne Government to Mr
lirskine was politic or wise, but whe.her
in accredited agjnt was justified in de»
Jdrtmg from his natrui.oos When the
> ipers we,e beiore the nouse, it would be
ihew.i where tne fault |ay, ar.d men it
voulil be ascertained in wnat manner sucii
leparture from positive tnstructio.is should
»e animadverted upon. In pomt of tact
he instructions were oisob yeJ, and .f any j
idditional papers were recessary to throw
i light upon the subicct. no doubt
would be granted, if called lor. It was
ixpedieut tnat the world should see what
he actual instructions were.
Mr Whitbread was not disposed to h ive
uid a word, if the ,right hon. gentleman
lad not so very unexpectedly offered him
elf to the notice of the House If here_
ifter, upon juVestigation, it should appear
w °f the instructionj giv
:n to A*r Mrikiu| was carried into effect
»y thatAge^^mpn, it would become the
ight hon. 1 man* to show why the
reatywith America bad not been ratified*
Vun reap ct to certain papers, ue found
tiat one marked Ao 1, nad not beau pro
>uced, which would have given a differ* at
caturelo the tiausact.oa .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was
erfectly convinced tnat the papers, wuen
roduced, would satisty the House that
either the letter nor spirit ei tile instruc.
"ins had been obeyed. I'ue motion was
hen agreed to.*
