'I'll* noble lord maintained that the letter of Mr.
Frere to Sir Is Moore, dated the 5th of December,
Contained the strongest requisition to proceed imme
diiifelyTipiih '6|>CfitTt0nS ixfapsist.ince to the enemy.
Hcalso showed from another letter, which ui ged the
general againstwetrent, from tjie circumstance of an
increased spirit in the people of Spain, that Mr.
Frere had made a very inaccurate statement, bottr
on that head, itnd with regard to the amount of the
French force then- in the country. Sir J. Moore, In
a letter of the 14th December, stated, that to enter
into the exact situation of the "people of Spain, and
an explanation of theirtemper would create a long
and delicate discussion. ’ Ip another letter, which
the family of Sir J. Moore were possessed of, that
officer stated the contents of a Communication, dated
the 2d DeUmber, made to liim by the secret junta.
Among other things they informed him that the army
of C.i»tanqs, when increased by some addition trom
Somnsierra and another qu rter would amount to a
bout 40,000, They likewi'C strongly exhort him to
fall back and form a junction with that army. Mr.
Frere had likewise stated the number of’Spanish
troopa in Madrid to amount to about 75,000 men,
and urged Sir John Moore to move in consequence
upon that City. Not content with his first letter,
which in the opinion of the noble lord ivas highly in
decent, and completely evinced a perfect ignorance
of whiitit was necessary he should fully and accu
rately know. Mr. Frere sentj by a messenger, a
lettefr of the same date, acsinug Sir J. Moore to hold
an immediate council of war, and upon the heads of
this communication to consult the bearer of bis let
ter. Tims was the command absolutely assumed by
Mr* Frere, advising p council of war, and referring
that council and the commander in chief for infor
mation to his messenger. As the name of the per
son in Whom his trust was reposed had been with
held, it, would reasonably lead to numerous surmises.
^Perhaps it was sonic leader of character who hud
crly headed the armies of France. Perhaps
ly he Dumnurier. Or perhaps it was the great
competition in fame, the riva l in arms of Buonaparte
himself—General Moreau. This supposition would
in some measure arise from the reported cir
cumstance of that generaPs having come over to this
Country in disguise, and being entrusted with some
Important delegation. No such thing. The mes
sanger ef Mr, Frere was a man of the worst and
mow mramnus cnaractcr. Ministers were not igno
rant of tUjfc 'The noble" lord on the opposite bench
was perfewty aware of the cautions wluch he had
once received with respect to that person. Some
time after the revolution in France he went out to
fth-TJeiidagn, where he practised as an advocate,
and was subsequently engaged in the revolt of that
colony, and,'the assassination of Tonssaint. The
noble Wd again repeated, that ministers were ac
quainted fully with the character of this man. He
had -since appeared inthe diifereut ports of this
country, and had beep under a prosecution for usury.
-If- the nnbie lord opposite was not yet fully convinced
of his character, he had only to look on the list of
bankrupts^, where he would find his name. Such
^jf.- c' map whom Mr, Frere thought fit to suggest,
as a proper person to guide the operations of Sir J.
Moore. The Nnbte Lord severely animadverted
here on the habit of employ ing'as spies the Outcasts
of revolutionary France. God forbid, he said that
he should hot at all times do homiur to the high and
chivalrous spirit in general manifested in the con
.duot fd tl* Noplcs of France ;.with such characters

been completely defeated and dispersed. There it
Appeared the enemy acted in a well digested plan,
while ft equally appeared that ministers had ho plan
at all; but betrayed only proofs of rashness, incapa
city, and ignorance. The noble lord theh.procecd
e<* .1*? .5?,anll?* 'he correspondence between. Mr.
Ffere and gShdrat Moore, and took occasion most
severely to condemn the conduct of the former.—It
was such, in his opinion, as showed him to be wholly:
unqualified ^>r the situation which he, hyld, anti,
which at the present moment was one of the utmost
delicacy and importance. In insisting on general
Moore to adganiefrnm Salamanca, and the nature
of the reasons he adduces in sopport of that advire,
it was to conceive any man in such situation to be
so ignorant. Gen. 'Moore, gen. Bait'd, every one
knew that the Spanish armies had been defeated,
arid that no chance remained for sir Johq Moore if
lie,advanced further into the heart of the country.
IVJjr. Frere would insist that sir J. .Moore had forty
thousand men under his command, while his force
amounted to ony twenty six thousand men j the
numuer at which it was stated the very last retut u.
VVak he tn'advance with such a forte at the risk of
ah’dCtion withltie whole of the French'army, and
that at a distanced' 200 milts from any port of em
barkation ? To follow the advice of Mr. Frere would

ami Sir D. Baird did not exceed SUOO in number.
He they the’ noble lord would in particular argue
upon tho sufficiency of the number sen’ out, in pro
portion to the establishment," Hut it was notorious
that the cavalry establishment-tyas never s<- high as
it was then, and is now. Id the yeag If 94, though
that description of the military force amounted, t
no more than 14,000 yet 7000 were actually employ
ed on the Continent. That there was die gre 'e-n
necessity for a sufficient proportion of cavalry,
appeared from the words of Sir I. Moore, who ex
pressed his conviction of a more successful resist*
ance if he were amply provided with that descripti.
on of force. Besides, both sir J. Moore and sir .Da
vid, Baird were wholly unprovided w-tb jnouev
for the payment of tW troops. As to the
affair of the Russian fleet, the noble lord con
tended, that the admiralty should have furnished
sir Charles Cotton With fresh instructions on that
subject. ’I he instructions which he had'rrceived,
warranted him to propose what terms he thought
pi oper to the Russian admiral, and even included
articlee which were to form a part of the couventi
°n. 1 hough Sir David Baird had requested, by let
ter, of sir Charles Cotton Ins immediate interfev
ence, in order to prevent the enemy from making
themselves masters of the ships at Ferrol, vet these
vessels actually fell into the enemy’s hands, no pre
vention was made use of. At what, he-would ask,
was he to state tne loss in men ? He iielieved the no.
ble lord opposite would admit it to he 7000 and up
wards. What, he would ask, should he compute our
... 4ii iuuiicv* anu ui<" cxpcnui
ture tor necessaries which were lost anti destroyed.
*t amounted to more than 5,000,0001. Were the'loss
S or 6000 horses, and a number of svtords and o
ther accoutrements to be added in this the total loss
would not be less than 3,0«O.O0M. The interest on
this would amount to 500,0001. per annum which
could only be paid by the imposition of a new tax.
In the cunt of modern patriotism, all this was of no
ip-cat consequence. His noble friend near him,
while in administration, pursued that severe econo
my on fair and solid principles, which, though by
some it was considered as sordid economy and a
want of rigoury was yet app,retly productive of
the greatest good. The noble secretary had attempt
ed to shew that solid advantages had been derived
from their proceedings in this affair. Upon this he
trusted that their lordships wqkjd not, however,
pronounce, except on the clear At and most mtelh
ble grounds. If ministers succeeded in making these
advantages apparent,he had no doubt hut that gene
ral confidence, so necessary in these perilous times,
would he restored, and thev would he grateful to him
fur having brought forward this inquiry. But he
was thoroughly, convinced that their conduct was the
direct reverse of true wisdom. He would adjure
their lordships, by the blood which had been shed,
by the lost resources of the country, and hv the de
feated cause of Europe, to execute with particular
circumspection on this cafce, that power with whidi
they were entrusted by their fellow countrymen_
The noble lord concluded by moving, that an humble
address be presented to his majesty.
The address generally states the disappointment
which was felt in consequence of the conduct of mi
nisters, and a regret thaf the national resources
should be improvidcntly expended ; and .concluded
with a general censure on the ministry.
